National Review associate editor Meghan Clyne has a review of the film A Day Without A Mexican: "A Day Without Misrepresentation?"
Back in May when this first came out, I pointed out on a comments thread on another blog that this was the ultimate strawman film. As Clyne says:
Therein lies the movie's first flaw - but there are many others. Mexican's very premise - suddenly, a mysterious fog clears the state of all Hispanics, and anything remotely Latino - is alarmist, and based on stereotypes that equate reasoned support for stricter immigration control with irrational bigotry. In fact, the film itself is one long parade of stereotypes - ill informed and offensive, tired and trite...
She broadens the discussion to include many topics other than the movie. She also points out that not only are los gringos caricatured as lazy racist incompetents, but the movie caricatured los negros with "particular scorn." Where's Jesse Jackson when you need him?

This shows the brilliance of the one-worlder and druggocratic-mexican propaganda; they have to use a false-dilemma jokey argument. Think of the number of alternatives they have left out between their choices of no-borders or disappear all the latinos in less than one year. We could permanently deport 7%,8,9...84% of the illegals in one year. That makes 75 alternatives above their two. Israel has excluded more than 10% of its workforce, with no great inconvenience. But our illegal percentage of the national workforce is only around 5%. If Israel loses 15% of its workforce during certain extended periods, because the palestinians got locked out for security reasons, America could even more easily lose 5%, especially with our white collar economy, which could raise blue-collar wages over many clerical positions' pay.
