Tourism Has Hit A New Low In Mexico
I just got this email about vacation packages from the travel site Kayak.com- which incidentally I had heretofore felt was the best travel site. Now, I'm not so sure. WTF?!?! No seriously, WTF?!?!?

Immigration and
border patrol seems to be at the top of every political conversation.
At Parque Eco Alberto, you can go on a pretend 'Night Border Crossing
Experience.' The parque is owned by the Hnahnu Indians in Hidalgo, about three hours from Mexico City. The $18, four-hour night hike starts with the Mexico
National Anthem. Your 'coyote' guide, Pancho, pulls off his black ski
mask while actors gather around to scare you senseless along the way.
Run from border control agents; dodge hidden actors shooting (blanks)
at you, and make your way through barbed-wire fences. Survivors are
blindfolded, led across a rickety bridge, and then set free to run
across the border to freedom!
