A friend of mine who is an immigrant from Mexico was recently telling me about a movie called A Day Without a Mexican. The film takes a humorous look at what would happen if all the Mexicans in California were to suddenly disappear back to their home country, showing scenes of rich people having to do their own gardening, farmers unable to afford laborers, etc. Though I haven’t seen it, it sounds like an amusing conversation starter on the topic of immigration.
"I keep thinking I’d love to see some enterprising Catholic filmmakers create a similar short film about overpopulation. I have the storyboard all worked out. . . ."
In a recent commentary related to overpopulation in her National Catholic Register blog (a short essay that sparked a number of comments), Jennifer Fulwiler speculates about what would happen if every child higher than third in their family’s birth order would disappear.
