We've told you a bit about the United Farm Workers (UFW) and the California ICE raids that snagged a bunch of illegal immigrants, including a guy arrested for kidnapping and attempted rape.
Now the UFW is pulling a page from the Alex Padilla playbook, asking if a naturalized U.S. citizen will be 'targeted' because of his skin color:
Don Chanito has been a Central Coast farm worker since 1979. He is proud of his US citizenship, but has concerns that so many people are being targeted simply for being brown and working hard. #WeFeedYou pic.twitter.com/TQFj4p1Nhk

How despicable.
Thank you for proving Americans will do these jobs and illegal aliens are not necessary.

Man, did they self-own on this one.
He’s in luck. As a US Citizen, he’s not being targeted. He’s able to continue working without fear, secure in his Identity as a fellow American.

But he's brown! And hard working! And ICE is racist!
Or something.
I appreciate Don Chanito's work. It's unfortunate the media and politicians fear monger constantly to make people afraid who needn't be for attention.

Fear-mongering is what they do best.
There it is.

Come legally and prosper!
UFW didn't think this one through, did they?
No one is targeted for skin color nor for working hard. Illegal aliens must go.

This is correct.
That is a very uneducated statement for you to make. The workers are being targeted because they are illegal aliens. Review the 2024 election! Americans voted to deport illegal aliens.

They're being intentionally inflammatory.
No, they are being targeted for being here illegally.Color has nothing to do with it. Obviously, you are brown, and no one is targeting you. Why? Cause you are a citizen!

On the contrary, we're very grateful Mr. Chanito is here and working hard.
He did it the right way.
