The US Senate has confirmed Raul Yzaguirre of Maryland as Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the United States of America to the Dominican Republic.

He appeared at a confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on 11 March 2010, but his nomination was not confirmed until yesterday.

He is a former president of the National Council of La Raza, and was co-chair of Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign in 2007. He was born in 1939 to Mexican-American parents and raised in southern Texas. Yzaguirre has distinguished himself for his campaigns on behalf of illegal aliens in the US.
