Mexican actor Demian Bichir’s Oscar nomination for his role in A Better Life — a film about an illegal immigrant trying to keep his U.S.-born son out of street gangs — comes at a time when immigration issues are at the forefront Republican primary debates. Hopefully the increased attention the film will receive for Bichir’s nomination will shed a more sympathetic light on immigration.

Arizona will hold primaries on February 28th, two days after Sunday's Academy Awards. As we saw in the 20th GOP debate in Mesa, Arizona, illegal immigration is a major issue for the state whose controversial SB 1070 law is widely considered one of the harshest anti-immigration measures taken in recent U.S. history. During Wednesday’s debate, Mitt Romney praised the law, calling it a "model for the nation."



Kris Kobach, the source of some of Romney's most hard-line ideas about immigration, told the Guardian that he estimates that within the first term of a new Republican presidency, half of the current pool of undocumented aliens – some 5.5 million people – could be forced to resort to self-deportation after being subjected to significantly more aggressive enforcement of immigration documents.

Rick Santorum, who is leading Romney in the polls, holds a stance on immigration that is similarly harsh. Newt Gingrich, however, who has recently fallen behind, claims to be in favor of a limited amnesty program for those who have lived in the U.S. and have ties here; Gingrich has ridiculed Romney’s concept of self-deportation as a fantasy.

Like the character he plays in A Better Life, Demian Bichir immigrated illegally to the U.S.; he arrived in New York City at the age of 22. Bichir benefited from an amnesty program that helped him obtain a Green Card in 1986.

"It was important for me to relate to that time when I arrived in New York," Bichir told the Associated Press about preparing for his role as Carlos Galindo. "Carlos Galindo's dignity is similar to all those 11 million undocumented workers in U.S. They live their lives with ... that power and that passion, and they never give up. That's me."



Bichir is the first male Mexican native to be nominated for an Academy Award since 1964, when Anthony Quinn was nominated for Zorba the Greek, and A Better Life is one of the very few major Hollywood studio films about the lives of illegal immigrants. Though A Better Life didn’t do well at the box office, perhaps the increase of downloads and rentals of the film since its nomination will raise awareness about the multi-faceted nature of illegal immigration.

Hollywood soft propaganda.

Well Obama himself is more of a "Tv/Reality show" star, and he has "supporters", so I wouldnt be surprised if a movie gains bleeding heart sympathies..

The point should be to counter-act that, with TRUTH, Truth of what Illegals REALLY are, and What them being here REALLY causes..
They cause:
*Physical Risks- (They were NEVER checked BEFORE entering the U.S for diseases or illness, so could be spreading sickness), (They are in general Quick to Anger and Violence and have Drug/Alcohol abuse problems, putting society at High Risk).

*Financial Risks/Stress- (They come here, get hired Either "under the table" as cheap labor, Or STEAL American identities and Fraudulently work, All the while obtaining FREE Health/Medical Care, Free Education for their "Anchor babies", Subsidized Housing, Free Food programs (Using STOLEN SS#'s to gain Welfare benefits etc)...

Meanwhile struggling American families, get put on wait list and told they cant qualify for such things because "budgets are cut" or "funding is too low"...

Anyone with 1/2 a brain can see through the smokescreen that these sob stories are putting up...it Our job to blow thru the smokescreen and snap feeble minds into reality.

Hmmm.. I prefer to think of SB 1070 as PRO AMERICAN and I don't see a single thing controversial.

I also am not shocked it gets a nod from Hollyweird, afterall who would do their landscaping or be their maid or nanny? They love to employ the less fortunate just so long as they are on the OUTSIDE of their gated community by the time darkness falls!

They never make heart wrenching movies about of the millions of Americans that are suffering because of illegal aliens breaking into our nation and showing a wonton disrespect for our nation, our people, and all of our laws.

That is exactly what we need, our side of the story in the main stream media!!!! Sympathy belongs to the American people who have been deeply affected in a negative way by illegals.
