This Cesar Chavez?

Chavez increasingly blamed the failure of the UFW strike on illegal immigrants who were brought in as strikebreakers.[240] He made the unsubstantiated claim that the CIA was involved in part of a conspiracy to bring illegal migrants into the country so that they could undermine his union.[241] He launched the "Illegals Campaign" to identify illegal migrants so that they could be deported, appointing Liza Hirsch to oversee the campaign.[240][242] In Chavez's view, "if we can get the illegals out of California, we will win the strike overnight."[243] Huerta urged him not to refer to migrants who had come to the U.S. illegally as "illegals" but Chavez refused, stating: "a spade's a spade."[243] Some UFW field offices refused to collaborate with the campaign,[243] and the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) refused to allow its interns to work on it, at which Chavez cut the UFW's links with the NLG.[243]

Wow. Sounds like Trump doesn't he?
And this is the guy Biden puts a bust of on his mantle?
Somebody better tell Joe what Chavez thought of "noncitizens" trying to come to the United States...he really, REALLY didn't like them.

While Chavez had been in Europe, his cousin Manuel Chavez had established a UFW patrol, or "wet line", along Arizona's border with Mexico to stop illegal migrants crossing into the United States.[245] There were rumors that this patrol was employing violence against these migrants, beating and robbing them and in one case castrating a man. These allegations soon appeared in the local press.[246] A Mexican investigation determined that the UFW had bribed San Luis city officials to prevent them from interfering in these activities along the border.[247] A Mexican union, the Confederation of Mexican Workers, broke its links with the UFW over the issue.[248] Chavez dismissed the reports of violence as the smears of paid provocateurs,[240] a claim which many of his supporters accepted.[249] Chavez protected Manuel,[250] while the executive board kept silent on his activities, regarding him as useful.[251] The Chicano activist Bert Corona staged a protest against the UFW wet line, at which Chavez directed Jerry Cohen to launch an investigation into the funding of Corona's group.[243]
