Made in L.A. - Nation of Immigrants -Updated

Updated version of the Immigration-focused video created by "Made in L.A." (http://www.MadeinLA.com ), an Emmy-winning documentary that follows the remarkable story of three Latina immigrants working in Los Angeles sweatshops as they embark on a three-year odyssey to win basic labor protections from a trendy clothing retailer. In intimate verité style, "Made in L.A." reveals the impact of the struggle on each woman's life as they are gradually transformed by the experience. Compelling, humorous, deeply human, "Made in L.A." is a story about immigration, the power of unity and the courage it takes to find your voice.

Look if you need a job or something go to apply for public assistance then proceed to the unemployement office. I assume you are white, that is the reason why this is so disturbing to you, but denying all your peoples problems is going to get you nowhere.

If your dad or grandpa was a loser and everyone in your neighborhood that DOESN'T mean you have to be one too.

@Diegolopolis " Caucasian's are generally high school dropouts and members of gangs or prostitution rings. "

Thats the dumbest shit I ever heard in my life. Either your a troll or your honestly dumb enough to beleive that?

Name me one white gang? And no the KKK isn't a gang...

@fargonbastedge Caucasian's are generally high school dropouts and members of gangs or prostitution rings. I am brown, Mexican, I eat tortillas, and everyone I know who is like myself graduated high school and went to college. I honestly feel sorry for the whites because they could do better for themselves or at least do as good as blacks. I think education will be the way out for most Caucasians but most of their families do not appreciate or encourage it and the cycle continues

@Diegolopolis " Caucasian people are dirty and use up all the welfare, health and education benefits"

You dumb beaner. The SPIC unemployment rate is @ 22% as oppose to whites 7%. Dumbass

@CharmingxMakeup Wishful thinking. Just because white folks have successfully brainwashed themselves into being "mixed".

Doesn't mean other races or nationalities want the same thing. Your gulible

@mexycan2000 Nobody in this world owes you a job.

Once you create jobs(if you ever do) then you'll realize this. A lot of things have to be in place in order for the company to expand (aka hire people).

Where can I watch or rent or order or what ever, I must see this!

[mexycan2000]

I feel VERY STONGLY no matter who you are, where you are from, what you are doing... EVERYONE deserves a LIVING wage and reasonable hours to accomplish their jobs. It's time employers, everywhere in the world, stopped using their workers as a means to their end ~ gold pots at the end of their rainbows!

@fargonbastedge I truly believe that is because of the opportunities that caucasians has presented to them at the time. Now that we are in 2011 it is time to understand that we are all equal and regardless of race we are capable of the same innovations.

@CharmingxMakeup Yes race mixing is wrong, because it lowers the IQ of humanity. If everyone "mixed" then there'd be no white people. If there was no white people, than there'd be no cars, phones, electricity, democracy, etc. Because they invented them...
