Border Patrol discovers new smuggling tunnel in southern US

Border Patrol agents in southern Arizona have uncovered another illegal tunnel running under the U.S.-Mexico border, the latest in a series of discoveries and the result of renewed efforts targeting underground smuggling routes.

The tunnel, according to Customs and Border Protection, ran about 30 feet into Nogales, Arizona. No arrests were immediately made in connection with the tunnel, a CBP official confirmed to ABC News.

It’s the third time since December that agents have thwarted a suspected underground smuggling route in the area, according to Border Patrol.

Similar tunnels used for drug trafficking have recently been found across the southern U.S. border as part of regularly coordinating investigations with Mexican authorities.

But when you think you're the smartest guy in the world, you think you've got all of the answers. It's a very dangerous way of thinking.

tunnels from various Mexican cities to various cities in border states and even one that leads to a warehouse in San Diego.

That wall has been a joke from day one. I have been pointing out to pro-wall types about the tunnels and their answer is to flood the tunnels. When you point out the desert/no water to flood them situation, they tend to start mumbling and blathering and sputtering.

Trump's stupid wall is nonsense. It's a joke.
