Pelicula de la Inmigracion

On Thursday of last week I decided to go watch a film in Spanish on immigration. I went for the following two reasons: 5 points extra credit in my spanish class AND it knocked out one of the "beyond class" requirements for english. The movie was in Spanish but had English subtitles which made it easier to understand. In the movie, different people described their lives in Mexico and their reasons for going to the U.S. to find jobs. I can honestly say i have always been against immigration. After watching the movie, i gained an appreciation for immigrants. Many of them come to the U.S. for work in order to support their families. The economy is rough in Mexico and citizens do not get paid enough to provide for themselves, as well as their families. Towards the end of the movie, it was made clear that Mexicans are pushing for a program that would allow them to work in the U.S. for six months without any penalty and then come travel back to Mexico and stay for six months. This would benifit both the U.S. and the Mexican economies.
