They could have claimed they were Mexican.

They would have been given voter registration, welfare, jobs, and free admission to the dombulbcrat convention.

This is all illegals need as an excuse, if caught.

We can catch and return Canadian kids but not Mexican kids?

I did that many years ago while still in Saskatchewan when I was a wee kid. Back then, we would walk 3 fields to cross into the US. The US border guards got tired of us eventually going into the border city 7-11 everyday that he would waive us in. Going back, we would have snacks and pop for the guards so they knew us by name. It was and always be cheaper in the US. After 9/11, everyone of us were aholes (thanks a lot you mooslum scumbags)

Why can’t we set up a straight to Canada path from illegals to go through, a “sanctuary” path.

Canadians are SO open minded, they would take them all.

This has got to stop! We need a wall to keep canucks out. They come over here 15 to a truckload and take jobs from illegal aliens from Mexico. Many of them head for Florida during the winter months. They bring their disgusting habits like hockey, curling, and ice skating. They say things like “aye” and cartoons like Dudley Doright!

I’d never heard of this game until a couple weeks ago.

Now it seems there’s at least one news story about it every day.

Same here. My favorite was the two players that walked off of a cliff near San Diego while staring at their phones.

Has anyone died while playing yet ? It just opened in Japan this weekend and already there was a report of a Brazilian man found by police along a busy freeway looking for monsters after wondering away from a family barbecue. Bizarre. I think we are already halfway to a world where they exist for real.

Lots of potential Darwin Award winners playing Pokemon Go.

And fell about 100 feet and lived tell the tale, only suffering moderate injuries.

Yep, that was the first time I’d heard of it. Then came the stories of some Moslem nations issuing fatwas for playing it. Now this.
