The song features ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra as the voice of Pete Wilson. "La Migra" is a song about illegal immigration and corruption. "Revolución" is a pro-Zapatista song.

Reception
NME (10/28/95, p. 56) - 8 (out of 10) - "[a] nugget... Brujeria are a Chicano hardcore band who sing in Spanish. Short and brutal, the assault begins with a scathing attack on California governor Pete Wilson's Proposition 187 - which stopped Mexican and South American immigrants in the state from receiving welfare, medical care and education."
