Southern California Authorities Discover Drug Tunnel Between U.S. and Mexico
No one noticed trucks full of dirt leaving. Yet no construction site🤔
Last fight

So a BIG F***KIN WALL doesn’t work? Can we make it taller?
The wall did exactly what it was intended to do… it allowed certain people to make donations in return for lucrative contracts.
How much $$$ in cash
What the heck ? We have been told it’s only good hard working people looking for better life taking advantage of our open border . How can I trust Pelosi and AOC now ..
Users should also be punished with lifetime in prison. They are accomplice of the death and chaos in latin america at the hands of the cartel by funding their activities.
Good thing there is a wall there to stop them
LOL, the old guy is like “I had nooo idea, nada, nothing, zip” sure man.
The competence of the dispensaries 😁🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
It’s supply and demand
its$250 a nite in jail think about that
@Vez Hunter that’s only if you get caught they have thousands of those tunnels there’s no way we’re ever going to run out of dope
wE nEED A bIGGER WALL
Smugglers are like roaches…bringing in dis-ease…. to our society. The devil’s work.
That’s exactly what happened when the Europeans came.
Roaches go where the trash is at
Devils are snorting it all up 😆
@Albert Riojas and the rats are smuggling it 🤣😭
Hmm..guess the billions spent on a wall that anyone can climb was all for nothing
45 said “The Wall” would stop all of this.
No wonder drugs are on every corner of my city 🙄
There are thousands of tunnels. We’ve known that for decades. This is all theatrics for midterms
Bravo!
build underground wall to stop this activities
Drug Lords: “Darn, tunnel #743 is down. Oh well.”
😂😂😂😂🏆
America does things backwards. 😂.
You could capture every smuggler in the world, and it would solve nothing. If people would stop buying drugs, smugglers would stop smuggling. Don’t go after the dealers, go after the users.
If being under the influence, and possessions equaled a minimum10 years in a labor camp. You’d see a lot less drugs.
Labor camps solve any addiction, or criminal problems. Work these addicts from dawn till dusk, with hard labor.
I see said the blind man with his eyes closed for 12 years. LMAO
Lol I always say “I see, said the blind man, to the deaf dog”
Let’s keep it REAL. They didn’t discover anything, someone snitched, & once they find out, their complete families will disappear…
And your probably part of it .
@Let’s Turn It To The Good Part . I’m only part of the Defense… “Your Honor, for the Defense….Santiago Murillo.”
@Santiago Murillo You know who you really work for .
Congratulations drugs, for winning the war on drugs.
THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR DECADES
NOTHING NEW
THEY’LL BACKFILL IT WITH CONCRETE THEN EVENTUALLY FIND ANOTHER THEN RINSE AND REPEAT
Mmh don’t the USGS have tech that can detect these tunnels?
Wow they got 6 people, so impressive. NOT
Ha ha … so much for a wall! I’m reading a Don Winslow book that discusses a tunnel from Mex to US.
Papi ain’t no snitch 🤣🤣🤣👌🏽. I don’t know how it got in my house
Build that wall!! Lol
Is anyone surprised. Whats new? same ole BS.
The U.S needs an underground wall…go Trump 2024
LEGALIZE DRUGS!!! PUT THESE GUYS OUT OF BUSINESS. YA DID IT WITH ALCOHOL
Legalize fentanyl??
@PM2022🤬 um yes. Control it! Like alcohol
Charge that old lying mf!
So how useful to build a wall, Republican?
Lucrative business
Wake up America ——- the US government – DEEP STATE – is involved and n this !!!! MAYORKAS – YOU ARE. OT DOING YOUR JOB !!!!!!
What a shock with such a joke of an administration with lack of border security an lawlessness
So much for the wall
Tunnels were leading to drug addict Don and Eric Trump.
CRAZY. China’s opium war to destabilize the USA and Canada 💊
Work of good old-fashioned investigations. lmao
Dang, this is why we need to build a wall.’
If only the orange Mussolini had completed his wall. 🤣🤣🤣😵💫
Build the wall will not prevent any crime 😂🤣😂😂🤣😭😭 have more intelligence agencies.
This is allowed by both governments.
