There is a park in El Alberto, Mexico that is like a Six Flags but for illegal immigration wanna bes. Instead of riding rollercoasters named after superheroes, you can experience what it is like to illegally immigrate to America. It's the next best thing to actually doing it, except you don't risk dying of heat exposure or dehydration, getting shot by the border police, getting sold into sexual slavery or losing your entire life savings to someone who promises to get you across the border but actually leaves you and your children in a van to die.
"Get under the bushes!" someone whispers urgently in the dark. "Immigration is coming!"
Estrada and 20 other Mexicans hit the ground, crouching among thick branches and brambles. Red and blue lights streak overhead, and then a voice booms in English: "Hello, this is Border Patrol."
If this were in the United States, Estrada probably would be detained and deported. Instead, it's all happening at a park in central Mexico, where Estrada and others have paid about $18 each for a simulated experience of what it's like to cross the U.S. border."
I would do it, except its five hours and I don't have the patience. If I can't learn how to break the law in two hours or less, it just isn't worth it. Mexican park gives visitors a border run for their money - USATODAY.com
