      abstract = {In recent years over a million Latin Americans in search  of a better life have surged into the U.S. --  conventionally and illegally. The U.S. has undergone  arguably the most dramatic demographic and cultural shifts  in its history and Latinos are expected to emerge as a  potential American majority by 2050. The Whole Enchilada  details how this growth has resulted in acute growing  pains: conservative commentators railing against porous  borders and complaining about illegal Latinos taking jobs  away from Americans; an increase in hate crimes against  Latinos, specifically in the infamous murder in Patchogue,  N.Y.; extremely high unemployment in Latino communities;  and young Hispanics joining gangs.The film also shows the  increasing Latino vibrancy and optimism especially in Los  Angeles where there is a new sense of empowerment. The L.A.  City Councilman Tony Cardenas, touted as a future political  leader, the actress Lupe Ontiveros, Josefina Lopez, the  screenwriter of Real Women Have Curves, now the director of  a theatre company and TV anchor Geraldo Rivera are some of  the people interviewed in this lively film. Most  dramatically, the recent appointment of the Supreme Court s  first Hispanic justice, Sonia Maria Sotomayor, sent a  powerful message of hope and opportunity to the Latino  community.},
