"Cross the Border as an Extreme Sport!"

No, this is not from the Onion: it's real. US citizens like Mauricio Palacios, 30, pay 150 pesos each to be chased across the Mexican desert by the "Border Patrol", in reality Hnahnu tribespeople. Why? Just ask Mauricio, who said afterwards that "It was cool - it was very fun".

The idea, apparently, is "to build empathy for migrants by putting people in their shoes". Or, you know, to make money by exploiting and cheapening the immigrant experience. One or the other.
