An illegal border tunnel?

Is there such a thing as a legal border tunnel?

According the the DHS Secretary, just because it’s illegal doesn’t mean that it’s against the law!

We need to buy some of the new Israel tunnel detection technology... if we cared about really putting a stop to the invasion.

Triple-layer fencing, just like in San Diego, will stop this tunneling business!

You good sir obviously do not know the proper use of politically correct “New Speak” as opposed to “Old Speak” and I will not bother to confuse you farther with the definition of “Double Speak.” Geroge Orwell was a visionary.

Those tunnels are obviously “Undocumented Border Crossings that the Administration will make legal border crossings and no need to fill out papers since you are already here.

When I grew up in Texas in the late 50s and 60s we did not have a problem, I am a gringo. We needed immigrant workers and they came here legally without their families. They worked and had legal protection and sent their money home. Most went home every year and returned the next year to work. Those that were really good workers stayed at the legal request of the managers of the farms and businesses. Many of those eventually became American Citizens and were and are an great asset to our great nation.

On the farm that my grandfather managed I fondly remember Condilatia. She was like a second grandmother to me. If I did something wrong she would whack me upside the head. She did not speak English. We all spoke Spanish. Her husband “EL Jose” was my grandfathers number one man on the farm. As a child I grew up with his grandchildren, they were like part of my family.

When my grandfather retired El Jose’s son Jose became the manager of the farm and it was a big operation. He did not get the job because he was Mexican, he got the job because he was the right man for the job and new how to run the farm.

I miss them.

It would seem that tunnel detection and eradication should have been top priority.
