Tunnels Beneath U.S.-Mexican Border

This story, 7 Large Tunnels Beneath U.S.-Mexican Border Raising Security Concerns is a great example of Home Securities ineptness in dealing with border problems.

While key entrance and exit points have been plugged in some of the biggest tunnels used to ferry people and drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border, the passageways remain largely intact raising concerns smugglers reuse them, according to a published report.

According to a report in Tuesday’s Los Angeles Times, seven of the largest tunnels discovered under the U.S.-Mexico border have yet to be filled in, including the so-called Grande Tunnel found in January 2006 that extends nearly half a mile from San Diego to Tijuana.

Filling those tunnels would cost about $2.7 million, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection official

Of course they can’t find the money but have they considered other options?  Probably not.  First option is to get the Mexicans to fill them in since they were most likely dug by Mexicans.  Second option is to get the illegals to fill them.  This should be cakewalk for illegals that do a lot of contruction (destruction) work and you’d think from an estimated 11 million illegals in this country one could form enough work parties to take care of this job.  However the option I like the best is to sprinkle anti-personal mines thoughout the tunnels while informing the likely parties on both sides (smugglers, dope dealers, illegals, etc) of their presence.  That would effectively discourage the use of these tunnels and Darwinize those too stupid to try.

You can do as pajamas media and try and sell those who passed through the tunnels.

More misdirection from you woof, not surprising.  However if you know anything about Mexican border town commerce, you can be sure that for operational tunnels, there are a plethora of Mexican vendors selling water, coke and food not far from the tunnel exit on USA side.

The adv, I posted appeared on Sayanythingblog.

Half the undocumented in this country come on airplanes and overstay their visas.
Gov’t shows little interest in halting the
widespread ignoring of immigration statutes.

Woof, do yo connect through a proxy?  The PJ ads code to visiting IP’s, calculate where the visitor is coming from geographically, and tailor the ad to the visitor.

If the IP you were using came from down along the border somewhere, or from the tropics or Mexico or something, the ad would be tailored to you.

So I hardly think that just because Verizon is advertising in spanish that they’re catering to illegals.  There are people here legally who are more comfortable talking in their first language.

As for half the illegals here being people who overstayed their visas, I’d like to see some facts to back that up.

Rob on the % of Visa Overstayers:

visa overstayer is someone who has entered the United States legally and then illegally overstayed his or her visa or violated the restrictions on Border Crossing Card (BCC) or laser visa.
. Fraudulent and forged visa and BCC passes are included in this category. An estimated average 40-60% of all illegal aliens to the U.S. entered this way.

It seems to me that at least the visa overstayers are known to us and have had some kind of background check.

First we should close the border, then we should look at other avenues of stealing residence in our country.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Seems we could deploy about 1000 of these with full combat loads,

along the border. 

That’d end the problem pretty quick, hey?

In the movie it didn’t turn out that well.  Maybe this time it will be different.

zig, think of it.  Each time one of those suckers exploded a portion of the tunnel would be sealed and there would not be a need for a state-funder funeral.

Wonder what they did with the origiqal tunneling soil.

Hmmm, they’d just have to re-code the uneven terrain algorithm, which shouldn’t be too tough, unless the illegals bring on their own robo-policia, complete with a set of stairs.

From the news releases of of these tunnels are large, truck-sized water drainage conduits, so it didn’t take any work simply to walk through the gosh-darned thing.

P.S. thanks for fixing the image URL, I’m still trying to figure out the image upload thingy.
