According to today's State News

Borrowing a controversial idea from the University of Michigan, members of MSU's chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom plan to dress a volunteer as an illegal immigrant and encourage students to "catch" him or her in the upcoming months.

"Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day" will likely take place after the November elections, YAF Chairman Kyle Bristow said, adding they want to keep the date a secret to deter protesters.

The international relations sophomore said the goal is to raise awareness of the issue of illegal immigration.

"We're committing cultural suicide if we don't address it. We need to establish a national language because it defends our culture," he said.

This time college students can win cash prizes by 'catching' a student dressed up as an illegal immigrant.

U-M YAF Chairman Andrew Boyd said "Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day" is still being planned by YAF members to take place before the end of the month.

The game would consist of volunteers dressing up in a neutral-colored shirt with an "Illegal Immigrant" sign on it. Whoever "catches" the volunteer will win a $100 to $200 cash prize, Boyd said.

"There will for sure be one (volunteer)," Boyd said. "There may be two, perhaps one will be used as a decoy. They will have a green card in his pocket and when you catch him, he'll show you that, and then you can let him go and go find the illegal one."

It only gets better up in East Lansing, where the YAF isn't going to mince words about how they really feel...

YAF members at MSU planned to chalk sidewalks with slogans such as "Speak English" and "Build the wall" on Wednesday night.

"We want a wall built where people are crossing in droves," Bristow said. "We need to send troops to all the borders, wherever the illegals are coming."

My only question is, which campus has the bigger field to choose of future DeVos/DeLay/Rove/Roger's - UofM or MSU?

Or which campus is leaving you more afraid for the future of our state?
