Elaborate cross border tunnel discovered in San Diego

I’m posting this story quickly now just to save it for my San Diego collection.  Recently we reported that Somali “community” leaders in that city have been charged with suspected terrorism activity.  So, if tons of marijuana is being moved under the border from Mexico to California in ventilated tunnels—how about illegal aliens as well!

From CBS News last week:

U.S. and Mexican authorities combined to seize nearly 30 tons of marijuana at the California border, uncovering an elaborate 600-yard underground tunnel connecting warehouses on either side of the border, officials said Wednesday.

They also found the opening to the tunnel, which ran the length of six football fields under the border and ended at a warehouse in Mexico, Morton said. The tunnel had lighting, ventilation and a rail system to send loads of illegal drugs into California.

Approximately 4 additional tons of pot were found in the warehouse on the Mexican side of the border.

Officials have found 125 underground tunnels along the border built by Mexican drug cartels to elude detection since the early 1990s, ICE officials said. Of those, 75 have been found in the past four years. Many were discovered before they were completed. The majority were found along the California and Arizona borders with Mexico.
