>> anthony: los angeles, maybe the most-filmed, most-televised, most-looked-at place on earth. it's the landscape of our collective dreams. but what if we look at l.a. from the point of view of the largely unphotographed? the 47% of angelinos who don't show up so much on idiot sitcoms

and superhero films. the people doing much if not most of the hard work of getting things done in this town. one in ten angelinos are undocumented. one in ten. think about that number for a while. that's who's here now. contemplate if you will what would happen if anywhere near 10% of the workforce were no longer here. particularly since they're rather overrepresented in those fields that most of us are in no hurry to enter. los angeles, like much of california, used to be part of mexico. now mexico, or a whole lot of mexicans, are a vital part of us.

raul hinojosa-ojeda is a professor of chicano studies at ucla. gish bac on washington blvd. serves specialties from the city tlacolula de matamoros in oaxaca, mexico. >> raul: so, bro, you know about tlacolula, right? i mean -- >> anthony: it's the market, isn't it? >> raul: tlacolula is this village, okay, in the middle of a valley. the oldest valley where agriculture was invented in the world. these people who live here lived there for about 10,000 years. so there's archeological evidence of the seeds actually being manipulated. >> anthony: all the way back to the farms? >> raul: all the way back there. and there's where the core of the moles that we're going to

eat tonight are from. >> anthony: the mole negro, or black mole, is an incredibly old and sophisticated near magical substance containing over 30 different ingredients. it's an old sauce from an old culture used as either a base to build a stew or as a sauce to pour over meat. but unlike most sauces, the point of the mole is the mole itself. the flavor is unique. roasted, sweet, bitter, and spicy all at the same time. and deep. very, very deep. maria ramos is the owner and chef, the third-generation of a family of barbacoa specialists. barbacoa being the barbecuing of lamb and goat until it's falling-apart perfect. she started out cooking at age 10 at the sunday market in tlacolula. >> anthony: this family goes back a number of generations to that area. >> raul: exactly, and they got here because they were migrant

workers in the fields of l.a. and that's when they started working in the restaurants. >> anthony: this show will air long after the election. there is actually a national conversation now, unthinkable in my lifetime, where the notion of rounding up however many millions of undocumented workers in this country all at once or in short order and then kicking them all out. i mean, it seems unthinkable, but, i mean, you know, they said that in europe in the '30s. >> raul: i think from a military logistical point of view, there's no way you're going to move the people out of california and out of los angeles. i mean, they tried that in 1954 with "operation wetback." mostly from the fields moving a million people out, right? >> anthony: and they did? >> raul: yes. >> anthony: and what happened? >> raul: well, first of all, a huge amount of u.s citizens were picked up one day and never came

home. and families were torn apart. and then the most ironic thing about it, the most tragic thing, is that the next couple of years they said, "you know what, we have to open the borders again to bring them all back." the problem was we never stopped wanting the workers. california is the number one agricultural state and approximately about 70% of the labor force is undocumented. >> anthony: stuff would rot in the fields to start with. >> raul: right. number one, who's growing it? >> anthony: because who's growing it, picking it, packing it, to a great extent processing it, cooking it. >> raul: and serving it, cleaning up after it. i mean, there would not only be no restaurant business, there would be the worst economic crisis in the history of california and the united states. ♪

>> gustavo: and that's okay. every mexican in history has always given shit to another mexican about their spanish. you don't know this lingo, you don't know this pronunciation, but, yeah, you should know spanish better. >> al madrigal: well, that's what i learned. this has been an age-old thing where everyone is trying to out-chicano each other and that i shouldn't feel that bad about it. >> anthony: what's that expression for a bad chicano? >> al madrigal: pocho. >> anthony: is there a literal translation there? >> gustavo: rotting. so if you say "pocho," you're basically saying you're a rotting mexican, you're completely fake, you've lost all your culture. therefore, you should be hated. >> anthony: that's harsh. >> gustavo: i know. >> anthony: when you hear, like, about rounding up mexicans left and right and sending them off to camps and putting them across the border -- scary, angry? or -- >> al madrigal: i actually think it's good. i think latinos need this to rally together to -- it's like the world needs aliens to land and we'll actually come together. >> anthony: is there anybody who can rally all mexicans, you know? >> gustavo: like a spokesperson, yeah. >> anthony: no, like a mexican reagan.

