The tunnel had not yet been finished and did not have an opening on the U.S. side. However, the tunnel was equipped with a ventilation system, water lines, electric wiring, reinforcement of its walls, and shoring.

[Mariner]

The Wall could also close down these tunnels.

Just run a network of seismic sensors along it. Nothing sophisticated, but reliable.

As soon as the digging starts, a location alert to CBP.

Then they can allow the enormous expenditure of resources on an asset they can terminate very late in the game. After the millions are spent.

why would a tunnel need a water line? Is that needed to bore the tunnel in the first place?

I guess this is just a runner-up --

Aztec or Mayan?

[wbarmy]

I think it was seismic sensors that found the tunnel in the first place, since there was no US exit side.

I would argue that Mexican water is not pure enough for drinking and pure chlorinated American water for free is a bonus to the cartel.

[AdSimp]

Doesn’t look up to code. Where are the building inspectors?

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

[COBOL2Java]

They had plans for the tunnel!

[LibWhacker]

Sounds like they needed a better tunneling engineer!

[Cuttnhorse]

I guess this is just a runner-up --

Called a Pilot Bore

You can see by your image the cartels are serious but need more money to finish

or waited till the workers all got inside and follow the Israeli method and collapse both ends. Let God sort it out while sending a strong message.

[NativeSon]

Hogan’s Heroes did it better.

AP Wire - Seen here, the tunnel opens up at a local Arizon DMV directly under the voter registration counter. Both a stimulus check and a Mocha Double Grande are handed to the immigrant. They are then sent on their way ...

[ThunderSleeps]

Maybe for cooling - ie. a mist system in concert with the ventilation? More likely used while it was being dug - to spray down the active digging site and keep dust down.
