It is astonishing to see how anti-immigration trolls are bashing this documentary, because of their political views. First let me say that this an excellently well-made documentary and despite the indifferent gaze from thousands of -I guess- Trump followers, it is also heartbreaking.
Those heartless who dare to compare illegally entering a COUNTRY to breaking into another's home, completely miss the point: Yes, some of the illegal immigrants made mistakes, or even committed petty crimes, but they are not the majority, and even those who made mistakes are still human beings and deserve as much sympathy and opportunities as any other human being.
There are others who obviously didn't watch the documentary because blindly claim that there are legal ways to enter the country. I, being a bilingual professional with a job offer, tried three times to enter the US legally and had to give up. Now I am happily living in Canada, where I brought all my savings and talent. Can you imagine how hard it is for people who didn't have the luck I had of being educated and having enough funds?
Finally, I read the most ignorant claim: It is their fault for taking the risk instead of staying in their countries. Those of course did not watch the documentary and so you should not value their judgement here. The US is deporting people who escaped from extreme poverty, slavery, terrorism and more.
Isn't the US the best country on Earth? Isn't it the most prosperous land there is? Well, many people I read here surely think America is just a petty house with a limited stock of opportunities, not enough to share with those in need... Wow, how little they think of such a big nation!
