Yes. Illegal immigration is war.
Btw, non-union field laborers in 1960’s CA were overwhelmingly illegals. We all know that. Stop playing dumb.
I've no idea what the broad practice in California was, but I recall my client remarking that he contracted for braceros to harvest his grapes -- which I understood was legal.
He also observed that the braceros were increasingly difficult to employ, because they were afraid of retaliation by Chavez' thugs.
