It's already on the National Register of Historic Places:

In 2004, the National Chavez Center was opened on the UFW national headquarters campus in Keene by the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation. It currently consists of a visitor center, memorial garden and his grave site. When it is fully completed, the 187-acre (0.76 km2) site will include a museum and conference center to explore and share Chávez's work.[33] On September 14, 2011, the U.S. Department of the Interior added the 187 acres (76 ha) Nuestra Senora Reina de La Paz ranch to the National Register of Historic Places.[40]

Will it explore and share Chavez's work against illegal immigration???

Okay, I confess, I didn’t read...thought it said Che Guevarra!
Chavez was a damn site better. Still doesn’t deserve a freakin’ ‘national monument!’ The illegal alien drug cartels will just grow dope on it.

In fact, Obama is planning to disclose that he wasn't really born in Hawaii, but was born in San Antonio, delivered by a midwife in front of the Alamo. He learned to swim in the San Antonio River, taught by no less than Ricardo Montalban. His father wasn't named Barack, but Baracko. He learned to play the guitarron at an early age, and that his Mariachi group was called Me encantan todos los latinos por favor voten por mí, "I love all Latins please vote for me." And that he is planning to designate every house lived in by any Spanish surnamed person a national monument.

Chavez came to my high school for a rally in 1973. We were told there was a mandatory assembly in the gym. When we got there, the teachers seperated us by race. Whites on this side, and Chicano’s on the other side. Then Chevez came out and gave us all a speech encouraging us to all boycott lettuce. We all looked at each other and said WTF!

No kidding, I was there. I looked at my hispanic buddies I grew up with,sitting across the gym, and they were rolling their eyes...

Well, YOU remembered! And you’re probably not even
Hispanic!

[supremedoctrine]

Well, you shouldn’t have expected him to be Ralph Nader.

It's probably run down now, but in it's hey day, this place look like a lot of money had been poured into it....and it had.

These people threatened to to rape/beat up the wives and daughters of the farm workers to make them join their union. The workers themselves didn't want to join.

This is stupid but, it's Obama so what do we expect?
