This channel is an "Interactive Documentary" about the politicization of the immigration issue, currently being shot in Northern Virginia. We will respond to viewer feedback, including requests for more coverage on certain story lines, contextual clarifications, and even perhaps on-site production. The aim of this documentary is to inform the public, and investigate alternatives to the intense polarization that is hindering progress on the immigration issue. Clips on this page will be shot and edited quickly by independent filmmakers--Eric Byler, Annabel Park, Jeff Man--with additional production support from Zhibo Lai, Jay Kim, Tom Moore, Tomiko Anders, Levi Magyar, Leo Torrezao, and Harry Yoon. Special thanks to Liz Barnes and Dan Rapela at PWC Channel 23 for courtesy footage.

Name: Eric, Annabel & Jeff

Because of the timeliness of the immigration issue and the urgency of the situation, we decided to create this real-time, interactive documentary page -- breaking with the usual documentary post-production method that delays public feedback for months and months. Some clips on this page will become part of a feature length documentary to be released next year. We hope our YouTube videos can help promote greater understanding and alleviate the hostility in Northern Virginia.

	peacemankl\| May 11, 2008 Go Annabel and Eric for making great strides of change within our communities! kev
	mjbhv\| May 08, 2008 Thank you for adding me as your friend!!
	StopStewart\| May 06, 2008 Will Stewart do the county a favor and step down? That would be the first step to undo the damage he's wreaked...If not, any way to impeach? He shouldn't ever seek public office again given the state of affairs here. Out for a few months and can't believe what is happening!
	andersonproductions\| May 02, 2008 I am by no means affluent or indifferent. I work full time all day and go to school full time at night. For the past ten years I've worked in the foodservice insustry, alongside immigrants from many countries, from El Salvador to Morocco. I AM one of the "poor and struggling American citizen workers." The fact that I don't know anyone whose job has been displaced doesn't mean I don't understand that this happens. It is because we are in the Northern Virginia region, where jobs are comparatively plentiful. I agree with you, mm2327, when you state that corporate interests "seek to squash American wage standards and workplace and environmental protections." That's why I was advocating for a living wage for all workers.
	NoVAConservative\| May 02, 2008 9500Liberty, thanks for the clarification.
	MM2327\| May 02, 2008 9500Liberty, last evening, one of your subscribers here stated that he or she didn't know anyone displaced on the job by illegal aliens. Not surprising, because too many on the far left are affluent and indifferent to the realities faced by poor and struggling American citizen workers. Others who support the idea of open borders and amnesty are wealthy corporate interests who seek to squash American wage standards and workplace and environmental protections. Why haven't you bothered to research the realities of poor and struggling American citizen workers when you KNOW that the US has been outsourcing jobs since the 1980s, and that the jobs that remain are needed now more than ever? Do you really believe that American citizens do not have a right to work at jobs in their own country, or do you simply not care? (cont'd below)
	MM2327\| May 02, 2008 If that is the case, what is your primary motivation in pretending that your work is in the interest of human rights? If you can rationalize poor American citizen workers, who are black, brown and white, being oppressed, then you support the status quo that exists in Mexico.
	MM2327\| May 02, 2008 I made a typo below, it should read "protect American citizen workers from having their wage and workplace protections violated" by companies and illegal aliens.
	MM2327\| May 02, 2008 There is no immigration crackdown, there have been ICE officers going to companies and businesses who have hired illegal aliens, in violation of the laws that protect American citizen workers from unfair wage and workplace protection laws. Illegal aliens have been arrested and many handed over for deportation. Employers found to have knowingly hired illegals are fined and some receive jail time. The laws are in place to protect poor American citizen workers from being harmed, their ability to support their families. American citizens have civil rights and human rights considerations as well. I know that the documentarians here find that truth inconvenient, but it doesn't change the facts. Unbiased documentarians would have also interviewed unemployed and underemployed American citizens to provide a balance to the discussion. As it stands, the realities are inconvenient for those with a bias who want to rationalize the discrimination of poor American citizens.
	MM2327\| May 02, 2008 The facts are this, if you demand the rights of American citizens be suppressed, by allowing illegal aliens to undercut American citizens in the workplace, and gut wages, you are violating the civil rights of American citizens. You do not build a better quality of life by demanding that others be oppressed.. that is hypocritical. Secondly, to those who exploit the history of native peoples to rationalize illegal aliens, the ancestors of many of the illegal aliens, the Spanish committed genocide against the native peoples of what is now called Latin America, they are also the ones who invented the trans-Atlantic slave trade. As a woman of native ancestry, when I hear illegals telling citizens to go back to Europe, I feel the need to remind them that they should do the same, as well as apologize for creating slavery in the Americas.
