Not a very nice system...

Is that what it is promoting?
The system works pretty well, economically. But what's happening is a culture war. Where some Hispanic immigrants have long lived in certain parts of town, those parts of town are spreading; the population segment is growing at a faster pace than the other races, and some people are feeling overwhelmed (see some above posts).

In day-to-day reality, the bulk of the labor force in basic construction, janitorial, low-level food service, landscaping, wholesale logistics, farming labor, etc. is of immigrant origin -- especially in So Cal. I have several friends who would be out of business if all "illegals" were gone tomorrow. There seem to be a vocal few (above posts) who are unaware of how tightly immigrant labor is tied to their economic well-being. This movie was made for them.
