“Smuggle Truck: Operation Immigration" | Smuggle Illegal Aliens iPhone Ap

A new iPhone application is encouraging people to turn a blind eye to the illegal alien crisis in the United States. The objective of the game is to smuggle as many illegal aliens as possible. Smuggle Truck: Operation Immigration was developed by a Boston company (no surprise, you didn't think you would see this coming from Arizona did you?), Owlchemy Labs.



Developer Alex Schwartz said the idea for the satirical game came out frustration friends faced while trying to immigrate to the U.S.

“We felt like this issues was kind of a bit taboo for games and popular media,” said Schwartz. “So we wanted to build something . about this struggle that we could put into our work and our passion, which is making games.”

Schwartz said the message that developers what to send out through the game — it’s so tough to legally emigrate to the U.S. that it’s almost easier to smuggle yourself over the border despite the dangers.
