Immigrant advocates rave about Solis as Labor secretary
Several immigrant advocate groups are praising President-elect Barack Obama’s choice for Labor secretary — Rep. Hilda Solis, a California Democrat.
“In nominating a leader as skilled and dedicated as Rep. Solis to this important office, President-elect Obama is sending the clear signal that American workers, regardless of their country of birth, are a valued part of America’s future and a top priority for his administration,” he said.
Another group, Farmworker Justice, said Solis “is an excellent choice for Labor secretary and has long been a supporter of worker rights, including those of farmworkers.”
