Great critical take Santi. I wanted to see this in theaters but was late to the party. The movie's commentary sounds a little on the nose and weepy to me but contrasting the conservative with the revolutionary does ring true as a liberal blind spot. Those same Latin Americans in a real election, when forced to choose, wanted law and order and a little less woke than the democrats have been selling.

Yet another story about illegal immigrants, that refuses to use the term 'illegal immigrants'.

Try entering China illegally, and see what happens.

Well some of them are refugees, which is not an illegal status.

Who decides what's legal? You? Me?

Prosecutors, judges and politicians decide what's legal. They're the ones who 'interpret' the law. Do you trust them? I don't.

Whenever I see this big of a non-sequitur, I have to assume you're in on the joke

In the case of refugees, there are international agreements !

What you could say about refugees at our border is that they often do not follow the international agreement which states that a refugee should go to the nearest port of call.

Absolutely. The only 'migrants' coming across the southern border who can legitimately claim refugee status are Mexicans. And they would have a hard time making their case.

People forget that Obama deported more people than Trump has. People tend to allow themselves to believe whatever the MSM want them to believe. And the MSM are not dedicated to truth.
