A Better Life (2011)
Good movie...but guess what...still skirting the law that others must follow

Yes, these are human beings..with blood and soul, and they have every right to live and have a good life.

But there are laws for a reason, there's a reason Canada won't let people with a dui on their driving record into the country: they have a sovereign right and duty to protect the people who already live there.

Same goes for the United States. Who is crossing the border with what disease? Which is a rapist, a murderer or even a pedophile, an alcoholic that may drink and drive and kill someone? YOU DON'T know. YOU have to go through a drug test and background check to be employed, the illegal immigrants don't. We cannot just throw our doors open, because any huge unnatural inflation does damage to the environment, the economy (see hospital estimates for treating illegals in California alone) and much more.

With that said, the movie was a solid endeavor and the primary actors did a fantastic job, much better than some other 'actors' and so-called movies currently at the theater. I recommend the movie to others, but I completely disagree with the political message weaved throughout.
