Report: Labor Nominee Chavez Housed Illegal Alien
Linda Chavez, President-elect George W. Bush's nominee for labor
secretary, allowed a Guatemalan woman who was in the United States
illegally to live in her home and gave the woman spending money, ABC
reported January 7, 2001. The television report quoted Chavez as saying
through a Bush spokesman that the woman did odd jobs around her home and
was occasionally given spending money, although Chavez did not consider
the money as compensation for work. Chavez is seen speaking to the press
following her nomination January 2 in Austin. (Jeff Mitchell/Reuters)

This is a form of slavery that is widespread in the United States.
