Immigrants: The Last Shade of American Freedom

Milton 2022-03-26 09:01:15

If I only watched the first half of the film, I should give it five stars. If nothing else, the sharp speeches for 911, the immigration officials who broke up the family and even let their mothers slaughter the border, the corrupt flesh trade, the ignorant and even degenerate young generation... Such a ruthless attack on the old beauty To the extent that people all over the world clapped and cheered myself, at least it shows that the freedom of speech in the United States is not a vain name, which must have been harmonized in China long ago.

As a result, the second half of the story seems to have changed. All the unjust cases were brought to light, all the bad guys were imprisoned, all the intermediaries found their conscience, all the good people were rewarded with kindness, justice was served, conscience was awakened, and sins were redeemed. , Overnight, America was at peace again. I wonder if it is to win a better distribution in the United States, so as not to make the American audience too embarrassed and pessimistic? Anyway, the movie has compromised, the kind deeds of the good people in the United States are slow motion, the American national anthem is sung by black people into the blues, the echoing oath is so beautiful that it is almost MTV, it is almost a halo on the head, wings behind it, let it go People think of the main theme of my Celestial Dynasty, but now there is a question mark on freedom of speech, hypocritical flattery, and five stars are definitely not given.

However, the rampant gangs, violence, official corruption, bad social atmosphere, serious racial discrimination and other issues revealed in the film are enough to make those potential immigrants who watch this film all over the world disappointed in the United States, not to mention that the United States is now in the midst of the economic crisis. Swine flu, avoid it.

Not to mention those by-products, just on the topic of immigration, it has already hit the dead end of the United States - the so-called "freedom, equality, fraternity", the so-called "human rights", which are only internal, but open to the outside world. Market, plundering of resources, political coercion, exporting ideology. The only exception to the open market is that it must not open the cheap labor market. This is the last fig leaf of American-style freedom. (Of course, the core technology market is dominant and will not be opened at will)

To put it bluntly, it is just to ensure the high income of American citizens, allow the inflow of high-quality capital and high-quality labor, prohibit the inflow of cheap labor, and maintain the relative scarcity of labor in the United States, so as to increase the wages of domestic residents and create a "rich country". But it is actually very difficult to maintain this state. One is that cheap labor will flow into "black workers" through various channels, and the other is that domestic low-level investment flees to foreign production, and domestic cheap labor is unemployed. In order to solve the first problem, it is necessary to formulate immigration laws with a higher threshold to reduce the inflow of low-level labor from foreign countries, especially to prevent foreign incapable people from directly mixing in with the US green card to eat social security. To solve the second problem, the U.S. government was not proactive at first. In any case, low-level investments were made by other foreign countries. As long as the education and training system for the domestic labor force is efficient, and domestic high-value-added investment can absorb these laborers, it will be fine. Unfortunately, among the young people in the United States, there are too many low-quality people. The lazy and rogue proletariat are not fuel-efficient lamps. They organize troubles and put pressure on the government, so you have seen movies like "The Battle of Seattle". Clinton has no choice but to only Include labor standards on the WTO agenda to raise prices for foreign imports of manufactured goods and reduce employment pressures for lower-level domestic labor.

A compromise on labor standards could at least benefit American consumers. However, if the immigration issue is compromised, the beneficiaries can only be the workers in the world who are treated less than the United States, and the United States has actually become the last to pay for the consequences of poverty and war in the world until the world labor market is completely cleared and wages are fully equal. This is absolutely unacceptable to the United States. The United States' "freedom" concept has not yet reached the consciousness of "the world is a common cause", and the United States' dream of pursuing happiness has not yet reached the realm of "world harmony". Therefore, in its sensitive private parts, this fig leaf has to be pushed down, and it has to be pushed down.

    The plot is very rich, and the portrayal of various characters is also good. It's just that because of the large number of characters, Uncle Ford's role in the role is weak, and it is not so obvious as the main line. As a classmate who has seen various ways to struggle to stay abroad... Very touching film. 5 points 5 points~

    Max Brogan: What do you want me to do?

    San Pedro ICE Processing Agent: Look, it's not my problem.

    Max Brogan: All I'm asking, Stevens, is did the old man get seen to? He was sweating and shaking when I put him on the bus. He said his arm felt numb.

    San Pedro ICE Processing Agent: Jesus Christ, Brogan, everything is a humanitarian crisis with you. You've signed off on more orders of recognizance than the rest of your unit combined.

    Max Brogan: Don't give me that shit. The man's about to have a goddamn heart attack. I want him seen to.
