Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera praised in US Congress

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera has been praised in the US House of Representatives after winning a Golden Globe award on Monday.

Congresswoman Hilda L Solis from California praised America - the daughter of Honduran immigrants - for helping raise the profile of the Hispanic community.

Solis took to the floor of the House on Wednesday to say: “Madame Speaker, I rise today to congratulate American Ferrera for winning the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy for her work in Abc show Ugly Betty.

“Through her work, Ms Ferrera is breaking down barriers for Latinos in prime-time television.”

“I commend America and everyone involved in Ugly Betty for helping to break down stereotypes and provide a role model for young Latinas.”

Yeah, for America - the woman.
Not-so-much-Yeah for America - the nation. As if congress has nothing better to do with their time then salute random celebrities? If the congress really gave a rats a*s about the Latino community they’d do more about the plight of illegal immigrants, improve access to healthcare, and start offering government service in Spanish and English. Just a thought.
