What a blockbuster summer for politically correct videos! First Heidi Beirich’s smash debut exposed the eeeevil motives of border security activists. Now, the Southern Poverty Law Center will release yet another video epic, this time on Cesar Chavez, who worked to better the working conditions and pay of Mexican farmworkers:
In September, SPLC’s Teaching Tolerance program will unveil a new documentary film and teaching kit, Viva la Causa!, that focuses on one of the seminal events in the march for human rights — the grape strike and boycott led by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in the 1960s. …
The new documentary film will chronicle how Chavez, Huerta and their colleagues, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., created a mass movement to improve the lives of some of the most exploited people in the country — farmworkers who labored for meager wages under appalling conditions in the fields of California. Chavez and Huerta guided a non-violent strike for fair wages that became a movement for social justice.
No doubt Cesar Chavez did indeed improve the lot of Mexican-American farm laborers. But how did he do it? Brace yourselves — he improved their wages and working conditions by stopping the flow of cheap labor from illegal immigration. As VDARE has noted:
Cesar Chavez, a labor leader intent on protecting union membership, was as effective a surrogate for the INS as ever existed. Indeed, Chavez and the United Farm Workers Union he headed routinely reported, to the INS, for deportation, suspected illegal immigrants who served as strikebreakers or refused to unionize.
Another fine mess! Up to now, the SPLC party line was that illegal immigration does not lower wage levels for native-born Americans. Double oopsies!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER:
Oh, and if you act now, donors who give $100.00 or more to this project celebrating the most famous Mexican-American immigration restrictionist will get their names listed in the credits.

The SPLC has gone from neo-Marxist (Frankfurt School PC) to outright Marxist. Cesar Chavez? Good grief!

It’s fascinating to understand the meaning of “War makes for strange bedfellows.”……..Chavez was all about collective bargaining, maintaining a fair wage for his union members, and protecting their jobs and lifestyle.(Sure it’s a bit Marxist, but he was protecting U.S. Citizens and LEGAL immigrants.)…….It was an enormous Industry that he was organizing, not that much different than the coal miners of Virginia and Steel workers of Pennsylvania.(Ever wondered where the Russian Orthodox Churches in mining camps came from?)
So, he worked WITH Immigration Officials to help DEPORT the ILLEGALS that were crossing the picket lines and being hired by the strike buster Corporations that prefered HIGHER PROFITS with illegal labor, rather than pay a fair wage.
These EARLY GLOBALSTS were what has now evolved into huge monopolististic corporations like Archer Midland Daniels that have no loyalty to the U.S. and market their groceries all over the world with stockholders of every Nationality…………No different than Tyson Chicken opperating now with illegal alliens, and the BLESSINGS of Governor Mike Huckabee in Arkansas.(He loved his doner’s illegal labor.)
When your JOB has been lost to illegal alliens, shipped offshore, and you virtually watch the Globalist of Wall Street make trillions of dollars by auctioning your NATION off to the Highest Bidder, while giving some CEO a $5 million dollar bonus, YOU WILL JOIN RANKS WITH A MARXIST! Political Philosophy becomes BS when your losing it all. (Just as Patriotism for the CEO became BS when he saw millions on the table!)

PS: Enjoy your Budweiser Beer now owned by a Belgium Corporation. While sitting in the cheap seats at Yankee Stadium, look back at the box seats where the stockholders sit in air conditioning, laughing at your “sweaty ass” ordering another Bud………..:)
