Authorities seized 12 tons of marijuana and arrested 22 people after discovering one of the longest cross-border tunnels ever dug between the U.S. and Mexico, officials said Thursday.

The passage connecting warehouses in San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, was about 2,400 feet long and 30 feet deep. It was lit, ventilated and equipped with a rail system—hallmarks of the most sophisticated tunnels found along the border. …

They’ve already received job offers from the Obama administration.

Between radar and sonar we can look underground like it was a window pane. Failure to do so is a political failure.

The Democrats and RINOs would have us believe these Mexican narco-terrorists and their mules are `Americans who just haven’t been documented yet’ and if you raise your voice and demand protection from the invasion, well, you must be a racist, xenophobic or a `nativist’.

So basically our government is not on our side.
Don’t believe that?
Who did they give weapons to?
Who are they trying to take weapons from?

It is allot harder to dig a tunnel that to walk though some of the holes in the fence we have now in some places. A fence by it’s isn’t enough. I don’t know how easy it to detect a tunnel 30ft down. I’ll need to check into that. But shows fences do work.

Exactly.

Just look at the Israeli-Pali border. Without tunnel detection tech Israel would be inundated with subterranean knife thugs.

Drugs today, camel humpers tomorrow, but remember the most important thing is that our border is more secure under obamaramadingdong and his buttmonkeys than at any other time in our history!

The Rio Grande flows through Colorado, New Mexico and Texas; only in Texas does it form the border with Mexico.

If this tunnel goes under any bodies of water, it’d most likely be the Tijuana River.

A wall won’t keep 100% of the illegal immigrants out, but I bet it will keep 90% out. That would be a noticeable and welcome effect. I say build a fence now all along the Southern border or once we get a real President in office who won’t veto sensible legislation.

Seems Trumps fence will have be built on caissons 30 ft deep.

A drop in the bucket.

So they weren't bringing any of the popular mind-altering drug alcohol through that tunnel? I wonder why that is ...

after discovering one of the longest detected cross-border tunnels ever dug between the U.S. and Mexico

Fixed it.