this led directly, if unexpectedly, to a storied career in film. danny trejo is known and loved for iconic tough guy roles in such films as "heat," "from dusk till dawn," and "once upon a time in mexico." but he finally rose to action hero, leading-man status he always deserved playing machete. a character who grew out of the fake trailer from the robert rodriguez, quinten tarentino film "grindhouse" which soon became its own awesome and gore-heavy franchise. if you haven't seen "machete," it's follow-up, "machete kills," or soon-to-be-released "machete in space," it's like missing the "citizen kane" of violent, family friendly fun. trejo's cantina on cahuenga boulevard, because, of course.

grand opening is still a few days away, but i thought since i'm in town i'd help advise danny on the new menu. give him the benefits of my tasting notes. and i've got to be honest, i was thinking, "how good could it be? can machete run a good restaurant, and why?" >> anthony: so we're going to see trejo's taco's all across america at some point. >> danny: that'd be awesome. taco truck on every corner. >> anthony: this is delicious. >> danny: awesome. >> anthony: on the menu tonight, jidori chicken with a chipotle cream sauce, some charred branzino with summer squash and sauteed poblanos peppers and crispy pork tacos with black garlic mole and some fat sacks of uni. and lots of healthy greens. >> anthony: why healthy? >> danny: because we have such an obese problem in the united states, especially latinos. so we had to find a way to make it tasty, but healthy.

healthy food can taste good. >> anthony: clean, healthier, lighter, locally sourced versions of mexican street classics are not exactly what'd i'd expected, and i sure as shit ain't making no rude cracks about vegan tacos, not to this man. though to be fair, danny trejo is like the nicest guy in the world. >> anthony: here's something i discovered that completely shocked and surprised me. so i have to ask you, are you a morrissey fan by any chance? >> danny: morrissey. >> anthony: like from this band the smiths, apparently it's like this british rock band of the late '80s that is apparently hugely popular in the chicano community. so you have not been touched by this -- >> danny: i'm going to tell you something right now between me and you. i listen to no music that came after 1968. i'm like a oldies guy, you know what i mean. >> anthony: i mean, your parents

were born in texas. >> danny: yeah. >> anthony: but can you trace your people back to what area in mexico? >> danny: monterrey. my grandmother, grandfather was born in monterrey. >> anthony: can you speak spanish at home? >> danny: yeah, we spoke. i spoke spanish until i was about nine, ten and then usually you stop speaking spanish when you go to grammar school. especially in the '50s, because they wouldn't let you. no, no you don't speak spanish, you know, so you kind of forget. >> anthony: right. >> danny: but then when you start going to juvenile hall and jail, you pick it up again so the guards don't know what you're talking about. >> anthony: did you get into a 12-step in -- when you were still in prison or after? >> danny: while i was in prison. it was 1968. cinco de mayo 1968, that was where i just kind of, like, made a vow, like, "i'm done." >> anthony: when you get out, you became a drug counselor. >> danny: i dedicated my life to helping other people. everything good that has happened to me has happened as a direct result of helping someone else. everything. >> anthony: well, for example,

you were called to a film set to counsel somebody and you bump into, of all the people in the world, edward bunker. >> danny: eddie bunker. >> anthony: he's a legendary ex-con turned writer, and i guess screenwriter as well. >> danny: i knew eddie in prison, you see, so when he saw me, "what're you doing here?" i said, "i'm working with this kid." he asked me, "are you still boxing? because i held a lightweight and welterweight champion in every joint." i said, "i'm training. i still train, but i don't get hit in the face anymore." and he said, "we need somebody to train one of the actors how to box." >> anthony: the movie was the awesome "runaway train." trejo trained and fought against the actor eric roberts, who along with jon voight, earned academy award nominations for the film. for danny, it was that start of a long and glorious career. he never looked back. >> danny: i'll never forget andrei konchalovsky the director, russian aristocrat, right? he says, "you fight eric in

movie. you be my friend." now if you come out of the penitentiary and somebody says, "you be my friend," it's kind of a red flag. >> anthony: right. and how many films since then? a whole hell of a lot. >> danny: about 320 or something, you know what i mean? >> anthony: you moved from there to serious bad guys. >> danny: yeah. >> anthony: to now action hero franchise. how do you stay nice in a business basically full of --? >> danny: eddie bunker, the first time i started to get like a little recognition, he told me something. he said, "try to remember that the whole world can think you're a movie star, but you can't." and i watch movie stars, right, i hate them. you know, nobody likes them. and if you're on a movie set and the movie star comes in and after he leaves and everybody talks, "that guy's an ass. i hate that guy. man, he's rude." so i don't want to be that guy. >> anthony: right.

