Border Patrol agents in California just made a huge discovery.
The federal agents found a nearly 3,000-foot underground passageway from San Diego to Tijuana, completely outfitted with lights and ventilation, used by the cartels to move drugs from Mexico into the U.S.
From Fox News:
Agents found the tunnel — which linked Tijuana and San Diego — in early April while it was actively under construction.
The underground passageway ran under part of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry and had a projected exit point near or inside a commercial warehouse space in San Diego, according to an announcement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
They found the opening to the tunnel in a United States warehouse in San Diego.
Some business was actively renting out space to the Mexican drug cartels?
The tunnel — which reached depths of around 50 feet underground at its deepest point — measured 2,918 feet long, 42 inches tall and 28 inches wide. It was equipped with lighting, electrical wiring, ventilation systems and a track system for transporting large amounts of contraband.
This was not some hole in the ground tunnel like you see in The Great Escape. This was more like one of the tunnels under Stalag 13 in Hogan's Heroes.
The United States worked with Mexico to find the other end of the tunnel in a nondescript Tijuana home. It was recently covered with tile so it's apparent they had planned to shut the tunnel down.
And even if they hadn't planned to shut it down, it will be once the USBP pours concrete down the hole, totally filling it in.
