Ex-UGA recruit Chester Brown and immigration policy

So this confirms it then. His family was from Samoa, not American Samoa. And since his parents are here legally, Chester is still “undocumented” but not illegal. I hope I got that right. Geez, how so very confusing.

Surely there is a birth certificate somewhere. If he was born in the U.S. then there is one. Find it. I would hire a private detective to get it. We need O linemen. Find this boy’s birth certificate now.

How to find your birth ce
If you want to find information concerning birth certificates, it may be obtained at the Vital
Vital Statistics Office
Pago Pago, American Samoa 96799
011-684-633-1405 (voice)
011-684-633-7910 (fax)

If you want a copy of your birth certificate you need to write the Vital Statistics Office a request letter with the following enclosed.

The request for a birth certificate with your name and your parents name.
A copy of a CURRENTLY VALID STATE ID such as a currently valid drivers licence.
A five dollar MONEY ORDER (no cash and no personal checks) payable to the American Samoa Government.
That should do it.

Note: Since this is a US Territory regular US postal rates apply. If you are in a hurry send the letter via “PRIORITY MAIL.” DO NOT send it via EXPRESS MAIL as there are only two flights in here a week; Monday and Friday nights, and thus it will be no faster than PRIORITY.

He can obtain a birth certificate easily enough and I am sure UGA would honor their commitment to him when that is settled if he still desires to go to UGA. I suspect though, that there is some problem involved with that, or he would just get that done and settled. That is why he is looking at other states without that law. I think the law makes good sense, and if he gets his certificate, he could fulfill his dreams of playing at UGA and staying home in Georgia. Unfortunate set of circumstances, for the young man and UGA as well.

East Repeat,

A “non-citizen president”?!? Really? One would have to have their judgement so clouded by hate, prejudice, and ignorance to continue this line of nonsense. So, the line should go, “East Repeat” is a hateful, ignorant racist to whom no amount of reasonable evidence including a copy of the short and long form of his birth certificate, both Hawaiian newspapers printing records of his birth, and the state certifying his birth would prove the citizenship of Barak Obama.

Lastly, this level of hate, ignorance, and racism may gain one such as “East Repeat” political street cred with his tight knit similarly hateful, ignorant, racist friends, but it also loses elections for the party of its believers.

Walter you sure know a lot about our President in great detail even. Here is what I know about the man.

Our economy sucks. It is in fact about what we are as a football team since the 2005 season which was 8 years ago now this up-coming season. Our economy has not improved under the President’s plans to spend money, no matter what, to give money away no matter what, and to create government controls – like the 1 which has now cost us an OL for the Four (4) Senior OL all Starters we just lost from last year’s 2011 OL.

Our President has not created any jobs, given away any money to any business owner I can then sell something to as a result, and has in fact created more government controls.

I’m not happy with either where we are as a football program since 2005, which was 8 years ago now this up-coming season, and I have not been happy with what has been happening in the economy the entire time this President of YOURS has been in office.

However, the FED, which is NOT under the President or the Federal Governments control, has loaned $23 trillion dollars to the Banks since Obama has been President.

People born in American Samoa — including those born on Swains Island — are American nationals, but are not American citizens unless one of their parents is a U.S. citizen. Chip Towers reports that his mother is. And,, his mother reports he was born in the U.S. As U.S. nationals, American Samoans may not vote in U.S. presidential elections. However, American Samoans are entitled to free and unrestricted entry into the United States.

Samoans are entitled to elect one non-voting delegate to the United States House of Representatives. Their delegate since 1989 has been Democrat Eni Fa’aua’a Hunkin Faleomavaega, Jr. They also send delegates to the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

Michael Carvell got no credit in the newspaper in my driveway this morning for breaking this story, in fact, he appeared to have missed the story entirely. Now, this morning, it says he contributed to the online version which is the 1 I got, not this summary blog of it.

