Hard working Latino-Americans who only want to do the jobs Americans won't do.

Wetback culture

Ole!

Mariachi and ranchero music are common forms of entertainment, as are Cheech and Chong movies. Lowriders, tricked out bicycles, the bus and pickup trucks are common means of transportation. Leisure activities include reproduction, cock fighting (with actual birds in most situations, with schlongs while in prison), watching soap operas and lucha libre. Means of support (aside from welfare) are construction work, landscaping, housekeeping, chicken plucking, and working as farmhands, among other careers.
