It does not fit the narrative. (I earlier advised libs to stay away from "2016: Obama’s America," because it would be too hard for them to watch. Ebert must be taking my advice.

That D’Souza’s documentary is getting this much attention is a mystery of sorts. I confess not knowing whether the film has appeared at any of the film festivals that loudly proclaim to love documentaries, especially those of a political nature. I have in mind a movie released this year by Dennis Michael Lynch called “They Come to America”: The Cost of Illegal Immigration. Lynch can’t buy a screening anywhere; he’s even been ignored by Sean Hannity. Lynch, who says he has no position on either side of the immigration debate, got the idea for the film after driving by a Home Depot where on a daily basis he saw one guy protesting against the hiring of illegal aliens. Get a copy and watch it. Why aren’t Americans in large numbers being permitted to see how millions of illegals are impacting the American job market? We know there are citizens out there who are in the trades who either struggling every day to stay afloat against competitors who use illegal labor or simply closed their doors, but you don’t see the media giving these people the same amount of ink and air-time given to the “poor illegal aliens only searching for a better life.”
