We're completing principle photography on the pilot episode of El Papel and have started script work on the next of the 13 episodes. Each of the episodes deals with a number of subjects, many of which you have brought up here including the DREAM Act. As producers, we don't actually take either side of the subject and so I appreciate your thoughts. Your discussions have gone into the considersations of how we handle the subject of immigration in general but especially undocumented immigrants and hope you'll continue your very honest postings here. The series is going to include a website, the intent of which is to stimulate discussion of the topic. While I don't know what the answer is to the issue, I do know that the only way we'll find one is to publicly consider it. Again, thank you for your comments and please keep the discussion going. The website can be found at www.elpapelthemovie.com.
Also, let me ask the group a question? There have been a number of postings that state that we are well-beyond the time when mass deportation is an option given the consatraints on the American budget and law enfocement manpower. Many go on to say that, if we subscribe to this, the question has to be is it not better to educate the children we have here putting them to work for the United States in the private or public sectors in say the military during and after that education has been completed? In this way we make the best of a bad situation making lemonade out of lemos so to speak. Otherwise, they have only the gangs, violence and crime left to them to survive. What are your thoughts?
