We watched a documentary in my geography class today on illegal immigration into the U.S. from Mexico. It was called "Crossing Arizona", and I am BEGGING you to take an hour and half out of your life to watch it, whether you're liberal or conservative or just have no opinion on illegal immigration. I'm not trying to "convert" anybody, I just think it's so incredibly necessary for us to take the time to think about the human implications of immigration policies on both sides, no matter what conclusions of views you're going to walk away with. I just want people to think about this.
I don't think it's available online anywhere (Netflix has it, but not on instant play), but try your school library. I know mine has an impressive stash of documentaries. I know it's midterms time, but it's not a long movie. If/when you do watch it, please send me a facebook message or something and let me know what you think. Even if you think it's the worst way you've ever wasted your time, I'd still like to know your opinion.
