There is no stopping the supply as long as there is the demand.

How come the drug warriors don't seem to undertsand this?

This should surprise no one...I'd be surprised if there aren't hundreds more. For years, the North Koreans have built invasion tunnels under the border with South Korea. Some of these have been big enough for three tanks or trucks to sit side by side, ready and waiting for the order to roll beneath the DMZ, and into the South. What bothers me most about this story is not that drugs are being smuggled in through this (and the others that are surely there) tunnel, but the terrorists, the weapons, etc., that are likely flowing in, too.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

A non traditional definition of the underground railroad. There are probability nine more for every one that gets discovered. People in LE I used to talk to would tell me busts are selective and timed around elections and other events to promote certain politicians and police cheifs. The war on drugs acomplishes nothing more than raising the profits of drug smugglers for taking risks. You have got to ask yourself, why do drug kingpins make billions of dollars smuggling marijuana when it can be grown in just about any part of the world ?

I've lived in Southern Arizona for almost 15 years. Every couple of years the local papers carry articles about tunnels under the border in Douglas or Nogales. The last one I remember had many of the same features as in this tunnel - the wood reinforced walls, lights, and air. The floor in this one was concrete - no rails.

That's a LOT of dirt to move, where did they take it and why didn't anyone notice what would have been truckloads of dirt being hauled away AND truckloads of supplies being carried in (concrete and cart rails)? Border patrol? What a joke.

So why do we use all this high-tech equiptment to spy on citizens in D.C.(for example),instead of deploying it to secure our borders?I've heard that there are satellites that can read a license from space.Why doesn't the US use this to patrol our borders?It may not be able to see tunnels,but it would certainly record things disappearing into these holes in the ground.
