I am a 17-year-old caucasian girl who has lived in Manassas my whole life. I just want to say thank you for allowing the white, self-righteous and supremacist legal citizens of this fine, upstanding county
to once again have the important jobs back, like fast food and construction. I know it has always been my dream to work the drive through at my neighborhood McDonald’s and now you have made that
dream more possible. I am so proud to be a part of a city that is taking a stand against those pesky brown people. I was riding in the car with my Hawaiian friend when we got pulled over so the nice
policeman could make sure she wasn’t an illegal Latina. I know that in my heart I couldn’t be more thankful for those new laws that you helped pass to racially profile everyone with dark skin. Gee, I don’t
even know why I’m friends with her.
I know that no one who eats tacos and burritos can be a good person. I mean hey, I don’t want that new Chipotle on Liberia Avenue! These people just need to go back to Mexico and take their children.
They deserve to starve, be in constant danger, and have a poor education.
After all, they were born in an inferior country! I don’t want any new customs in my life.
I want to be closed-minded and be surrounded by my pasty friends forever. Please get that diversity away from me!
Now people say that all Americans immigrated here. Well that may be true, but at least all of mine spoke English when they came here! Oh wait… except for my Danish, French, and German relatives.
But no matter, at least it wasn’t Spanish. When I was in high school and I was trying to learn another language, I had the hardest time and struggled through all three years. I hardly remember any of that
language, but who cares? Learning a second language may be really hard for anyone, but it doesn’t matter if your first language was English.
Now I look around my upper middle-class neighborhood and see that there are far fewer children for my neighbors to play with. But I rest assured knowing that when they play tag, they won’t get tagged
by Latino cooties anymore.
Next, we should give them disease-infested blankets; it worked when we wanted to get rid of Native Americans.
Thank you once again for your efforts to cleanse our community,
SUZIE ESKELUND

My response to the article, posted on the same web site:
Suzie, sweetie, you are so lucky. You have the ability to spout inane drivel with no shred of life experience to base it upon. You have grown up in middle-class suburban Virginia, with indulgent parents to give you everything you have ever needed. Perhaps one day, you will grow up, see a bit of the world, and perhaps actually learn something more of reality than the socialist claptrap our liberal-led public schools have filled your head with. Perhaps you will be one of thousands of Americans who are victimized by criminal illegal aliens who invade our nation every day. Perhaps you will live to see your children unable to gain college admission, or to find a job, because of preferences extended to them under misbegotten “affirmative action” policies. Perhaps you will see much of your tax dollars going to provide these illegal aliens and their offspring medical, social and employment services which they are NOT entitled to, instead of being spent on something useful like defense or even transportation.
There’s a reason why seventeen year old girls can’t vote yet, sweetie, and why no one with any sense or life experience cares anything about what they have to say. Run along back to the mall, now, and leave social policy to the adults who are equipped to handle it.

Ms. Kipp,
I, too, oppose amnesty.
Listen, we have previously undocumented serving in our Armed forces today, in fact the first killed in action in Iraq was such a soldier. We have ‘anchor babies’ working as productive members of society in many different occupational fields. We have elected officials who were previously undocumented but have been allowed to adjust their status. I know individuals who have been granted legal status, they are successful people who contribute to our community. And, I fail to see how granting legal status to those already here, working, with familial ties, homes & businesses, who are not criminals and pay taxes could be the ‘destruction of America’.

“If by chance amnesty is granted - it will be the destruction of America - and we will become a third world nation, just like the countries from which the majority of the illegal aliens have left. “
You mean like when Reagan granted amnesty in 1986 and our country fell apart and became a third world nation?
I don’t actually support amnesty myself. But you need to get a grip.

Dear Ms. Antibvbl.net
80% of Americans are opposed to amnesty.
Comprehensive immigration reform will not include legalizing the multiple millions of illegal aliens in this country.
If by chance amnesty is granted - it will be the destruction of America - and we will become a third world nation, just like the countries from which the majority of the illegal aliens have left.

Ron, the only nerve you hit was my funny bone!
That said, I applaud Gwen and Gary for their post, which expresses many of my own feelings about your presentations. Thanks, GTwen and Gary, for stating it so well.
I like a healthy debate, and sometimes love to throw fuel on the fire; but soon I tire of the commotion that often results, particularly in your case, when attempting to discuss something with someone so diametrically opposed to what I believe. Although we often share some common middle ground, it’s very difficult to get anyone to admit to it. One thing, if nothing else, I’ve learned here; except perhaps in small ways you are not going to change my mind, nor I yours. Let’s leave it at that, and move on.

Ms. Kipp,
We do have limited resources, it is a question of priorities.
Nobody disputes criminals need to be removed but funding 287(g) is only part of a comprehensive immigration reform package that should require the undocumented to become legalized.

NetoVA,
Please forgive my lack of clarify. My post was referring to the immigration laws - BECOMING an American citizen is a PRIVILEGE and NOT a RIGHT.
The 14th Amendment was specifically to address slavery - not illegal aliens.
During the original debate over the amendment, Senator Jacob Howard of Ohio, the author of the citizenship clause described the clause as . . . excluding not only Indians but “persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, [or] who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.”
Someone definitely needs to file suit to clarify the true intention of the 14th Amendment so we can end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens.

Mr. Charest:
For fear of my being misunderstood, allow me to clarify that it is not the content of your arguments, but rather the manner in which you conduct them that I find fault with.
Where calmness and rationality of thought would serve well in making your point, we are instead frequently treated to something akin to the foot stampings of a petulant child. This is what I referred to in my first post, and is the root of my concern.
Your opinion, as well as the opinions of others, deserve a fair hearing in this forum. Whether I, or anyone else agrees with those opinions is beside the point entirely. But do consider that when you present your argument in a manner which suggests that your logic has been nullified by anger, pride, or a perceived sense of needing to be right at all costs, it is far more likely that what you have to say will be dismissed out-of-hand as ranting and ignored.
I mean you no ill will by making these observations. I ask only for your consideration. I do not presume to tell you or anyone else what they can or cannot post in this space, but I do think that a revisiting of the rules of conduct may be in order.
I hope you will accept these comments in the constructive spirit in which they are offered.
I look forward to hearing from you on issues in this forum, also.

Um..it is if you’re born here. Those of us born here who lay claim to American citizenship can thank the immigrant who came here (through Ellis Island or across the Mexican border). Look back through your family tree, Ms. Kipp, and you’ll find the ancestor who came here from someplace else and gave your family American roots.
When it comes right down to it, we’d all do well to remember that we are Americans by luck of the draw—and nobody can legally claim their citzenship is more valuable than another’s.
And, as much as it irks some people, the Constitution grants US citizenship automatically to anyone who is born here, no matter their parent’s immigration status.
