Earlier today, the pro-illegal immigration movie "Made in L.A." was screened on Capitol Hill for various politicians and others; a list is at [1]. Not only were those who are public servants wasting time watching movies on the U.S.'s dime, but the further involvement of PBS cranks it up a notch:

Senior Vice President of Television Content at the Corporation For Public Broadcasting Ted Garcia highlighted the story and mission of Made in L.A. and acknowledged the many partners that came together to make the film possible: "Made in L.A. highlights some of the reasons why public service media is so crucial... I'm so pleased that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through our support of ITVS, P.O.V. and Latino Public Broadcasting has played a role in ensuring that this story would be told."

Has the CPB ever spent money on a documentary made by those who support the enforcement of our laws or the screening at the Capitol of such a film? The filmmakers are engaged in a "May Day Community Screening Campaign" and this screening is clearly part of that campaign, putting PBS/CPB on the side of advocating against enforcement of our immigration laws.

[1] From pbs.org/pov/blog/2009/04/made_in_la_screens_on_capitol.html, those there included: "Filmmakers Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar"; Reps. Diane Watson and Luis Gutierrez; Frank Sharry of America’s Voice; Bill Mefford, "director of Civil and Human Rights for the United Methodist Church and a leader of the Interfaith Immigration Coalition, and Angela Kelley, director of the Immigration Policy Center at the American Immigration Law Foundation; "Sally Jo Fifer, president and CEO of ITVS. Simon Kilmurry, executive director of P.O.V., was also in attendance."
