[MCALLEN] - Two months after being appointed the new ambassador to the Dominican Republic, a Rio Grande Valley native is still waiting for his appointment to be approved. And a national Hispanic advocacy group has now come out urging the U-S Senate to speed up the confirmation of Raul Yzaguirre. Yzaguirre is a San Juan native and graduate of P-S-J-A High School who went on to found the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights organization. President Obama appointed Yzaguirre ambassador to the Dominican Republic in November. Hispanic advocates say politics is holding up his confirmation.
