Since you think I'm exaggerating, you might want to watch this film sometime:

Random land mines would be much more effective. The Coyotes always lead. From what I have read one of those big fires in Southern Calf. exposed all their cover and it is going to be a lot harder to cross now. Maybe they need to have a few more controlled border fires.

i live not too far from the border and deal with illegals frequently. i'll listen to the first hand accounts rather than an agenda based documentary.

Srsly--you should check it out, and then make your judgment. It won't kill you, I promise.

That's nice, but they're not relevant to the topic at hand, are they.

The point is that the film is agenda driven. Biased. Not proof of anything.

Just because it's on the AI site does not mean anything other than AI endorses the film.

It's a documentary made by an independant production company. Unlike Mr Magoo and Free Willy of course.

All documentaries are agenda driven. I'll bet you paid plenty of attention to the ones about the holocaust, and maybe also the ones about how brilliant it is to be in Iraq at present...blah blah blah.

Maybe they should be showing it in their home countries and not ours, you would think it would discourage them.

You will realize the irony in your statement, after you watch the friggin' movie.

OK, I'll stop shilling it for now. I just couldn't resist after Merc's last comment.

Doesn't seem to have changed much.
