Linda Chavez

Columnist, Fox News analyst, and chairman of the Center for Equal Opportunity. Strong supporter of massive immigration. Serves as a director of the boards of two large companies that employ large numbers of low-wage workers: the janitorial company ABM and the chicken processor Pilgrims Pride (abm.com/ABOUT-ABM/Pages/Board-of-Directors.aspx).

She was appointed Director of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights by Ronald Reagan and was later an immigration advisor to George W Bush in 2000. He selected her to head the Department of Labor in 2001, but she withdrew because, in her words, "a decade earlier I had taken into my home and given modest financial assistance to a battered and abused woman from Guatemala, who at the time was illegally living in the United States" (link).
