NEW YORK -- In what it says is an attempt to get students to debate the issue of illegal immigration, a student Republican club at New York University has dreamed up a novel game that has some on campus calling the event "racist."
In the game planned for Thursday, called "Find the Illegal Immigrant," members of the club who present their NYU identification become immigration agents looking for an illegal in the crowd. The agent who successfully identifies the illegal immigrant wins a gift certificate.
Students have sent club officials e-mails calling the the event "racist" and "disgusting." But the club said it is about stoking debate on the issue of illegal immigrants.

Other students have said they will protest the event.

Apparently hundreds are expected to protest the event and the police will be shutting down some streets around the Washington Square Campus. I hope it doesn't get ugly.
