"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism...
The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin,
of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all,
would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities."

Theodore Roosevelt - 26th President of the United States (1858-1919)
Did you know that back in 1969, Cesar Chavez led a march to the Mexican border to protest illegal immigration! Senator Walter Mondale and Martin Luther King’s successor as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Ralph Abernathy both marched along side him.
He also gave up the names of illegal scabs and organized pickets of the INS to close the border.
Isn't it amazing how history is being changed... I hear some saying he would have been out there in the latest riots protesting the new legislation. In fact, he would have led a counter demonstration in support of it!
