Episode Blurb:

SourceCode looks at America's shifting demographics - how the institutionalized threat of terrorism combined with an uncertain economy has created a climate hostile to immmigrants. The advent of the REAL ID Act, increasing restrictions on legal immigration, growing small-town xenophobia, and renegade self-appointed border patrols are, however, matched by grass-roots groups assisting immigrants, even at great personal risk. We'll take you undercover with the Minutemen, as well as on a rescue mission with No More Deaths.
