One in five workers in America wasn’t born here. Immigrants are vital to our communities, our economy and our labor movement. Stoking fear about immigrants, raiding schools and hospitals, and mass-deporting people is a betrayal of our values and a recipe for economic disaster.

Women have been leading in the labor movement from the very beginning. During #WomensHistoryMonth, America’s unions honor the trailblazing women who have always fought for workers’ rights, dignity and respect in the workplace, and are doing the work to stand up for workers today.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

We need a Labor Secretary who will be a champion of working families. We need a Labor Secretary who will raise the minimum wage and vigorously defend workers' right to bargain collectively. We need a Labor Secretary who has the courage to stand up to an anti-worker POTUS.

I work at Fox News because its critical that Americans hear opposing viewpoints about the critical issues in our public discourse. Right now, Trump voters are having buyer's remorse. Approval ratings are down. Constituents are fed up. It's just the beginning.
