Politics: Xtreme Illegality

A Mexican theme park in Hidalgo offers people, mostly affluent Mexicans, the opportunity to experience what it is like to sneak across the US border. Or a simulation of it.
Advertising for the mock journey ... tells the pretend immigrants to "Make fun of the Border Patrol!" and to "Cross the border as an extreme sport!"

Word of the tourist attraction has provoked much head-scratching among immigrant advocates in the United States and real-life immigrants who have made the trek across the border.
Yup, I'm scratching my head right now.
