Who exactly does Gloria Molina work for?

I'm left wondering after reading the article "Supervisors tangle over ID card fraud":
That post also contains the following:
And, for a blast from Molina's past, here's part of a speech from 1996:
It's extraordinarily rich - to say the least - that Molina would seek to make something about Antonovich possessing a card someone else sent him when her rules will allow thousands of illegal aliens to live and work in L.A. County just as if they were here legally.
Is Molina confused over which country she's working for?
In a rare dramatic exchange between Los Angeles County supervisors, board Chairwoman Gloria Molina said Tuesday she was insulted by a colleague's contention that matricula consular cards can be misused for fraudulent or even terrorist purposes...As detailed in "Their money or your safety" whether someone is here legally or illegally is of no interest when they apply for a Matricula Consular card.
[...Supervisor Mike Antonovich wants to rescind acceptance of the cards...]
"I find it personally insulting that Supervisor Antonovich wants to load this issue up with every ill and problem in our society," Molina said. "There is no doubt, I know, that you find this as an opportunity to pounce on certain individuals."
Molina also accused Antonovich of violating the law by possessing a fraudulent ID issued by the Mexican consulate...
...The board defeated Antonovich's motion, voting instead to continue accepting the cards at libraries, health clinics and other county facilities. The motion also calls on the county to train its employees to recognize fraudulent cards...
That post also contains the following:
Last June, before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Steve McCraw, assistant director of the FBI's Office of Intelligence, said that the bureau and the Justice Department have concluded that the card is not a reliable means of identification. McCraw warned that the "ability of foreign nationals to use the matricula consular to create a well-documented, but fictitious, identity in the United States provides an opportunity for terrorists to move freely in the United States without triggering name-based watch lists that are disseminated to local police officers. It also allows them to board planes without revealing their true identity."Note that that excerpt is from the same paper that published the current article.
And, for a blast from Molina's past, here's part of a speech from 1996:
...Because tonight we are organizing across this country in a single mission, in a plan. We're going to organize like we've never organized before... we are politicizing every single one of those new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country.There's much more information about her at the last link.
And what we are saying is by November we will have one million additional Latino voters in this country, and we are going to march... And our vote is going to be important. But I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, 'I'm going to go out there and vote because I want to PAY THEM BACK!'...
It's extraordinarily rich - to say the least - that Molina would seek to make something about Antonovich possessing a card someone else sent him when her rules will allow thousands of illegal aliens to live and work in L.A. County just as if they were here legally.
