When you’re watching dangerous stunts on TV, there is usually a warning that the viewer should “not try this at home.” I’d like to think of this post as a warning to foreign nationals (and Americans, for that matter) that certain movies do not realistically depict immigration situations. By all means watch these films for their dramatic plots, intrigue, romantic moments, and even comedic value, but do not rely on them for learning how the US immigration system works. We have provided grades, not for the quality of the movie but for how well they manage the immigration facts.
