So at some point, the Hnahnu became experts at crossing the border into the US. The land isn't much good for farming or cattle, and there are almost no paying jobs in El Alberto. They run the Caminata on their land, which is a federal territory grant, almost like an Indian reservation in the United States. These are the Hnahnu, an ancient tribe, here since long before the Aztecs. And I speak Spanish, but I don't get any of the jokes, because they're not speaking Spanish. The people in costume are joking around with each other. But most of the people who go on the Caminata are middle class Mexicans and university students, people who can afford the 200 peso ticket, about $16, people who would probably never need to actually sneak into the US.įor instance, tonight, we're waiting for a group of salespeople from Mexico City that's coming to do the Caminata as a, a corporate team building exercise.
They accused the organizers here of running a training camp for illegal migrants.
Fake border agents wearing Vietnam-era camo, blinged out drug cartel thugs, and migrants, and human smugglers.Ī few years ago in the US, there were some news reports about the Caminata, and right wing blogs jumped all over it.
So I'm just standing around with 40 or 50 locals, all of them dressed up in their costumes. They call it the Caminata Nocturna, the Night Hike. And it's known for a really specific kind of tourist attraction, a simulated illegal nighttime border crossing. We're hundreds of miles from the actual US border in a tiny Mexican village. There's a US Border Control emblem on the door of the pickup.

So I wondered if there are actually cities where these campaigns work. This kind of forced boosterism arrives precisely when things are at their worst in a city. Right? My wife has told me how pathetic Detroit's slogan, "Say Nice Things About Detroit," seemed to her even as a kid.
I have never met a single person who took this slogan seriously.Īnd I always thought that that's how it goes. And at the time, Baltimore was grimy and run down and still recovering from the riots and white flight of the 1960s. And I remember in the 1970s, at a very low moment, the city commissioned a slogan and a song and an ad campaign called Charm City, USA.
