Texas Student Group Criticized For Controversial 'Catch An Illegal Immigrant' Event

CAITLIN MACNEAL – NOVEMBER 18, 2013, 4:31 PM EST4623

The University of Texas Austin chapter of Young Conservatives of Texas is under fire for holding what it calls a "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" event on Wednesday.

According to a Monday Facebook post by the group's chairman, Lorenzo Garcia, the event will feature students walking around campus with T-shirts that read "illegal immigrant." Anyone who can "catch" a person wearing the shirt and bring them back to the group 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," Garcia wrote in the Facebook post.

Current and former UT students were offended by the event.

Hmmm - I didn't see "release" anywhere. BURY would be fine with me.

They're "offended" at their own side for this farce?  Good thing I wasn't involved; the t-shirts would read "Catch a Wetback".

Hard to believe, but a worthless degree and facing a lifetime where this bubble head's only marketable skill is selling grievance.

Huh, what?  Political athropology and government?   ::saywhat::

Study of dead and near-dead bureaucrats?  More of the former please!

We also need to outlaw most elements of government...   ;)
