Drug Tunnel Discovered - Mexico/U.S. Border

(CNN) -- U.S. border patrol agents investigating a caved-in road discovered a tunnel linking the United States and Mexico, the third such passage found in three years near the San Ysidro, California, crossing, authorities said Wednesday.
Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, said agents found the 35-foot long, 3-foot-by-3-foot tunnel on Monday.
"It's unclear what it was used for, but inside we found trash and other evidence indicating people had been inside recently," Mack said.
That evidence has given investigators good leads, she added.
The tunnel -- which Mack described as "primitive" -- surfaced in U.S. territory in a strip of land between the border fence and a public parking lot. It's just west of the San Ysidro port of entry into the United States, one of the busiest land border posts in the world, she said.
A longer, more sophisticated tunnel was discovered in the same area in 2003, when a man was spotted lifting bales of marijuana from it and loading them into a pickup, Mack said. A tunnel found in 2004 was a link to the sophisticated underground passage, she added.
Tightened border security since the September 11, 2001, attacks is the likely cause for an increase in U.S. to Mexico tunneling, Mack said. At least 15 tunnels have been found in California and Arizona since 9/11, she said.
"We've now got a dedicated tunnel task force, which works with the [Drug Enforcement Administration] and border patrol to proactively look for tunnels," Mack explained.

There was an underground tunnel from Vancouver over the border as well that was just discovered last year, that was being used to run drugs as well. Some people are willing to do anything.. now that's dedication.

they don't know what it was used for??? lol, yeah right.
I posted a link this week in the stoner thread about how they found a tunnel from mexico and TWO TONS of pot...so I think it's safe to say that tunnel, if it's a different one, is either used to smuggle drugs or people

| Two tons of marijuana found in U.S.-Mexico tunnel Jan. 26, 2006. 02:24 PM ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO � Authorities said they discovered more than 2 tons of marijuana in a cross-border tunnel that began near the Tijuana airport and ended inside a warehouse on the U.S. side. The 2,400-feet long passageway is longer than most of the 21 cross-border tunnels that have been discovered since authorities began keeping track after the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said. "It was like being in a cavern or a cave," said Michael Unzueta, customs special agent in charge in San Diego. The tunnel's discovery prompted the U.S. Attorney's office in San Diego to open a criminal investigation, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mexican authorities found the entrance about 100 metres south of the border on Tuesday, and officers on the U.S. side found the exit Wednesday. Mexican officials allowed reporters and photographers, including an Associated Press photographer, into the tunnel late Wednesday. The tunnel was about five feet wide and high enough for an adult to stand inside, had a cement floor, and lights mounted on one of the hard soil walls. It was equipped with a pulley system on the Mexican side. Four tunnels have been discovered this month in the Tijuana-San Diego area, including more primitive tunnel that was also found Wednesday when a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle struck a sinkhole. |

it was a major tunnel, with concrete reinforcements throughout the tunnel, ventilation, drainage, and the most amazing part, it was almost a mile long.
