There have been forty tunnels discovered traveling from the Mexico side of the border into the United States. They have just found the second one this week. This one was at an official border crossing:
Border agents noticed a small hole in one of the gate’s vehicle lanes on the U.S. side leading out of downtown Nogales into the Mexican sister city of the same name on Sunday. They found a crudely built opening to the 30-foot-long (9-meter-long) tunnel.
Officials believe this is the first tunnel dug directly underneath a legal crossing gate along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Nice observation. Now hold on to your hats for this next quote. It’s a doozy:
“If they can’t get through us, it seems they are going to try to go under us,” said a U.S. border customs spokesman.
Since when has it been difficult to cross the border into America? No disrespect to the Border Patrol. It isn’t you I’m being critical of, but seriously, this administration is far from serious about controlling the borders. It isn’t that they can’t get through you. There aren’t enough of you down there to secure the border. This was just a convenient way of trafficking.
