This is the most even-handed treatment of this controversial subject I've yet seen. Lynch, the director, shows the reality and consequences of illegal immigration from every angle. The un-willingness of our "leaders" to deal with the issue, the law enforcement standpoint, the costs to our social services and schools, economic costs, national security, and finally, the brutal human cost on the immigrants themselves. Regardless of your politics, every American needs to see this film. Both political parties are responsible for this issue, and Lynch is good about exposing the political agendas of both sides. The point of this film is to raise awareness. It is unafraid, and unflinching in revealing the magnitude and consequences of decades of uncontrolled borders.

How anyone could write a bad review of this film is baffling? Mr Lynch deserves an Oscar and a Congressional Medal for doing what the Government will not do. Mr Lynch tells it how it is.The film is an A-grade production. The film's message hits the middle target, which is the problem of illegal immigration can no longer be ignored. Lynch is compassionate towards illegal immigrants. Lynch is smart and practical regarding the fiscal impact. Lynch is pinpoint perfect when describing our open borders. Lynch is non-partisan and balanced with no political message to sell. But most important, Lynch shows the world how the border states are under attack on a daily basis and yet nobody in DC seems to care.BRAVO!

This is a classical example of exploitative use of the word "documentary". The pursuit of truth, subjectivity and dialectics is completely overruled to prove the opinions of the maker of it. In simple words, it's conservative and biased gibberish. No wonder there is a Fox journalist appraisal in the trailer, even. Exploitation starts from the poster and goes all along: this pretentiously "horror", or "scary" motifs, in a horrible old-fashioned way to deceive the audience. The time for this kind of production is due, pal -- with the internet people are way better informed.Documentary film is an art form that gained broader audiences in the past ten years. True gems came in this new wave. This is NOT one of them.

This documentary focuses on the issue of illegal immigration facing the United States today. The film comprises interviews with people from both sides of the equation. Mr. Lynch travels to Arizona and speaks with ranchers about how illegal immigration is effecting their business and their home lives. The film looks also looks at this issue from the immigrants point of view, forced to live crammed in a house with many people, hungry children,language barriers, and all this just for trying to raise their families. Is this really what the American dream is? Mr. Lynch does a fine job showing both sides of the issue, from illegal immigrants taking away jobs from US citizens, and getting free emergency room health care, and not paying taxes. At the same time these points are being conveyed, Mr. Lynch captures the emotional aspect of good people just trying to do what is best for their families, children having a good life, going to school and succeeding. I would definitely recommend this well made documentary. *****
