Cesar Chavez opposed illegal aliens because they drove wages down.

A lot of people don’t know that. While he was clearly a union guy, he was adamantly against illegal immigration and even let protests against it.

Ultimately, his effort to unionize the field workers, provide them with a safer work environment and better wages failed. The agriculture industry was able to import the greatest influx of illegal immigration during the 70s and 80s and wiped Chavez and crew off the map.
