In the movie “Crossing Over” we meet immigrants new and established, ”legal” and “illegal” which allows us to examine The Menace to Society Figure. It is an important element for mainstream Hollywood movies. Within this universe of the archetype poses a threat to civil “normalcy” and is often defined in terms of the threat they pose to White characters which ultimately makes the Minority character a menace. The exclusion of the Menace to Society character from full participation in mainstream society is justified, and in some cases required for the security of the “common good”, further underscoring the subtle messages of the racial differences between the two characters in the movie.