Michael Carvell, the AJ-C also moved to the left underneath Mark Bradley and Jeff Schultz. He was over on the right under UGA Sports news. This change reflects that he is not in any way UGA Beat-Writer, nor UGA Beat-Writer in-waiting. That is Chip Towers. All I know is that (1) Michael Carvell back when he had his blog on the right side under UGA Sports news, asked a lot of questions and let Chester Brown not tell him the truth. In his rush to publish, he also failed to research. I give Chip Towers credit for the research here, except (2) neither Michael Carvell nor Chip Towers to-date have researched and spelled out this mom who claims to be U.S. Citizen not American National, nor have they either (3) researched and spelled out this statement by the mom, AGAIN, that her child was born in the U.S.

Obviously, (1) the blog by in-fact Michael Carvell on this story is woefully inadequate requiring Chip Towers’ (2) the article referenced in the header of this blog and just as obviously (3) we have nothing to collaborate the stories – both that she is U.S. Citizen nor that her child was born in the U.S.

Reporting is lacking. There is no story here. Yet.

No, that is factually not true. It’s just the vocal minority that IS racist is the loudest voice being heard. Unfortunately, when the media played up the “Magic Negroe” concept before Obama was elected, it gave him a “color” cover to hide behind. The racist conservatives take what is fact and twist it into things like “I knew we shouldn’t have elected that Muslim or N……” You got me? To defend Obama makes you a poor, lazy, negroe lover. To attack Obama makes you a racist.

You are not necessarily racist to criticize Obama but you are ignorant. The economy is BETTER now than when he took over by any definition a serious economist would use (Bortz, Slimebaugh, and Hannity are not economists by the way). We were in a recession when Obama took office (meaning we were experiencing negative GDP for a sustained period of time), now we are not- the economy is experiencing positive growth. We were bleeding jobs every month by the hundreds of thousands when Obama took office- now we are adding jobs (especially in the private sector- the opposite of socialism). Y’all need to just step out of the way and say, “thank you” and ride the recovery all the way to the bank. Even the stock market has gone from around 7,000 when Obama took office to around 11,000 today- good for most of our retirement portfolios. Now if you are a birther still trying to define Obama has Muslim (he is a Christian) or a non-Citizen- yes, you are probably racist because there is no other logical explanation for you because it just goes beyond being a regular ignorant idiot. Why did he wait to release his official birth certificate? Because it is insulting that he should even have to. The hospital and the state of Hawaii had already verified his birth there. There were even two newspaper articles announcing his birth. Had any other President ever had to show more to prove where they were born? No. But no other President had been black with a name like his. Go Dawgs!

I really DO NOT care if I OFFEND anyone – so here it goes:

This is not a UGA or a state of Georgia LAW issue.

It is the fact that people are taking advantage of this country and our tax payers by being here illegally or not doing the proper documents to avoid whatever.

This is a personal accountability issue to live within the framework that we are all supposed to live by.

The young girl at Kennesaw State flaunted the fact that she was illegal.- acted arrogant – acted that she was entitled. BULLS**T.
In my opinion, she should have been kicked out of this country – and then she and her family could have applied properly to have the honor to work in live in the USA.

I do not know Chester Brown’s story and circumstance – and hate it that he had earned opportunity for a college education with a football scholarship. If his family had done the right thing – been accountable – then he would not be in this situation. This falls back on his family.

I LOVE hearing success stories of people immigrating to the USA and becoming successful and raising their standard of living. God bless them all.
I HATE hearing stories of people coming in or living here illegally – and then complaining that their lifes are ruined due to immigration laws. This is on them – not this country or state.
No one is entitled.
I wish this young man a great future. It seems to me that it is more important that this family concentrate on obtaining the proper visas, documents, or getting a resolution to whatever the situation is.

For all of you mamby pamby’s out there – grow up – and reach out to your fellow man to help them – but help them in a legal fashion where they can be here in this country legally so that they can pursue their dreams.

It doesn’t have anything to do with giving or not giving to the poor or “keeping their own to themselves”. I want the choice to give and who to give to. I don’t want some pencil headed bureaucrat taking my money and leaving me little to be able to use for charity work.

