Will Obama Watch a Screening of Pro-Illegal Immigration Exploitation Movie While He Visits Austin?

President Obama visits Austin, Texas today for a Democratic Party fundraiser with some of entertainment’s top names.

The president will not visit the Texas-Mexico border, despite the fact that it is currently in a state of crisis. An estimated 57,000 unaccompanied children have been caught at the border since October 1, 2013, a number that has overwhelmed the Border Patrol’s ability to process and care for them. That number could reach 100,000 by the end of the fiscal year.

The children are being shipped to camps at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, which is just a little over an hour’s drive from Austin, and to many other camps around the country.

Obama’s fundraiser stop has brought Austin’s already tight traffic to a grinding halt. Interstate 35, the main north-south artery through Austin, was shut down as the president’s motorcade made its way from Bergstrom International Airport into Austin proper. Residents couldn’t get to work or anywhere else.

Texas Democratic candidates and officials have elected not to allow themselves to be photographed with the unpopular president, even in deep blue Austin.

Movie director Robert Rodriguez hosts the president’s Austin fundraiser.

Rodriguez stirred massive controversy in 2010 when he directed the hyper-violent pro-illegal immigration movie, Machete.

Machete depicts the grindhouse tale of a Mexican Federale who gets caught up in a plot to assassinate a cartoonish, pro-border security Texas senator. Danny Trejo plays the role of the Federale. Robert DeNiro portrays the hick senator. Jessica Alba also stars as a US Border Patrol agent who switches sides and becomes a violent pro-illegal immigration advocate. Machete features a glittering cast of stars, including Don Johnson, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez, Cheech Marin and Lindsay Lohan. Machete calls illegal aliens “illegal Americans” and sends an unmistakable pro-illegal immigration message.

Rodriguez originally used incentives from the Texas Film Commission to fund the production of Machete, but once its contents became widely known, the Commission rescinded those credits and incentives. He proceeded to produce the film in Texas anyway. It cost over $10,500,000 to make, and grossed $26,593,646 according to Box Office Mojo. Its sequel, 2013’s Machete Kills, did even worse, despite its amazing cast that includes Trejo, Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Sofia Vergara (who wears a metal bra machine gun), Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr., Amber Heard, Bruce Campbell and other Hollywood stars.

Since the president refuses to visit the border, and clearly leans on the side of encouraging rather than stopping illegal immigration, and he enjoys his entertainment to the point of bragging that he gets advanced episodes Game of Thrones before they even air on HBO, perhaps Rodriguez will screen the film for him at today’s fundraiser. There’s nothing like watching a film when you have the director right there next to you to add his background commentary.
