...essentially a cluster of stock characters ambling on screen only to represent their respective ethnicities. The ambling always ended in racial slurs and suspicion. Like Black.White., nearly every action in the movie is explained by race. Carjacking? What else is a young black man to do? Suspicious of your Mexican locksmith? Well, what do you expect of upper-class white women? Racist cop feeling up your wife? That?s what happens when your dad gets screwed by affirmative action...

Imagine if Jesus were alive today. How might he react to the plight of an impoverished Mexican worker living just miles from America whose wife and two children are beginning to display signs of malnourishment because the worker’s wages are so paltry? If only the worker could make it across the border, he could earn twice as much money. He realizes the risks, as entering America without documentation is illegal and dangerous. But to this father, immigration restrictions pale in comparison to the survival of his offspring. So he crosses the border, hoping to send home wages...
