A DAY WITHOUT A MEXICAN
By Javier Armas, WireTap.

This fake documentary tries to address an important social issue in the form of a fictional comedy that seeks to lessen racial tension by enticing you to laugh.
Some frustrated white Californians who listen to right wing radio talk shows in gridlock traffic might often wish to eliminate all the Mexicans and Latinos from the state. As in many parts of the US, Mexicans in California are seen as a symbol. In the eyes of the media, they are responsible for the competitive job market, rising unemployment rates and over-stressed social services. But, what if this 34% of the state's population really did one day disapear? According to the new film, "A Day without a Mexican' it would be a disaster.
