It's time to play ICED! (I Can End Deportation.)

In the game, you can step inside the shoes of one out of five immigrant teens, each of a different ethnicity and immigration status. The game teaches how immigration laws deny due process and violate human rights to all immigrants.

Go on over and play.

    1. Guess who the sponsors of the group that produced this include? Oh, c'mon, you'll never guess: GeorgeSoros and the FordFoundation. I know, I was completely, utterly surprised.

    2. Those who promote this game and similar usually support immigration "reform", something that supposedly includes stepped-up enforcement. Yet, those supporters constantly opposed current enforcement. Does anyone in their right mind think those supporters are going to do a 180 and suddenly start supporting enforcement, such as that mandated by the "reform" they support?

    Does this clown stalk every blog on the Internet, warning one and all of the dangers of the omnipotent Mexican_Government?

    I don't mind it when some commenter calls me names, but when a site owner joins in it generally indicates an issue with the site. Can I assume you don't see a problem with someone calling me a "clown" who "stalks blogs"?

    Also, anyone feel free to jump in and offer a counter argument to my comment.

    The only reform I want.... (none / 0) (#5)

    is the decline of the use of cages and chains to deal with immigration.  Chains and cages are for murderers and rapists, not imaginary line crossers.

    As for this game, if it's anything like the Grand Theft Auto series I am so playing it tonight.  Nothing safely releases your agression towards the police state than a game of GTA:)
