The idea of a theme park in Mexico aimed at allowing guests to experience an illegal border crossing is pretty interesting to me. Of course this type of thing causes a lot of controversy: why would anyone pay 150 pesos (about $15) to climb fences, hide in ditches, and wait for a fake coyote to take them to to an American city? Some advertisements for this theme park entice people with sayings such as, "Make fun of the Border Patrol!" and "Cross the border as an extreme sport!"
Intended to make people more aware of what immigrants crossing the border go through, this theme park in Hidalgo, Mexico attracts tourists not only from the United States, but also Europe and Asia. For more information from the AZCentral.com article, follow here.
