| | Virginia Dare on tunnel rats, typhoid, and taxes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | It became an issue because children were living in the tunnel, not because illegal immigrants were carrying God-knows-what potential epidemics into the lettuce fields and restaurant kitchens of the United States. |
 | | The authorities, we were told, installed barriers on the Arizona side of the tunnel, which caused the diversion of the illegal-immigrant thoroughfare to an overland route outside of town but only for a day or so, for the kids then had the gates down, and things returned to what passed for normal. |
 | | Hand-wringing and saccharine dialogue followed, and the story closed with the Bad Authorities setting a grille into the tunnel despite the fact that the poor unfortunate youths were still at large, presumably now cut off from their means of livelihood. |
