Border Patrol Press Release Puzzles
A tunnel under the Rio Grande?
 
By David North on April 23, 2019

When I first saw the headline on yesterday's Border Patrol press release "Discovered Tunnel Destroyed in Rio Grande Valley", I was ready to be really impressed (and depressed) by the thought that one of the cartels had dug a huge tunnel under that river.

The release's description that the tunnel, in Hidalgo, Texas, had been "created in an attempt to bypass technology and infrastructure" did not tell me anything about its specific location. (Hidalgo is a crossing point just south of McAllen, Texas.)

The further information that "a criminal organization constructed the man-made tunnel in an attempt to avoid detection while importing people or narcotics," did not help much either.
