Illegal Immigrant Themepark in Mexico
I was watching BBC4 News tonight, there was a great little item on a theme park in Mexico, the theme being illegal immigration into the US. People pay a tenner a time to experience what it feels like to cross the US frontier illegally and to be shot at (blanks). Amnesty International says that it is trivialising the plight.
The US equivalents of "disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" and Daily Mail readers are quite vexed that the Mexicans are being quite cynical about their border controls - viz can be found in this link - US Today (be patient for download)
The biggest and tragic irony is that Mexican children and babies are flogged off to rich US childless couples - so there you have it; Mexicans are still getting into the US despite its Berlin Wall.
Gosh, you've got to hand it to the Mexicans they have a better sense of irony than us - which, sadly, we are fast losing.
