“Catch an Immigrant” nixed on Penn campus

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.

A kinder, gentler Jeb Bush?

Jeb Bush is calling for a “more liberal” immigration policy?
Bush told Notimex “we have plenty of people who have been here for many years and they do not have a way to legalize their status. A process should exist to create it”.
“It is not an amnesty, but I think it is important that if there are researchers and capable people all over the world who want to come here to pursue their dreams and they offer a quite important brain capacity for the new economy, we should capture it”, he said.
This regularization must come “along with a more liberal immigration process“, American President George W. Bush’s younger brother explained.
Brain capacity?
Anyone else think this is the world turned upside down? This is too liberal even for a “moderate” Republican. I mean he sounds like Hillary Clinton. Apparently he’s also too liberal for right wing crazies.
This reeks of presidential election bid.
More of Jeb Bush’s position on immigration.

Latinos to take the vote left in CA

That’s what a new survey is saying.
Seventy percent of Californians who have registered to vote since 1990 are Latino, providing a growing benefit to Democrats and posing a threat to Republicans, according to a new voting report.
The Field Poll on election trends also said that there is partisan split between coastal and inland counties that favors Democrats but is slowly shifting in favor of the GOP as the more Republican inland population grows.
