This documentary is a look into the ongoing nationwide controversy surrounding a suburban community, its ever-expanding population of illegal immigrants, and the hate-based attempted murder of two Mexican day laborers. In the late 1990's, some 1,500 Mexican workers moved to the middle-class town of Farmingville, New York, on Long Island. This influx of illegal immigrants sparked friction with the Anglo populations; charges and counter-charges of lawlessness and racism; protest marches, unity rallies and internet campaigns, and vicious hate crimes.
