A brief introduction to the story of crossing the border

America is a place full of hope for many people, but you often have to pay a huge price for this hope in your heart. Some people can get legal citizenship through a long bureaucratic process, but others will find that they are not so lucky and are excluded from this country where everything is clearly priced. At this time, sex, violence and betrayal have become the whole of their lives. Some people are waiting in line slowly, waiting for permission to become American citizens, while others prefer to take the initiative in their own hands.

Max brogan (played by Harrison Ford) of the Los Angeles Immigration Customs Enforcement Bureau promises to protect the country's borders and ensure that thousands of people who enter the country legally can find a better life, but this is not the case. In the investigation of illegal immigrants, Max brogan found that the immigration problem is far more complicated than he imagined. He and his partner in the Immigration Bureau, Hamid Bach (Cliff Curtis), handled several immigration disputes, including an immigration case involving himself, in which he met the immigration defense lawyer Dennis frankl (ashley judd).

At the Immigration Bureau, Max brogan met all kinds of people, including high school girls who were concerned by the FBI because of immigration-related incitement, skilled workers in Mexican factories, actresses who wanted to get a green card by selling their bodies, hardworking musicians who wanted to establish their own careers, Korean teenagers who were involved in two different cultures because of their family's investment in American citizenship, and single mothers who were expelled from the camera because of their children. In the process of contact with these people, Max gradually changed her initial view of her work.
