| Mexico's 'Migrant Mountain' (you are not going to believe this) |
| 2007-02-25 |
| Millions of migrants have crossed illegally from Mexico into the United States. Their experience could hardly be more real. But now at a controversial theme park in Mexico, tourists can pretend to be an illegal migrant. Tourists pretend to be illegal migrants who are chased and shot Torch, check. Heavy boots, check. Willingness to hide under bushes, check. Ability to see in the dark, an advantage. Preparation for what, you might think? A hike across Dartmoor? Try a night out in a theme park. |

| #4 A bit further on, the real heavy stuff began. The shooting, I mean. They had assured us that the fake border guards were using blanks, but they certainly sounded real. "Come out, we know you are there," the guards taunt us, as we crouch in our bushes. Yeah, I wish... |

| #3 Agreed, NS, it's a Mexican Government training camp for the invasion of the US. Call 'em immigrants, if you wish, but they're still invaders and would be colonizers to me. |

| #2 It ain't a theme park, it's the Mexican version of Ft. Irwin. |
