Was Cesar Chavez a racist? I am tired of hearing that those opposed to illegal immigration  are racist.Was he?

Mr. Chavez was opposed to illegal immigration as many of us are today.  He will never be labled a racist; but we will because it suits the political opposition and they rally thousands to their cause by saying so.  Sadly Mr. Chavez was quite a racist individual when it came to young white men, which I was when I met him.  He didn't like me and I didn't care for him, but his workers we're among the hardest working my father employed.

how can there be so much hate in one group of people. There may have been a group deportation or mass but not to the extent of the amount of people we a re talking about now. It won't happen it can't happen the amount of money you all a re whining about it costing you in illegal support will continue to come out of your pocket even if there were no illegal aliens. Why? because the government needs the money that money has been decided or the amount and when that is capped out there will be another issue brought up in Congress's next episode of complaints.

Hm.  An illegal immigrant who speaks pretty good English and is self-employed vs. a fascist McCarthy-wannabe.  Who would you like deported?  The person who assimilated well to America, or the reactionary lunatic who prefers to steer America in the direction of vigilantism?\n\n-----\n\nHey, furnace: people can think that illegal immigrants should be deported and at the same time think that it is utterly inappropriate to cultivate a culture of vigilantism.  Citizens reporting other citizens to Big Brother?  Sounds just like the Communist Soviet Union to me.  It's disgraceful and stupid.  No, it isn't racist (necessarily), but it is absolutely fascistic.

I agree with you but looking back at the answers you have recieved I cant believe that people dont think that the minuite men are not racist. Hello they are targeting a single group of people. You may say no to that, they are against illegal immigration, but then why arent they building walls or taking stands in other areas that we see as a place for immigrants to enter this country? It is targeted at the Mexican border, so yes they are racist. About La Raza, I cant say for sure what you are talking about so I cant agree with you on that. Can you please tell us what group they are and what they are doing??

JD, the left-wing activist are working very hard to make it a racial slur.  I don't know where you live, but here in Dallas, I listen to KLIF radio.  Gregg Knapp had Domingo Garcia, who is activist in the boycott and is currently representing an illegal immigrant who was arrasted by the cops.  You HAVE to listen to this podcast to see the flagrant attempt by Garcia to equate illegal alien to the N-word.  It is incredible.

-- Antonio Villaraigosa \nMayor- Los Angeles, California-"ELECTED" by the VOTES of ILLEGAL ALIENS - \n Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws - \n Villaraigosa Proclaimed, and I Quote \n"This bill in Congress is wrong. The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." \nYeah!!! He Actually said that. \nPeople should make No Mistake about it -Villaraigosa's Allegiance is to Mexico, NOT California or These United States of America.                                  http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/Villy-Treasonous-Mayor.htmlhttp://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1281\n\nSenor Villaraigosa is A Member Of  "MEChA"  and  " LA RAZA"\n\n -- Mario Obledo \nMexican American Legal Defense Fund Founder - \nFormer California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown - \nAwarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton - \nIs Quoted \n “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.  People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1173\n\nSenor Obledo Is A Member Of "MEChA" And "LA RAZA" \n\nA leading Aztlan group is the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, known by its Spanish acronym MEChA. \n\nLike many other Hispanic groups,MEChA came out of the "Brown Power" movement of the late '60s. Its founding motto was, \n"For those in the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing." \n\nCloser to the mainstream is the Aztlan movement, \nwhich claims Aztec and Spanish ancestry and wants only the western half of the U.S. for      "LA RAZA  de Bronze." \n\nMEChA and the LA RAZA movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- A fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. \nAs such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\nThe Council of LA RAZA succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, (supposedly for "housing reform,") while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and AMNESTY for ILLEGAL ALIENS \nhttp://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13863\n\n-- Angel Gutierrez, \nProfessor, University of Texas, Arlington- \nFounder of the La Raza Unida political party - \n"We have an aging white America.  They are not making babies.  They are dying.  The explosion is in our population . . .They are shitting in their pants with fear...I love it. We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him."  \n\n-- Art Torres \nCalifornia Democratic Party chairman - \nAt the Latino Summit in Response to Prop 187 at U.C. Riverside (Jan. 14, 1995): \n"Power is not given to you, you have to take it! People say to me when I was on the Senate floor, when I was in the Senate, ' Why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs? ' And I tell my white colleagues: because you're gonna need them. Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white America"\n\n-- Jose Baca \nCalifornia State Senator - \nIs Quoted 'THE LATINO's ARE COMING, THE LATINO's ARE COMING", Mocking The  American Revolutionary Paul Revere- \n\nYou Can Hear These Words For Yours

