Stephen Colbert’s going on a hot, sweaty field trip | Grist

Stephen Colbert’s going on a hot, sweaty field trip | Grist: "Because all the posturing and gasbaggery about 'illegals taking American jobs' avoids one simple, difficult fact: 'Americans do not want to work in the fields. It's very difficult work that requires a lot of expertise, and the conditions are horrid! I was in the field on Tuesday with great workers out in Delano, Calif., in the San Joaquin Valley, and it was 110 degrees!' as Arturo Rodriguez, president of the UFW, told Stephen Colbert last night."
