376 migrants, including 179 kids, used 7 tunnels to get under the US border fence in Arizona

Story's a couple of days old but still relevant.
---------------------------------------------------

Hundreds of migrants used tunnels to get under the border fence in Arizona earlier this week, ABC News reported.

Video footage the outlet obtained shows the reported 376 migrants, including 179 children, walking alongside the US-Mexico border barrier near Yuma, Arizona.

The footage comes amid a government shutdown over President Donald Trump's demands for $5.7 billion in border wall funding, which Democrats have refused to authorize.

Trump's opponents have argued that a border wall is ineffective in stopping illegal border crossings - in part, because of the tunnels.
Nearly 400 migrants crawled through seven tunnels under the border fence in Arizona earlier this week, before surrendering themselves in a group that Border Patrol agents estimate is the largest to ever be apprehended at once, ABC News reported Friday.

General George Patton called fixed fortifications AKA walls "Monuments to man's stupidity".
