[FONT=&][FONT=&]A tunnel that Mexican authorities suspect was used to transfer drugs and people across the border was discovered this week near Arizona, the third such tunnel found in the past month.

The Arizona Republic first reported Friday on the tunnel near Nogales, Sonora, across from Nogales, Ariz. Mexican Federal Police posted a video of the tunnel earlier this week. The police said in the video that the tunnel was about 32 feet long, but provided limited information beyond that.

It is the third tunnel to be found in a month amid the partial government shutdown and increased debate over President Trump's proposal to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

A representative from the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment on Saturday...

they find them and destroy them. The cartels put a lot of money and effort into tunnels.
Border control found 3 this month -which is what the border wall is supposed to do.
Keep people from walking across in the 10's of thousands, and restrict the flow to tunnels which are found and destroyed

The border wall Is supposed to do that? Are you crazy? Tunnels are a victory? WTF

Secure checkpoints along the American-Mexican border have become an increasingly popular entrance for drug smugglers entering the United States, a fact that could undermine President Donald Trump's argument for a border wall.

Customs agents at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the busiest land border crossing in the world, check 50,000 vehicles and 20,000 pedestrians on an average day — and they do it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Located just south of San Diego and a few miles north of Tijuana, there are countless attempts to bring drugs across the border: some successful, some not.

“We’re looking at everyone. We’re looking at illegal narcotics, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, all entering the borders,” said Sidney Aki, Customs and Border Protection Director of the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

Border agents have seen drug seizures swell, and heroin and methamphetamine have become increasingly commonplace. The amount of heroin nabbed by agents has quadrupled since 2010 and meth seizures have tripled.

Smugglers hide the drugs wherever they can: often tucked deep inside the cars they’re driving across the border.

“For us hard narcotics are trending, particular heroin and methamphetamine — the packages are getting a little bit smaller for us,” said Pete Flores, CBP Director of Field Operations, San Diego Sector. “The number of them have increased obviously because the packaging is smaller and in order to put them in deeper concealment in the vehicles.”

"PHOENIX — Federal authorities have discovered a sophisticated drug-smuggling tunnel that went from a home in Mexico to an abandoned fast-food restaurant in Arizona.

The Homeland Security Investigations division of the Department of Homeland Security says it got word in April that there was a tunnel leading to an old Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that's not in operation in San Luis, Arizona, just about 200 yards north of the border."

The other little 'detail' considering FENCES or WALLS are above ground, some of the tunnels went down 6, 11, 12 feet according to the articles. Are we planning on putting pilings down that deep? Won't that be pretty expensive?

Here's another very expensive detail. Many TUNNELS ran under businesses, restaurants, buildings in Mexico and others came up under other businesses, restaurants, BUILDINGS in AZ and CA. Do we have to eminent domain the buildings on the US side as well or blow them up?

You tell me. Why would it make a difference or are you say NO tunnels run under 'WALLS'? Or these 3 tunnels in this specific article didn't run under any section of fence, wall, or barbed wire? It doesn't matter.

You do realize CHAPO was freed by a tunnel that was built up to and UNDER THE PRISON. I'm pretty sure we didn't put him in a "maximum security prison" in MEXICO. I'm pretty sure it had WALLS.

Kinda MISSED the point didn't ya? FOUND. How many are "unfound". We are discussing the EFFECTIVENESS of a border walk, right? Or is the wall a symbol now?
