To Tony Kaes with respect to his inquiry on immigrant films.  My book, HISPANIC
S AND UNITED STATES FILM has a lot of pages dedicated to this from the earliest
 silents to nowadays.  But here's a few such films from the 30s-50s:  On The Bo
rder (1930), I Cover the Waterfront (1932, undocumented Chinese smuggled from M
exico), Hold Back the Dawn (1941), Border Incident (1949), Borderline (1950), T
he Lawless (1950), and Wetbacks (1956).  And there are dozens more.
