Posters for the movie Wetbacks (1956). Notice that the top one depicts the illegal as victim, being gunned down by a faceless authority figure ("...their desperate fight for survival!"). Of course, Communism in Hollywood, especially among screenwriters, was just a "myth," a "Red Scare." Not pushing any message at all. (The movie was dull, by the way; I barely remember it. Lloyd Bridges, of course, was at the least a crypto-Commie, which is why his career never took off, till he lucked out with Sea Hunt.)

I much prefer the Robert Mitchum,1971 movie title,"Going Home," to describe the removal of invaders from the U.S. back to Meh-hee-co--and it's "sequel",2020's,"Stay Home" to explain what the spics should do when they get there . Neither flick was about immigration,btw.
