I made this video about my friend, Melquiades, an illegal immigrant from Mexico. I interviewed him in NY before his trip home, and then followed him to his hometown in Santa Ana Teloxtoc, along with my friend Raquel.
My intention for this video is to show the human side of the illegal immigration issue, as my friend tells his story. The people coming here are often talked about in the news as some sort of viral infestation, which is obviously unfair because this is a human issue.
We're all immigrants here. . .

  • Exactly, Americans can't work for 2 bucks a day. How about you just hire Americans and get rid of illegals and not have anything to worry about? Patriotism over profit...

  • if they paid taxes and were paid minimum wage it would completely defeat the purpose of them being here. They have these jobs now because they will work for less than Americans.
