Immigration is one of the most debated issues we as Americans face today. To break immigration down to a simpler word it would be border. The border is a problem that not just the United States government faces, but whole country as a whole. This documentary was about how the border patrol goes about their everyday lives. It also shows the side of the immigrants attempting to cross the border. The story followed four different people and their lives. The first person it followed was a border patrolman and showed the things he goes through while trying to lead the patrol. The next person the documentary followed was a legal immigrant who was for the minutemen patrol. She was against her people because when she was growing up she was molested by a 30 year old man and got married at age 12 and had her first child. While she was talking about this she kind of laughed because it was one of the ways she could get over what happened to her. The next person’s story was about a married couple whose marriage ended because her husband got shot in cold blood by an illegal immigrant. This case was so bad because he was a police officer making a routine stop and the immigrant who killed him had been deported multiple times are ready. Finally, the last person it followed was a congressman who is fighting to end illegal immigration in the government.
The documentary showed all sides of the debate on immigration and the border. It showed the negative, positive, and the neutral sides of the debate. It opened my eyes to see what some people go through. The ones who work for the border patrol, the illegal immigrants who try to cross the border and even the steps it takes someone trying to fix the issue. I think we need do something about this issue because it will stop the killing of immigrants, American people, and hopefully to step the molestation of girls. I hope more congressmen are out there like the one in the movie so they can make change in our government.
