Federal agents on the U.S.-Mexico border discovered what they described as the "most sophisticated tunnel in U.S. history" dug deep below the dunes near Yuma, Arizona, and into Mexico.

Several weeks ago, federal agents working in the Sonoran Desert on the American side of the international border discovered a sinkhole between the primary border wall and the secondary wall. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations brought in to inspect the sinkhole said it was in line with an existing investigation into a cross-border tunnel.

On July 27, Yuma Border Patrol agents were brought in and drilled at the site. Twenty-five feet down, agents uncovered pieces of wood and water hoses, as well as a void that housed the 3 feet by 4 feet interior of the tunnel. Federal law enforcement from HSI, the agency leading the investigation, concluded the tunnel originated more than 1,300 feet south of the border at Calle 10 and Ave. Capitan Carlos G. Calles in San Luis, Mexico. It continued north into the 1300 block of the Los Olivos neighborhood of San Luis, Arizona.

“...equipped with a ventilation system, water lines, electric wiring, reinforcement of its walls, and shoring.’


And rails. They were looking at hauling a lot of stuff.

Keep the tunnel, reinforce the walls and link it to an INS station. Push all the illegal aliens through it back to Mexico. A high-pressure water hose would assist. If it gets clogged, use brown sewage to lubricate the tunnel.

NOPE; acetylene gas and oxygen, let it fill for about an hour or two, then toss in a whiskey/peter grenade.

TUNNEL ALL GONE :)

they shouldn’t have said anything, and waited till the workers all got inside, and filled the tunnel full of skunk essence- just for poops and giggles

I was thinking more like Zyklon B.
