Thread: San Francisco: March for immigration reform

March for immigration reform

Last Update: 7:16 pm

The leaders of the United Farm Workers union got the large crowd revved up, as did San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who helped lead the march.

More than one thousand people waving red and American flags gathered in Delano Sunday afternoon at Cesar Chavez park to commemorate the late UFW founder's birthday.

While they rally had the traditional theme of improving farmworkers’ rights, this year, the main focus was immigration reform.

“These workers that have worked 450 days in the two previous years prior to the signing of the legislation will receive some kind of legal status, temporary legal status, so they can work in agriculture for three to six years,â€

What are they going to use to prove the 450 days. For a lot of temporarily employed people proving 250 days would be hard enough. I bet they get a free pass.

Do these people realize Cesar Chavez was against illegal immigration because it hurt the workers? Guess people count on no one reading history anymore in more ways than one.

No they don't realize it. Chavez even called the authorities to have illegals deported.
