Americans, it seems, are willing to make a game out of almost anything. Witness the national obsession with turning everything from presidential elections to celebrity love matches into occasions for frenzied wagering. Now it's the deadly serious matter of illegal immigration that's become the subject of gaming, this time online games that draw in US border immigration agencies as well. In 2002, a Flash-based game called "Border Patrol" debuted on the Internet. Now comes ICED!. Set to launch in January, ICED! is an acronym for "I can end deportation," as well as a play on ICE, the acronym for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Homeland Security Department's largest investigative arm.
SKOWHEGAN - Maine Game Wardens, acting on a tip from border patrol agents, arrested two men Thursday in conjunction with the illegal killing of three moose in northern Somerset County. Wardens arrested Ross P. Carroll, 19, and Howard Button, 22, who are currently stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C. The two are believed to be on unauthorized leave from the Marine Corps, according to a press release from the Maine Warden Service. Carroll is originally from Searsport, and Button from Quinlan, Texas.
ECO ALBERTO, Mexico - Halfway through the ordeal, my transformation into an illegal immigrant becomes all too real: running through a cornfield at midnight, hiding in a tunnel, sliding down a muddy hill and sloshing through raw sewage. I tiptoe up a steep ravine and look warily down to a rocky riverbed 20 feet below. With border patrol "agents" hot on my trail, a question forms: When does this game become fun?

A new game and anyone can play: Let's call it Extreme Makeover, the Network Edition. Start with CNN, you say? Sorry, among news networks, it may be beyond hope. Now that Lou Dobbs has taken his mock-up of Barack Obama's "real" birth certificate and honorary membership in the Border Patrol to parts unknown, things may be even worse.

Wednesday's procession and funeral for Maine Warden Service pilot Daryl Gordon lasted more than three hours at the Augusta Civic Center. It ended with a single lasting reminder of the work Gordon did. As five law enforcement planes flew overhead, one flew off alone in the traditional missing man formation. As the single float plane circled Gordon's casket and the crowd of about 2,000 below, a dispatcher called one last time for the fallen warden.

TIJUANA, Mexico -- There is a moment each evening, as the sun melts into the Pacific, when Colonia Libertad is at peace. The dimming light blurs the hilltop slum's rough edges, camouflaging piles of trash in long shadows and making it difficult to tell that some of the tightly packed homes clinging to vertical canyonsides are made of old packing crates and cast-off plastic tarps.

ZAPATA, Texas - The waters of Falcon Lake normally beckon boaters with waterskiing and world-record bass fishing. But this holiday weekend, fishermen on the waters that straddle the U.S.-Mexico border are on the lookout for something more sinister: pirates. Twice in recent weeks, fishermen have been robbed at gunpoint by marauders that the local sheriff says are "spillover" from fighting between rival Mexican drug gangs.
