What do young Republicans at Penn State do for fun? They play a friendly game of “Catch an Illegal Immigrant”. Nice.

The College Republicans at Penn State University wanted to enter the debate about the nation’s borders by playing a “Catch an Illegal Immigrant Game.”

People would be invited to “catch” group members wearing orange shirts symbolizing illegal aliens.

Amid the student outcry that ensued, they softened their plan to an illegal immigration awareness day in which leafleting and speech-making would let both sides air their views on immigration policies.

School officials supposedly nipped that in the bud, though the undertones remain:

Some who registered complaints with the administration said they saw uncomfortable likenesses to the original game, down to participants designated to discuss illegal immigration wearing orange shirts.

This “game” is apparently not new. Similar acts were staged last year in North Texas while students at UT Austin held a counter event against it.

Read the opinions from Penn State’s newspaper.
