"If it wasn't for immigrants in this country, there wouldn't be an agricultural industry today," Rodriguez said. The demonstration was one of seven organized this weekend in California and Washington state to honor UFW founder Cesar Chavez, whose birthday is March 31.
Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara and Oxnard Councilwoman Carmen Ramirez helped lead the two-mile march that ended with a rally at Cesar Chavez Elementary School. Nearly 1,000 protesters took to the streets of La Colonia on Sunday to encourage lawmakers to pass an immigration overhaul that would make legal residents of 11 million immigrants living in the United States, including an estimated 71,000 in Ventura County.Īrturo Rodriguez, president of the United Farm Workers of America Rep.
