"The Least of These" movie: ACLU pro-illegal immigration propaganda

The American Civil Liberties Union - a group that's directly collaborating with the Mexican government - is promoting (blog.aclu.org/2009/03/16/the-least-of-these-documents-aclu-lawsuit) a new documentary called "The Least of These" about conditions at the Hutto immigration detention center in Texas. The film's main conceit is faulty: those held in the detention center are not the "least powerful among us" (theleastofthese-film.com). Those "least powerful" people have some awfully powerful friends: the ACLU, the MSM, and dozens of other organizations that rush to take their side and oppose those who want our laws enforced.

And, the goal of the movie isn't simply to point out problems at the center and encourage minor reforms to ensure that detainees are held according to our laws or that our laws are changed in minor ways to ensure proper detention. The goal of the movie is to discourage immigration enforcement and encourage comprehensive immigration reform. The latter would lead to more illegal immigration, and the ACLU and their friends would simply come up with a new way to try to help that continue.

Per theleastofthese-film.com/about:

The film leads viewers to consider how core American rights and values - presumption of innocence, the protection of children, upholding the family structure as the basic unit of civil society, and America as a refuge of last resort - should apply to immigrants, particularly children.

It's "immigrants" who should be encouraged to "uphold the family structure as the basic unit of civil society". Our laws cannot be blamed for the bad choices that people make completely of their own volition, and it's horrific public policy to enable people to make bad choices. And, the great majority of those held at the Center are probably simply economic refugees; the proper public policy is to encourage them to reman home and reform their own societies.

As for the ACLU's goals:

We hope that the film brings to the forefront the need for practical, realistic immigration policy, not draconian methods that are harming vulnerable kids.

Those involved are: Jason Tyrrell of IndiePix, Marcy Garriott (Producer), Rebecca Bernhardt and Vanita Gupta of the ACLU, Barbara Hines of the University of Texas School of Law, Michelle Brane of the Womens Refugee Commission (linked to minor celebs: womensrefugeecommission.org/about/board). The documentary is premiering today at the 2009 South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW).

Comments

Had the anonymous author bothered to watch the film, he/she/it would have realized what an unfounded pile of horseshit this "review" is - there is nothing, absolutely nothing, in the film that could be construed as "pro illegal immigration", and in fact the film is explicit in stating that the government only started family detention because of a real problem with immigrants not showing up for their immigration hearings. Make your arguments based on facts, not your imagination, and grow a set and identify yourself if you feel so strongly about the film (just like you identified the people who had the courage to make the film).

The producers of this propoganda piece are also associated with currency-manipulator George Soros, and have enough moey to buy private jets (and helicopters! in the crew ) and even trips to the Space Station. So they have all the leisure in the world to hire politically-correct self-righteous lawyers to lecture you and about how laws shouldn't be inforced because it offends their superiority and their big liberal hearts. CHAD--Brave!! HAHAHA! The rich showing off for the other rich, trying to be Al Gore. I wish some liberal trying to buy activist cred would do a story about how many people in Austin and the rest of Texas get killed in car accidents with drunk, uninsured, unlicensed illegal aliens. You'd be surprised at the high number. But when you live in gated communities, you don't worry about things like that.
