It is a reality show by Morgan Spurlock who did 'Super-Size Me'. They picked a Minute-Man who was dead set against illegal immigrants to live with a family of illegal immigrants for 30 days to see what would happen.
This guy lived in a one bedroom apt with an illegal Mexican family of like 7 people. He worked with the father and collected cans with the mother and played golf with the daughter. He even went to Mexico to visit the family that this family left behind and saw the house they used to live in before they came here illegally.
Basically, the man grew to really like this family and changed his feeling towards illegal immigrants. While watching the show I grew to like the family and feel sorry for them as well, but it did not change my feelings that illegal immigration was wrong and would bring down this country if it got out of hand. The mother who moved here like 10 years or so ago made no attempt at all to speak English, not even simple words like hello or yes.

This show is a shameless attempt to garner sympathy for people who don't neccessarily deserve it. Did you see the trailer for the episode where he does 30 days in jail to see what its like there? Am I supposed to feel sorry for somone in prison? Here's an easy solution...DON'T COMMIT CRIMES.
That one girl in last nights episode, had applied to friggin PRINCETON for college!!! On a scholarship no less!
Guess who would have paid for that? Not her, not her family.
I felt bad for their situation, but they put themselves in that situation. Besides, they showed where and how they used to live in Mexico, and they have it 10 times better now.

I watched it, that minute man was embarrassing because he did not no the history of America, the girl asked him about the people that first came to America weren't they immigrants and they were not legal and the man said they were because we owned it. or the British owned it already, Dam he was dumb, I wish they would have picked someone that new the history of this country. I guess he didn't learn in school. And the mother has been here for 12 years and she can't speak one word of English, that proves they don't care about assimilation to this country. The mother and the father are young enough to learn English.

There are two sides to this issue..the emotional and the legal. In order to preserve our nation, we must focus on the legal. If we don't, we will soon become a nation with no rules and the result will be chaos.
As for those who keep posting words from the Statue of Liberty, many of you are not citizens. If you want the illegals, they are yours. We are not hypocritical, we are exhausted from trying to carry the world on our shoulders. We quit.

This is a reality of life. You can be against some group but, when you get to know an individual within that group, you become fond of the individual but are still against the group. Any time you get to know someone on a personal level, you begin to care about THAT person. It doesn't change you overall opinion.
