ALT From LA Times article: Cesar Chavez Legacy: From ‘Wet Lines’ To An ‘Illegals Campaign,' A Dark Side In Latino Icon’s Opposition To Undocumented Immigrants "There was also the Illegals Campaign, a central piece of strategy which saw the UFW direct members to report the presence of undocumented immigrants in the fields and turn them in to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the agency which preceded Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In East Fresno alone, Cesar bragged in 1974, twenty-two hundred undocumented workers had been identified through the Campaign. Michael Harpold, who spent 35 years patrolling the border with the INS, says he remembers meeting Chávez in 1965 near Delano, California. “He explained that the growers would break his striking union if we did not prevent them from hiring illegals; he would provide us carefully screened information to act on.”
ALT From The Union of Their Dreams: "Chris spent hours talking to Smith and methodically followed a trail of clues, interviewing everyone who might help piece together the puzzle of why a mid-western kid who wanted nothing more than to work for the union the rest of his life had been cast out as a spy. A theory emerged. Smith had worked in Chicago with a volunteer who had accused a farmworker of trying to rape her during a driving lesson. She and Smith were friends. She ended up in California and had recently worked at the union clinic in Delano. On September 10, Chavez accused her of being a spy for either the CIA or the Communists and said her false accusation had ruined a farmworker's life. When she burst into tears, he viewed that as clear proof of her guilt. Smith gave her a ride to the Bakersfield bus station. Then he went to see Chavez to plead her case. A few days later Chavez launched into his critical review of the newspaper and turned on Smith"
