Immigration Nation

Before focusing on the content of the series, I think everybody will agree on the slick cinematography and the professional editing of the footage.

At times, one would have the impression watching a movie.

Only, these are not actors but real people.

As far as the subject of the series is concerned, we may all have our different opinions about this.

ICE, as an entity, an organisation to track and trace illegal criminals surely has it's legit right of existing, and should not be abolished in my opinion.

But when injustice becomes law, it is time to rethink what the priorities are.

This is what this series is all about.

Regardless of the "this is my job, this is what I am paid for" approach from Icers , the bigger moral picture should always remain the compass as to the execution of one's job.

This series will create a lot of tremors and a lot of uneasy questions will be asked.

I hope that this masterpiece of journalism, will finally result in a ( slightly ) better living environment for all, Immigrants and Ice Officers alike.

A Must see.

It's very disturbing to see some ICE officers taking pleasures in seeing other human being being separated from their families. I wonder how could they sleep at night. I have no problem seeing people doing their job with prides but these ICE officers are inhuman. No empathy and sympathy at all. What kind of environments they grew up in. I am curious.

I had heard this was an anti-ICE series but I didn't get that sense at all. It certainly delved into some controversial policies, but those aren't created by the ICE employees. For the most part, I see ICE agents doing their jobs and in a respectful and diligent manner. Any errant comment can be taken out of context.

As for the politicians, the series tries to show all sides, warts and all. Trump and his aides are certainly disingenuous in their about face on family separations. However, the "Abolish ICE" crowd comes off as unrealistic. Whatever the agency is called, there is still going to be a need to enforce immigration laws.

Let the ICE agents, the border patrol, the immigration judges, and the sheriffs speak for themselves.

If you can watch this whole series and still support the existence of ICE or our immigration courts, then you have no soul. We have federal marshals to conduct arrests on fugitives, and we have a judicial court system that should provide these people due process. What's the harm in a man escaping certain death from his own country and working here, doing a job that none of you would want to do? Why are we deporting veterans for minor drug offenses like marijuana? Veterans are prescribed marijuana in many states for pain and other conditions, yet this guy gets deported for pleading guilty to probation?

If this is considered propaganda by Trump supporters, then your brain is broken.

I 'may' try to watch this documentary another time but within the first 15 minutes I was so disgusted I had to stop. What kind of people actually make conscious decisions to do this type of 'work'? I had read that it was a 'fair' depiction of both sides but I didn't see one 'officer' who struck me as anything but horrible. With all that is going on right now probably better to put off watching despicable people carrying out dispicable direction from a dispicable president.
