      cross the border

      We can't blame or question the ruthlessness of US immigration laws when we see people who are working hard for their dreams, those who are working hard for their lives, those who are screaming for freedom, and those who are doing their best for a better life and tomorrow. , because this is for the...

      Although society is dark and politics is despicable, human beings have never given up their longing and pursuit of freedom, equality, fraternity and self-esteem.

      There have been movies like Crash, Fast Food Empire, and Babel. And crossing the border mainly turns the perspective to illegal immigrants in the United States. Each character experiences different challenges. In my opinion no one deserves sympathy or blame. The problem is the immigration system in the US, and I don't like the nudity in it. It's totally unnecessary,,

    Crossing Over quotes

    • Max Brogan: I've never been invited to a shunning before. What is this? Something you guys brought over with you?

      Zahra Baraheri: I didn't bring it, I was born here. I'm the only one in this family who's an actual American.

    • Claire Sheperd: No - you're not hearing me. This is what you need to understand, okay? When I come into one of these fleabag rooms, I switch off. You might as well be making it with a rubber fuck doll, because she'd be giving you more emotion than you'll ever get from me. When I get home, I'm an hour in the shower getting clean of you. That is the extent of it, that is as real as it's ever going to get between us. Is that clear enough?
