Rescued Cat of the Week
BY GUSTAVO ARELLANO
Dear Mexican: Whenever I have an immigration debate with my
Chicano hermanos who support open borders and get angry at any
type of immigration control, they don’t seem to understand the basic
laws of economics, such as the fact that migrant workers who pick
fruit, work in construction and do other blue-collar jobs can never
demand wage increases as long as a steady flow of their friends
keeps coming up from the homeland. 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.

Dear Wab: Although the Mexican treats American immigration law the same
way his countrymen regard the U.S. soccer team, he must grovel to the cau-
dillos that are his copy editors, all of whom would deport me if I didn’t itali-
cize Spanish words. 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.
