Will somebody please remind them that Cesar Chavez was against illegal immigration because it ruined his union’s chances of controlling the labor market, unionizing and demanding better pay? — El Confused-o Gringo-o Dear Gabacho: I will! Yes, Virginia: Not only was Cesar Chavez against illegal immigration, not only did he speak out against the Mexican invasion before Congress, not only did United Farm Workers members monitor the United States-Mexico border à la the Minutemen, but Chavez even sicced la migra on the undocumented from time to time. The curi- ous case of Chavez and his evolving views on illegal immigration are best explained in University of California, San Diego pro- fessor David G. Gutierrrez’s 1995 book, Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity. There, the good profe documents how the position of the union leader regarding illegal immigration changed under pressure from Chicano yaktivists. Know Nothings love to repeat Chavez’s initial hatred of open borders, so much so that a page on the UFW’s website now claims Chavez was against scabs, not illegal immigration, despite reams of evidence to the contrary. But pointing out Chavez’s original opposition to illegal immigration as validation of one’s anti-immigrant views while disregarding his Aztlanista tendencies is like homophobes basing their bigotry on the Old Testament while not bothering to follow the Nazarene’s insistence on loving thy neighbor. Confused-o Gringo-o: Find a better icon to cherry pick for your rhetorical needs — unless you believe in the supremacy of la raza above everyone else, that is. Why are words in Spanish in your column in italics? I feel that includ- ing Spanish and Spanglish slang in articles should be read in a natu- ral, conversational way and not be treated special. When I read these italicized words, I feel I should make quote signs with my fingers and read them in a more American accent. Maybe that’s just the way I read them, but wouldn’t it be more worthy to integrate those words into the American language? Either way, it’s something that bugs me in general, not really aimed at your article. — Putting the “Fun” in “Fundamentalist Grammar” We’d like you to meet Jethro and McGee. They are 11 month old brothers who are very sweet. Jethro is a very handsome guy who is a little shy but loves to play sit next to you to have his cheeks smudged. McGee is a very special little boy who loves to snuggle and sit on your lap to have his belly rubbed. Both of these guys were very sick when rescued from LCAS and as a result McGee got a very bad infection in his eye. He now needs to have some special eye drops so that he can see out of both eyes. Please stop by S.A.R.A.’s Treasures to meet the boys and talk to the cat ladies about McGee’s special needs. Sponsored by ¡ASK A MEXICAN!

It’s an arcane rule devised long ago by gabachos who figured gabacho readers were too pendejos to know when a word was for- eign. I agree that America should integrate more Spanish words than those found on menus and place names — that’s why I use so many of them. Although some Chicano authors don’t italicize Spanish or Spanglish words as a political statement against God-knows-what, I like slanting palabras — it’s a constant reminder for gabachos to get with the programa. ¡ASK A MEXICAN CONTEST!
