Produced by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Department of State in partnership with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, this brilliant propaganda piece plays in international airport arrival areas while foreign visitors wait to run the Customs gauntlet, getting fingerprinted, searched and verbally abused by agents of our oh-so-welcoming Government.

This video is a product of the U.S. Government in the public domain under U.S. law.

  • I think it's nice. I've lived abroad in three different countries other than the U.S. and have never been welcomed or shown a video like this. You can complain all you want but it's a nice thought and first impressions do matter. People might feel welcomed by this and if so, then it is a positive thing. Relax!

  • This video makes me so proud to be an American! America, and its people are so beautiful.

  • technically 4:05 is both Canada and the US since Niagara Falls lies on the US/Canadian border and is split down the middle with both countries owning a half

  • @MyHiOhio Last time I came through it was LAX and the people watching would've been 1000x better without the corny music playing in the background.

  • Sorry HomelandStupidity but I think its a lovely video and if I were waiting in line to get through customs I would rather have this to watch than just watching aggitated travelers who don't understand the need for our heightened security. Thanks for sharing the video.

  • The place from which that shot was taken is on the Canadian side. Therefore, it's Canada.

  • Niagara Falls is partially in the United States!

    I don't like this video because it is very PC and trying to paint a picture that the United States is this diverse and integrated country which has some truth but a whole lot of inaccuracy.

    Welcome to the land of Liberty.

  • Yeah 4:05 is Canada.

  • It's been mentioned, but I don't care: 4:05 is the most blatant misrepresentation I've ever seen. Ever.

  • I love watching this video! Such a nice welcoming.

  • I think this is an absolutely wonderful video and I feel proud knowing this is shown to our visitors from abroad as they enter our Country! You guys can be so friggin NEGATIVE on here!

  • i like when the bear bites the fish's face. i lol'd
