President Obama’s pick for secretary of labor, Rep. Hilda Solis, could help shape a new approach to immigration control that emphasizes the robust enforcement of labor laws. … Immigrant advocates hope that strengthening compliance with workplace health and safety laws and wage and hour standards – which Solis promised in her hearing before the labor committee in January – will protect workers in general and could reduce the likelihood that some employers will seek to profit by hiring undocumented workers.http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/02/03/MNEK15JSM9.DTLBy Tyche Hendricks — San Francisco Chronicle
