NEW YORK – In what it says is an attempt to get students to debate the issue of illegal immigration, a student Republican club at New York University has dreamed up a novel game that has some on campus calling the event “racist.”
In the game planned for Thursday, called “Find the Illegal Immigrant,” members of the club who present their NYU identification become immigration agents looking for an illegal in the crowd. The agent who successfully identifies the illegal immigrant wins a gift certificate.
Students have sent club officials e-mails calling the the event “racist” and “disgusting.” But the club said it is about stoking debate on the issue of illegal immigrants.

“It’s not a racist event, first and foremost,” said Sarah Chambers, the 21-year-old president of the College Republicans. “Just because we don’t want illegal immigrants being able to completely disregard the laws of our country doesn’t make us racist.”
Other students have said they will protest the event
