you would think that after dealing with north korea's insanely large tunneling projects for decades, the US would have some decent detection methods.
you would think.
They can detect heartbeats when one is buried in an avalanche. Probably there is this equipment but Fox would complain & you know in this country that ILLEGALS have more clout than us taxpayers - thanks to the "Two-Party Cartel".
I've lived in California and Texas, and saw illegals crossing the border in person. In San Diego they have road warning signs showing illegals running (across the freeway).
Let's be honest, if the US Government really wanted to put a stop to it, it's a simple matter of hiring more guards or stationing some troops by the border. It'd only cost a fraction of our war on Iraq.
But the government is not only unwilling to commit the resources, it provides incentives for the illegals to cross over and give them green cards by lottery.
My theory is that the government is looking the other way because they don't think it's a serious problem. Since the US has a fairly stable birth rate, the government wants immigrants to increase its population. You might not like more people and more cars on the freeway, but the government sure likes more tax payers.
They do....
The assumtion that they want to use them... is a bit naieve..
They would already BE being used... They are not being used ON PURPOSE...
Answer: They were checking for tunnels ! They've been checking for tunnels-and finding them-for quite some time.

You forget the feral gummint gets to hand-line the talent pool for what's left only after America's 25,000 private employers and corporations have netted, seined, long-lined, trawled and dredged it bare of its every creative, innovative, productive and industrious fish.
Feral gummint employees are the dumbest and least competent among US and 80% of everything done by the mindlessly-malignant bureaucracies they have allowed to metasticize under their watches is done by "contractors" which are, to-the-last-man, inevitably corrupted by the process.
No matter how stupid are the drug and peeople-smuggling criminals up against our ferals the one thing they can and do count on is that as long as their lowliest employee is making a Thousand Bucks a day the chance he will be out-thought by a US feral gummint employee is at bet remote.
Hence thirty-five million criminal alien invaders surrounding US -- and drug sales flourishing in every grade school, police station and Wal-Mart parking lot!
"Some decent detection methods?"
