While feeling sympathy for the families of illegal immigrants, I also feel somewhat conflicted. What would the makers of this film suggest the United States government do about our southern border? Just let anyone and every one come in whenever they please? That's a recipe for catastrophe.
Sovereign states protect their sovereignty by enforcing their border laws. I feel the message in this film is that while every other nation on the planet has a right to protect their borders, somehow, the US doesn't. Laws don't matter because this certain subset of Mexicans and Central Americans want their way. When ICE breaks up families, they are evil, inhuman racists. No blame is assigned to the people that broke laws and put their families in danger. Why have laws when we're not allowed to enforce them?
I get that many wealthy Americans hire illegals because they are lazy or greedy. These people are a huge part of the problem. The law needs to come down on them as well as the illegals.
A complete revamp of our immigration laws is in order. We need to provide work permits to those who live productive and lawful lives. At the same time, we need to get control of our borders, whether it be a wall or troops at the border. Get it done
