How Cesar Chavez Feels Everytime he's Called an Anti-Immigrant

The waterfall flows from its precipice,
a bird stretching its talons oversees,
enormous wings and eyes as majestic,
as when justice long delayed first flies free.

~I've got an important question, y'all.
But before I ask it I want to warn
you it's just a little political.
So here it goes: what would Cesar

Chavez think today? What would Chavez do
if he heard what some dudes say about him?
I hope he starts by correcting Stavans,
Minutemen and the others who argue

Cesar Chavez was anti-Immigrant.
What can we do? That's just Low & unTrue.

by worker's exploitation? No they Din't!

Please remember F*I*S*H*E*S
