I can understand how the adage "Any publicity is good publicity" is useful and appropriate for a celebrity or even some brand, but in this context it makes me pretty uncomfortable seeing the same approach used for a student-run political organization. I know that's nothing new, really, but this is just a bizarre thing, to literally ACT out some dumbed-down version of deportation and make a game out of segregation that is typically performed under threat of force by the state doesn't seem very collegiate. The only interesting part is why this activity is even being performed, why this group feels it necessary to do it. It doesn't really contribute anything to the discussion of immigration at all.
