Everyone knows what Cesar Chavez' opinion was on illegal aliens: that they drive down wages of legal workers. Recent history is littered with misleading narratives about his career, attempting to send his actual convictions down the Memory Hole. Very Orwellian. Your attempts to rewrite history and distort his work are pathetic.

Yup. César Chávez did speak out against undocumented workers in the ’60s. He worried growers were using them to break strikes and undercut wages. What you’re leaving out is the rest of the story: his views changed. But that’s beside the point. I’m not making claims about Chávez’s immigration stance here. I’m citing his belief that work itself is sacred.
