Thoughts on this??? The president, in an Oval Office interview with Univision, touts the United Farm Workers leader and casts himself as sympathetic to illegal migrants. A closer look at the record, however, shows Chavez backing the law-and-order approach of President Trump. DEAN KARAYANIS Sunday, April 14, 202407:30:00 am I need you badly, Mr. Biden told Hispanic voters last month at Phoenix. Given the opportunity to reach them, he showed the Univision anchor, Enrique Acevedo, a bust of farm union organizer Cesar Chavez. The president discussed the impact of his activism and noted that his granddaughter, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, is his reelection campaign manager. Mr. Biden told Univision he sympathized with those entering America because they have no alternatives. Chavez, a third-generation American and Navy veteran, took a harder line on those who broke the law one that demonstrates the folly of painting the entire Latino voting block as backing unlimited migration. In an excerpt of a 1974 interview unearthed by Fish Films Footage World, Chavez explained his opposition to unvetted people entering the country. His reasoning echoed another famed labor leader, Samuel Gompers, who was one of the loudest voices for The Immigration Act of 1924 which capped entry at two percent of each foreign countrys population. Illegal border crossers, Chavez said, were an emergency with an awful lot of illegals coming in by the hundreds, by the thousands. He lamented that some of the schools are 100 percent illegals, and the citizen is out of a job because of he wetback, a slur now considered offensive.
