Illegal

This is a beautiful short film by John X. Carey on the plight of undocumented kids who have grown up in America, living day by day with the fear that some casual contact with the police – a traffic ticket or a traffic stop – could lead to deportation to their parent’s country of origin. To his great credit, President Obama recently called a halt to automatic deportation of people brought to this country as children, but we still await a comprehensive immigration reform, which seems unlikely to occur in this political climate.
