Today’s Outrageous Outrage is Bogus
Right wing discovers long-established Labor Dept. policy on unauthorized workers
Right-wing media have denounced Labor Secretary Hilda Solis’ campaign informing vulnerable workers, including the undocumented, about the wage standards to which they are entitled.

Outrageous!