Damn b, you said a mouthful you good? Just read your whole question and is seems that you have a personal vendetta with one of the yahoo! visitors and no doubt the way you were using that racist slur that he was Mexican. I'm not racist, but I agree that he should not should not have posted that on the site. Man I wish somebody would come and try to take my freedom especially from someone who is only brave enough to post his question on the Internet. I'm very proud of America I love it, and I admire and respect the way you defended your country. Good luck with that ass kicking you want to dish out.

Is Hispanic friends supposed to mean illegal immigrant friends?  I have a bunch of Hispanic friends. However, most Hispanics are here legally and most Hispanics are opposed to illegal immigration.\n\nIf I have any illegal immigrant friends, I am unaware of it.  \n\nI support legalization of qualified illegal immigrants who have real roots here.  I don't think it is fair to those who have been waiting.  However, after so many years of not enforcing the law and letting them get their roots so deep into this country, I would just feel bad deporting them.  \n\nI am not so sure about the way the guest worker program for future immigrants is shaping up on the Senate floor however.  They are billed by Bush as temporary, but the Senate is saying they (the ones yet to come under an increase in legal immigration rate) can become permanent residents with a path to citizenship.  I don't think that is good for anyone here, including most particularly the Hispanics or others performing low wage jobs.  There will be a perpetual 'race to the bottom' for wage levels, in my opinion.

The idiots who have answered this question so far are obviously ASSUMING by your name that you are not an American citizen.  Their racism is showing, no?  Dear friends, this man is an American citizen.  Want to maybe rethink your answers now?\n\nDear sweet Mimi, and the Titanic was unsinkable, right?  And the earth was flat.  Racists have never won in this country.  You will be the ones shunned when we get through this current new politically correct wave of racism and everyone starts recognizing Hispanics as the human beings that they are and allowing them their God-given rights as such.  God didn't put a better soul in you because of the WHITE packaging.  Sorry to burst your bubble!\n\nWHEN amnesty and/or the Guest Worker Program goes into effect I think the Minutemen will run like the lily-livered cowards that they really are.  How much courage does it take to stand at a border heavily armed and face unarmed desperate men, some of whom are on the verge of death from their journey and act like God?  What heroes!

My Grandparents came here around the 1912 or so.If you deleted anything concerning Illegal Immigration because of some misguided ideology that smells of media censorship. I broke no rules.What I have to say is for the access of anyone to use or not.This is not a private forum.Is it that you are feeling the heat because I tell the truth.Listen what I have said or not said is not the issue.We need to make people aware of certain questionable actions or half truths.This is one of last forums that host freedom of thought.Please tell me what was so offense that it caught your attention!

Listen, you ignorant person. \n\nNobody is against IMMIGRATION. Its ILLEGAL immigration thats the problem. And everybody should be upset about it, not just Republican and Democrats. To say thats racist is absurd, ignorant and morally dishonest.

Now heres the real deal its called overcrowding and if u don't know how it works think about this. Get a male and female rabbitt, provide everything they need to thrive and call me in a year or two. Guess what? you HAVE TO kill'em,or get'em fixed or yor overran with rabbitts you CAN'T AFFORD!they destroyed their country and this ones next people,they have taken ALL blue-collar jobs and by under-cutting their asking wage and sheer weight of numbers have ruined what until recently was a decent paying field.I know'em, I speak their language,hell,i was married to one, they will rent a 1 bdroom apt and go 10 deep, splitting the rent 10 ways, they dont pay taxes or use their real names and worst of all they send their money home to mexico and after they've sucked up all they can over here they go back home.AND DO NOT cry to me about their only trying to make a living for their family! BULL#@*T!They  being catholic dont use birth control and the average mexican has 7-10 brothers and sisters. What type of idiot lives in acardboard box and keeps knockin his wife up???? if you cant support yourself QUIT HAVING BABIES!!!