Big government is killing charities and the spirit of giving and sharing.

@Ogeechee Dawg, I have not read anywhere that Chester or his family are flaunting the immigration laws, being arrogant like that entitled chick in Kennesaw, or even complaining. From what I have read, Chester would have been a great asset to UGA even if he didn’t play football. His grades are good, and he seems to have a good character from all his quotes that I have read.

I don’t think he is out for special treatment, but I think we should give it to him. He is an exceptional exception and and asset to our state. We should have exceptions for special cases. To be rigid and legalistic will result in a big grey monolithic and uncaring iron curtain communist style hell that we saw in Russia and in North Korea.

We need to send the vast majority of illegals home and they need to try to re-enter legally, but there should be exceptions and special cases. This kid is a special exception.

And just to let you all know, Most Blacks are conservative but they vote Democrat. Why? Because in capitolism and the economics of scarcity, there is only so many resources to go around. Regardless of country, if the majority race controls the keys to economic power, just who do you think gets the lion’s share of those resources? This is just plain common sense. It’s a game of musical chairs. Blacks are not afraid of work, and in fact, they crave it because they are in control of their money, not DFACS. There are not enough jobs left open for minorities and the ones that are left open often are not enough to make ends meet. Who is doing all of these service jobs and jobs of servitude? Blacks and Hispanics. So when the Eric Cantor’s of the world we are going to take your handout away, then not only is it insulting, but it’s downright scary for those who have children to feed and clothe. So, Black people say, “Fine, take away the welfare, just give me a job that pays well enough for me to take care of myself.” In short, the system we have developed has created a need for a social safety net. There is no way every single adult over the age of 18 can and will find work in America. There is no way every single American can go to college, get a bachelor’s degree, and find a job. The biggest insult to me, spoken by both Democraps and Repukes, is that the people took out loans they knew they could not afford and the banks allowed it. That’s simply not true. When has anyone ever gotten a home with a low credit score and no proof of income was required? It takes damn near a 750 score to get a no document loan. No, what the Banks knew, was they were sending that job overseas.

That’s because before the British came and tried to “civilize” Kenya, everything got screwed up. So please excuse the Kenyans for living in natural law, the law God or whoever the creator is gave them. There was a time in Europe, before the Roman Empire, when you didn’t need a piece of paper to own a track of land or announce a damn birth.

America was built on IMMIGRANTS and even the “so called” ‘Pure American’ came over here ILLEGALLY!!!! How about asking the Native Americans how they felt about ‘illegal immigration’ (did original American Settlers even care)? Don’t enforce and create new laws now that being illegal is truly inconvenient to your comfort zone!!! That kid was ready to commit to Ugay, Ugay needs lineman!!! Why push him away now? Why did it take the scouts, president, or whoever that was in charge so long to realize that he didn’t have to proper documents prior to persuing him????

liberalism and conservativism are both legit points of view and it’s a shame that so many people attack each other like they’re enemies. We are all Americans and believe it or not, a lot alike. Politicans like to focus on our differences to try and divide and conquer and to try and draw a contrast between those in power and those who want to be. The reality is politicans are alot alike just like everyone else is. We want the same things. I wish the people would try and settle differences rather than name-calling and trying to belittle each other. Stop playing into their hands. Stop letting differences define us. Stop name-calling. Stop demonizing. Start orking together and most importantly be humble and come with an open mind.

Liberalism is misnamed. It has ZERO to do with liberty and libertarianism. Today’s liberals are big government Fascist supporters at best and outright communist at worse.

Why to hard leftist coop names for things they are not (i.e. Progressive, Liberal)? It is because most people want freedom and don’t support the robbing of Liberty and freedom. The left are as un-American as King George dictating tax increases.

