That was a very good review. But thinking Republicans will go see an independent small budget film about the immigrant struggle, which humanizes a group that Republicans are hell bent on vilifying, is about as likely as a Neo-Nazi rushing out to see Schindler's List. Trust me, I live around these people, and their idea of good cinema is something like Transformers, which glorifies the military industrial complex, and treats minorities as mere comedic distractions who get killed off early.

I'd much rather see this at the theater than Transformers, but I sense I'd have to drive at least a county or two away to find it.

@joelthomaspeterson Oh shut up. In reality you guys do. But you are to ignorant and stupid to notice that =)

1. Waaaaaay too much informations and revealing pictures in the clips! Reviews are supposed to be for people who haven't seen the film yet! Don't spoil it like that!

2. He talks too fast. Sounds more like he wants to get out of here as soon as possible and just reading down something.

3. Thanks for the political inside... and for this vast generalisation of the republicans...

Sorry, but not a very good review. The movie is great, thou.

Dude im republican and believe illegals have every right to be here. Fuck You

@joelthomaspeterson Don't feel inadequate. I am sure your comments get a lot votes on the Hee Haw network (i.e. Fox News)

@alphacause

And this shit gets 59 thumbs up? Whattheflickshow must be a favorite of many self-loathing leftists.

@jsjkim

If you were fired from your construction job or you experienced wage suppression in that industry, chances are it was because of illegal aliens. If your property on the border was vandalized and trashed, chances are it was done by a bunch of illegals crossing the border. If you're out of a job because of the bad economy and you can't find a job in any of those fields you mentioned, chances are some illegal is doing it for pittance. Etc. Yeah, illegal aliens are awesome...

[joelthomaspeterson]

Oh, shut the hell up, Jonathan Kim. We don't rely on illegals to feed us or anything else useful. What we can rely on them for is (1) being criminals, (2) stealing jobs that many Americans would love to have (particularly in construction), (3) artificially suppress wages, (4) force us to press 1 for English in our own damn country, (5) bankrupt our hospitals and get on welfare, (6) and join La Raza in effort to conquer the Southwest. And that's just for starters.

@SatyreetBacchante That's great! Hey, I need to ask you a favor: I found a video today in a YouTube channel called [drduke] the video title is "Immigration and the moral right to save Europe and the West" I NEED to know what you think of it! I have many feelings, not positive, but sympathetic for some reason... thanks.
