Border Patrol discovers 'longest' tunnel yet between Mexico and California

U.S. Border Patrol agents say they discovered a massive tunnel that spans the U.S.-Mexico border on Wednesday.

The 4,309 feet tunnel starts in Tijuana and ends in the Otay Mesa warehouse district in San Diego, authorities said, according to a USA Today report. Border Patrol told the news outlet that it is the longest tunnel it has ever discovered along the Southwest border.

The tunnel is complex, as well, according to the agency. It includes an average depth of 70 feet below ground, an elevator, an extensive rail cart system, forced air ventilation, high-voltage electrical cables and a drainage system, according to the report.

Also, majority of the "wall money" is not going for building the wall, it's going into the pockets of cronies and shithole himself. Look at the material being used.

has not been spent - Sen. Murphy from CT had asked about that last year and wondered why somewhere around 90% of the money allocated had not been spent.

BTW, while I know the LEGAL immigration is down under Trump, I thought I saw statistics about ILLEGAL immigration/undocumented workers actually increasing? But, I'm in the office now.

Raping and pillaging are going on by pirates in suits right under our noses. Our public lands, dollars, and resources are nothing but plunder. This is why they are destroying our government and our world.

The wall was never meant to keep Mexicans out but rather to give Trump's base a collective boner.

"The tunnel entrance was reportedly found by Mexican authorities in August". It was then mapped to San Diego.