If UGA’s dismal recruiting success isn’t depressing enough, reading some of the ignorant, racist, bigoted comments from some “UGA” fans is too much to take. To actually take pleasure in this young man’s situation is foreign to my thinking. And comments about Obama are just plain ignorant. I am not defending his politics because I am Republican, but I cannot believe educated people would make some of the comments about him personally. When will some Southerners and the so called “religious” right realize that spewing the theme of exclusion, hate and priviledge is not consistent with the primciples of Christianity? If you are a UGA fan, then you are embarrassing my school and for the sake of UGA you need to refrain from commenting. How can we ever shed the image of ignorance with people like this.

It appears he is undocumented, not illegal. As to all of you “how can he be undocumented if he’s not a US citizen” crowd, the answer is simple. “S#!t happens.” But of course, you guys think if something hasn’t happened to you, it hasn’t happened to anybody. This presumption that the finite possibilities you have experienced are all possibilities that exist is a real hindrance to this nation’s progress as leader of the free world.

“each of them pays American taxes”

They do not. You know nothing about that which you spout on the Internet. My neighbor is here and has no green card. Neighbor has lived here for 8 years. Neighbor pays NO INCOME TAX WHATSOEVER, while every penny of what I make is reported to the IRS. Repeatedly, I have said to said neighbor how very unfair that is. Neighbor is afraid of US Govt. US Govt sent neighbor letter stating neighbor can not drive in the US. Neighbor owned a truck. Neighbor was able to get insurance. Neighbor sold truck. Neighbor takes taxi to and from work daily.

Now, if we had a FLAT TAX, then neighbor – “each of them pays American taxes” – would pay taxes on purchases by neighbor.

Neighbor has recently purchased a 200-acre farm in home country. Neighbor exported said truck to home country. Neighbor also exported $ 8,000 4-wheeler for said farm in home country. Neighbor has a STAFF here in America where there are 3 people on Neighbor’s payroll. Neighbor takes out NO TAXES from ANY of the 3’s PAY. NONE. Neighbor left to home country 23 December. Neighbor returned home here a few hours ago on 1/25 – gone over a month. Home purchased and paid for in full here, just sat there, and if I didn’t clean up some, it would have all that trash and all those leaves blowing all over my yard, so I did right by the Neighbor.

Don’t come in here and tell me “each of them pays American taxes.”

BS

You folks that say “stupid law” really have as issue living in a country with a foundation the respect of law. Seems like you would best be served in a place that told you everything to do and law wasn’t an issue. Me personally love the new law. If a person can’t show his or her legal status, they get no assistance from the state, such a s the hope grant. Even in high school they should not be living off the backs of legal citizens. But the legality of an immigrant is a none issue with you. You idiots are putting football way ahead of just plain the right thing to do.

Chester, if you are reading these comments on this blog and others dealing with UGA athletics, if somehow your situation is worked out and you are able to attend UGA, PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER NOT GOING TO UGA if you are fortunate enough to have other options.I cant speak for other team’s sports blogs because I dont read them, but a great number of UGA blogs get out of hand, and this one here just takes the cake. So many of you are so misinformed, so many of you simply watch tv and formulate your opinions and views on what they tell you. How a football blog turns into a bashing of our President baffles me. You UGA fans are an embarrasment to the university. You throw athletes under the bus, kids at that, when the dont do something heroic to win you a football game, a game in which you contributed nothing too. You bash kids who choose to go elsewhere to pursue there careers. You all are flip floppers and very wishy washy. Alot of you all are worse than teenage girls obsessing over boy bands when it comes to you and high school recruiting and college football. Alot of you are grown men with grown children, and your pouring so much emotion into a game, which involves teenage boys, and you get so angry at these kids. You all make your ASSumptions bashing kids about things that you dont know about, just like you all did Chester before you knew the real reason as to why he wasnt coming. Some of you need to look up the definition of FANATIC, because thats what alot of you are. If I was any kid and there parents, and I read these UGA blogs, I would seriously consider sending my child or attending a university in a city and with a fanbase that is as deranged and awful and sad as many of you are. You all are great at building up a kid, only to tear him down when he doesnt meet you all’s expectations. I will pray for these kids, UGA, and this country, because it is taking on a tone that is scary for the future. God bless
