	Bestselling author Michael Fumento reports: "Leaders & Success — Linda Chavez."
		Chavez, 44, was born in Albuquerque, N.M., to working-class parents.
		While Chavez acknowledges that being a female of Hispanic descent has been a boon in getting her recognition from conservatives, she says it is a double-edged sword in that it infuriates liberal Hispanics who feel she has betrayed them.
		Chavez feels it was the same sort of attitude that led many liberals to oppose Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court — and sparked the desperate, 11th-hour attempt to derail him.

	American Politics Journal -- Linda Chavez' Tangled Web
		Chavez, known for her hostility to organized labor, feminism and the minimum wage, broke the law by harboring a known illegal alien in her house, apparently in exchange for domestic servitude (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/DailyNews/chavez010107.html).
		Chavez claimed that she had 'suspected', but did not know for certain, that her Guatemalan guest was in fact an illegal alien -- but the lady herself, in interviews with the FBI and with ABC News, said that she herself told Chavez she was in the U.S. illegally!
		Chavez may well consider herself lucky if she escapes a jail term for having broken the very laws she was appointed to uphold.
