Get ICED, You Might Learn Something

Illegal immigration. A game? Or a threat?
(CBS 11 News) NEW YORK A new video game is sure to stir the pot in the already volatile debate over illegal immigration.
The game is called ICED, which is an acronym for “I Can End Deportation.” The name is also a play on the name of the federal government’s immigration agency, called Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or I.C.E.
The makers of the game say it allows players to experience the life of foreigners who get caught up in the U.S. immigration system.
The goal is “to try to figure out how to keep your freedom, by navigating through a very complicated and unfair set of laws to be able to remain a free person in the United States.”
Players can earn points by doing things like recycling and taking language classes.
As you earn more points, fewer ICE agents chase you.
Guess the illegals noted in this next article didn’t play the game.
LOS ANGELES – More than 1,300 illegal immigrants in five Southern California counties were arrested in the past two weeks during one of the nation’s largest immigration sweeps, federal officials said yesterday.
“In this operation, we located some very dangerous aliens, including those involved in street gangs, as well as those with various criminal records that include drug trafficking, domestic violence and sexual assault,” Myers said.
Roughly 90 percent of the immigrants taken into custody had criminal records, re-entered the United States illegally or resisted deportation orders, she said. About 600 have been deported in the operation that began Sept. 19.
More than 500 alleged immigration violators were at large and taken into custody in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties, officials said.
Nearly 800 “previously unidentified deportable foreign nationals” were discovered when ICE officers searched jails in those counties, Myers said. Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties have agreements with the federal government allowing sheriff’s officials to check the immigration status of inmates.
The majority of those arrested are Mexican citizens, officials said, but the sweep found alleged immigration violators from more than 30 other countries.
It’s just a game to the illegals. Why do so many support them?

I posted on my blog – Illegals can vote in North Carolina? (http://robboyce.com/blog/2007/10/04/llegals-can-vote-in-north-carolina/)
About how illegals will be diluting the representation of citizens and also about an idiot in NC claiming La Raza is registering illegals to vote and he is tickled to death.
