As the war on terror rages on and global warming threatens to snuff out our very existence, a handful of Democrat officials are currently concerning themselves with the games being played on college campuses. The game, which is called “catch an illegal alien,� is simply a variation of hide and seek. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, one player posing as an illegal immigrant hides and everyone else tries to find him or her.
Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean and Ramona Martinez, chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Hispanic caucus, sent a letter to the GOP chairman (as if he can do anything about it) asking him to put a halt to the events.
In response to the letter Tracy Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, issued a PC statement that said “we find these activities both egregious and offensive and condemn them wholeheartedly.” But she also noted the College Republicans are independent of the RNC, and “We do not control their activities.
So there you have it. Señor Dean had to really dig deep this time
but he managed to find another way to suck up to the Hispanic voting block. I suspect that sometime in the near future we will see some legislation that makes the game of “catch an illegal alien� a hate crime.
Is this game offensive? I suppose it could be, especially if you’re an illegal alien.
Is it inappropriate? No more inappropriate than a lot of things that frat boys do.
Is it worthy of congressional involvement? Not in a million years.

and the GOP chairman has what to do with it?

MBT- Didn’t you know, he publishes an anti- illegal alien activity book and distributes it to college kids with too much time on their hands.

Joe – and the problem with that is what? THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY!
Excuse me, but post 9-11 – I would think this should sort of worry people – no?

Joe – this whole issue irritates me. I wish Bush would wake up and smell the tacos – we are being invaded – and not all of them are here just seeking jobs – and I’m convinced that a lot of them aren’t hispanic either.
The guy who kidnapped the kid in Flroida was an illegal Mexican national. So what does Vicente Fox have on George W. anyway, that he continues to put the interests of Mexico above that of the US? And I am in favor of liberalized work permit policies….

That last comment of mine was just a tongue-in-cheek thing. I agree with you. The whole situation is so far out of hand now that drastic measures will have to be put in place to help clean this mess up. The problem there is that no politicians, and I mean none of them, want to be the the “bad guy” so the cycle of doing next to nothing continues.

What ever happened to freedom?
Earth to Demon-crats: They are playing a game!
Side Note: I wonder if Howard Dean ever practiced medicine?

And what should college students do instead of playing this harmless, albeit silly game? Throw pies at non-leftist speakers? Harass the campus ROTC? Bomb the local U.S. military recruiter?
Strange, the democrat party seems to be always amazingly silent when actual violence is perpetrated on real citizens.

KungPow – I notice your use of the term “Democrat” party – watch your 6 there – the Demostrat Party will be out to get you too!
Joe – i knew you were joking – so was I!

I figured you did MBT, but for the benefit of folks that may not be regular visitors (yet), I thought I’d just make my position clear.
As far as W’s weird relationship with the Mexican government is concerned, I think that it’s just a side effect of “compassionate conservatism”.
KungPow- You are spot on with your comment!
drdisaia- Freedom is constantly being redefined by the far-left fruit loops. It is up to us to to point this out as often as we can.