I Am NOT A HATER\nNor Am I ANTI LATIN COMMUNITY\nAnd I DO BELIEVE That ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL\nAnd EVERYONE Deserves EQUAL RIGHTS\nBut I Am Sitting Here At This Moment Watching GWB Fumble Over His Own Words Tryin To Justify\nILLEGAL Aliens In Our Country...He Said That Our Workforce Needs These Laborers..And Then He Said    \n\n    "We Must Make Employers Accountable For Hiring Illegals Instead Of Citizens"\n\n  And I Thought That If He Did That ^ Then HE Would Hafta Be Accountable Too, Cause We ALL KNOW That This POS Has Got A WHOLE GANG OF ILLEGALS Workin On His Ranch In Crawford Texas..\n\n  He Is Trapping Himself Between A Rock And A Hard Place   Cause If He Lets The WHOLE GANG GO..They MIGHT Blow The Whistle On Him\n\nAnd If He Dont   He Stands A Chance Of Gettin BUSTED As An EMPLOYER Of An ILLEGAL Workforce \n\n If Congress were to pass a law that said, quite simply, that the CEO of any business that was caught employing illegal immigrants went to jail for a year - no exceptions -then within a month there would be ten million (more or less) people lined up at the Mexican border trying\nto get out of the United States. \n\nThe US unemployment rate would drop close to zero, and \nwages would begin to rise. The American middle class would begin to return to viability, as would the union movement in this nation.\n\n As I Watch Him Paint Himself Into This  Corner I Cant Help But LMFAO But At The Same Time It Makes Me \n\n        MAD AS HELL And Im NOT Gonna Take It Anymore\n\nILLEGAL ALIENS  Of ANY RACE/Nationality Are A Tremendous Burden On The Hardworking , Taxpaying CITIZENS  Of Our Nation \n\n They MAY/MIGHT Work.. But Many Do Not And Contribute To The Already High Crime In Our Country And IF They Are Criminally Prosecuted, It Is YOU The TAXPAYER That \nSupports The Heavily Burdened Judicial System And YOU The TAXPAYER That SupportsThe Criminal In A Prison\n\n \nILLEGAL ALIENS OF ANY RACE/Nationality Also Contribute To The High Cost Of HEALTH CARE Because They Have No INSURANCE And Its YOU The TAXPAYER That Supports The System That Governs The Health And WELFARE That Many ILLEGAL ALIENS Take\nAdvantage Of Through Their(Possibly)Legal COUSINS Who MAY Or May NOT Be Citizens Of The US(ILLEGAL ALIENS Forge Documents Too...NoBody Said These People AreSTUPID...) But They ARE NOT CITIZENS And WE THE PEOPLE Should NOT Be Made To SUPPORT \n\n (This Is A MAJOR CONRIBUTION To YOUR EXTREMELY HIGH HEALTH INSURANCE RATES Folks)\n\n ILLEGAL ALIENS Of ANY RACE/Nationality Are A Burden  To OUR (AMERICAN)Education System By OVERCROWDING Classrooms,And Making It Virtually Impossible For(Underpaid) Teachers To Give The Neccessary Time And Attention To The Individual Students\n\n Legal immigration is a good and healthy thing for a nation, because it is done at a rate and in a way that allows a country to collectively decide what sort of labor/jobs ratios it wants to maintain. Limitless illegal immigration, however, leads to the modern-day equivalent of \nslavery, benefiting only the conservative corporate elites. \n\nThe pro-illegal immigrant crowd tells us that we need to be humane in our handling of illegal immigrants. These are people that violate American law only because they are looking to make better lives for themselves and their families. They tell us that these are people living in poverty with no way out. They come here to live the American dream, and they violate our laws to do so.\n\nWe're also told that these immigrants are simply doing the jobs that Americans won't do. If there were no jobs of this type, there would be no motivation to enter the country illegally. Basically, if there was no market for illegal immigrants, there would be no illegal immigrants. We have to try to empathize with those that are simply trying to make a living for themselves and their families. We need to be understanding and humane when dealing with a population at finds itself in a situation where it must break our laws to better
