“California Dream” itself. Even the marketing of the fi lm A Day Without a Mexican stirred some controversy.
Some immigrant rights groups appeared to have been offended by promotional billboards reading
“On May 14th, there will be no Mexicans in California”. They believed it was a genuine anti-immigration slogan.
