Something Both Republicans and Democrats Agree On

WASHINGTON (AP) -- National Democrats on Tuesday urged Republican Party chairman Mel Martinez to stop the independent College Republicans from holding "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" events around the country.
Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean and Ramona Martinez, chair of the Democratic National Committee's Hispanic caucus, sent a letter to the GOP chairman asking him to put a halt to the events.
"These despicable tactics have no place in our public discourse or on our college campuses," the letter said.
The game is a variation of hide and seek, with one player posing as an illegal immigrant and everyone else trying to find the person. The winner usually gets a prize.
Tracy Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said "we find these activities both egregious and offensive and condemn them wholeheartedly." But she noted the College Republicans are independent of the RNC: "We do not control their activities."
Democrats sent a similar letter to chairman Martinez's predecessor Ken Mehlman in September last year, noting that College Republicans were holding similar "catch an illegal immigrant" events in Pennsylvania and Texas. The RNC condemned the activities at the time.
The DNC noted that the game was recently played at New York University and drew several hundred students. Students at other colleges also have played the game.

Maybe it is out of embarrassment that the democrats have found something to protest about the college republicans in New York. Or maybe, they just feel so criticized by a bunch of college republicans who are more in tune with the people on the illegal invasion than they are that they have to strike back some how. Catch an illegal day is, of course, just a stunt to get some awareness on the issue of this mass calculated invasion of these united states. When democrats want to talk about something they push down other peoples throats they call it a 'dialogue', but when it is something they protect and defend more than the borders and the constitution it is called hateful. Street theater is always their friend until it is used against them. They asked the RNC how they felt about this and they responded in the politically correct way, that it is egregious and some such sour words for the college kids who want to make a point. I thought leaving the border wide open and conspiring with the democrats to keep it open would be considered egregious. But what do I know?

If the republicans can't be counted on to support a game that merely gives lip service to the idea that illegal aliens shouldn't be in our country, can they really be counted on to stop this flood coming in?
