Every year, thousands of Mexicans
illegally cross the US border. To find out exactly how it's done we went
to El Alberto, Mexico to film the experience.
El Alberto lies
800 miles south of the US border in the state of Hidalgo. It's pretty
much like any other town of 3,000 people, except in El Alberto they
offer tourists the chance to participate in a simulated illegal border
crossing. It all happens at a standard recreational park with swimming
pools, river trips, zip lines, and the other typical fare. We took a few
cameras and headed for the EcoAlberto Park to spend some late-nights
running through underground tunnels on the heels of our personal
"Coyote" while being chased by border patrol. While we were there, we
crashed a quinceñera party and saw El Alberto from the perspective of
the locals.

This just shows how screwed up the immigration situation is on multiple levels from the governments on both sides of the border down to the people just trying to make a living.

@insurgent22 It's not so much that the immigration situation is screwed up... it's that the government on both sides of the fence is on some bullshit.

You know that story about "more mexicans leave America than come to" is nothing but bullshit. It's to take the focus off the illegal immigration problem.
And someone needs to fucking bomb EcoAlberto Park...where they train immigrants what to expect when crossing. (skip to 03:17)

@MatBower Not really... I know tons of Mexicans and South Americans that fucking hate it here(mainly because of dumb assholes like you)... the only reason they are here is to make money and go back. Why would you want to stay somewhere that constantly talks shit about you??? Illegal immigration is used to take the focus off of internal problems with the government... blacks, hispanics, etc have always been scapegoats. It's always way easier to blame someone else for being a dysfunctional shit he More..
