  • What About Texas? the Forgotten Cause of Antonio
    WHAT ABOUT TEXAS? THE FORGOTTEN CAUSE OF ANTONIO ORENDAIN AND THE RÍO GRANDE VALLEY FARM WORKERS, 1966-1982 by TIMOTHY PAUL BOWMAN Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2005 CHAPTER 1 THE MAKING OF A HUELGISTA Antonio Orendain was born on May 28, 1930, in Etzatlán, Mexico.1 He was only educated through elementary school and often worked as an impoverished campesino (a Mexican farm worker). In 1950 at the age of twenty, Orendain entered California illegally. Hungry and broke, he heard that American farm owners suffered from a labor shortage following World War II. Like many of his compatriots, Orendain thought the United States was the “land of opportunity.” He crossed the border and entered San Ysidro, California, lured by rumors of farm workers making as much as $1.60 per hour –a sum which in Mexico was unheard of. To Orendain, the decision to cross the border illegally seemed logical: The worst part of it in Mexico [was] to be too close to the United States and so far away from God. If I [had] a great need in Mexico, I am pretty sure need is the mother of all inventions. And I was hungry and needy, and since I was so close to the United States, I [did not] have to invent some way in order to solve the problem. I didn’t have to break my head to solve the problem, because everybody said the United States was easy.
