Tagged: border, Iowa, protest, studentPosted on: April 19th, 2007“Facing pressure from their fellow students plus city and university officials, the University of Iowa College Republicans on Wednesday canceled a planned game in an Iowa City park that would focus on the illegal immigration issue.
“We canceled the event because it no longer came to be about the border, but illegal immigrants. We dont want to be pegged as racist or anti-immigrant. It just evolved into something far beyond what we were planning,” said Greg Baker, president of the U of I College Republicans.”
