Great! All the people complaining about the strike are making a strong argument for increased immigration! Good on you!

I can tell that you think you are making a point. It’s cute!

However your point is a pro-union, not anti-immigration point. Guess you can’t see that.

“When it came to how the union was run and its immigration stands, no American union or labor leader embraced undocumented immigrants and immigration reform earlier and more consistency than the UFW and Cesar Chavez. “

Yes, as companies were bringing in undocumented workers with no market power who they could abuse. Aint capitalism grand!

Glad to see you are backing this strike 100%! That’s a refreshing change from you!

“Like every legitimate union and labor leader, the United Farm Workers and Cesar Chavez strongly opposed strikebreaking by anyone, no matter who they were or where they were from. Farm worker walkouts would have quickly been won in the fields if growers hadn’t recruited strikebreakers (or scabs) from outside their companies—and increasingly undocumented workers from outside the country—to take the jobs of striking field workers, forcing the UFW into bitter and protracted strikes and boycotts.”
