| 800 yard long drug tunnel found between Mexico and San Diego |
| 2016-04-21 |
[Ynet] A nearly half-mile-long tunnel leading from Mexico to San Diego was discovered and more than a ton of cocaine and seven tons of marijuana was seized, the US attorney's office said Wednesday. Six people were incarceratedYouse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! The tunnel extends 300 yards from a house in Tijuana, Mexico, to the border and then 500 yards on the U.S. side to a fenced lot in a San Diego industrial area. The tunnel was equipped with a rail system, ventilation, lights and a large elevator, officials said. The exit on the US side is about 3 feet wide and was covered by a trash bin. The six people arrested in San Diego on Friday were charged with crimes involving drugs and construction of the tunnel. The discovery demonstrates the enduring appeal of tunnels to smugglers, despite the significant time and money required to build one. Dozens of tunnels have been found along the US-Mexico border in recent years, some equipped with hydraulic lifts and electric rail cars. |

| #9 To be fair, it is a superior effort compared to the high speed rail project. |

| #8 Free 'Obamatoll' cards, or a free Obamaphone App then. Makes perfect sense, or as much sense as anything else the indolent bugger comes up with. |

| #7 How soon will the Obama regime begin installing toll booths ? They're poor so they get a waiver (see - Obamacare, Social Security, et al). However, the Donk ward heelers will be around later to 'collect' at their destination. |

| #6 Good thing they don't need tunnels for the soon-to-be democratic voters. That'd be too dangerous! /sarc Unless, of course, there are other tunnels.... |

| #4 Also you can put iron bars down pretty deep that are attached to sensors to find someone trying to cut through them or dig under them. It makes it so expensive and risky that people mostly stop trying to smuggle in that way. |

| #3 One of the arguments against Trump's wall is that smugglers will use tunnels. My counter argument is that tunnels are expensive, dangerous and time consuming to build. Then when the authorities find the tunnel all that investment goes down the tubes. The wall will raise the stakes. I still think the wall should be built. |
