Looks like our illegal alien friends are taking a page from the Palestinian Terrorists’ Handbook:
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Border Patrol agents discovered a 35-foot-long tunnel beneath the U.S.-Mexico border after it caved in and the asphalt roadway above it collapsed, officials said.
The tunnel ended in a patch of vacant land near the San Ysidro port of entry, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She said it was about 3 feet by 3 feet and appeared to have been used recently.
It wasn’t immediately clear when the tunnel was built or whether it might have been used for smuggling drugs or people.
Authorities sealed off the U.S. side with sandbags and metal after discovering it on Monday, Mack said.
The tunnel is across the border from an area that is either owned or leased by Mexican Customs.
I can’t say that I’m surprised. Speculation that Islamic terrorists would be infiltrating the U.S. border by going through Mexico has been rampant for years. It only makes sense that when these terrorists came over here, that they would bring their own bag of tricks with them. The fact that the land that the tunnel uses on the Mexican side of the border belongs to the Mexican Customs Service is just another example of how little effort the Mexican government is putting into stopping the flow of illegal aliens across the border.
In my book, just another demonstration of why we need the border fence NOW.
