S001153.jpgSeems like Hilda Solis’s confirmation to finally get to work as the U.S.’s Secretary of Labor is finally set to happen.

Rep. Hilda Solis edged closer Wednesday to winning confirmation as the nation’s next labor secretary, after more than a month of delays over questions about her husband’s unpaid taxes and her work for a pro-union group.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee cleared her nomination in a voice vote with only two Republicans voting against her. The action sends the nomination to the full Senate for a final vote likely this week.

I was just wondering if you happen to know the story of the munoz family? I just saw their story on aljazeera engligh. The munoz family was separated in the spring of 2007, the mom and dad of 3 U.S. citizen children were deported after living in here for 20 years. you should watch the story. It’ very ironic how before the deportation the kids weren’t on wellfare, after they had to take assistance for and wellfare.
