1 This film should be viewed in the larger context. Miguel represents most of the Mexicans (simple, honest and hard-working), and Roy represents the American people (more neutral to Mexicans). Because the United States makes a lot of money, many people have to make a fortune even if they leave their hometowns. Americans are actually willing to accept Mexicans. From the film, livy encounters stowaways who are willing to help but do not call the police, and the locals are willing to hire Mexicans to work. .
2 But smuggling will cause social problems, not only for Mexicans but also for Americans. Mexican stowaways will be robbed and raped by smugglers, Americans will be robbed by Mexicans, etc. This film is actually very opposed to smuggling. , so there are these scenes.
3 This film also reflects the importance of human rights in Mexico, because some Americans will take pleasure in shooting stowaways, but at the end of the film, the messenger of justice (American, huh) caught the shooter, proving that the director is paying attention human rights.
4 This film also satirizes some American police officers, who made deals with smugglers to allow people to smuggle in successfully. These police officers also became accomplices for the smugglers to be ransacked by their tongues. At the same time, the American police put all the blame on the Mexican stowaways. For example, after the murder happened, ROY called the police to investigate, but the police did not investigate at all, and wanted to make a conclusion as soon as possible.
5 But in general, this film still focuses on human rights, and at the end of the film, ROY said to Miguel, you can come and fix the fence for me, you can just fix it there, don’t cross the border (don’t smuggle any more) !), to prove that the film is against smuggling, see point 2 for the reason. At the same time, the agreement between ROY and Miguel actually implies that Mexican laborers should be given various rights, it is more convenient for them to come to the United States to work, and to solve various immigration problems. Only in this way, Mexicans do not need to smuggle, they can come to work, and they can let Those trampled fences are really being repaired.
