How to become an illegal alien, by the Mexican government

The Mexican government has published a comic book that gives tips for "migrant" workers on how to cross into the US and remain here. Check out the article linked in the title, and see this excerpt:

The book is being distributed as a free supplement to El Libro Vaquero, a popular cowboy comic book, in five Mexican states that send many migrants to the United States: Zacatecas, Michoacán, Puebla, Oaxaca and Jalisco. The government plans to print 1.5 million copies.

The book comes with a yellow disclaimer saying it does not promote undocumented immigration, and it repeatedly warns against crossing illegally. But it gives no information about the steps for seeking a U.S. visa.
