Conservative College Kids Host “Catch an Illegal Immigrant” Game

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

The University of Texas-Austin’s Young Conservatives chapter, which “has been fighting for conservative values for more than a quarter century,” boasts of alumni like Senator Rand Paul and Congressmen Jeb Hensarling and Steve Stockman. We wonder what they think of the group’s latest stunt: A campus-wide game, called “Catch an Illegal Immigrant,” which rewards students who tackle designated Longhorns wearing “Illegal Immigrant” signs. Because they’re illegal immigrants. Get it?

From the group’s Facebook page:

YCT will be having a “Catch an Illegal Immigrant” event this upcoming Wednesday. The details of the game goes as follows:

There will be several people walking around the UT campus with the label "illegal immigrant" on their clothing. Any UT student who catches one of these "illegal immigrants" and brings them back to our table will receive a $25 gift card.

The purpose of this event is to spark a campus-wide discussion about the issue of illegal immigration, and how it affects our everyday lives.
Young Conservatives of Texas also hosted an “affirmative action bake sale” in late September, “to highlight the hypocrisy of the liberal agenda.”

Prominent conservatives do not seem very happy, for some reason.

What a great way to bring attention to the issue of illegal immigrants, said nobody ever

And considering how much work is done in Texas by illegal immigrants they would be shooting themselves in the foot.

 

[Teelie]

No they wouldn't. They have undocumented (illegal) workers to do the shooting for them.

Future headline: "Young conservatives tackle wrong person, get asses kicked; America cheers."

Hey Austin’s Young Conservatives

NYT - http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/22/world/americas/for-migrants-new-land-of-opportunity-is-mexico.html

...while Mexico’s economy is far from trouble free, its growth easily outpaced the giants of the hemisphere — the United States, Canada and Brazil — in 2011 and 2012, according to International Monetary Fund

- more Americans have been added to the population of Mexico over the past few years than Mexicans have been added to the population of the United States

Mexican migration to the United States has reached an equilibrium, with about as many Mexicans moving north from 2005 to 2010 as those returning south...

Their parents probably brought them up to think that if they aren't careful Mexico will take back Texas.

*baaarf!*

 

[KevanG]

Questions been eating the green stuff from the back of the fridge again.

 

[The Question]

Well, it's all I can afford to eat what with the corporate tax loopholes cutting off funds for social services.

Hope and change!

Slowly but surely we shall subsume Mexico. Then Canada.

Slowly but surely we shall subsume Mexico. Then Canada.

Fool. We will simply deploy our sleeper agent: Ryan Gosling.

 

[Breogan]

Slowly but surely we shall subsume Mexico.

Uhm we already did! Hence you know all the "Mexicans" here.

if it were the 1800s, they'd just join the Klan. progress.

 

[The Question]

if it were the 1800s, they'd just join the Klan. progress.

If this were the 1960s, they'd just join the Klan. The Klan isn't that distant from us in history.

I know it's gotta be rough being a conservative and under 30. Like it counteracts everything your existence stands for during that stint in your life.
