Who was really behind the "Day Without Immigrants" protests on Monday? Were immigrants and illegals really used simply as props for others with a more nefarious cause? Why were the marches and protests held on May 1, a communist holiday, rather than on May 5, a traditional Mexican holiday?

Could it be that honest immigrants and illegals with good intentions... many of whom are conservative, religious people with strong family values... are actually being manipulated by groups who advocate the violent overthrow of the government?

Che Guevara was the right hand of Fidel Castro during the communist revolution in Cuba. Guevara was responsible for the political torture and execution of thousands of dirt-poor Cubans in the '60's. How has he become the face of the modern struggle of immigrants?

What's really going on here? Do the events of May 1 lend credence to the beliefs of many that immigration reform is really a national security issue? Are the hard-working Mexican immigrants who really just want a better life for themselves and their families simply caught in the middle?

On The Fence Films has put together a short film that brings to light a number of startling questions. Watch it here.

Just for the record, I'm not suggesting that I have the answers. I'm still struggling to sort out this complex issue. Reliable studies indicate that the large majority of illegals from South America are Christian, conservative, and family-focused. Most of them would make better neighbors than the America-born neighbors I have now. Still, these questions have to be asked... and they have to be answered.
