Why? Did they infringe upon the rights of an individual?

well excuse me I didn't see Mexicans anywhere in this report. Could you please provide a source for this claim? Or are you just assuming also this is directed at Mexicans. If you can show me a claim that this game was aimed directly at Mexicans I will retract my statement. Otherwise I think you were quite out of line to tell me to shut the **** up.

So nice of you to commit theft in order to suppress their right to freedom of speech. A classic example of just how far the radical left has degraded to. You would censor these people and rob them of their possessions and their rights and then claim to be on the side of good.

I was THERE. I don't need to read a online article. They were building off the issue of "illegal" immigration that has occupied the minds of Americans for the past year; "illegal" immigration from mexico. That is where most "illegal" immigrants come from to this nation. There's a reason why there were no mexicans on their side of the protest. Essentially you're just playing naiive.

All right everyone!! A 10 minute timeout in the corner for the next person to use the words "shut the **** up".

Oops.

Be back in 10 minutes.

Most of the illegals in the country come from Mexico you said it yourself. Makes perfect sense that you would gear your game in that direction (which I don't know if they did, I'm just sayin) why is that being racist?

most, not all illegals are Mexican. As part Mexican I don't believe people right away should just assume with the game they were playing they were hunting down Mexicans. That says alot to me right there.

I would have been on their side, not yours, because it's just a game after all and they were going after ILLEGALS.

Yes but people who are against illegal immigration are generally against ALL illegal immigration. The fact that a majority of our current illegal immigrants come from one place is irrelevant. Their beef is with illegal aliens not Mexicans. There is nothing racist about wanting people to come here legally and in fact there are many that are being discriminated against as they jump through hoops and wait in line to come here in a legit fashion while others cut in line illegally and demand rights.

To the absolute best of my knowledge, not one single flyer handed out by the Reps was directed at Mexico.

I have a mexican friend and a costa rican friend whose parents immigrated here legally who were there on the side of the CRs. And thats just who I know off the top of my head.
