Demonizing you in South DAK
stand by you
PETE back to you,
PETE that shooting them in the
legs is one of
looking at a topic. Hollywood
avoids negative consequences of
the illegal immigration.
The pillar of community was
killed by a man deported at
least twice
this action of my son.
We are destroyed forever
one qualified for assistance,
zip code or a county.
This is excuse, after excuse,
im, leaving
inaudible
reporter our next guest. A
registered Democrat who made the
film said the experience was
eye opening.
She didnt predict how much it
would change her own views on
the issue.
Joining me now with more is
Numrada.
Thank you very much for being
here.
You wanted to get the ground
truth of illegal immigration.
You thought you had one view
you came out with a different
one.
What did you see
good morning PETE?
I actually started the film with
a very pro illegal immigration.
Pro caravan standpoint.
I did a about face in the film
and takeaway from the film. For
me at this point is that illegal
immigration is a really bad idea,
no matter what side of the
border youre on
whether youre, a migrant or you
are american,
it needs to be stopped.
It takes lives.
It is a terrible, terrible
practice and Americans should be
out in droves, stopping it not
trying to stop someone who is
stopping wit, which is why
President Trump is trying to
build the wall.
Will that is amazing?
Most people setting out on a
project like this will use
confirmation bias to set about
proving their preexisting
viewpoint.
What evidence did you see that
you made that made? You believe
this is a practice that has to
stop
well, we featured four
stories in the film and two of
the stories are migrants, workers
that come to the? U dot s and what
happens with them.
So we followed their stories and
the other two are stories of
Americans who had a very more
than negative.
One of them actually died as a
result of illegal immigration,
and I think that the one
theyre all very important
stories.
All of these people represent a
diaspora of the immigrants and
as well as recipients that does
not have a good experience with
illegal immigration at all,
but I think the ones with the
6 year old, the story I started
following initially. There was
no reason for that child to be
on that desert. On the:
U Dot S Mexico border Dehigh, it
dad dying.
I was talking to someone
yesterday in an interview im, a
woman of color.
You can tell a Democrat and
when the squad started with
Alexandria, Ocasio Cortez and
Rashida Tlaib Ilhan Omar wow,
you have more people like me in
the party.
This is this good,
and but when I saw Rashida Tlaib
crying over the mothers and
daughters being separated at the
border and then when I traveled
the world- and I actually found
out the truth, I cant imagine
why Rashid today or Ilhan would
not have done that research.
Surely they know what is going
on?
If you are there, you looked at
some of these things. It is not
rocket science,
it is evidence
it is in your face.
You can see that the people who
are coming to our border are not,
for the most part persecuted.
There is no violence,
not even poverty, because really impoverished cant make it to
impoverished cant, make it to our borders.
