* FakeNationality: It becomes a RunningGag in the way the film plays with it. It's stated that the LATINOS are disappearing, Mexicans being the most notable case. When a character is surprised that her white friend Monica was Latina, it's because they say she is Argentinian. Argentina has a very large white population, mainly from Italy, Spain and Eastern Europe.
** After the disappearances, some Europeans and Middle Easterners are shown saying that they are sick and tired of being confused with Mexicans, and then this is parodied later in the film when its shown a spoof ad for the Border Patrol with the very same aforementioned people standing in for illegal immigrants.

A low-budget independent film released in 2004.
Latin Americans mysteriously vanish all over the state of California. The California borders are hidden and obscured with a thick, impenetrable mist.
Suddenly the rest of the Californians, even those with animosity toward immigrants, are forced to cope with their absence when they realize how much they relied on them.
Mostly PlayedForLaughs, although it doesn't shy away from its own opinion on the matter.
