240-yard-long tunnel discovered 55 feet under the U.S.-Mexico border

From CNN

Federal drug agents discovered a 240-yard-long tunnel underneath the U.S.-Mexico border, and they suspect it was used to smuggle drugs into Arizona for sale in the United States, officials said Thursday.

The “sophisticated drug smuggling tunnel,” which runs 55 feet below ground, begins in an ice plant in San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mexico, and ends inside a one-story, nondescript building in San Luis, Arizona, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

    Could it be that when the illegal immigrants get caught they then get put away in the private prisons that need illegal immigrants caught… to keep it open!
