DVD Reviews of Cochise County USA - Cries from the Border (2005)
DVD Review: Misses the root of the problem.
Summary: 2 Stars
The way the issue of unauthorized immigration is being framed is an intentional misdirection. The corporatocracy that wrote the devastating "free" trade policies has been invading the Global South for years The Corporation. The economic refugee crisis that has ensued from NAFTA and privatization schemes is a symptom of the root problem that needs to be addressed with Fair Trade Brewing Justice: Fair Trade Coffee, Sustainability, and Survival, resistance to neoliberalism The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, protection for local economies Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism, and respect for the rights of campesinos and indigenous communities The Fourth World War.
The elite are pitting working class people against each other, and fostering ultranationalism to make money off of the militarization of the border. Boeing, Northrop Grumman and other weapons makers have received massive amounts of our tax dollars (Why We Fight) to build the hi-tech wall that many immigrants will simply fly over. That is, people with work and travel visas will simply overstay their visas, as almost half of "illegals" have been doing already.
Keeping an army of undocumented laborers makes them vulnerable to punishment when they try to organize and bring up wages in various sectors of the economy; as some migrant workers are trying to do Organizing Immigrants: The Challenge for Unions in Contemporary California (ILR Press books).
As corporate executives work together across borders and nationalities, the general public needs to do the same. It's time to transform corporate globalization into a globalization of democracy.

See also Bob Kincaid's radio show for a more nuanced discussion of this and other issues, and beware of emotionally potent oversimplifications.
DVD Review: poor quality ... save your money!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Worse movie ever ... quality was sub standard, worse than a home video
from the 70's. CHEESEY songs ... unbearably slow, audio painful.
And on top of all that, it's biased. Poor illegal aliens, breaking all
our laws just to work. Or import drugs, prostitutes ... disgusting what they've done to our country.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!
Can I get a refund AND compensation for suffering?
Buy "Border" by film maker Chris Burgard. See the real story.
Or move to Los Angeles ... see the impact of illegals.
DVD Review: Save your money
Summary: 1 Stars
Not worth the time spent watching it. Only sound bites and clips of "interviews" with people making statements of fact with statistics they got from Lord only know where. Very one sided, even gives Rednecks a bad name.DVD Review: Shows lots of problems but still way too positive
Summary: 4 Stars
America needs to wake up and solve the problem of illegal Mexican immigration. Lots of interviewed people feel sorry about the 2,000 people that died trying to cross the border. I say, there haven't been enough deaths! Stop feeling sorry for the criminals and start deporting them. We also have to stop offering any type of free service (e.g. healthcare).DVD Review: United States in Danger!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent documentary on the current border problems facing the United States. We cannot continue this way. Decisions will have to be made in the very near future (so we may have a future), and the decisions will have to be made by all Americans for the benefit of the United States; unless, of course, you wish to go the way Rome did!!! (as in, down the tubes!!!)
