I came to this video looking for a good example of why our immigration system needs to be reformed, and I have to admit, that if this is movie, documentary or so, I would pay to watch how we americans whine and try to dirty some one else's image just cuz we think is the right thing to do, sorry, but I found all 5 clips I watched from your documentary, offensive!

@SantosRegal thanks for the comment - can you explain what you found offensive? Keep in mind this is only HALF the story you are seeing here...

Um... didn't most of the European immigrants come for economic reasons? Even in colonial times, they came as indentured servants trying to avoid debtor's prisons. During the industrial revolution, Eastern Europe was hurting. They couldn't compete with cheap, mass-produced products from more advanced countries, so they immigrated and worked poorly paid factory and mining jobs. We hear about the Pilgrims and other people who wanted rights because they make good stories. But they weren't the norm.

@dougalsii very good point douglas - thanks for the comment!

@Harrymfink actually they do. But they also come in from all over. Before you think you know something check it out. I don't question their intentions but I question their methods. Illegal is illegal. Not very smart if you think that they wouldn't. And not all Mexican immigrants are illegal. And watch your mouth.

the minute men are NOT ..vigilantes.

[Harrymfink]

Soo... Terrorists are going to sneak into America the same way Mexican immigrants do? Idiot. And you get a hard on talking about American freedom to choose from 100 different cereals, but then say if an immigrant family is coming here to have a sustainable means of living you question their intentions and would deny them access? Fuck you scum.

dougalsii: if every oppressed citizen of Mexico City picked up a baseball sized rock and attacked the corrupt gov't. simultaneously they'd over-throw it in a matter of days. corrupt gov'ts. all over the world are the people who cause human suffering. the USA can't become a refuge for all oppressed people. we've got plenty of our own problems here from massive debt to unemployment.

the tyrants that hold people down have got to be overthrown. criminals from everywhere enter from the south!

@jvarela965 The Federal Government is irresposible for the border security at best.

These minutemen are nothing but vigalantes and they need to be stopped. the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is responsible for border security.
