I don't believe this
Controversial 'immigrant hunt' event planned at UT
I can't believe that even the Young Conservatives of Texas would be so openly tasteless and racist. It has to be a hoax. I have a couple of emails out to confirm that.
UPDATE: Ginger points me to this entry at Pink Dome, which indicates that it's a hoax or misunderstanding. An event of this type was held, however, by the YCT branch at the University of North Texas, and the organization links to pictures on its front page.
REUPDATE: Chuck emails with a link to Burnt Orange Report, complete with increasingly deranged emails from YCT's chairperson at UT, who seems to think someone's out to get her. She may be right. Or maybe this was planned, and quickly cancelled when word got out. Considering that Texas's Republican elected officials see no problem with nuking Syria or saying that there's no Constitutional separation of Church and State (wow, that takes me back), an "immigrant hunt" is hardly beyond the pale.

Young Conservatives of Texas pulled this very same stunt a few weeks ago at University of North Texas. It was not a hoax, and was conducted in the light of day for all to see.
You can read about it here:
NT conservatives protest immigration policy
This is demonstrates just the kind of sociopolitical environment neoConservatism has wrought within its Red State Utopias. It says a lot that these fascist kids are so fearless and shameless about displaying such hatred and contempt for human beings.

This is little different from the "Affirmative Action Bakesale" stunts that get pulled every year by Young Conservatives/College Republicans. Ya know, these assholes ARE the future of the Republican party. You think it's bad now? In 15 to 20 years these jerks will have worked their way up the political ladder and will actually have some real power and authority. What will they do then?
