Another Pro-Open Border movie?

Another movie trying to brainwash us all into accepting illegal criminals in the USA?

Please stay away from this piece of *beep* thank you.

Fact: Did you know illegals pay 10 times more to get in the USA, because their OWN country don't trust them to give them a TURIST VISA to visit the USA? If they had the turist visa, they would be able to buy a 400 usd plane ticket and just stay in the USA, BUT their criminal records are so *beep* UP that they are not granted a turist VISA.

Just think about that for a bit. They don't come here just for freedom and prosperity.

The movie has many hidden messages and not just one.

First message is that the immigration policies of the USA has caused so much death and suffering to humans (illegal immigrants). Open immigration policy is not clearly stated but it can be implied.

The Second message is that the USA is not as tolerant as it should be towards immigrants especially those of extreme Islamic worldview.

The third message is that when it comes to liberalism in sexuality, the immigrants (legal immigrants) must understand that their members are fee individuals with rights to practice any sexual matter whether it is wrong or bad in their own religion or culture.

The fourth message is that honor killing is not tolerated

The fifth message is that there is corruption in the USA that takes advantage of illegal immigrants

Does this movie explore in depth all aspects of immigration? NO. Does it explore in depth any one single aspect? No. Does it give fair treatment for any issue presented? No.

It only explored what the creator/writer/producer/director deemed important.

So is it useful for understanding or exploring immigration? Definitely not.

It is just a movie.

from your summary it sounds like another piece of political crap from Hollywood

I'm going to skip the rest of your points to call out this one:

>The fourth message is that honor killing is not tolerated

This isn't really a "message" per se - it's more what's known as "the law"

Several other "messages" you attribute to the movie are things that happen in real life. Does the TV show "Law & Order" have a "message" that people get murdered in New York City?

This is the most retarded post I've seen on IMDB.

The USA government is the government that decides whether to give you a tourist visa to visit the USA. The country they are visiting from has nothing to do with it.

Some countries may restrict citizens from visiting some select countries. Like some muslim countries have no diplomatic relations with Israel, so if you are from there, your passport will say you aren't allowed to visit Israel.

The reason why people pay smugglers to get into the USA is because they can't get a tourist visa from the USA government. Well and you don't get fingerprinted and photographed like tourists in the USA.

We shouldn't allow any immigrants into this country until our economy is under control, all they do is take!!!

What the hell is a turist?! How can you expect anyone to listen to you if you can't even spell?

It is obvious that you know nothing about how immigration works, nor the reasoning behind those so desperate for the promise that America holds that they would risk everything.

Last time I checked, this country was founded by illegal immigrants and look how that worked out.

If you just watch it as a film and don't take in nothing more then it's pretty good but try to ignore the liberal oh the poor people crap.

It's easy for Liberal Hollywood to stand on a soapbox. Harrison Ford and others won't lose any money.
