AUTHORITIES ALONG U.S., MEXICO BORDER FIND TUNNEL WITH RAIL SYSTEM, SOLAR-POWERED LIGHTING UNDER CALIFORNIA
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Mexican and U.S. law enforcement agencies discovered a highly sophisticated underground tunnel—featuring a rail system and solar-powered lighting—running underneath the border between Mexico and California.
The San Diego sector of U.S. Customs and Border Protection are investigating an unfinished tunnel they believe drug smugglers and human traffickers were building that was found starting at a residence in Jacume, in the Mexican state of Baja California. On September 19, Mexico State Police, Policia Estatal Preventiva (PEP), and Mexican military forces found the tunnel opening approximately 221 feet south of the border. The tunnel continued north, running underneath the border between the two countries, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) report released Tuesday.
Those building the tunnel had not yet created an exit point at a U.S. location yet, but the underground passage did feature two sump pumps, a solar-powered lighting system and comfortable ventilation. Additionally, a rail system ran the entire length of the tunnel into the United States.

Points out reasons Trump's wall is not needed
el paso proved why we do need it.
can we stop most of them from entering? easily.
can we stop all of them all? no. but that does not mean we should not try.
the open border globalists should find a new hobby... that game is over.
Change the work "entering" to "killing" and isn't this the same argument for gun control???
so NO, not the same kettle of fish, but hey nice try.
hint: the "it is just like" or "same as" argument... never actually works.
if ya want to talk gun control start another seed and I will pop right over with a few common sense gun laws for ya.
till then? stay on topic. thanks
the topic is..... fence went up and violent crime went down predictably.
But as soon as they cross the border they have the exact same Constitutional rights that any citizen has. That FACT is in the Constitution.
Nice try, but no cigar.
Over two hundred years of Supreme Court law have established that persons who enter the country unlawfully and bear no connections to the U.S. do not have the full scope of affirmative constitutional rights of a U.S. citizen.
The U.S. Constitution recognizes the humanity of all people who are present within its borders, regardless of whether they enter legally or illegally, are temporary or permanent. Undocumented immigrants are constitutional “persons,” but they do not have all the rights of a U.S. citizen. The Constitution protects all immigrants (legal and illegal) against “wanton or malicious infliction of pain” by government officials and from “gross physical abuse.” See, e.g., Castro v. Cabrera, 742 F. 3d 595 (5th Cir. 2014). The Supreme Court also recognizes that mere presence gives all immigrants a limited set of due process rights relating to their process of immigration, deportation or detention. See, e.g., Demore v. Kim, 538 U.S. 510 (2003).
The protections that illegal immigrants have against harm are negative liberty rights, i.e., to prevent. The right to an elective abortion is an affirmative liberty right. Centuries of Supreme Court precedent establish that illegal immigrants who have not developed connections with the country do not have the full scope of affirmative liberty rights that are reserved for citizens. The vesting of the full scope of constitutional rights occurs upon naturalization, when a person becomes a citizen – it does not occur when one presents oneself unlawfully at the border.
And you think that would work for a 2k wall that will be destroyed in the first year. Ha ha ha
el paso's wall/fence has lasted more than a year.
the only thing that will be destroyed in the first year?
the lefts constant supply of new demo-rats.
There is NO WALL in El Paso or anywhere else along the border...
Got the cigar, but you should put yours out.
Read the court cases cited - you'll learn something.
From your link:
Bollard:
a short post used to divert traffic from an area or road.
synonyms: pole · stake · upright · shaft · prop · support · picket · strut · pillar
Only in Trumpworld is a 'bollard' fence a wall...
Well, props then for using clean energy.
This is why you need the wall. The wall forces determined criminals to dig tunnels, which our agents often find before the tunnel is even completed. It takes moments to walk across an open border, but it takes months to dig the tunnel. Slowing these people down makes it much easier to stop them and even catch them. Additionally, it discourages others from even making the attempt. Modern sensors in the new walls make it even easier to detect such digging.
Not really any fence would do if technology was used, in nam we had a device that showed us tunnels, to some degree,
Ground radar on 2000 miles of wall.
Sure, whatever works is fine with me.
How much are you willing to have your taxes increased to, to support the installation and upkeep of everything necessary to secure the southern border?
Not a choice we have to make. Try reducing other government spending instead. Democrats never talk about just spending less. And it's not as if this or that thing is not a nice goal or a good idea. It's just that some things could be handled by the private sector and might even create some jobs along the way.

Plus, there is whatever it costs to pay for services enjoyed by illegal aliens, chase down the crime they take part in, prosecute and incarcerate them, followed by dealing with them committing even more crimes, etc. and so forth.
So I assume you and Tacos is okay with pulling the money out of the defense budget? That is the largest overblown budget we have. They'll barely miss the trillion dollars.
Now it's a trillion dollars.
Well the wall is over 73 billion. The tech is the expensive part. Installation, configuration, testing, maintenance, replacements, and upgrades.
So yes, I think a trillion dollars for a 2000 mile stretch, that keeps things tight enough to not allow anyone through without detection.

2 notes.
The article is a couple of months old.
And it was the Mexican Police who discovered the tunnel not CBP or any of the many US law enforcement departments involved.
Shades of Hamas and Hezbollah.
Shades of Viet Nam
Ole Trumpty Dumpty had a great wall
of China,
until his bull
market ran through shopping for Chinese
take out, and smashed it like Gallagher and a Thornton waterMelon
.
deseed full that Donald iz,
Planted by Planters, Putin, and some other Nutz, known as the GOP
Trumpty Dumpty demanded a wall,
Trumpty Dumpty had a bad fall (when Dems won the house),
All Putins horses and all Putins men
Couldn't put Trumpty together again...
not bad
as Putin, imo, is the King, that Trump is on his knees for, and doing more than bowing ,
and correct, once Trump hits the ground, as his torrid autunm has only just begun
there will be NO putting him back together, as he will crumble, and it will begin the healing of a nation, Putin this predicament, by an ignorant public, manipulating media, and a treasonous traitor that sold out the country and his soul,
as his only god has always been Greed, and, a Greed or not, he is free to believe whatever Religion he chooses, but his choice, has affected All of US,
just as the choice of the people, via the EC, has left all of US a tad more Broken, all due to peoples need for an immediate Fix , of money and power,
that do the spoils, let sour
as the classless tasteless assless chap lass , one Putin in place, cannot save Face
he is a
DISGRACE
I'm all for leaving the tunnel. Just line it with M18A1 Claymore Mines and flash bangs (on the US side). Mix up the combination all set to go off by tripwire. After a few months just fill it with concrete.
Little blood thirsty aren't ya
Nope. All about protection. 26 years in the military I've learned to be creative with defenses.
