Eh, listen up! There’s this indie game called “Take Us North” trying to act serious by making a game about illegally crossing the US-Mexico border. This game? Total pak gai (useless trash)! They want to make you feel sorry for these illegal migrants and say just cross the border no matter what. Like it’s some noble hero story. Bull crap! But first let’s hear from today’s sponsor:

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

Invest While You Still Can

They say it’s all based on “real stories” and “research” to humanize migrants. But no way — they hide all the shady stuff like identity theft, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and how the coyotes (migrant guides) are actually criminals. It’s just a one-sided fairy tale ignoring the messy, illegal, and dangerous truth.

Meanwhile, in real life, the US-Mexico border crisis is still a big headache. In 2021 to 2024, over 7 million migrants tried to cross illegally—mostly from Central America—escaping gangs, poverty, and disaster. The border patrol caught millions, but many more got away unnoticed. Since early 2025, the second Trump administration’s crackdown has cut illegal crossings by over 90%. In May 2025, Border Patrol caught just 8,700 illegal crossers—a historic low compared to last year’s 117,000. The government stopped releasing migrants inside the US too, going from releasing 62,000 in May 2024 to zero in May 2025. This shows the border is becoming more secure but the problem isn’t gone overnight.

So this game comes out trying to make illegal crossing look like some touching journey, ignoring how dangerous and costly it is for communities, border staff, and migrants themselves. It’s disrespectful to those struggling with the real crisis and those who follow the law.

Pok Gai Gamer says: This game is total nonsense, a sneaky trick to mess with your head and push a political story that says anyone can just walk in and break the law. No real facts, just glamorizing lawlessness. Illegal migration? That’s just plain irresponsible—totally fong fei gei—and bad for the whole country.

Ban this pok gai trash now! We don’t need more nonsense telling kids illegal crossing is heroic. Protect your borders, don’t be a fool, and don’t fall for these pok gai lies. Keep your brain switched on!
