Immigrants from around the world enter Los Angeles every day, with hopeful visions of a better life, but little notion of what that life may cost.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

In this movie all of the illegals are good. Law enforcement is bad. American bourder policy is unjust and the USA treat illegals terribly unfairly. This film screams political agenda with its heavy-handed, one-sided message that buries a potentially fair story..

this movie deals with a very sensitive subject to me,, illegal aliens and border crossings,, I will try and leave personal feelings out of it long enough to give a review.. Harisson ford plays a Border Patrol agent, his job is to stop the flow of illegal aliens crossing the border every single day.. also in the picture we have Ray Liotta and Ashley Judd, both who were very good, as our story progresses we see many different characters throughout the movie,, some get caught trying to cross over the border, and some make it,, Ray Liotta's character a bit shady he makes a deal with one of the pretty girls he busted, in order for her to get a green card,, she has to keep having sex with him. Harisson Ford meanwhile does something i'm sure a real life border patrol offieer wouldn't do,, he hides a family a starts try ing to help them stay in the country till they can get approved for a visa,, there are many pros and cons to this movie,, I liked the movie because it did present how things are dealth with at the Border Crossing,, and all of the bureaucracy that happens,,

Wow, this really shows the worst of real-life situations and the total insanity that is the U.S. immigration system. It hit me at a core of my personal and religious beliefs that spoke loud and clear, that the whole idea of immigration and nationalism is insane. And I did study psychology and I mean insane, right up there with delusional schizophrenia.I see now, that nationalism is the worst sickness to ever be inflicted upon the planet. It is truly a mental illness by all definitions of the word. I would never support the INS. What a bunch of lost people, breaking all the higher laws of human rights and going against the will of God.This is pure pure pure insanity. When will people wake up? Loved the film, because it so clearly showed what a bunch of crazy insane people the human race is. Wake up! National sovereignty is insanity. Sovereignty should be only at the individual level, where it only logically deserves to be.
