The message that Arau presents is essentially that Californians take their Latino workforce, both legal and illegal, for granted and grossly misunderstand their importance to the state's economy.

If Arau had taken a slightly more serious approach, leaving out the plot-driven aspects of the movie in favor of a pure satirical documentary, the impact of its socially conscious message would likely have been greatly strengthened.
