Unless you've been through the whole process of migrating to the United States and the naturalization process, it would be hard to relate to what the message of the movie is. Given that Harrison Ford was in the movie, it still brings on screen the sacrifices and trials that an immigrant goes through. It also gives the reason why people still want to come to this country despite the hardship. Despite the current hardship of the recession there are things that make the United States attractive to the poor, the oppressed and those who long for the American dream. This is a movie to watch even if it only skims the surface of the immigration situation.
