Mr. President, later this afternoon the Senate will
vote on the President's nomination of Alexander Acosta to serve as the
U.S. Secretary of Labor. Mr. Acosta has excellent credentials and is
well qualified for the position. He understands that a good-paying job
is critical to helping workers realize the American dream for
themselves and for their families. After immigrating to the United States from Cuba, Mr. Acosta's
parents worked hard to create more opportunities for their son. Alexander Acosta became the first person in his family to go to
college, and from there he has had quite an impressive career.
