    In 30 Days Immigration it was interesting to see a man who strongly opposes illegal immigrants living with illegals, and growing sympathy for them over the course of his stay. What stood out to me the most was the connection he built with the daughter Karina, and their feud of political disputes. In this feud what stood out to me the most was the last scene of them together, when they are saying goodbye to each other. In this scene one sees that over time they have gotten to know each other and each other’s background that have influenced their worldviews, and those recognitions have allowed them to switch from getting into many disputes to forming a liking and sympathetic understanding for each other. This was excellent to see, because it shows that even people with opposite opinions can form strong relationships, they just have to take the time to understand the individuals paradigm and how it was formed.…
