Finance. Cloudy today Temps in the mid eighties. But also he's self folks are you set it can be beautiful day it doesn't have to train speech that's nice you in the green head this is my girl dance there I don't know -- -- -- -- nasty -- -- nasty. But you can you can handle. -- are tough kid. And it deftly adapted so there's a movie coming out or I'd amateur it's been released here we're gonna learn about it but I'm excited about it they come to America. It's it's about illegal immigration and I'm fascinate the cost of it the burden that it puts on society joining us now is Dennis lynch. And there were gonna learn all about this movie which is having its premiere. On August 30 at the Tampa Theater. Which is where the convention just happens to be going on good morning Dennis lynch welcome to WRKO Feinberg and retreat could -- as. And good morning thank you for having me on guys as and -- affect on you you know it's by Everton teammate introduction of the somehow I don't have always had a response that. This important to myself -- has been rejected. By every film festival in the country that I applied to for -- -- did a pretty much over thirty fast ovals including. Including -- In Phoenix. And Tucson Sacramento Dallas all the ones in Florida New York Chicago. -- illegal immigration apparently hit the hardest. So you know when you talk about being released. Yeah it's being released them I'm showing it at theaters. But I'm having to rent those theaters. Or people -- communities are coming together and using their money to -- to dictator I mean for instance I'm talking tearing up my hotel room. In Maryland to Frederick Maryland will last night we had 400 people packed out the. -- all there's a huge demand for this hotel before we get into the business part of it. Tip get us on board with the storytelling suing -- excited all right do we can talk about cross promoting a showing here in Boston. Along come and all fifty states so yeah I can use here's the short in the whole thing. I'm going to be 43 next week. And I -- into movies very late in life. So I made my first movie called king and Hamptons and it's out in the east end of Long Island and I would be making this movie haven't released it yet because -- start getting to the immigration movie but anyway have been strident back and forth through one point seven every day and -- -- guy standing out there with a sign saying deport illegals at a 7-Eleven. Convenience store in about fifty feet away from him about 200 to 300 illegals getting jobs every single day I would drive by this and take it take a look. One day -- this commotion going on a pullover I have my camera. I -- filming an -- half hour. I can get the Americans gone past him calling him a racist the other half are going to pass to deepen their horns and saying he's a patriot. So the contrast. What some demand a stomach of interest to them and I never knew anything about illegal immigration of the little -- they see on television. So I decided to be Linux still maybe you know it would help me become I don't filmmaker well let me tell you sound that. If two years of being in the things I'm not talking to you today and filmmaker I'm talking -- concerned citizens. Because what I found coursing in this country that things that I saw people afraid to speak on camera because of the called a racist. Our schools closing down -- this week ESL played -- English second language classes are rising up for illegals. Our borders I slipped on the board approach to read these in the dirt you're a sign that. Yeah I hit -- and yeah I that the movie the movie. Put an American face on illegal immigration and that's why they don't want it out there. Because I have illegals on camera plenty of them all saying they don't want to -- American wanna say that make the money sit at home and eventually go home. And I mean is that the case to all of them actually not but believe that everybody tried to spin it is that everybody here for that American dream and they can obtain it. And it's just not the truth there's two sides to this story and my film told that story I don't have -- -- my opinion in this thing I just I just turn on the camera and show it. Well but ever going you added a film and EUR are naturally putting your imprint on your your bios. Dave right so and so he is it is it telling everybody side of the story here's a question. I've had really -- that Vista and yeah -- I personally. Went through the pain. Not only shooting mode most of it to the between myself my camera guy. I -- the whole thing on my own because I didn't want anybody else to put their opinion -- slant on it. I never insert my opinion one time I didn't have an opinion I was discovering. So yes I have the people in there who do. You know that this students who say hey we report you only two years old we look at to give back I've got of the workers who are blatantly saying yes we know we're still in charge for -- I have Americans slides down to sleeping in the us now. Because they are getting undercut by illegals and this isn't something I found in metropolitan there's -- things they found an account with one blinking light to. This problem. What I what I learned you know word to -- -- -- say what they did before I got into movies. Out of businessman and as a successful one one of my partisan when -- businesses was John Sculley the former CEO of apple. I understand economics I understand that's utilize the housing market and the jobs market still -- is cyclical. When they come back we're feeling good again we're gonna have ourselves a problem we're not going to be able to even think about solving which is illegal immigration because that's not cyclical. He just keeps on increasing increasing and increasing if you think we've got a lot now. When there's more jobs and and in the country to -- had we're gonna be -- to win. This this problem is so huge in fact I would get less than a month staged a racist was the biggest probably seen it illegal immigration I have to make a movie and I thought they what is. The fact that nobody wants the truth to come. So what is it sounds like you formed an opinion Dennis Michael lynch is our guest -- movie they come to America what did you learn having gone the end. And in just trying to make a moving come out as a concerned citizen what concerns you. What concerns me. What concerns me that we've got twenty to thirty million people in this country we don't know who they are. Why they're here what their intent is very their undercutting American workers we have 23. Million Americans who are -- -- -- I I don't -- distance and I mean I I know there's a lot of the it's a huge cost to make a felt. And now you're renting out the airspace to show the felt no I don't -- -- can't get into the festivals what's -- fear way what are you getting out of us. While they were feared that it does the beautiful thing if it didn't cost me a lot of money to to make this film I thought I would wind -- selling it and you know like most documentaries make a couple of bucks on a whole lot. I have been fueling. The rentals theaters. On people who are buying the dvds. So I have been forced to do this backwards usually a film goes out and it -- on the -- beneath it on dvd I've been putting it on dvd and people from across the country are buying it. Effect to -- what's gonna send me. But if it's the future of my country. If somebody goes to they come to America dot com and buys one dvd I send them some great. I think nearly two full -- so this way they can just send it to people who live and a swing state or people who don't think illegal immigration is that big of a. You wanted to go viral you -- could agree we have a big reach with the moving. It has to be it has to be could let me tell you. There is no winners here you know maybe might tone in this particular phone calls sounded as if -- -- -- anti illegal immigrants still. There would be illegal immigrants coming over here. Then don't coming into drug -- helps to get held in entrap -- -- -- held for ransom until more money is sent home from wherever Guatemala Ecuador. The women get raped. The police get beaten until the money comes. These sort of things aren't things that you can again while -- So okay is this what the political debate doesn't a lot of come out can you can we do -- showing here in Boston. I'm gonna blocked and -- about five point and in fact even LB -- receipts. Lisa your party got a book and we're coming to Massachusetts. We don't have a -- and we what we've been doing he's really setting -- weeks. And I can tell you we've done five shown so far would turn away people would -- you're answering like you don't want us our help. I don't want your help I don't have the exact date it didn't board would I'm doing Tampa this week at the RNC -- and then after that I am going on three month streak of going to every political -- everything so we I would -- that I was -- -- and then let's work it out so that we can do a joint venture. Absolutely absolutely told and I asked people to go and they come to America dot com and register and then this way when we come to Massachusetts we can blast out and that will come. That's a great idea they come to America dot com his name is Dennis -- Dennis thanks for being here. Thanks Dennis good -- act that. Charging just started with ice agents are actually suing Obama -- not allowing them to do their job tonight do people out of the country what a wonderful thing that is for me to imagine that ice agents who have paid by the federal government has suing the federal government because the federal government. Doesn't allow them to do their job.
