No, since I don't read or speak Spanish, I haven't read it. For obvious reasons, the Mexican government didn't publish an English version and I have not been able to find someone who translated the entire book. If anyone cares to translate the whole thing, it can be found here
http://www.sre.gob.mx/tramites/consulares/guiamigrante/default.htm. As far as what is or is not included, just Google the comic name and read the 121 entries found. I read about 10-12 of them and they all say the same thing, the legal information was left out. I highly doubt this is an error. I stand by my original statement, publishing a book on how to "safely" commit illegal acts is just wrong.

Of course there are differences between border crossing and drugs, robbery and rape but they also have something in common. All of them are still crimes. If crossing the border wasn't a crime, they wouldn't be called
illegal immigrants.
