Below the Border

A bloody new pc video game, called Border Patrol is stirring a lot of unneeded controversy within the Mexican community. The timing couldn't be worst for an immature stunt like this; at a time when illegal immigrants are trying to come to terms with the government.

The game encourages players to kill "Mexican nationalist", "drug smuggler" and "breeder" (pregnant woman with two children). It's also very violent, as blood splatters after each kill. Though in a very sensitive state, we shouldn't allow pranks like this to alter our missions or opinions. For research purposes, the game can be downloaded here.
