BEFORE WATCHING, A NOTE TO NON-AMERICAN VIEWERS:
Within urban centers throughout the United States, there are huge retail stores that specialize in construction, home repair and home improvement products and frequented by homeowners and building contractors alike. Outside these stores is often found a group of unemployed (often illegal alien) Mexican folks of all ages looking for 'day-labor' work. After the contractor or homeowner loads-up their purchases from the store, it is not uncommon to go over to this group and hire a couple helpers for the work ahead. Sometimes there is a bit of a frenzied enthusiasm when one approaches this group. A typical exchange goes something like this: "I need three painters and..." I paint!, I paint! with one arm in the air, is the common response..."and two guys that know how to dig a trench and..." Me dig!, Me dig! Once everyone is chosen and the hourly pay is established (usually between seven and 10 dollars an hour) the lucky, newly employed pile into their bosses vehicle and make a bee-line for the job site. Enjoy this funny satire.
