In America is an amazing film about a family that immigrates from Ireland to the States.
Djimon Hounsou won an Oscar for his role in it.

"The Terminal" tells the story of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a visitor to New York from Eastern Europe, whose homeland erupts in a fiery coup while he is in the air en route to America. Stranded at Kennedy Airport with a passport from nowhere, he is unauthorized to actually enter the United States and must improvise his days and nights in the terminal’s international transit lounge until the war at home is over.
As the weeks and months stretch on, Viktor finds the compressed universe of the terminal to be a richly complex world of absurdity, generosity, ambition, amusement, status, serendipity and even romance with a beautiful flight attendant named Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). But Viktor has long worn out his welcome with airport official Frank Dixon, who considers him a bureaucratic glitch, a problem he cannot control but wants desperately to erase.

A great movie I saw in a Latino Politics class is "A day without a Mexican." It talks about how the United States would be for 24 hours if all Mexicans vanished.

A day without mexicans is awesome. It is sold as a pseudo comedy but in fact, it's message is loud and clear!
