Don't worry, the theme song for such a flic has already been written many years ago (by Woody Guthrie), and you can guess at the script easily enough:

Deportees (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)

Chorus:
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have your names when you ride the big aeroplane
All they will call you is, deportees

The crops are all in and the peaches are rottnin'
The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps
They're flying them back to the Mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again

Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted
Our work contract's out and we've got to move on
It's six hundred miles to the Mexican border
They chase us like outlaws, like rascals, like thieves

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos caynon
A fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills
Who are these good people all scattered like dry leaves
The radio said they were just deportees

Is this the best way we can harvest our orchards
Is this the best way we can harvest our crops
To die like dry leaves and to rot on the topsoil
And be called by no name except, deportees

I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't made a "gut-wrenching, heartbreaking" movie about this to show how, yet again, 1950s America was cruelly tearing families apart and denying people their rights. And of course, all the Democrats would be good guys trying to help the poor immigrants, and all the immigrants would be lovable, soft-spoken, gentle types with big-eyed children weeping at their feet...
