GOP-ers may block Solis confirmation

Senate Republicans, frustrated over the answers they say they're not getting from Rep. Hilda L. Solis, may try to block her confirmation as Barack Obama's secretary of labor.

"She answered no questions," said Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), a member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. "If she won't answer the questions, how can you support the nomination?"

During the California Democrat's Jan. 9 confirmation hearing, Solis repeatedly told senators that she could not speak for the incoming Obama administration on the card check bill, and she told Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) that she was "not qualified" to speak about maintaining right-to-work laws that prohibit workers from paying union dues as a condition of employment.

"These aren't positions that you're allowed not to have an opinion," Wyoming Sen. Michael Enzi, the ranking Republican on the committee, told Politico. "These are extremely critical things that she was asked about. Each of the people that asked questions from the Republican side asked about different areas of labor law and wondered what she was going to do. And we still don't know."

Enzi said it's "too early" to say whether he will place a procedural hold to slow down her nomination, saying he was still reviewing her written responses to additional questions from committee members.

Guess these guys didn't get the memo. She is Latino, a member of the superior Cosmic Race, she can make her own rules and laws.

Yes, Bowman....that and the fact that she is a Latino period, which automatically qualified her for a political position in the state of CA and everywhere else. It's not necessary that she is actually qualified.

I watched the hearing and this woman is a joke but should fit right in with the Chicago Mafia run government now!

Hilda Solis
Summary:

U.S. Representative from California; Democrat; named Secretary of the Department of Labor in the Barack Obama administration. Strong supporter of illegal immigration who went as far as helping organize a press conference in Washington DC where supposed U.S. representatives joined with Mexican elected officials to promote comprehensive immigration reform. Said this in 1996:

"We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not."

She's an opponent of assimilation who joined with Media Matters for America to promote a report designed to silence those few broadcast figures who discuss immigration. See the video and a transcript of her related remarks at the link.

She has links to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA); see this.

As a California State Senator in 1999, introduced S.B. 371, which would have dropped legal residency requirements to obtain California driver's licenses; the goal was to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens.

From a PBS biography (link):

She hopes to push initiatives granting in-state tuition rates to illegal immigrants, and to expand health care coverage for undocumented workers.

That page also has a picture of her with someone who seems to be Vicente Fox.

From house.gov/list/press/ca32_solis/ImmigrationFieldHearinginDalton.html:

"The contributions of undocumented immigrants and the benefits they provide to the U.S. economy more than balance the meager health care resources which they are eligible to receive."

Speaking of which, she supported (link) the CHAMP Act (HR 3162), a children's healthcare bill related to the SCHIP program. While Section 135 clearly states "Nothing in this Act allows Federal payment for individuals who are not legal residents", let nothing stand between a Democrat and their support for race-based power: other provisions let the states establish weak rules for those who declared themselves to be citizens (link). An "audit" would be performed later, and the state would supposedly then reimburse the federal government for any illegal aliens they provided with care. All of that was window-dressing for the goal of giving healthcare benefits to illegal aliens.

She admits she's not qualified, so how does this make her a good candidate for Secty of Labor?!?! That leaves only one answer as to why she was nominated - she's the token latina.
