,whereas ,cesar ,chavez was born on

which later became the ,united ,farm    
,workers1 to improve the wages and      
working conditions for ,american        
farmworkers2 ,whereas ,chavez's union   
drew on the imagery of civil rights to  
use nonviolence and mass mobilization to
 improve the conditions of persecuted   
and impoverished ,american workers2     
,whereas ,cesar ,chavez believed that   
preventing illegal immigration was an   
essential prerequisite to improving the 

circumstances of ,american farmworkers2 
,whereas1 in #aifi1 ,chavez led a march 
to the ,mexican border to protest       
illegal immigration1 joined by ,senator 
,walter ,mondale and ,martin ,luther    
,king's successor as head of the        
,southern ,christian ,leadership        
,conference1 ,ralph ,abernathy2 ,whereas
 ,chavez noted that it is almost        
impossible to start some effective      
program to get these people their jobs  
back from the braceros once employers   
replace them2 ,whereas1 in the #aigjs1  
,chavez combined a campaign of          
identifying and reporting illegal       
workers with a campaign to boycott      
nonunionized farms in order to protect  
the labor of the unionized ,american    
worker2 ,whereas ,chavez recognized that
 flooding the labor market with people  
from abroad undermines the unionized    
,american worker2 ,whereas1 in #aigi1 at
 the ,national ,press ,club1 ,chavez    
emphatically supported enforcement of   
immigration laws1 stating that people   

are being hurt and being destroyed1 and 
with the complicity and with the help1  
of the ,federal ,government2 and        
,whereas ,president ,clinton recognized 
,chavez's work saying1 ,we can be proud 
of his enormous accomplishments and in  
the dignity and comfort he brought to   
the lives of so many of our country's   
least powerful and most dispossessed    
workers3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that  
the ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7   
supports the designation of ,national   
,border ,control ,day2  7#b7 expresses  
strong support for ,cesar ,chavez's     
fight to defend the interests of the    
,american farmworkers1 and for his      
recognition that nonviolent action could
 protect these workers against the      
business interests which would replace  
them with illegal foreign labor2 and    
7#c7 encourages recognition and         
celebration of ,national ,border
