Yesterday, Linda Chavez withdrew herself from consideration for the post of Secretary of Labor in George Bush’s cabinet. It was not her opposition to minimum wage increases, affirmative action, and union rights that sunk her nomination. Rather the fatal blow was her apparent compassion toward a few individual immigrants.
