I remember hearing RFK was a huge supporter of Cesar Chavez too.
At least Cesar Chavez was against illegal immigration.
Other than Governor Reagan havimg somewhat of a public feud with Cesar SChavez, he wasn't a bad person. Farm laborers were exploited and ill-treated. I worked as a farm laborer from time to time as I was going to school instead of borrowing student loans. Late 70's, early 80's. Tomato harvesters, picking prunes of the ground, walnuts, irrigating sugar beets and row crops. I was the only white guy among the Mexicans and East Indians. They worked hard, 12 hour shifts, minimum wage, hot sun, portable toilets, not at all pleasant. But they were good people, they would share food with me. I admit my pot and beer habits sometimes left me broke, but Javier gave me half of his sandwich. It was all I ate that day. Chavez worke to get these people rights to be treated at least decently. Maybe salad and canned peaches would be more expensive,
