One word: Pandering

I bet Biden has no idea that Chavez and his brother used to stake out the border and beat with baseball bats any illegals they encountered. The “woke” leftists in recent years have tried to turn Cesar Chavez into some kind of hero of illegal immigration, but he hated it because it was competition for his farm workers union. In fact, he used to hand out dimes to the unionized field workers so that they could call him if they saw illegals working anywhere.

I’ve also been amazed (though I guess in hindsight I shouldn’t have been) that Republicans have not made a huge issue of Chavez’s opposition to illegal immigration. The Left would lose their minds trying to square their worship of him with their support of the illegal invasion. But given what we’ve seen lately of Republican cowardice, I suspect they just let it go because they were terrified of being called a name.

Biden is simply an avatar (a “useful idiot “ for Obama 3.0). Cesar Chavez was vehemently anti-immigration, both revered and reviled and his methods criminal. This administration’s “woke” staff are quite clueless. We are being governed by a bunch of fools and freaks in Congress “dumb like a fox”.
