Border War: September Slated for Film on Crisis

 

 

 

A new film, Border War: The Battle Over Illegal Immigration, which debuts next week in Los Angeles theaters is set with little doubt to be a cross-strata point of interest. Since I haven’t seen the film, I can’t formulate an opinion about the project with respect to its production or content, so I’ll wait on that. According to Human Events Online, “The Los Angeles premiere will be on August 31, followed by theatrical premieres in Phoenix, San Diego, Nogales, Ariz., Washington, D.C., Seattle, San Francisco, Dallas and Houston.” If the film shows some success, it will no doubt enter many other markets thereafter. You may wish to not wait for it to come out on video however, since there is a remote chance that could be delayed: HEO says the publishing rights for video and broadcast were recently purchased by Genius Products, owned by two prominent leftwing Hollywood types (however, that is probably not the case – and – if the movie is poorly put together, it most certainly will go to video quickly).

 

The trailer seems to indicate that the film will address the strange friendship between unfriendly foreign interests, drug lords, human smugglers, corporate interests, and politicos in the perpetuation of the dysfunction on the border. One poignant moment in the trailer arises when a ranking member of law enforcement asks, "What would happen if a senator were killed (instead of only a law enforcement officer) by Armando Garcia?" Garcia is the illegal who deliberately shot and murdered a Los Angeles county Sheriff officer (David March) during a traffic stop and had bragged he would kill any law enforcement officer that tried to pull him over. Sadly, if (God forbid) such a heinous act against America were committed by an illegal, we probably would see a different response by some of the politicians in Washington than those we’ve heretofore seen after the vicious slayings and assaults of law enforcement and private citizen alike. The fact however is that all human life is sacred and we should be doing everything to protect it both in the US with proper border security and levels of interior enforcement and in Mexico by pressuring that regime to move away from the corruption that prevents its poor from having its property ownership safeguarded and its honest hard work, initiative, and entrepreneurship rewarded.

 

Of course the border crisis rarely brings to such vivid reality the crisis in Homeland Security it is creating as it pertains to our nation’s hospitals. Though DHS has called on US hospitals to stock up on necessary supplies and prepare for the possibility of a massive terrorist attack (or wave of attacks) or a natural disaster, they cannot because funds and resources that would go into this are being spent instead on illegal aliens. Indeed as most already know, many hospitals are having an increasingly difficult time just staying afloat.

 

The film will no doubt touch on this issue and others to one degree or another. Its timeliness two months before the November elections cannot be ignored either. We’ll also have to wait and see what impact that has, though the issue is certainly ready to be the top issue (if not among those at the top) this time around.
