There's some heavy advertising afoot for Under the Same Moon [La Misma Luna] - a Latin-immigration themed movie that has just been released. If Lou Dobbs had tear ducts, it's entirely possible that this movie would make him cry! YouTube.

Glorifying illegal immigration is not going to help the f@#king problem.
I, too, remember El Norte from the 1980s. It was a beautiful movie - very moving. I have no doubt that Lou Dobbs missed it.
That just seems like a mean joke.
However in the last five years, a significant number of illegal immigrants have crowded into the apartment complex two blocks away. Gang (MS-13) and other criminal activity in our once quiet little town has increased exponentially. Our schools go on lockdown a couple a times a month as they look for criminals with weapons. We've got day laborers urinating in public and blocking the sidewalks so kids can't walk to school. We've had a some murders, but carjackings, robberies, beatings, rapes and prostitution are more popular crimes.
Older people don't walk like they used to in my neighborhood. The kids don't play or ride their bikes anymore. The police cars and helicopters rushing to capture criminals don't make us feel any safer. I refuse to buy a gun, but some of my neighbors are now heavily armed.
And before anyone calls me a white racist, I would like to point out that we are multiracial. This isn't about race; this is about a culture of lawlessness that illegal immigrants have brought to our neighborhood.
But seriously. Could you imagine the reaction if someone made a movie about the intruders in your neighborhood? About the struggling families wondering if they should buy a gun to defend the homes they lived in peaceably for 40 years? Can you imagine the howls of "unfair!", "racist!"? Unfortunately, you just don't fit into the current political storyline. Your not a big fat white guy sent straight from central casting to embody the supposed meanness ascribed to anyone who insists immigrants from Mexico should get in line and fill out paperwork just as those from Tanzania or Poland do. People have decided that your neighborhood just wasn't worth struggling over. Needless to say, people who do not reside there.
the movie is real. i doubt this ad is.
it was like ehh
It was a good idea and I wanted to like it, but it was written like a spanish soap opera.
if you want to see a movie about immigration go see
"born in east LA" with Cheech Marin.
You'll probably get more out of that than this undeveloped flick
