You can't see the laborer's face, only his hat. This shows us a sense of invisibility. The horizon is also black, and so there you can see that "they" (the people of Mexico) are in a "dark" place at the time. Also, the laborer blends in with the background, his lines matching that of the hills, so it says something about how you don't have an actual identity for the person; they blend in and aren't seen or really given credit for.
Some great ideas in this post. The idea of invisibility is a very interesting one, and I think you could expand upon it with other artistic elements in the painting. Keep up the good work, and try to develop these great ideas as much as possible.
