Border patrol agents in Texas have reportedly discovered a 60-foot tunnel being built near the Rio Grande River leading toward Mexico.

Authorities found the tunnel, which was still under construction, in Hidalgo, Texas, a local CNN affiliate reported Friday.
=========================================
Build all the walls you want & they can still tunnel under them. Where there's a will there's a way. This is why walls are a simplistic solution that just does not work.

On a related news note, which I did not see discussed here:

It seems the largest mass border breach in AZ history recently occurred by digging multiple tunnels under an existing section of border wall - 376 individuals made it through to the U.S. side.

TUCSON — The largest single group of migrant families and minors ever recorded in the Yuma area tunneled underneath a border fence and voluntarily turned themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents, according to Customs and Border Protection officials in Arizona.

A group of 376 migrants, composed almost overwhelmingly of Guatemalan families and children seeking asylum, breached the U.S.-Mexico border just before noon Monday, approximately 4½ miles east of the San Luis commercial port of entry.

Give Trump long enough and he'll have the US replacing its laser guided bombs and missiles with trebuchets.

The Great Wall of China didn't keep the Mongols out & a wall 100 feet high will not stop Latinos from getting across the border.

No, but it's a fine tourist attraction. LOL

To clarify, those are just the 376 that decided to turn themselves in. How many used the tunnel before them... ?

Unfortunately, the article I cited is mum on the issue.
