Come on in, bring your own water though.

The Mexican government is distributing a comic-book guide that warns would-be migrants about the perils of crossing illegally into the United States and offers tips to stay safe -- enraging some advocates of stricter immigration policies in the United States who argue the booklet encourages illegal migration.

About 1.5 million copies of the pocket-size book titled "Guide for the Mexican Immigrant" were published by Mexico's Foreign Relations Department and distributed as a free supplement in comic books popular with adults that are sold throughout the country. The booklets are also available online and at Mexican consulates in the United States.

The booklet, which officials began distributing last month, explains the safest way to enter the United States is with a U.S. visa and a Mexican passport. But it also offers tips on avoiding serious injury or death to those who have decided to cross illegally.

Critics argue the tips serve more as instructions on how to cross illegally than as a deterrent to would-be migrants.

Every year, hundreds of migrants die in the desert, where temperatures soar above 100 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, and many drown while attempting to cross the Rio Grande. In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, there were 325 migrant deaths along the entire U.S.-Mexican border, according to the U.S Customs and Border Protection Bureau.

You know, unless you are Native American, you didn't just pop up here. You came here. However, when the country formed, it made rules. Rules are there for a reason. Choose to ignore those rules at your own peril. Now, there will be humanitarian groups that choose to ignore legality in the name of humanity. That doesn't sit well with me.

I've always liked the saying "If you do the crime, you do the time". If you try to sneak into a country and die trying, well, that is the price you paid for your actions. The US is nice. They will detain you and send you back. Other countries aren't so nice. You will get sent back in a wooden box. You just don't hear many stories concerning people sneaking INTO other countries like the US.

To put a humorous spin on things, the guys at SomethingAwful.com used the Mexican comic book in their Photoshop Phriday article. A fun bit of manipulation indeed.
