The Migrant Kingdom
A recent report from the BBC program "From Our Own Correspondent" tells of a theme park in Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, which aims to give more Mexicans the experience of trying to illegally enter the United States. That's right, Eco Alberto Park lets you be chased by imitation INS agents across desert and rivers to give you an idea of what it's like to be a real illegal immigrant to the US, all for under 20 bucks!

Is it too far to travel to this theme park while I'm there? Sounds like a blast... I'll bring my night vision goggles and GPS!
[crispy says: It's going to be several hours...probably 5 or more. If you're seriously interested, I could probably get you there okay, but I'm not sure it's an experience I wish to endure personally.]
