    If some more people from abroad go to see the Grand Canyon as a result of this film, so much the better. And there's no law that a WELCOME mat must also say, "This house is really squalid on the inside." In that way, this isn't the same issue as VNRs.

    Propagandists generally tend to have an exaggerated idea of how effective their work is. The point Hughes seems to miss is that for most people entering the country, even for the first time, it's probably too late to make that "first impression."

    But suppose she really wanted to make this a "fair and balanced" offering -- along with the feel-good stuff, the film ought to show, say, cops teargassing reporters and protesters at pro-immigrant demonstrations.

See the video on Revver: http://one.revver.com/watch/453209 So let's face it ParisSpeaks is the new AP.

    ...to seize upon those words "joint vision" and joke that the stuff out there really is getting stronger, but the real menace is in the clause "to enhance border security while streamlining security processes." That means they hook you up to a polygraph while showing you the film. If the polygraph shows reactions consistent with nausea, you get shipped to Gitmo.
