Can we afford not to? Hmm Federal government spends some 40 billion a year on enforcement. Over 100k Americans died from overdose last year. At the very least I don’t think we can afford not to rethink our policy on drug enforcement.
Omg
Johnny Depp weekend supply gone
Now they need to find the other 99 tunnels….lol.
Millions upon millions of illegals pour across the borders unattended. Vote harvesting at it’s finest. Take the Democrats out in November!
Tunnel was not helping to aid the democratic party or the Biden crime family js
Wait this can’t be, I thought Donald’s wall was going to stop all the drugs….
I feel like the government should just legalize all these drugs. Tax all these cartels like double or triple the value. Have them pay all upfront then they can bring it across the border legally without question. The money that they collect can be towards free health care for Americans. But the caveat is they would have to drug test you to get free health care. That’s just my opinion.
Theres plenty more of those lol. Drug war cannot be won in this manner. Its a numbers game & the drug game brings in more $$$ than the police can throw @ it. The cartels know this.
Only way to win is to change the game & legalize. Similar to Portugal
Several countries have turned the war on drugs into a war on mental illness and cleaned up the streets but you will never see that here because there is too much money to be made by police departments and their unions.
1 tunnel, their are hundreds of tunnels. Drones deliver drugs. Air planes deliver drugs. Boats deliver drugs. Gutted cars & trucks deliver drugs. Shipping containers deliver drugs. Cartels have labs in America making drugs. It’s never going to end until people stop doing drugs. So its never going to end.
Stop it at the customer end.
Start booby trapping them so they blow up when smugglers are inside cheap and efficiant
Put apple tags in the kilos then bust all the dealers in the us put them in the tunnel then blow it up with them inside
Theyll never stop it. Look how many containers come through shipping. They havent got the finance…
😯😯😯
Ground penetrating radar or other detection devices can detect tunnels. Using a tunnel detection once a week in areas where tunnels are possible could be done for less than $1mil a year. Either a contractor or CBP could do the work! That is cheap for the protection it could give!
Build the wall, build the wall. Oh, wait.
the craftsmanship !
That’s too bad…
“are we ever going to stop it” actually no, as long as there is a black market for drugs then criminals will smuggle it in and reap the rewards in cash.
Are spoiled addict Americans ever gonna stop the damand? Whether a joint or a key, we are the main problem. Without a demand there wouldn’t be cartels lined up to supply. Look in the mirror and you will find the answer.
And they want more walls
There are tunnels like this all over the west coast. Slave traders used them and they’re used for the same today.
Drugs are probably just icing on the cake.
Where is the trumpas wall? Ignorant’s
I guess I’m gonna need to find a new job.
As long there are drugs, jobs will be secured. Sounds good though “drugs free.”
Crooked cops keep all the cash they found
One of many tunnels into the US. The “War on drugs” was already lost. As long as people demand drugs in the country, someone is always going to be there to supply it.
I don’t understand why the government doesn’t do regular ground prenatrating sweeps on a regular basis. Tunneling is not a new phenomenon
Remember Trump was too busy building his wall to be concerned about tunnels because in his mind tunnels aren’t real
The same agents and law enforcement are did drugs right after they finished there shift.
People in the United States live there drugs.
Supply and demand.
The American way.
What happen to capitalism and big business.
Oh that’s right white people are making billions of the trade.
The United States govt is involved in the drug trade for all you ignorant people who choose to be blind.
Building the wall and spending tax payer money is the stupid when they have tunnels
They don’t want to stop the drug trade.
Too much money to be made in the justice system arresting people and prosecuting them for small quantities.
If they really wanted to stop drugs they would’ve.
Hey you repubs should have put up a wall. Yea. That would have stopped him
trumps wall prevented them from crossing the border, so they had to dig tunnels😂
That’s funny, they had tunnels way before Trump, 🤡.
It’s sad seeing ordinary ppl trying drugs cos whatever they are going through is too much. They need that push that heroin, meth or cocaine gives them to be the best weirdo addict they can be. Completely sarcastic btw.
Understandably, he couldn’t admit that, “No, we’ll never be able to stop this.”😏
We need more wall to stop this….
Lol, why even bring up the amount they found. Just a couple of pallets of drugs out of a whole warehouse.
Joe Bidens open borders bull crap needs to stop !!!!
That wall did nothing and still it’s not a. Issue.
Has anyone found out when the Boring company is delivering our tunnel digging machine? These tunnels look unsafe for the drug smugglers, we should make sure they are safe while moving their merchandise.
Looks like the cartel got rid of a worn out tunnel
Free them guys
Maybe we should have taken the billions wasted on a worthless wall and gave it to DEA, FBI, HLS …ect
Stop using drugs
War on drugs fails again !
I really feel like mexico doesn’t do anything to stop cartels because they are making so much money from it
WOW…… so they didn’t go over the fence ??? HHHHMMMMM……. how bout that.
🤣 talking about Aztec heritage there … they BUILD! Just going to have to get craftier then them. Manpower being thrown at it is not always the go to.
Lol it’s not up to you too stop it. If there is a massive demand for it, it will still get through.
That’s a nice wall you have there, it’d be a shame if someone were to tunnel under it….
