The 800 Mile Wall Trailer

The 800 Mile Wall highlights the construction of the new border walls along the U.S.-Mexico border as well as the effect on migrants trying to cross into the U.S. This powerful 90-minute film is an unflinching look at a failed U.S. border strategy that many believe has caused the death of thousands of migrants and violates fundamental human rights.

I attended a free viewing of this movie today, presented by the director, John Carlos Freys. The movie is absolutely amazing. I truly recommend everyone to watch it with an open mind and with an open heart. We are all humans. We all share the same pains, desires, and needs. So then, why have be become so desensitized? So blatantly indifferent to the pain and loss of others? It is our responsibility as a species to CARE.

the Native Americans built the Atlantic Ocean to keep out the whites, but that didn't work either...hey Gringo, I'll trade you a bottle of TeKilla for half the land

@abomb9482 ; That is a hell of a ridiculous rhetorical reasoning you presented to me. If I didn't think they were humans, i'd call them 'things'. I believe, in my last replies, I described them as "he" "him" "she" "they" "mexican", etc. You can't take my words and stretch them that thin. It doesn't give credence to your argument, it just makes it ridiculous.

@cgdonatini I challenge you to tell people what the current policy is for coming here legally. If you knew how expensive, difficult, racist and time consuming it is you might think twice before making those comments.

@arKat17 These people are human beings. By just calling them illegals makes it so much easier to detach yourself from the issue. I don't think you're a horrible human bein for having your opinion but the fact that you don't even recognize these immigrants as human beings seriously makes me question your humanity.

@760PABLO; 1) Without a wall, any illegal that crosses over to make a better life for himself I'm all for. I say give him absolutely everything a normal U.S. citizen can have, because our gov. has failed to keep them out. It's not his fault he or she can break our laws for a better life. 2) If there is a wall, and Mexicans die trying to get over it, Oh well, we have succeeded in keeping them out. If they get over, good for them. Come on in.

@cgdonatini

Just for the record, don't you think all of those illegal immigrants would LOVE to get be legalized. Sadly, it has become virtually impossible (due to extensive waiting, usually above and beyond 10 years) to wait for legalization, that is IF they qualify for legalization. Would you let your loved ones starve to death while you WAIT to be legalized? I don't think so, not when someone is desperate.

Also, most illegals are NOT criminals. The majority come to WORK.

@jodagoroable; Hey woah. Educate himself? Why? The illegals are dying when they try to cross. 1 body that drops dead in Mexico seems like 1 body that is not illegaly in the United States. This wall seems like a success to me. Go 800 mile wall!