>> danny: you know what i mean? >> anthony: one of the things i learned making television really early on, if like you show up to shoot and the people, like, with the cameras, as in the crew, and they say, "oh, the talent is on set," what they really mean is that the -- is on set. if someone calls me "the talent" or refers to me as "the talent," it's time to go back and take a long look in the mirror, right? it's ok that everybody ignoit's fine.n i drive. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. because i don't use my cellphone when i'm driving. even though my family does, and leaves me all alone. here's something else... i don't share it with mom. i don't. right, mom? i have a brand new putter you don't even know about! it's awesome. safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. sometimes i leave the seat up on purpose. switching to allstate is worth it.

and ingredients and a re-evaluation of how much you should pay. i mean, people love it, but their expectation is mexican food should be cheap. and the fact is there's always going to be new arrivals from mexico who are perfectly willing to sell you, unfortunately or fortunately, really good mexican food for very cheap, but not the kind of deep flavors that, you know, that you find or i found in my travels there. >> eddie: well, sometimes in the mexican world the only thing that's passed down, it's not a home, it's not a necklace. what it is, is a recipe passed down from generation to generation. it all comes from these rustic dishes that our grandmothers and grandfathers cooked for us. >> anthony: do you have any responsibility to preserve and protect the traditional flavors and ingredients of mexico or do you -- or not? >> eddie: yeah, of course. everything that you see here in front of you is inspired by something that we had as a child, but how do we present that with our training and how do we present that with our experience that's going to give

people value to want to pay more for it? >> robin: i think los angeles is kind of a stage for that next level, and chef ray is doing a really good job of that. he's presenting stuff like this, and that's what's going to elevate people's mindset in terms of what you can do with this food. >> anthony: chicharron, skin on pork, cured and salted, cooked sous-vide for 36 hours, then deep fried and served with elephant garlic mojo and radish sprouts. tamales, a slow-cooked lamb neck with oyster mushrooms and queso oaxaca. camote, an okinawan sweet potato with pork. the ears, tails and snout, topped with a drizzle of pilancillo syrup. >> chef ray: i've got one more present for you guys here. a little pre-dessert. eddie, i know it's your

name. >> eddie: right, it's just the way our culture is. we're so family oriented that that's what matters to us. at the same time, i feel like our job as chefs is to bring in our unique latin american experience to dining, family, tradition, food, culture. and l.a. is the heart of that. it really is. and hopefully that resonates throughout the rest of the country.

bad guy myself. >> anthony: did you become a bad guy? >> alex: oh, i did, yes. >> anthony: how bad? >> alex: i became very aggressive, beating people, losing control, and using excessive force when there wasn't really any need for me to do that. i mean, i worked the most infamous police station ever known. it was called rampart. won best picture for denzel washington for his portrayal of this really bad police officer. >> denzel: "i'm the police. i run shit here. you just live here." >> anthony: was that an understatement? were there cops that bad? >> alex: yes, there were. yes, there were. i was one of them. the problem was very systemic. we don't have so much that problem anymore. it does happen. >> anthony: this is not a nature of the job, when you're asked to every day go in and look at people at their most desperate and ugly that you become desensitized and maybe even turn into a monster. >> alex: just think about it.

do help. there's also many who lose that empathetic feeling of looking at someone with brown skin or very dark skin and they say, "you know, why am i helping out this person? it's a stupid mexican." and i saw that being projected upon these people who all they wanted was help. ♪ ♪ >> anthony: elisa sol garcia grew up in boyle heights and is no stranger to the challenges facing the latino community. the boyle heights running club
