This was very interesting.  The formatting is atrocious, but the concept is a good one.  I appreciate how the script doesn't really lean to one side or the other, whilst shedding light on a controversial topic.  

My advice is to get some screenwriting software and continue to work on this.

Yea those colors are obnoxious.  Plus thats kinda a long vo just telling instead of showing to start.
And the camera directions are unneeded and distracting.

Overall... The script is basically just talking heads, not particularly interesting.  I would think these kinda ideas would be better served in just an essay or something, rather than a pretty artificially constructed inserts of talking heads in the white house.  Besides which your choice of location and characters make this unfilmable due to budget for a five minute short.  With a little creativity you could take those ideas and make them actually filmable and a lot more visually interesting.

Besides all the technical difficulties, I live in Tucson and the idea is a tad out there.  Arizona happens to be a pretty conservative state, that also has a huge military presence.  There is a lot of racial anger here, but you have to remember that it's only that way because there are enough people here that support something like sb 1070.  Who probably wouldn't be down with revolution.  Cali might be a bit more believable but both are a stretch.

In any a case whatever ideas you have a not being conveyed well in your current format less and arc less short.  Learn some format, download celtx for free, rethink your characters and storyline.  Good luck with it.

Liked the story, dialogue told more than your visuals. Try adding more action. Sounds like a good concept for stage play the way you wrote it.
