Living Undocumented

I want to address all the haters on here before I give an ACTUAL review. It's clear that many of you either didn't actually watch the series or you just don't comprehend the majority of the issues these people have been through. Also, if even a quarter of undocumented adults were to leave the US, our economy will utterly collapse. This isn't debatable.

Now, moving along, I found that the narrative was well thought-out and handled skillfully. The point of almost any documentary is to inform and/or educate, and this documentary didn't disappoint in that area. It certainly educated me on some issues I was not aware of previously. I also felt the camera work was exceptional, as was the editing. I highly recommend this series.

What makes America great is all the different ethnicities and backgrounds. For those that say my parents came in legally in the 1900's the process was not the same as today, and most were coming from Europeans countries. If you came thru Ellis Island less than 2% were returned. Imagine if the roles were reversed. What we need to do as a nation is fix our immigration system/law instead of criminalize immigrants. This were real people affected in different ways by a broken system. Not every Italian is in the MOB, Not every Mexican is a criminal. The same administration that created this propaganda are in their own mess. KARMA

Let me just say that this was a fantastic documentary. It is so sad to read such mean and unkind words from people. So much hate, so much ugliness. After watching the film if you don't have compassion for these people or you don't feel sad and angry at what this government is doing to these families, I feel sorry for you. I don't agree that everyone should get asylum, or should be able to just be able to cross the border and become US citizens, but these people have been in this country for YEARS, working and living and contributing to the economy, raising kids just like you and I, maybe even better than some of us " legal US citizens " and now after 15-20 years the government decides to deport them, tear apart families, and for what? Because they came to the country illegally so many years ago in fear for their lives??? I can tell you that there are many US citizens who should be deported for being terrible people in general!!! What has happened to the country I have grown up in? We are all to quick to hate and judge people. I think more people need to look in the mirror and pray for the person looking back at them. Pray that their hearts can be more open to kindness and compassion.

To the one reviewer who wrote: "unless you are a native american you are an immigrant. " Wrong. So called "Native Americans" are also all the descendants of immigrants. They didn't spring from the soil.

The issue is ILLEGAL ALIENS. Of course many illegal aliens are sympathetic to some degree. So what? If I want to go live in your house, or property illegally, does me being sympathetic mean you have to accept it?

And look at the supposed issue of "dividing families." By this series makers' logic any family unit -- even a fake one -- ie straw marriage, people claiming to be children of parents who are not related etc -- getting one member of a family illegally in, means the US now has to take a dozen other members of that family? That is absurd and means we would be multiplying by ten-fold the number of illegals, and rewarding them, while penalizing people who waited in line for a legal spot!

It is the open borders people of the ilk who made this series who are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of illegal aliens and attempted illegal aliens per year. They keep sending out the message to these people that if they get a toe in it will be a free ride to legal status -- and that is driving more and more people to try it.

The makers of this series ought to be ashamed of themselves. They typically are the type who want cheaper lawn care, or reduced wages for construction work, farm work, or other work, caused by floods of illegals, which drive down the wages of people who are here legally.

First off, I cannot believe this has such a low review... it makes me even more devastated to see the inhumanity in some of the reviews which perpetuates the utter ignorance we are living in, in this country, TODAY.

If you actually watched this and can continue to say it's "propaganda" than I sincerely believe you know nothing of the human condition. All I saw while watching this was other people JUST like me minus the advantage of being born in this country. I saw moms, dads, sons, and daughters striving for a chance at real freedom. Sacrificing so their children and future children's children can have a safer, healthier, and more care free life. If you legit can still be so callous and removed after watching and experiencing what I just did than there is nothing left I have to say to you and I feel sorry for you.

Thank you Selena Gomez for this.
