They Won't Want You to See This

I am not a political guy. There is no political agenda fueling this film. Truth is, before making this film I never gave a single thought to illegal immigration. And yet, for some crazy reas

on, I went as far as risking my life to produce a non-partisan documentary about the hottest political topic in America. What's even crazier is why so many people won't want you to see my film.

October 2010. I'm stuck at a red light outside a 7-ELEVEN in Southampton, NY. An army of undocumented men stand on the corner in search of work. Across from them is a small, middle-aged man waving an American flag and a home-made sign that reads, "Deport Illegals".

Tom Wedell, is an out-of-work roofer. He has stood by himself in the same spot every morning for the past five-years protesting against illegal immigration. That said, every day for years I passed by Tom but never paid much notice. Then one day something happened different. As I sat idle at the light, my radio starts playing the Neal Diamond song, 'America'. Somehow the lyrics force me to view the situation differently. I pull over and rip out my camera. A half-hour later I'm 30-minutes into a new film called, THEY COME TO AMERICA.

The film focuses on the human and financial costs of illegal immigration. We filmed over the span of 14-months (Oct 2010 - Nov 2011) and journeyed through Arizona, California, Illinois, Florida, DC, New York and Colorado. The debates, events, people, and places we captured on film is simply amazing. When it comes to the topic of illegal immigration, this is a first-of-its-kind film.

From day one we faced lines of resistance. The first line came from politicians. Members from both sides of the aisle avoided answering tough questions. When we said their rhetoric was unacceptable, they ran from us, literally. We captured it all on film.

The second line came from civil liberty groups who support illegal immigrants. We worked endlessly to get the ACLU, LaRaza, and other groups like them to appear on camera. We told them our questions would be tough, but fair. Everyone turned us down. We finally had an organization, Americans for Immigrant Justice, accept our request for an interview. We traveled 1,300 miles to their office only to be turned away when we arrived. We captured it all on film. (Eventually, we found a DC lobbyist and immigration attorney).

Then there was the Border Patrol. We were constantly stopped by BP Agents when they saw us filming in areas where crossing happen daily. At first, we figured it was a security measure. But the interrogations continued long after it was determined we were not terrorists or members of a drug cartel. I was forced to speak with a BP Supervisor who demanded more details. "The film is about illegal immigration", I said. "I need more specifics.", demanded the Supervisor. We captured the conversation on film.

They Come to America is anything but politically correct. There is no slant to the left or right. I am not a racist, I don't hate Latinos, I am not funded by anyone. What I am is a film maker who has made a film that exposes the truth, and the truth is illegal immigration is an issue ignored by too many politicians. It is a crime that comes at a tremendous human and financial cost to both Americans and illegals immigrants.

Although some people will try to say otherwise, They Come to America was shot with an unbiased lens, and paid for by me, a guy with no political agenda. This is an even-handed film that shines a light impossible to ignore. It's the sort of film that can spark real change, which means it is not a Michael Moore fake-u-mentary that relies on tricky editing. I don't beat around the truth. I don't sell out to Hollywood. I traded in the chance for an Oscar so I can feel what it's like to punch this topic right between the eyes. That's what I did, and that's why so many people don't want you to see this movie.

    This is Dennis Michael Lynch, Director of THEY COME TO AMERICA. I appreciate everyone on this post who bought the movie. I appreciate sodahead for posting the post. Three things I would like to state:
    1) The movie cannot be purchased on Amazon. If you see it on there please contact us at theycometoamerica@gmail.com because we will contact Amazon and have them blacklist the criminal who stole our movie and is selling it illegally. Make sure to include the link,
    2) Yes, every order comes with two free DVDs,
    3) I welcome the group showings, actually, I love them. But I do ask you to encourage people to buy the DVD as it is the only way I can continue to fund the 24/7 efforts we put into marketing the film. I am funding this all on my own. So the sales help me continue the push considering the traditional venues for distributing the film are blocked from me.

    Kindly,
    DML

    PS - If you are wondering if this is really me. Go to TheyCometoAmerica.com and look at my most recent blog post written about racial profiling. I will add a PS to the post mentioning this blog site.

    The bottom line is, illegal, means it's a crime, which they are law breakers, so they have no rights at all, other than humane treatment being removed from America!

    I'm getting to the point where humane treatment needs to be withheld. They might think twice about coming here illegally if they weren't given such humane treatment when they come here.

    Thanks for the post. With America having the problem today with our economy. Our young people have no jobs. Even my college grad student son is working in a stock room of a grocery store. Our town is a ghost town. Definitely, we are impacted by the hordes of illegal immigrants who are sapping our resources.

    The film maker cannot get Hollywood or the MSM to air his movie. Now he's actually offering to give 2 or 3 copies if you order one. He wants this information to get out to as many people as possible.

    I just bought the movie and added my comment to his website.
    I will hold an open house for my family, friends and neighbors when it arrives.

    If the entertainment industry refuses to allow it to be shown, we have to do it ourselves. Share the website on FB, twitter, tumbler etc to show how cowardly the film industry has become.

    Now that the POTUS has declared he will no longer deport, he will give out 800k work visas, and he will sue any state who attempts to uphold the law, illegal immigration will not decrease it will increase.

    The dvd from Amazon is a pretty good presentation of legal immigrants to the US.

    No, it's a PBS production. The title is "They Came To America", not "come". It's a perfectly good educational TV type of show.


    I just ordered Dennis Lynch's DVD from his website.

    Totally different than "They Come to America." They Came to America tells the story of the 23 million people who immigrated to America between the 1880s and 1920s from dozens of countries. "They Come to America" is telling the current story of illegals crossing our borders, how it is negatively impacting jobs, costs of social services and how many don't come here to become citizens, but want to make money and go back to their home country.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Dennis Lynch's presentation. My brother's getting one of the extra DVDs.
    I'm glad I got the other one though. It's a good addition to my library.
