Can the border be redrawn?

Water flows down, and people go up.

Who wouldn't want to go to a better country if they paid the same amount of labor but with a different standard of living?

But who would want to emigrate if they were not able to survive in their original home country?

Society is stratified. We need not only knowledgeable doctors and lawyers, but also laundry workers and sanitation workers who are willing to do labor services. Therefore, it is not only necessary to introduce high-tech talents with innovative ability, but also to introduce a large number of laborers during the busy agricultural season. Immigration policy is designed to accommodate these different needs.

The scene of the naturalization oath at the end of the film reminds me a lot.

If the countries in the world are not divided by ethnic groups, but by different religious beliefs or different political tendencies, each country has its own different ideas and principles. You join this country and are willing to work and live in this country , you must agree with its ideas and swear allegiance to this country, or leave it and move to a country you like.

Regardless of Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, Nazi national socialism, Keynesian state capitalism, Hayek's free market economy, or Soviet communism, they all do their own social experiments in certain regions, and let the people themselves Come vote with your feet. Then, according to pre-established rules, when the proportion of population to land falls below a certain value, the country can be declared natural demise.

Hahaha! How nice!

    Through the stories of several characters to explore the US immigration policy, there are traces of imitating the similar theme film "Crash" in previous years, but it is worse than "Crash" and has no breakthrough. The reflection on the US immigration policy is worthy of recognition. For a US green card, some people died, some were imprisoned, some were deported, and of course some people got their wish.