Ohhh crap… Another thing for orange nr.45 to run on… ‘We need a wall, underground’…
Build that wall.LOL
The trump wall could have prevented this because it was going to go down to china
Only 6 people in jail.
This explains why we have more hard drugs than baby formulas.
How about the WALL???? lol hehehehehehe
These guys suited up with the rifles looked like they were picked from Central Casting to play the role of mercenaries.
AnoTher OTay Mesa tunneL. Is this even?news.
Yeah, that wall would’ve really fix this problem
WoW! That’s crazy! That tunnel had to be their for years to be equipped with ventilation like that. Dang! I bet theirs another tunnel somewhere else we don’t know, because if there one, trust that there another backup tunnel. Our boarders should been more secured then what it is. Evil all around us. Pray🙏🏽
They forgot to mention about people crossing the border trough the tunnels. 🙁
Just 1 tunnel. DUH
A drop in the bucket.
None of this makes a difference till you can convince 20% of the american population to stop consuming illegal drugs.
Imagine How many are in operation right now
Or under construction
They just make another one
So much for MEGA DONUT KING ‘S F*****G WALL
MEGA’S DRUGS
Nada,Nada,Nada this guy should take Psaki’s job the Jobama administration is spreading drug mules all over America.Good luck in putting the cat back in the bag.The Mexican gov. is working with American Border agents to stop this drug problem.And Kamala and I can visit the moon every night without a space ship.America U are being played.U better PRAY !
See how well the fence works??
Amazing that this tunnel has not been detected for at least 30 or 40 years. TRUMPS efforts were just for show. These drugs and people were still crossing over. Trump did zero to reduce immigration. These drugs and people crossed over during many administrations, including Trumps.
I saw thse tunnels years ago when it was reported and shown on the Lou Dobbs show. The way they would enter the USA is through a sewer street manhole lid. Since then more sophisticated tunnels were made leading into warehouses, businesses and homes.
Nothing new. I watched coverage of this stuff in the late 80’s early 90’s where they showed 1 tunnel that broke off into several others where most went to small houses and some came out in bushes in a field, they explained how they busted the people running the tunnels for money.
Ambitious operation. Scientific thinker. With lots of experience exerting it’s dominance.
That Old. Man knew.what was going on
exactly
Of course, all mexicans know what’s going on
Not just drugs but see trafficking I bet
Quote from Gomer Pyle…” Surprise, Surprise, Surprise !! LOL..what a no brainer..😂
Thats actually Biden’s tunnel being used to smuggle baby formula out of the hands of American mothers into the hands of the new voter base he is trying to create.
BLOW UP THE TUNNEL! It’s not that hard
Dam someone needs to explain this to the cartel boss
So this is how that invasion of illegals have been getting drugs across the border just like Trump and Fox have been telling us not like it’s the cartels.
Gonzalo you there? 🤣
The only reason the U.S. Gov. got involved is because it was not a U.S. sanctioned drug operation. The U.S. Gov wants a piece of every pie.
Build the wall…?!?
That old man is smart.. he wants to die of natural causes. ..😂!
…and it’s news ?? a seismic surveying exercise along the border would have uncovered all of these in one pass, instead of one by one !!!
Of the more reason why the USA Mexico border needs to be closed and carefully watched.
They let you “find” this tunnel
The DEA is so useless….
Pablo Escobar has been very busy
Well, what have the biden’s WH has to say about this sophisticated tunnel? Would
they blame this on Putin’s clever ideas? Let’s send the madam veep to.tge root cause of this ‘origin’ of building this
elaborate tunnel??
How long do you think we (U.S.) have actually known about this tunnel 🤔⁉️ Somebody missed a payment to look the other way!!!
Build that wall right now gotdammit 😆😆😆😅
The T.J. police knew that house on the other side was a drop off house and the people know too…..
On notice.
Fill it with poisonous gas.
But let’s build a wall, lol
Keep them tunnels and borders open Joe biden 👏 🙌
Quick build a multi million dollar wall!!
How’s that wall working out?
Wow, what a surprise lol!
Just imagine that wall getting completely done 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and look at what they do under 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔wow
CB says this has been going on for years. You all should know the scoop every day .
Grandpa stop the cap
