Republican outreach to minorities and ladies used to be a excessive precedence coming out of the 2012 election, but has considered little success considering that then. That’s most definitely why some Republicans aren’t all that pleased with the news that a conservative campus staff plans to carry a “Capture an Illegal Immigrant” recreation on the College of Texas on Wednesday. Individuals in the Younger Conservatives of Texas-UT Chapter-subsidized event will seek out folks labeled “illegal immigrant” on their clothing, in exchange for reward cards.

From The Federalist‘s Sean Davis:

The crew — Young Conservatives of Texas-UT Chapter (YCTUT) — launched details of the adventure on its Facebook web page this morning.

“The details of the game goes as follows,” states the Fb replace. “There might be several individuals strolling across the UT campus with the label ‘unlawful immigrant’ on their clothing. Any UT pupil who catches this sort of ‘unlawful immigrants’ and brings them again to our table will obtain a $25 reward card.”

“The purpose of this experience is to spark a campus-extensive discussion concerning the difficulty of illegal immigration, and the way it impacts our on a regular basis lives,” the outline concludes.

As of 1:10 p.m. EST lately, over forty people — a lot of whom look like Hispanic — had indicated they might attend the adventure. A press free up asserting the “Seize An Unlawful Immigrant” listed Lorenzo V. Garcia, the chairmain of YCTUT, as the principle point of contact for press inquiries.

The event is sure to generate the extensive publicity it seeks, aided via these desperate to portray Republicans as anti-immigrant, and is derived at a time when the GOP is already feeling pressure to move comprehensive immigration reform. The Senate has already handed a comprehensive bill, however Speaker of the Home John Boehner does now not make stronger it, and will not enable a vote on it. Perhaps that’s why Republicans like former Bush administration staffer Ben Domenech aren’t so considering the staff’s move.
