Conservative influencer Emily Wilson, also known as Emily Saves America, highlighted the Americans killed by illegal immigrants over the past year and voiced her concerns to DCNF about the impact of illegal immigration.

“We held a nine-hour debate the day before yesterday, and the vote was 28 to 28 for Democrats.” [against] Republicans and six undecided voters. We won, the Republicans won. Because I think when people see how insane these issues are. And how many people literally die every day because of these problems. It’s not like fake news. That’s true. Your neighbors are dying,” Wilson told DCNF.

“I live in Los Angeles, and people are attacked every day. Yeah, it’s very real. It’s very scary, and I think people are finally starting to wake up to this. It’s unfortunate what happened,” Wilson said. “It sucks that people have to die for people to actually listen.”
Illegal border crossings under the Biden-Harris administration have hit a record high over the past year. The U.S. Border Patrol reported more than 1.7 million encounters with illegal immigrants in 2023 alone, and more than 824,000 immigrants were released into the United States on their scheduled court dates.
A Scripps News/Ipsos poll released on September 18 found that 54% of voters support mass deportation of illegal immigrants, including 86% of Republicans, 58% of independents, and 25% of Democrats. I support it.

The film’s central issue of government resonates with viewers, with anti-human trafficking advocate Tim Ballard telling DCNF that if voters “really” understood the complexities of the border crisis, their votes would increase. He told DCNF that it would change “like a landslide.”
“Yeah, unfortunately, people don’t even understand what’s going on. If over 300 million Americans watched this documentary and understood what’s really going on at the border… Then it would be a landslide,” Ballard told DCNF. “It’s going to be a landslide because there’s one thing we all agree on: God’s children are not for sale and our current policies are not for sale. They’re selling children.”
“This is mass trafficking and slavery of children, and if only people knew what was really going on like Tucker[Carlson] know like james[O’Keefe] As I know, it won’t even be an issue in this election. So I hope this movie gets a lot of attention,” Ballard added.

O’Keefe stressed that the documentary does not take a “political angle” but encourages viewers to “question” their acceptance of the current border system. The filmmaker also emphasized his belief that more whistleblowers within the government will come forward, as one has already been featured in the documentary.
“I know it’s going to happen because it’s not from a political standpoint. When you look at it, there’s nothing political about it. It’s just a story and it’s an incredible story,” O’Keefe said. told DCNF. “I think it makes us question our expectations of ourselves. Seeing these children being trafficked, are we comfortable participating in a system that does evil? Are you satisfied with that?”
“We’re going to need people to come forward. I know that’s going to happen. I’ve already talked to people in government who want to come forward and they’re looking to do just that.” So you know it’s going to happen. They’re inspired by this character in this movie and he’s crying in a uniform. It doesn’t really look like that. “I think it’s very moving,” O’Keefe said.

It’s costing taxpayers $7 billion and now children are being trafficked. “I’m being abused, I’m being left in traffic,” he said when calling the hotline. We don’t know if someone will come pick them up because we don’t know anyone. No one knows, but we have been sounding the alarm for over three years,” Rodas said.
