The story of illegal immigration is bound to be painful, and the road to better life is always full of thorns, no matter what the outcome. A few moments in this film can touch people's hearts. Anita's sentence "Everything's gonna change. That's why we came here, right" is the best footnote, underlining the word "dream" heavily. What is Aemrican Dream? In this world where people are born unequal, when opportunities are inherently impossible for everyone to be equal, America, which is clamoring for freedom, can only choose the same heavy silence in front of these helpless illegal immigrants. How can we bridge this gap? Apa climbed to the high palm trees and looked at the beautiful downtown of Los Angeles, "It's a beautiful view." This is the simplest and most beautiful exclamation he can send out in front of his dream, the prosperity that can be seen In the city center, there are many high-rise buildings, and the floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the gorgeous sunlight. This is the first time the American Dream has appeared in front of apa in the film. After years of hard work, for my family and myself, maybe I just hope that one day I can no longer look away. The two stole the car and rushed through the cordon. The security guard raised his pistol and pointed it at Apa. Apa didn't change his face and stepped on the accelerator, but he slowly stopped in front of the police's loudspeaker. How did the balance of right and wrong tilt in his heart? The lawyer who claimed to be from an NGO said to him word by word "though it's quicker and easier to reenter", which is how sympathetic to this group of people. Sometimes I am confused, why is illegal and human beings connected, so how should the law be enacted? What power is greater than protecting the dignity of the individual? After exploring layer by layer, we finally found that what separates national borders is unequal distribution of resources and protects vested interests, which is no different from domestic inequality. A sigh. Apa finally said to his son "I want you to be anything you want to be." I hope that one day a Mexican dad can say this to his son in Mexico.
