One morning, California wakes up to find that one-third of its population -- the Hispanic third -- has disappeared. A strange pink fog envelops the state, and communication outside its boundaries is completely cut off. The economic, political and social implications of this disaster threaten California's way of life, and for a group of disparate people (all white, except for one Latina), the cracks in their private lives are forced wide open.

2. In 1995 the City of Concord adopted the “Traffic Safety Anti-Solicitation Ordinance”, Concord Municipal Code (CMC) Article-X Sections 106-561 to 106-566 inclusive. This ordinance makes it unlawful to solicit or attempt to solicit employment from any person traveling in a vehicle along a public right-of-way. The ordinance also makes it unlawful for any person, while driving or occupying a vehicle, to solicit employment from a person whom is within the public right-of-way.
Enforcement of this ordinance is not practical and has had only a minimal impact on the problem. However, the acts of solicitation have moved from the public right-of way onto the private property parking lots of local businesses. The laborers and contractors alike have realized that moving from the public rightof- way, onto private property, gets around the provisions of the ordinance.
Enforcement of the Anti-Solicitation/Traffic Safety Ordinance is difficult because collecting evidence to prove both solicitation and the creation of a traffic safety hazard requires considerable resources. The Concord Police Department issued 18 citations under the Ordinance between 1998 and 1999. The Department estimates approximately 50-60 verbal warnings have been issued over the same time period. This level of enforcement, while active at time, did not caused a noticeable reduction in solicitation.
