Close to 3,000 gathered to pay tribute to the late Cesar Chavez, the farm labor leader who fought to better working conditions in the picking fields. And it's here near the border with Mexico, in the chile fields, where the worst working conditions prevailed, according to Carlos Marentes, president of the Border Farm Workers Union.

Marentes indicates that the average annual income for a farm worker in this area is just over $5,000, well below the poverty line. At the same time, the chile industry has become the most prosperous in the region. In 1992, picante sauce or salsa surpassed ketchup as the most popular condiment in the US. And for the state of New Mexico, chile is the most lucrative crop. Mark Schneider, a lawyer with Texas Rural Legal Aid says that the Department of Labor for years has ignored the enforcement of minimal labor laws for the farm workers.

Is the situation here for the farm workers worse than in any part of the country or what is the situation?

Even the Catholic diocese of El Paso has joined in the call for better working conditions. Bishop Raymundo Peña honored Cesar Chavez and the struggle of the farm workers.

Three years ago, over 100 workers went on strike against one of the largest chile farms in New Mexico, and as a result, a collective bargaining agreement was signed. That contract has not been renewed. Still, labor leader Carlos Marentes says the farm workers' movement is alive and as time goes on, more attention continues to be focused on the plight of the chile workers. For Latino USA, I'm Angelica Luevano in El Paso, Texas.
