"Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day" would involve volunteers posing as illegal immigrants and hiding on campus while students try to find them for prizes. For the "Fun with Guns" activity, students would shoot cardboard cutouts of Democratic leaders with BB or paintball guns.
This sort of shit is typical of College Republican groups.
Recruiter's 'Fun with Guns' plan denounced

Events allegedly planned to recruit students to the Republican Party at the University of Michigan have both Republicans and Democrats across the nation stunned.
Morgan Wilkins, an independent contractor hired by the College Republican National Committee to recruit students to the party, was described as planning events such as "Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day" and "Fun with Guns Day," in an article written Tuesday by The Michigan Daily.
"Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day" would involve volunteers posing as illegal immigrants and hiding on campus while students try to find them for prizes. For the "Fun with Guns" activity, students would shoot cardboard cutouts of Democratic leaders with BB or paintball guns.
U-M College Republicans Chairman Rob Scott said Wilkins was probably misinterpreted.
"She was just speaking about different events that could occur," Scott said. "It was misrepresented in the article that we were planning the events on our campus."
He said the U-M chapter never planned on organizing the events and would never host them.
