Here’s WRITTEN the testimony transcript from this mornings immigration hearing.

In July of 2010–in the midst of Arizona’s immigration firestorm–I welcomed Arturo

Rodriguez, President of United Farm Workers of America, as a guest on my television show

to discuss the impact on harvests in California’s Central Valley. During our interview and

subsequent conversation, I learned of his Take Our Jobs Campaign; offering unemployed

Americans farm work, providing necessary training, and addressing the chronic and endemic

shortage of agriculture laborers across the country. While an enthusiastic endeavor, the

project recruited a mere three participants. As a comedian and satirist, the temptation of

subjecting my character to manual labor proved impossible to resist. I offered to be the

fourth.
