My daughter and I created the above video after our Mexican-born neighbors (who were in the US illegally) and their three-year-old (American-born) daughter were forced to move to another town by a bullying police officer. My two daughters were good friends with the three-year-old and they were very disappointed that she had to go. I, myself, was very fond of the family too - but my own attempts to help and protect the family failed. My daughter asked me if there was something SHE could do. Creating a cool video (addressing the issue of immigration) was the best I could think of. My daughter and I both had fun making the video. We hope you enjoy watching it...

That must have taken a lot of work, but your daughter certainly stepped up to the plate! Smart kid, glad she's on our side... :D

5. Thank you...

Thank you for the nice posts. We got a much different response when we tried posting this video on the Howard Stern forum. :)
