The most dishonest aspect of the illegal immigration problem is to overlook the fact that there are members of the US Chamber of Commerce that rely on illegal immigrants for their work force. We think it is the guile of individuals jumping the border when they are actually drawn in. There are between ten and twenty million undocumented immigrants in the United States and they are here because US Business WANTS them here. Some American businesses factor the use of undocumented aliens into their business model. Lest we forget, that one of Cesar Chavez's big fights as head of UFW was against farm owners who undercut employing Hispanic-Americans in agriculture in favor of illegals.
"The UFW during Chávez's tenure was committed to restricting immigration. César Chávez and Dolores Huerta fought the Bracero Program that existed from 1942 to 1964. Their opposition stemmed from their belief that the program undermined US workers and exploited the migrant workers. Their efforts contributed to Congress ending the Bracero Program in 1964. In 1973, the UFW was one of the first labor unions to oppose proposed employer sanctions that would have prohibited hiring undocumented immigrants
