Video Game Teaches Immigrants How to Become Citizens
We're all used to video games that "teach" us to race cars, perform criminal acts, and save humanity from aliens, but what about a game that teaches you about human rights, immigration laws, and the struggles of those less fortunate than you? That's the stated goal of 'ICED: I Can End Deportation,' a game chronicling the attempts of several immigrant teens to avoid arrest and deportation in their effort to become citizens of the United States.
The game is produced by Breakthrough, an organization dedicated to promoting human rights and dignity. The graphics and game play certainly aren't going to be mistaken for your latest PlayStation 3 title from a major game studio, but that's not the point of 'ICED.' 'ICED' is an attempt to use a popular interactive medium to educate people about a misunderstood and controversial topic, so go easy on the gameplay critiques!

We already have too many immigrants here to begin with...HEY! here's an idea! Give them a video that teaches them not to commit crime, and how to get a job. Morons.

Along your learned path you might remember that your country was built on immigrants from all corners and being an immigrant to your country has been an extremely difficult transition, largely due to people like you, who quite evidently have no education and suffer miserably from complete self-centeredness (can you read that big word?). I dont envy you in the least. I am tremendously glad that I dont suffer from your condition and am extremely pleased that people like you are not part of my life.
I guess you go to church regularly too, right?
RIGHT!

Immigrants are what founded this country, but the legal ones are paying taxes. Why is the administration considering allowing illegals to collect social security and disability benefits? Welfare? C'mon, that's not right. If people want to come here to find a better life, fantastic. But follow the rules, and deal with the crappy system like the rest of us.

You can't even begin to compare the differences between immigration from Europe and the thousands of Mexicans sneaking over daily. For one, all immigrants were brought to Ellis Island, processed, and told they could stay since there weren't enough people to do the jobs needed, Mexicans just steal the jobs that the current residents need to survive. Wait, I don't know why they sneak over now, they can do that from their own damn country!!!!

Mexicans are "stealing the jobs that the current residents need to survive"? I'm not Mexican but I have to laugh at that comment. I didn't know people can "steal" jobs, I thought they were selected to attain it. Oh no! I have Mexican friends who are illegal and I can tell you that they work twice as hard as legal immigrants. What kind of employers don't want to hire hardworking people? And you want to know why they come to the US? It's because with the same amount of effort (work-related) in Mexico, you get a much better pay in US making life in the US easier. That being said, quit your complaining and work for your money.
