Drug smugglers were atempting to build a tunnel under the Canadian-US border. Not much details here, but pretty amazing what they were trying to do.

Or under the border, as the case may be.

Or it could have been a secret plan to get cattle into the US if the border didn't re-open.

It is the secret liberal democrat underground railroad to Canada. Since Bush got elected there is a thick trail of sandal tracks, granola, kerry bumper stickers and tie dye headed to these covert locations.

Yeah, I was originally gonna say that, but what with the border reopened, it seemed like the joke would have been about 3 days too late.
