Cesar Chavez was opposed to illegal aliens....to protect his labor union. He felt that illegals undermined his union and yet he remains a "hero". Cesar Chavez was a politico who was loyal to his union....applaudable. He did not welcome illegals who might take the jobs of his union.

Great picture of a great man. But, like many other "heros" of America, the pundits will be dragging him through the muck before too long.

President Obama made comments today that he would continue the sanctions or reinforce the sanctions against Iran because the US doesn't need Iranian oil and US allies are not dependent on Iran. This reflects a shift to Libyan oil for the US and its allies. Will Obama say this....NO! His life is manipulation, smoke and mirrors and bullshit. So, what new pressure will he seek against Iran. Not that they are good guys...but Libyan oil gives him new "power".

This man's image hasn't aged very well. I have read what the commentator above said about his treatment of illegal aliens in the Atlantic Monthly magazine and other places. In addition, as he consolidated his power, bolstered by the support of northern college students and other whites liberals, he began to hoard union assets for himself, and forced those close to him out of the UFL who opposed him. While he may have begun as a pretty nice guy, he changed and evolved into something just short of a monster. Texas farm workers began to chasten over his neglect of their interests, and his arrogant, dismissive attitude toward them, and as a result, created the TFW union.

Cesar Chavez was just a human being and therefore neither all hero or all bad. Like all of us, he was some of both. But, when it is all said and done, he did some very significant things and made a positive contribution to this country.Far more than any of us will make.

When I asked Ramsey how he knew Cesar Chavez, his memories brought to mind the time that he was scheduled in Ft. Worth, Texas. He shared the following account.

My memories bring to mind Joe Puente, who was Chairperson of La Raza Unida Party in Ft. Worth, Texas. During those days I would travel to Ft. Worth and Dallas, Texas to assist in organizing the party and tend to other issues that were pending.

Joe Puente advised me that Cesar Chavez had accepted an invitation to speak at a neighborhood Catholic Church. He felt that there were not enough of our people present since the media was scheduled to be there.

I immediately called a neighborhood meeting and advised those who wish to meet Cesar Chavez that I would lease a Greyhound bus to take people to the church. Needless to say, there was only standing room on the bus.

When we arrived in Ft. Worth, the bus driver, who was a Hispanic, pulled out a city map to locate the Latino neighborhood. You can imagine the local media’s reaction when they witnessed a huge greyhound bus full of Hispanics, Latinos, and Chicanos that had come all the way from Waco and Temple, Texas. The church was filled to capacity.

When I spoke with Cesar Chavez, he was so weak because he had just finished a six month fast in protest of laws against organizing the farmer workers union. I got on one knee and began speaking to him, sharing how proud I was to be associated with him because of what he had done for the lives of our people. He always spoke of freedom and justice, and he spoke a lot about love. He always mentioned that it was in the hands of God, but that God gave us the pride and the love to bring freedom into our lives.

I will never ever forget this man, and I know that in his heart he is praying for me this very minute because Cesar Chavez is not dead. He is very much alive and if some doubt my words of spiritual wisdom, come and visit me and you will know.

Speaking at the Southern Baptist church in Florida, the Reverend Jesse Jackson asked, “How do turn pain and suffering into power?” I have known about pain and suffering for the last twenty years of this inhumane imprisonment, seeking the power of freedom, justice, and love that have now become a part of my present surviving life.

Amor,

To us, the mexican-American war heros, mexico is nothing but a humiliating embarrassment. Even my mother,who was born there, would be embarrassed.

To Dag Barrera
When you fight for the country you were born in, you are a true patriot, but when you go to war and kill for a country you were not born into you are a paid assasin-a mercenary, a killer for hire. And guess what most north americans born to americams still see you as a spic. So shove your adopted flag up your fucking dark ass and stop vilefing your ancestrial homeland - you beaner.
