★★★★★ · Very Accurate analysis of the Immigration · PalomillaProductions · 2020-04-24
Very Accurate Analysis of the immigration waves into the USA. Even though time has passed history stay true. A great guide for people of this time to learn the truth about the immigration phenomenon.
★★★ · Welcome all of you white people! · Spuzz · 2017-07-24
A pretty shocking and historically incorrect film which first blurts out that everyone in the United States is an immigrant, blatantly ignoring any mention of American Indians. Then we the atypical european family arriving from wherever they were to Ellis Island. We know that they'll have a nicer time here because we don't mind your religion or language (but color is another story all together it seems). This is a fairly historically important film, for all the wrong reasons.
