From April to June of 2018, ICE separated adults illegally crossing the border from their minor children, and the resulting scenes caught by film crews are heartbreaking. Fathers whose children were removed from them break down in tears as they describe their grief and longing. (Viewers who are skeptical of these stories may view follow-up footage showing joyous reunions of parents and children that make clear that at least these fathers were not fabricating their tales.)
Christians are proponents of law and order, of obeying those in authority over us unless they call us to disobey God. How civil servants implement those orders matters a great deal, and the cavalier, uncaring attitude shown by some government employees in this six-part series is reason for grief and for reform. We have the right and duty to defend our borders and enforce our laws, but we must never forget that all people are created in the image of God and should be treated with respect.

I hope this film does not focus solely on injustice but displays the massive job that ICE is tasked with due to the countless illegals who have already invaded our shores. The work done by ICE is always dictated by the current administration but also influenced by the legistlators and the courts. Much like the disarray of the police departments due to crazy utopian desires of certain powers, ICE suffers from a myriad of unequal and conflicting rulings regarding illegals. Borders have meaning and this long standing policy of illegals coming in, with the government looking the other way, will somewhat be set in order by the building and hoped for completion of the border wall. The millions of illegals who have already obtained entry are victims of their own (or their parents) unlawful entry, and lawmakers who have no conviction to protect this nation or will to decide what to do with people who earnestly came to this country to seek a better life.
