Cesar Chavez is now being used as the focus of a new campaign who's focus is on "fighting illegal immigration". There has been talk about legislation being proposed to honor his birthday on March 31 and call it National Border Security Day and the group who is advocating for legislation is the Center for Immigration Reform. Cesar Chavez was against using illegal labor in order to replace the current migrant workers just because they were trying to gain better working conditions and better wages. According to the article the push for National Border Security Day comes because many companies are pushing for H2A (temporary work visa for foreign agricultural workers with a job offer for seasonal agricultural work in the United States) visas for lower paying immigrant work.
