Internet users can now catch real, flesh and blood Mexicans crossing the border illegally due to a video game-like application.
Kotaku reports that a new online program has been created that empowers the user to catch Mexicans who are attempting to cross the border into the United States.
It should be noted that Virtual Stakeout, an application that Kotaku compares to the popular Nintendo 64 video game Pokemon Snap, allows you to turn in real Mexican people and not some computerized characters, by spotting them on continuously streaming webcams as they try to get into the country.
The program that allows you to turn illegal immigrants into the police cost $2 million to make and works via webcams set up around the border shared between Texas and Mexico.
You can read the full story on Virtual Stakeout here on Kotaku.

Normally, I use "The Verdict" to try to be funny, but this story is just too f###ed up to make light of. I don't care what your stance is on illegal immigration, the police should do their own damn job, not people on the internet.

$2 million to make the program? They could have hired a bunch of Mexicans to do it for about 15 dollars!

Racist priks at Game Pro. How stupid can u guys be? Really how stupid? Are all the illegals crossing the border Mexicans. I hope u guys get sued over the title of the article. You deserve it cause u are all morons. Really none of the editors thought that Including the word "Mexican" in the title would be offensive to a lot of people Mexicans or not? Does any of you have a college degree. Can you guys think straight? How about u go out in the real world and take a good look around. Not all illegal immigrants are Mexicans. As for the other racist priks who think that just because thy were born here they have they own this country. They should know that at one point their great grandparents were probably illegal themselves or WOP's as they used to call them(without papers). We are all fucking immigrants whether we like or not.

You are 100% right , not all illigal immigrants are from Mexico,
BUT this program is set up on the border of mexico and the united states
SO all the immagrants caught on the web cams would be mexican , obviously.
I dont even know why they would want to go to the united states....
I'm Canadian btw

Also there are a lot of non Mexicans who cross that border even though it is the Mexico-USA border. There are people from Africa the Middle East and Eastern Europe who cross the Mexico-USA border just because it is so easy. But Game Pro had to say Catch a Mexican cause it sounds a lot cooler than just Catch an illegal immigrant.
