Could you be mixing Linda Chavez-Thompson and Linda Chavez-Gerston?
I’m speaking of Linda Chavez-Gerston, who held some minor positions in the Reagan Administration. Whose nomination for Secretary of Labor under Dubya was derailed when her own illegal alien maid became known.
Linda Chavez and her protege over at NRO, John J Miller, have a long career of smearing anti-illegal alien activists. If you want amnesty and a bigger flood of illegal aliens, Linda Chavez is your gal. Don’t be fooled by her token pro-English language posturing.
