In May 2008, the San Diego Union Tribune reported that the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) announced plans to build a 3,000-bed mega-prison in San Diego, California, which if built would be the largest immigrant detention center in the United States (Berestein, 2008). On May 11, 2008, the Washington Post reported that since 2001, the number of immigrant detainees over the course of each year has more than tripled, to 311,000 (Priest & Goldstein, 2008). The New Yorker reported that whole families, many of whom have committed no crime, are incarcerated in the privately run Hutto immigration prison located in a remote area of south Texas (Talbot, 2008). The Washington Post reported numerous abuses of immigration detainees, ranging from inadequate or improper health care & rape of female detainees to the adverse psychological effects of detention on children (Berestein, 2008).

The reality television program, 30 Days with Morgan Spurlock, relates a compelling narrative in its episode entitled "Immigration" by having Frank, an avowed Minuteman, live with the Gonzalez family -- whose members are undocumented -- in East Los Angeles. The episode begins with images of Frank patrolling the border, binoculars in hand & 9mm handgun at his side, while passionately arguing that the United States must enforce its immigration laws. He insists that immigrants who have crossed "illegally" must be policed & deported back to their country. The viewers are then introduced to the seven Gonzalez family members, who live in a 500-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment. Upon entering the Gonzalez's home, Frank adamantly argues that the family must be deported. Although his intransigent views slowly melt away due to the warmth & hardworking nature of this family, the critical turning point for Frank occurs when he goes to Mexico & witnesses firsthand the "squalor" & abject poverty from which the Gonzalez family fled. After this horrible experience, Frank explains that the Gonzalez family was merely trying to survive by entering the United States "Illegally." By the end of the episode, he tearfully embraces one of the daughters, & promises to sponsor her if she is deported. Adapted from the source document.
