Despite significant controversy after this games release way back when, this game is still available for play at some of the major flash gaming sites.

Yes, it says "There is one simple objective to this game, Keep them out... At any cost" with a list of the "enemies": Mexican Nationalist, Drug Smuggler, and Breeder.
Now, I know I said it before about the Ethnic Cleansing game, but there truly are so many games which leave me fairly speechless. Not speechless enough not to write this, obviously. Verbally, however, I find myself only able to utter a few guttural sounds of disbelief, aside from a couple of "What the fuck"s. That racist bigots use video games as a mode of social commentary and a device to spread their hate isn't terribly surprising. It's a powerful medium which gives pleasure to the player - the ideal platform.

While Border Patrol earned (and I truly do mean earned) much controversy for awhile, it receded back into the dark crevices of the online communities attention span. For some time, though, it managed to garner a decent amount of attention. Though it was originally released in 2002, American illegal immigration arguments in 2006 brought the game out from the dark crevices again.
Linda Orlando at Buzzle quite cleverly states:

If you check your e-mail at home or at work and someone happens to send you a little Flash game called "Border Patrol," you may want to think twice before opening it. The reason isn’t because it might contain a virus; the reason is that it might contain an outright disease. The disease is gruesome racial violence, and the game encourages it. [...]Pedro Rios, with the American Friends Services Committee, was outraged when he saw the game. "It tabulates how many people you can kill, how many Mexicans you can kill," said Rios. "It specifically dehumanizes (and) takes away (the) dignity of Mexicans, who are only coming to feed their families and look for better opportunities for themselves." Francisco Estrada, the Sacramento Director for a California civil rights organization whose focus is on statewide public policy, said that the game will only serve to inflame the debate over immigration in the United States. "It’s sad to see the demonstration and promotion of hate since what we’ve seen over the past couple of weeks is a more dignified rational approach," Estrada said.

ABC News, Gameology, and the Anti-Defamation League all still have their permalinks working for the coverage they gave it then. Aztlan Communication Network posted a copy of a hate email they received about their coverage of the game, as well as the PO Box of those promoting the game. Coverage again surfaced in 2008 when YAF Watch - a group "dedicated to tracking the actions of the Michigan State University Young Americans for Freedom, a right-wing student activist group that has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center" - reported that YAF had been promoting the game.

Though the existence of the game itself may not be surprising to me, what is at least relatively surprising is the lack of real surprise and/or disgust by much of the 'online community'. It seems as though for every one report expressing distaste against the game, there are at least 10 threads extolling the harmless fun of the game. Before giving them their day in court, it is important to consider that "harmless fun" doesn't, in my opinion, contain racist slurs.

Also included in my assessment of "harmless fun", as it turns out, is whether or not pregnant women and their children are targeted as "breeders" or proliferators of the unliked 'Other' (aka, genocidal notions targeting women as caregivers).

Of course, strong reactions against this game are widely seen to be the whinings of over-zealous and/or over-sensitive feminists, anti-racists, politicians, sociologists, etc.
From Bryan Crawford: "Regardless of where you come down on the issue, you have to admit this is some hilarious shit."
One charming lad on the City Data forum gives us this gem:

I think the game is hilarious, and so do most of my friends. I know that probably isn't a politically correct thing to say, but when you live in a metropolitan area where the illegals are taking over by the day, you start to get very frustrated, very fast. Obviously I would never take out my frustration in the form of violence toward a living, breathing human being, so this game provides a good outlet. A lot of people I have told about it feel the same way.

On a CalNews board:

Wow, there's a whole lot of idiots all of a sudden wigging out about this "Border Patrol" Flash-based video game, calling it "racist", and even using the term "racist" in an attempt to get a court to supress it.
Well, I went and checked it out. I found it here. I don't know whether that's its actual home, or whether it's also hosted on other sites.
I'm looking at it, and so far I see very little, if anything, "racist" about it. I consider myself extremely sensitive to racism. And I don't see it here. On the contrary, I'm laughing my ass off through the entire 15 or so seconds of the rather poor-quality "game".

With the lovely response

I totally agree with you. If the shoe was on the other foot and white americans who only spoke english were invading mexico on a daily basis in the millions upon millions, they would have a game just the same. Its time for the Illegials to shut the F up and look at the situtation from another perspective. If white english speaking americans invaded mexico, refused to adopt the language, weighed down the government because they refuse to pay taxes, invaded the schools and forced them to speak english also there for slowing down the mexican childrens education, drove around drunk and wrecked peoples lives and property, and have billboards all over the place in english advertising car insurance, housing, and other such living products im sure the mexicans would be pissed also. I'm sick of this crap. Maybe we, as Americans, should go into mexico with semi rigs, get drunk and hit as many people as possible while also damaging as much property as possible and then just say I'm sorry and run back across the border yelling me no speak mexican, me no have insurance, me no have drivers license. I mean get real. Do these people not see this. WAKE THE F UP. Screw a border fence, i'm in favor of land mines.

One surefire way to tell a game isn't racist is if it's deemed awesome among the (insert colorful expletive here) folks, (may they all fall into a fiery pit) at Stormfront.org who ask the all-important question, "How many wetbacks can you nail?"

Unfortunately, I could keep at this all morning. To preserve my own sanity, I choose not to.
The important thing is that Border Patrol is still hosted on:
Nerd Nirvana
uGoto
Ubersite
Howler and
Classic Consoles

I plan to get the contact information for these sites and urge them to remove it. I'm having problems finding a way to get in touch with the chap who runs Nerd Nirvana.

It's possible that some day, these things won't sicken me, and when that day comes, I'll know that my soul has shriveled.
