Dirt taken to Mexican side.

Nogales is full of priest tunnels dug from the American side when Mexico was persecuting the Catholic Church.. Circa 1910 about. Priests lived in U.S.. slipped into Mexico to mimister to the people. Often killed.

Nogales soil perfect for tunnels.

The NY Slime, a never-ending torrent of misinformation and propaganda, always intended to obscure the truth and give false witness to the Commie left. "All the News That's Fit To Print" is their "motto." A few alternatives would be, "All The News That Fits," “All The News Except That Which We Ignore," or the best in my mind: "We Will Never Allow The Truth to Get in The Way of Our Communist Agenda." Go to Hell Pinch, and everyone around you, you scoundrel.

Which is why if I were President I would have the border patrol at the border with a “Kill at sight” order..they see a smuggler coming in, one bullet should be all it takes..once Trump takes over, he will make sure that these illegals NEVER get Govt goodies, that is why they come here, for the freebies, cut off the goodies and they wont come here

I heard in his immigration speech when he specifically called for the wall to have anti-tunneling sensors. But I doubt this tool listened to the immigration speech.

The tunnels are used for smuggling drugs into the country - not illegals. The tunnels are too valuable to risk discovery for them to use it for that.

Trump said the border will be patrolled above at and under ground.

Journalist can’t report objectively. I know it’s all too obvious.

Yes, what a stupid retarded reporter (but it's the NYT, so I repeat myself). Who says a wall has to be above ground?

As you said...

Israel to build underground concrete wall to block Hamas tunnels from Gaza

By i24news
06/16/2016

Israel's senior defense establishment has decided that a concrete wall will be built along the country's border with the Gaza Strip in an attempt to finally solve the problem of Islamist terror group Hamas using tunnels to carry out attacks, Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot reported Thursday.

According to the report, the wall will be dug to a depth of several dozen meters underground and will also be built above the ground.

Border Patrol agents cannot hear smugglers digging and do not know how many tunnels there are, a gap in border security that homeland security experts say renders talk of a wall moot.

A big difference between sneaking a few pounds of drugs through a tunnel vs. hundreds of thousands of illegals per year. Even with tunnels the wall is not moot.

These are the reason we need a wall at the border.

Smugglers use the tunnels, and the tunnels survive because our border patrol is endlessly trying to nab people simply strolling across the border.

Have an actual border. Then our agents could focus on preventing the smugglers, who are the real problem.
