Chasing El Norte...
"Why are people so passionate about reform and legalization? To know this you have to know the nature of the struggle. I recently watched “Chasing El Norte” on the Discovery Times channel. It is a documentary of the struggle of several young men who risk everything, including their lives, to leave Honduras, where they lived below the poverty level making an equivalent of $3 a day. They desired to make it to the United States to get better employment and send money home to support their families and eventually return with enough money to start a business."

i saw this very moving documentary last night. Something every American should watch.