If people didnt use/want these nasty drugs there would be no business for the drug lords…
Probably built by Cia
What!! You mean that Wall the republicans want to spend all this money on won’t keep the gophers out. HaHa 😂
If you have no costumers nothing happens how about start bringing some baby formula than sale fast to
This is dipped than spear you be surprised the type of good old people that are involved in this is just drama this is being happening for ever and nothing is going to change because they don’t want to
You can’t stop it because there’s too many corrupt officials in the border towns and state governments benefiting on the US side. But nobody talks about that.
Too much money it will America is an addictive country everybody is on something whether is legal or illegal just a fact
As long as they’re is demand there will be demand.
But the Wall is supposed to stop the flow of drugs!!!!!! Sarcasm here!
😳HOLY SH*T‼️ That’s a fk ton of drugs & a lot of tunnel‼️ Although we will never be able to stop it completely we still have to do our best‼️ Little by little I suppose. ✌💜💫🙏🌚🧹
I’d guess the planners didn’t think about under the wall? Essentially, a rabid crazed gopher could tunnel under to bite US citizens. Finding out people have had tunnels b4 and about anywhere, how did that thought not occur to the orange wall builder. Another clunker from Tr*mpers. I live in Texas, the amount of immigrants is currently high…doesn’t the Statue of Liberty welcome the disenfranchised, the poor, the hungry? Maybe the land we murdered Native Americans on…let the Tribes decide who’s in and who’s not? The original owners heritage still exists. We’ve ruined in 300 years the past thousands of years of property ownership. So yeah…we only assume what our role should be. Let the original owners take pressure off of self interested current elected office holders. Then maybe, we can call it even and equal based on the ability to get along and respect original owners, immigrants,, and each other?
So much for a 5 billion dollar wall…lololol
Wait…. I thought the wall was supposed to fix this???
….and to carry money and people and guns etc, you name it trough the tunnels .
SUPPLY AND DEMAND, MY QUESTION IS WHY ARE AMERICANS SO MUCH INTO DRUG USE? I MEAN I WAS BORN IN COLOMBIA AND ONCE IN MY LIFE I TRY A MARIJUANA TEA IN EUROPE. OUR BRAINS ALREADY DO PRODUCE SOME OF THESE CHEMICALS NATURALLY. WE SHOULD TEACH PEOPLE TO LOVE AND RESPECT OUR NATURAL STATES.
I hate to watch Bad news🇲🇽 I still don’t know who’s winning the War On Drugs???? Anybody
Biden America.
All the under ground should be filled with cement
Bee, so they tunneled right under that wall, huh, who would have guessed
Baruch hashem!
what a joke. they don’t want to stop it. You could never have tunnels like this in China, Thailand, or Singapore. The penalty is death.
Title 42 is ending Sunday so all the immigrants will just be able to cross OUR border with no problem. They aren’t being tested for Covid or diseases. They come with no money or place to stay. We already have a food shortage and no water… Biden is setting America up for CHAOS..
Scrape it for resins
Glad they didn’t indicate what the street value was
You’ve watched a few too many episodes of WEEDS ?
As long as there is a demand for any product, someone will find a way to supply it. End of.
Beautiful
Democrat buffet
Why we don’t build a wall in the border, that will fix the problem…
Hey dumb dumb (aka) trump dummy if your watching 🤣
Its not Mexico’s fault the US gov has everybody messed up so they turn to drugs. Thanks a lot Bidden
Legalize the and then take that money and put it into rehab services. Problem solved.. Drug crime gone..
No need for tunnels now, biden opened the border.
The border walls were built tall enough but not deep enough 😂🤣
This is crazy that this is still happening in our country
It’s an industrial complex now. Drugs employ persons on both sides of the law
Looks like a whole lot of lunatic leftist Democrats are going to be twitching around trying to kick in San Diego.
Russo and Elvis are rich….washed Michael FRANCESE and Frank Costello….Getty oil….tax waiver status using Johnson and NIXON…JFK coupe…..stolen MARCOs gold bars shipment u.s.custims to 1001 Bel aire rd.la and used a DEA badge…..and faked burial to evade appearing for court…..Lana Turner aka Jean Peters Cheryl crane aka Priscilla PRESLEYS…Memphis Mafia….stolen mayflower truck #22…damaged Paramount Gates…..same exact truck in Elvis movie…I signed for the bol…….Elvis Grace Kelly fired Johnson’s SS guard revolver inside JFK Limo gun box..pass access door……..federal witness…coupe.
So, your answer is a No.
Build that wall!!! build that wall!!! Build that wall!!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣
We are agents!! We don’t need no stinking badges!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The only way to stop the drugs coming into the country is to either through decriminalization or stop the demand for them by the consumer…The “War on Drugs” is a scam that enriches scum like politicians and the private prison industry and enables totalitarian rule through the justice system. Have we not learned anything from “Iran-Contra”????
Right under the wall eh?
Your a bunch of fools you can NEVER stop drugs as long as they are prohibited . Only a clean and safe supply would bring down numbers .
While they found this tunnel another tunnel is been under construction.
you’re not going to do s*** you’ve never done s*** you’re never going to stop drugs
Why dig a tunnel. The borders wide open
foff. CIA moving this stuff like no others
Free da homies 😪
Free da homies
those guys look like crooks themselves
Prohibition doesn’t work. It will NEVER stop.
Complete waste of time so long as the demand is there. Stop the demand, and you stop the drug trade.
