Mexico's Migrant Mountain

I just read this article from the BBC.

My only reaction: one of the distinctive hallmarks of Mexican culture is the sophistication, sheer biting force and prevalence of black humor. Irish and Russian are other cultures known for black humor, but as far as I know, Mexicans take the prize.

From the BBC

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.
