This is because they can pay these migrants much less than what others would be required to be paid for this type of labor in this type of economy. These workers check comes to around fifty or seventy dollars a week as I have previously stated.

After watching Please Don’t Bury Me Alive, Zoot Suit, Real Women Have Curves, … and the earth did not swallow him, Bless Me Ultima and Walkout my perspectives on Chicano Cinema entirely became different from the impression I had before, on the subject.

The pigs hide behind the lie that all animals are equal, and are constantly changing the rules to make life better for them without the rest of the farm realizing it. While the pigs live in the farmers house, eating platefuls of food on a table, sleeping in beds, and wearing human clothes, the rest of the animals work hard outside building the windmill with limited food rations and sleeping on…
