At a time when America is in crisis, one man ventures to the southern border of Mexico in a big blue bus to discover the truth about illegal immigration. Filmmaker Chris Burgard’s movie is a striking and awakening vision of the true immigration story on our southern border. "Border" is a fresh and controversial documentary that takes a firsthand look at America’s failure to secure its borders and at regular citizens trying to take control again.
"Border" takes you on a journey from state to state and exposes a failed system and a failed policy who few dare to unveil. Burgard’s courageous journey includes powerful footage in the border crossing regions of America where dead bodies, armed Mexican military incursions, “rape trees” and drug traffickers are commonplace. Discover what it is like to feel “like an American again.”

Cochise County USA - Cries from the Border
"Mercedes Maharis awoke at 11 p.m. to the roar of a Border Patrol helicopter hovering outside her living room here, two miles north of the Mexican border. It was pitch black outside. The chopper blades pounded so hard that her windows shook as if under artillery bombardment. She opened the door and heard people screaming and running as the chopper herded them off the hill toward three Border Patrol trucks below."
"In her nightgown, shaking with fear, Ms. Maharis grabbed her camera and filmed the scene. "I had to film it because nobody would believe it," says Ms. Maharis, 63, a self-described Indiana farm girl. But she also acted out of instinct. Ms. Maharis is a filmmaker, and she incorporated images from that night into a documentary called "Cochise County USA, Cries From the Border," an account of how the ongoing invasion from Mexico has impacted life in one border county."
"Ms. Maharis wanted residents to speak for themselves in describing home break-ins, vandalism, horrible traffic accidents and more..."
Thanks for the post

And there it is...
But I am SOOOOOOO tired of this fence crap.
I want a WALL; 2,000 miles long, 20 feet high and 20 feet thick with 240 VAC, remote .50 BMG /Mk 19 gun towers every 1,000 yards and a mile deep minefield.
We will be lucky to get this:
