'Living Undocumented' puts faces on families

The Netflix presentation nevertheless puts faces on the toll of US immigration policy, while making a point of noting the role of past administrations as well as the current one. Although most of the families come from Mexico and Central America, others have roots in Israel, Africa and Laos. While it would be nice to think that the personal tales chronicled in "Living Undocumented" might contribute to a thoughtful discussion of immigration policy, that doesn't seem to be the world in which any of us are living. "Living Undocumented" premieres Oct. 2 on Netflix.
