“A Day Without A Mexican”
Here in the southwestern part of the United States, Spanish culture and their people play a big role in our society. They are very hard workers and regardless if they are here legally or are undocumented, our economy is highly dependent on their presence. There are many false accusations floating around that they are harming our nation in many fashions, however most of them are untrue and biased.

In the movie, all of the Mexican people and other nationalities that come her for a “better life” disappeared, and as one result, the entire states crops died off and they were running out of fresh fruit and vegetables. Mostly likely without them, our produce industry would collapse if they were to disappear all of a sudden. Another main topic that stood out to me was that they make up about one third of the population, and if illegal and legal people were to no longer have their jobs, many parts of society would likely shut down do to lack of capability to continue on daily work. For example in the movie, they had to close down the schools because many of the teachers were no longer present and the kids had taken over and were no longer obeying the few authority members left. The movie mentions quite a few stereotypes about Mexican-American people and other illegal people, but the one that
