"It is about a Mexican immigrant overcoming the obstacles of a racist society to became the first 'migrant farm worker' to go into space."

"Despite his qualifications, he is relegated to the copy room and mistaken for the janitor. That changes when he makes a breakthrough that all of his colleagues miss."
See, those invaders that are coming over the border in masses are future rocket scientist and astronauts. We need them all to "help conquer" the Russians.
That’s a lie. Jose’ Jimenez was the first Mexican into space.
For those who weren't around for that historic moment.
Why hasn’t his native country sent astronauts to space, hmmm.
I like a good rags to riches story but don’t preach to me about the perceived inequalities and and systemic racism crap.
The movie was heavy with that.
Um... we are supposed to believe that an illegal alien is, in fact, a rocket scientist?
No.
Mexicans who receive doctoral degrees in rocket science (or any other STEM field) can apply for a US visa and probably will be granted it. Mexican universities are just as good as US universities. A recipient of an undergraduate degree at a Mexican university can apply to graduate school in the US, as well. And this person, too, can apply for a permanent resident visa after graduation.
However, in granting that visa, the US is committing a moral sin by contributing to the “brain drain” of a country that desperately needs its intelligent people to move that country forward. We do that to quite a few third world countries. They send their best and brightest to us for education and instead of sending them back, we allow them to stay. So their countries lose their best and brightest and never advance as a result.
He was not a migrant farm worker. He has a MS in Electrical Engineering and is an experienced pilot.
Already done...recall the true story of the 3 black women who hand cal ulated the space mission orbits.
One became high ranking naval officer.
Another became director of naval computing using the first IBM mainframe.
Last a ended up as a university prof of mathematics.
“their countries lose their best and brightest and never advance as a result.”
You are confusing cause and effect.
In most third world countries the brightest folks will end up with their heads on sticks if they hang around long enough...
THE BS is getting higher & wider
It’s an Amazon movie, no theatrical release. Not exactly a blockbuster. And it actually did happen.
I hear the space immigrant went into law enforcement.

Sheriff’s deputy caught with 520,000 fentanyl pills
Jorge Oceguera-Rocha was middleman for Mexican cartel
Prosecutors filed two felony charges Monday against a Riverside County sheriff’s deputy accused of carrying more than 100 pounds of fentanyl in his vehicle. They also alleged for the first time that he had likely ties to a Mexican drug cartel.
Jorge Oceguera-Rocha, 25, was charged with one felony count each of possessing fentanyl for sale and transporting narcotics. He’s also accused of being armed with a loaded firearm during a drug offense, which could get him a longer sentence if convicted.
Oceguera-Rocha, who resigned after being pulled over and arrested Sept. 17, appeared in court in Banning on Monday and pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department filed a request to increase his bail to $5 million soon after his arrest, saying he’s a flight risk because of the possible connection to a Mexican drug organization. The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office said Monday that a judge granted that request at the time, but added that it will be reviewed during a court hearing at a future date.
Last week the sheriff’s department said in a news release that it had been investigating a drug ring when it identified one of its own employees, Oceguera-Rocha, as playing a central role in transporting narcotics in the county.
It then opened an investigation into him in September, according to an affidavit filed in court Monday along with the prior bail request. The documents include details about the investigation that had not previously been made public.
Investigators intercepted Oceguera-Rocha’s phone calls and on Sept. 16 learned he was planning to travel to an “identified narcotic stash location” in Victorville, sheriff’s department Investigator Joshua Ricard wrote in the affidavit.
At about 1 p.m. that day, investigators saw Oceguera-Rocha driving near Banning and a couple hours later spotted him again in San Bernardino County. At around 3 p.m., Oceguera-Rocha arrived at a home in Victorville, where he made a phone call to a family member, Ricard wrote. Oceguera-Rocha entered the garage of the home and about 10 minutes later emerged, according to the affidavit.
Investigators followed him as he drove back to Banning, and as he neared Calimesa, a “narcotics detection interdiction deputy conducted a traffic stop” near the Oak Valley exit of I-10, Ricard wrote, adding that a trained dog alerted to the likely presence of narcotics in the vehicle.
I almost never see a movie with a minority lead because it will be full of SJ and diversity BS.
I blackslide however to see Equalizer 3.
“recall the true story”
Lol.
Dig deeper—the lies are layered on more lies with this myth-making.
And some people believe Wakanda is real.................
we have always benefited from the brain drain from other countries
i dont think that is what is happening at the border
there are 2 billion poor people in the world
i am sure we can find room for them all
“Already done...recall the true story of the 3 black women who hand cal ulated the space mission orbits.”
True story???
That would be impossible since, in people of their age group, they were all denied the possiblility of higher education.
However, I don’t believe it is a true story. Too many people were involved and intertwined for that to be seperated out.
