The Other Side of Immigration

It was great getting to watch this film again. Last semester I took a political science class of Latin America, and one of the issues we discussed was immigration. I was also really good to see how many students came out to the film showing. This film really gives you an in-depth look at what happens behind the scenes of immigration, the things that never gets reported. The media, I think, is one of the main reasons why immigration has such a bad connotation. News channels and media sources likes to play up anything they can get their hands on, so that they can earn good ratings. Illegal immigration has become a big issue here in America, but right now we don't have a good handle on it, nor are we taking care of it properly. It was to listen to all the men and women interviewed as they spoke of the lost opportunity thanks to the US. The US constantly blames the illegal immigrants for problems, when the US was the one who started all of this by taking the food markets away from people in Mexico. Illegal immigration is a very sensitive subject here in the US, and it's going to be a while before things begin to straighten out.
