Suggested Theme Song: “Chinga tu Madre” by Molotov
The Gringo is the story of a man from the US who has snuck into Mexico.
Illegal immigration in the US is a very hot button issue. But this seems to be the case everywhere. Usually, however, in major economies, like the US, the message is that immigrants are coming to make money, and businesses are using them to insure the bosses can keep more money for themselves. This is supply and demand. Businesses want cheap labor, labor wants more money.
So, what makes a person go from a wealthier country to one with a weaker economy? Well, many things, potentially. But our hero’s not going there for any noble reason, he’s going to escape, but from what we do not know. Like the desperadoes who used to do this in movies set in the 1800s, he is not a good guy.
