Description
An average of 1500 illegals are apprehended every day along the Arizona-Mexico border as they try to make the crossing into the US. Three will make it for every one stopped. This is more than a problem involving poor Mexicans looking for a better life. As Tancredo shows, several hundred illegals from the Middle East pass into the US every year through Mexico, bringing with them the threat of terrorism. We don't know who they are or where they are heading. 'Open Borders, Open Wounds' takes us into the world of the ranchers and farmers who have to deal daily with the consequences of illegal immigration and how it affects their land, their livestock, their water and crops and the lives and dreams of their families. Congressman Tom Tancredo has visited the US-Mexico border communities dozens of times. He has come back from this 'war zone' with a disturbing picture of 'our most pressing issue of national security and social disruption'.
