U.S. border patrol agents Friday found a crude tunnel, apparently used for smuggling, underneath the concrete-lined Rio Grande River near El Paso, Texas.

The discovery came as authorities were investigating suspicious activity in the city storm drain system and came upon a juvenile from Mexico with 200 pounds of marijuana.

“Brewer was right.”

Absolutely!

The border is totally out of control, the drug cartels are about to take over the US and the Federal government does nothing, except sue a state that dared to try to do something about criminal aliens.

The chaos appears to advance the interests of whoever is REALLY in charge of the US government.

In stage 1, as the emergency builds, the welfare rolls build.

Then in state 2, a de facto state of emergency would make people more amenable to Marshall Law. The enemy of Those Who Rule is people who require limited government.

Stage 3 features some catastrophic emergency requiring governement takeover, or this takeover simply ensues.

Part of the problem is, when we try to secure the storm drains, it inevitably rains hard and floods in Mexico, and we end up having to pay to fix it, although the flood damage is on their side. We ended up paying for this one:

They need an immediate explosion and cave in—don’t bother checking the tunnel first.

That Jan Brewer is such a liar.
