My guess.

Modern day farm workers are the slaves of today, so apparently its a tribute to them. I guess Biden could have put an original slave farm worker bust from the 19th century in the oval office as a tribute to their off spring, who were fooled into voting for the slavery supporting Democrat party once again, but that would seem a bit crass.

Do they know that Chavez vehemently opposed illegal immigration, because of the downward pressure on wages?

Illegal Immigration only creates a permanent underclass, Democrats only care about their votes, and Repukes only want the cheap labor.

Caesar Chavez was for tight border canto and hated illegal immigration.
Chavez increasingly blamed the failure of the UFW strike on illegal immigrants who were brought in as strikebreakers.[241] He made the unsubstantiated claim that the CIA was involved in part of a conspiracy to bring illegal migrants into the country so that they could undermine his union.[242] He launched the "Illegals Campaign" to identify illegal migrants so that they could be deported, appointing Liza Hirsch to oversee the campaign.[241][243] In Chavez's view, "if we can get the illegals out of California, we will win the strike overnight."[244] Huerta urged him not to refer to migrants who had come to the U.S. illegally as "illegals" but Chavez refused, stating: "a spade's a spade."[244] Some UFW field offices refused to collaborate with the campaign,[244] and the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) refused to allow its interns to work on it, at which Chavez cut the UFW's links with the NLG.[244]
