of Labor certifies that there is a shortage of domestic labor "rts The Border Patrol officials contend that without new legislation maktfo it a crime to employ illegal' aliens they must continue their current methods of operation To increase en-foreement they say they need expensive new electronic detection devices to place along the border helicopters to respond to detection alarms more cars and more manpower to seek out the illegals once they penetrate into places like the San Joaquin Valley gross violations of the workers' civil rights Chavez demanded the Border Patrol dear the illegals out of the field and his statement that he did not care if this move made urban Chicanos angry is seen as a shift in his position The subject is a difficult one for all Oiicano leaders because they

upon illegal aliens in its work force They are a significant factor but no one knows hew many are working on the farm" The Farm Bureau spokesmen said the Rodino Bill was bottled up in the Senate and is as a The AFBF is also opposing Sen Edward Kennedy's newly introduced farm labor contractor registration bill that would make it illegal for labor contractors to hire illegal aliens The Farm Bureau not only opposed making employers responsible for hiring illegal aliens it is also opposed to any massive round up that would havoc on the farm labor Dim Curlce of the Council of California Growers

of illegal aliens They deported one million aliens in tion Service policies They contend the patrol's actions infringe on the civil rights of Mexican-Americans who get caught up in the apprehension tactics Asked about this Chavez said "I know if this will put us in conflict with them (urban Chicanos) but I care It is our livelihood This is our union The workers are concerned" Stewart said the Border Patrol and the Immigration Sendee would like to see passage of the bill introduced by Congressman Peter Rodino D-NJ The llodino Bill would make it a crime for employers to hire illegal aliens The Rodino Bill would provide criminal penalties up to 610000 and one year in jail for knowingly hiring an illegal alien The bill requires the employer to check for proof of citizenship or legal entry The Rodino bill was passed by the House of Representatives over the objection of the American Farm Bureau other farm groups and urban Chicano groups The urban chicanos joined by the Chavez and the UFW

more field checks to check the papers and the ones that have papers get them out" To facilitate this process Chavez said the union will "document" the locations of illegals and report them If no action is taken by the Border Patrol pressure will be applied politically to force the US Department of Justice to order a crackdown This would seem to put Chavez and the UFW on a collision course
