A Walled America

Description

The next terrorist attack will come from right here, predicts American Border Patrol founder Glenn Spencer, gesturing at the U.S.-Mexican border. With its official-sounding name, unmanned satellite planes, and heat-seeking imaging systems, ABP seems like a government body, but by its own admission many of this citizen militia's actions embarrass the government. Using voices from both sides of the illegal immigration debate, this documentary examines the prevalence of vigilante groups that patrol the U.S. border and looks at the rising power of anti-immigration lobbyists.
