A Day Without a Mexican
The movie “A Day Without a Mexican” is a comic movie that shows how California would be without the help of Latinos workers. When a mysterious pink fog surrounds the boundaries of California, there is a communication breakdown and all the Latinos disappear. The film represents in a sort of comic way the concerns about immigration in California. It clearly highlights the idea from how Americans are dependent on Latinos. The main point of the film is what would happen if Latinos immigrants who are in here just disappear. It affects the economy and the state stops working missing the Mexican workers.
In the movie when the Latinos disappear, Americans are lost and do not know how to do simple things in life, because they have some Latinos do it for them. This movie shows how people rely on Latinos to do jobs that most people do not want to do. The movie has a good example of how Americans are dependent on Latinos. The senator's wife is so dependent on her maid. Her maid is a Latina that used to do everything for her, but when the maid disappeared the senator's wife doesn’t know how to do simple anything. She doesn’t know how to cook, laundry or clean the house because she used to have a Latina. There are many issues of race and dealing with prejudice and discrimination because of being Hispanic. In the film, they make an important point about the difference between Hispanics and Mexicans. As in another part of the movie, the senator's wife hires two illegal Latinos to paint the house, but when the senator finds the illegal Latinos in his house he took them out. The next day the senator says "they are illegal Mexicans from Guatemalans and Hondurans". Guatemalans and Hondurans are not Mexicans. They think that all Latinos are Mexicans because they speak Spanish. There are about forty countries south of the United States and Mexico border which
