I actually admire the guy. Speaking of César Chávez.

At least in his earlier days, he was anti illegal immigration since
he knew that undermined the wages of mexican americans that were
farm laborers.

One of the unintended consequences of his efforts was that illegal
immigration became more attractive.

I'm not a fan of slave labor which is my definition of illegal aliens
working in our economy. I wasn't around when slavery was legal to
make a stand so I'll just have to say that winking at illegals is
very much the same thing.

He also has managed to get State offices closed one day each year.
I went to file a motion in Superior Court and they were closed. I
should have twigged to a holiday of some sort because traffic was
pretty light. Man was I ****ed. Three hours of driving and $20.00 to
park for nothing.

20 bucks to park? Does that come with valet service? I haven't paid
a parking fee in years other than attending NAMES.


That's nothing Wes. It's $352.00 just to file a motion.
At least I wrote my own. That saved a bunch of money - unless I F'd it up.
People bitch a lot about the cost of litigation but I can tell you it looks

I've probably got 20 hours tied up just looking over case law in Shepard's.
