Clash on presentation of border deaths

Mass. Company Draws Fire for Immigration Game App

BOSTON (AP) — A game developed by a Boston-based tech company that allows users to drive a truck full of immigrants through the desert and try not to have them tossed out is drawing fire from some immigrant advocates.

Quick summary-
Many saw this video game as a racist joke of the hundreds of people that die, everyhting in trying to cross the border from Mexico to the United States. The gamers regretfuly said that the game was a satiristic way of showing the amount of people that loose their lives. With the intertwined views on the way of mounring/honoring the tragedies that occur near the borders, this piece is presented as a clash of views.
