That’s an interesting thought. They flee here seeking safety and a better life, only to find a large portion of the country very hostile towards you and your fellow immigrants. Finding decent paying work is very difficult, but at least construction is typically in high demand in many larger metros. You hate the job and would rather be a teacher, IT professional, nurse, or whatever but can’t due to being an undocumented worker. I can easily see that causing a strong sense of feeling trapped and hopeless.
I took one of my kids last weekend (my other kid is too little for movie theaters) and we really enjoyed it. I don’t think it’s as poignant as the first one, since it’s more or less kind of a rehash of the same theme, but it was still well made. Anyway, despite having seen the first movie many, many times, it was still fun seeing the characters reunited and satisfying seeing them overcome their new crisis.
