Never mind the plethora of textbooks, studies and scholarly articles exploring the cost-benefits dynamic of people who live in the country illegally.
Now there's a new game designed to break this complex issue into digestible fare for millions of Americans who feel lukewarm about the issue.
Peter Gadiel, who became an anti-illegal immigration activist after his son died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, says he created Illegal Immigration – a "Game" as a way to expand the debate and create a new legion of anti-illegal immigration activists.
"We want to reach people. I want people to understand what's going on and what's happening in their country," Gadiel said from his Connecticut home. "I want to get them interested and know enough and go out there and oppose amnesty."
The trivia question-and-answer game launched April 5 and sells for $39.95 on the Internet. Gadiel said he's not sure how many have sold so far but figures it's not many because he has yet to get the word out to mainstream groups, he said.
Still, chatter and e-mails about the game are already circulating among local anti-illegal immigration circles, including e-mail blasts sent by the Huntington Beach-based California Coalition for Immigration Reform.
The game has also been criticized by some local immigration scholars and immigrant rights advocates who questioned what are described as facts in the game.
