In one of the most shocking hypocrisies of Obama’s tenure, he actually proclaimed that Cesar Chavez’ birthday be celebrated to honor a man who was vehemently against illegal immigrants! Who was that man? Cesar Chavez!
Let me explain. Cesar Chavez is lauded by the left for organizing farm-workers in order to improve their work environment. Because so many of these workers were Hispanic, many take him up as an inspiring leader for Hispanic causes. But this is problematic for Obama in attempting to co-opt Chavez’ iconic status because while he’s pressing for “comprehensive immigration reform” that would normalize many illegal immigrants. And Chavez had a very strong dislike for illegal immigrants.

The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) recently issued a statement urging Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

It is especially fond of a major component — a pathway to earned legal status for illegal immigrants if they make amends for the infraction of entering the country illegally by meeting certain conditions.

What was unusual was the marketing behind the plea. The statement came on March 31, and the organization urged that Congress pass comprehensive immigration reform “in recognition of the birthday of the late civil rights leader Cesar Chavez.”
