Using primary documentation, Cesar Chavez's actions to reduce illegal immigration are detailed, because illegal immigration undermined efforts to help migrant farmworkers better pay and better working conditions.
Most students (and teachers) do not know that Cesar Chavez was against open border immigration and he acted on behalf of citizen migrant workers, not illegal immigrants.
Every Cinco de Mayo when some Hispanic students threatened walkouts based on illegal immigrant rights, students were enlightened through documents of Cesar Chavez's agitation to control the borders, because only when illegal immigration was controlled would citizen migrant workers be able to unionize for better pay and working conditions.
