Real Stories from America’s Broken Immigration System

Collateral Damage

The effects of bad border policies ripple through every community. Americans shouldn’t have to bear the burden of this crisis. It’s time for secure borders, legal immigration, and a nation that puts its citizens first.

Americans Deserve Secure Borders, Not Policies That Put Safety Last

Americans expect neighborhoods that are safe, secure, and governed by the rule of law. Sadly, open-border policies have created dangerous conditions for families, businesses, and law enforcement.

Resource-constrained communities are often forced to choose between providing or protecting their citizens or prioritizing those illegally present. Too often, the latter happened, putting Americans last. Those same Americans are now bravely stepping forward to expose how these policies devastated their neighborhoods, strained their businesses, and exposed them to preventable crimes—all while those who follow the legal immigration process are left waiting and overlooked.

Stay tuned for “Collateral Damage: America’s Broken Immigration System,” the new documentary series from IW Features coming soon.
