Reflection of A Day Without a Mexican

This film was very powerful because it brought to light an extreme hypothetical that has undertones of reality throughout the movie. This would never happen (hopefully) however the situation showcases the views and perceptions of many people towards Latinos. A lot of people wont come right out and say what they think about Latinos whether positive or negative from the get-go, but that doesn't mean that these misconceptions are not thought, and advocated. When the Mexicans disappeared people realized that the jobs that they do because they are thought to be stupid or whatever are in actuality jobs that only they can do. A hard work ethic is not easy to come by and Latinos namely Mexican Immigrants put up with sub standard pay and harsh working conditions because they really don't have a choice, they do what they need to do because they have family members that they wish to take care of. Aside from the working class of Latinos the film showed many prosperous Latinos that disappeared and that had major contributions to the society. This film reprimanded any and all people who takes Latinos for granted and seems to think that A Day without a Mexican will be a good one.
