I live on the US-Canadian border.  2km away from America to be exact.
And what do we do if the "land of opportunity" seems just out of
reach.  We use the Rail Tunnel under the Detroit River of course.
This tunnel has been in exsistence ever since the technology was
developed to make rail tunnels under water for 1km.  100 years I
think.  Bootleggers used this tunnel during the '20 and Drug Smugglers
and Bootleggers use it today (going to Canada).  Also many people use
it to sneak into America.  Just a few mouths ago a Pakistani fellow go
ran over, and an Irishman got ran over last year (was in Canada for 2
days)  This tunnel is too narrow to get out of the way of trains so if
you use it be sure to hop on a car, but hide because the Border Guard
and Mounties are there all the time on the Canuck side and Border
Service and sometimes FBI and US Army on the Yank side.  This is much
safer to use to smuggle than the Tunnel Bus.  If you are ever in
Windsor, Ontario, Canada (home of the Canadian Club whiskey and the
Chrysler Minivan, and Tool and Die capital of the World) the tunnnel
is on Riverside Drive (obviously) next to the Casino and the Hotel.
If you drive by you will see it.  It leads to Detroit, Michigan.  The
river is almost 1km wide so the tunnel is 1km wide, and there is ALOT
of rail traffic since Free Trade came into place there.  Hide in a
boxcar or a car carrier.  Hide yourself from view.
Oh, and don't forget the gas mask, it is a rail tunnel after all.
