U.S. authorities on Wednesday seized a cross-border tunnel that ran the length of four football fields from a restaurant in Mexicali, Mexico, to a newly built house in Calexico, California, following an investigation that netted more than a ton of marijuana and resulted in four arrests.
The tunnel was the 12th completed secret passage that U.S. authorities have discovered along California’s border with Mexico since 2006. They have found more than 75 along the entire U.S.-Mexico border in the last five years, mostly in California and Arizona and many of them incomplete.

shouldn’t they be soccer fields? Mexicans play soccer
and DUI’s- they do that too
What is the soil like? Sand? Clay? Loam?
Thousand gallon tank of propane with a dump valve,just add a source of ignition.
First thing that President Polk should have done after kicking Mexico’s ass was to build a wall and get Congress to define the citizenship laws of this country.
So I guess the Trump Wall needs to extend some distance underground and the area laced with acoustic sensors. And since Mexicans seem to be adept at digging, we can enlist them to dig these deep footings as part of their “paying for the wall.”
pot? they still smuggle pot? you would think we were growing enough here already.
Good luck with that wall.
That would have been too logical.
I am not that familiar with Calexico, but I know Otay Mesa in San Diego where many tunnels have been found. The dirt is hard decomposed granite and limestone. Ideal for tunneling. The walls of the tunnel look like concrete and does not cave in. Calexico is probably the same.
BTW, El Chapo Guzman reportedly visited his daughter in Los Angeles County while he was on the lam. No hay problem
But there is a wall there!!
Exactly!
With Trump’s wall the Border Patrol can spend more time looking for tunnels such as this.
The filthy g******* are smuggling heroin!
Defense! Defense! Defense!
Oh, heck, it’s about time we played some offense.
With Trump’s wall the Border Patrol can spend more time looking for tunnels such as this.They have to do something with all that dirt. Satellite imagery can find that activity easy enough.
I hate Mexicans. And they hate us. They have some stupid notion that the American Southwest belonged to them hundreds of years ago. They don’t give a damn to fix their own country and feel they have a Good given right to just walk on into ours. If they can dig tunnels like this then they can put that energy into fixing the mess of a country God gave them.
Yup. Add a little gas and more oxygen and sell tickets to watch the show.
