The funny thing here, is that Cesar Chavez was *not* a big supporter of illegal aliens. In fact he was quite the opposite. Cesar Chavez came to prominence thru his efforts to unionize farm labor in California, regardless of ethnic origin. The farm owners fought back by importing large numbers of illegal immigrants and overwhelming the farm laborers with large numbers of people willing to work for nickels.

Most of those supporting efforts to put Mr. Chavez' name on everything see him as a champion of Hispanic immigrants. This is not necessarily true. Yes, farmworkers in California were largely Hispanic; but they were also largely legal US residents. These were the people for whom Cesar Chavez was working.

Not the "Reconquista's"

Not the illegals.

More.

OK, name it Jimmymc Blvd. It has a nice ring to it. And I have never killed any political opposites.
