Post to myself:
Cesar Chavez is an icon of the Farm Workers Labor movement for higher wages. Actually in his time he was very right. Those workers were paid poorly.
What most people do not know is Cesar Chavez was adamantly opposed to illegal aliens. He recognized they were an economic force that drove farm workers wages down.
It amuses me when I drive down Cesar Chavez street in Austin Texas. Austin is the heart of liberalism in Texas. I do not even consider it Texas. They honor a man that opposed illegals and Austin is a Sanctuary City. They do not even know what Cesar Chavez stood for. If they did they would change the name of the street.
He was an advocate for a farm worker's union and is the main reason why we have the United Farm Worker's union.
Two of the main parts of immigration reform is reforming the guest worker visas, H2A ag worker visa and H2B non-ag worker visa.
You need to understand the role of the United Farm workers union in reforming the H2A
Unions don't like guest workers and they don't like illegals because both are hard to organize. So the unions want lower quotas on guest workers visas and want higher quotas on legal permanent resident alien visas(green cards) and they want illegals to be amnestied onto the path to citizenship.
The GOP wants higher quotas on guest workers and lower quotas on legal permanent resident aliens(green cards) and they want amnesty to guest worker.
The GOP is in a weak negotiating position with the unions/dems because many republican voters are immigration hawks opposed to higher quotas on both temporary guest worker visas and permanent visas, plus, they are opposed to both amnesty onto the path and amnesty to guest workers.
