How about this:
It's 2020 and John the immigrant illegally crosses the border and moves into Juarez. John is formerlly a software engineer from the now bankrupt Microsoft. In order to feed his family, John has ventured down to viva mexico in search of basic/manual data entry clerical positions.
John's only currency is the US dollor, which is now virtually worthless. Not knowing Spanish John must beg, borrow, or steal to find food & shelter when in Juarez.
In search of the Mexican dream, John thought about yummy burritos & tequila to pass the time. Instead he has not gotten a job and now resorts to acting in donkey shows to entertain the locals.
