Tunnel smuggling 30 Tons of Marijuana Found

CNN.com had a news video of a tunnel that was 6 football fields long along with 30 tons of marijuana! This tunnel connected a warehouse in Tijuana to another warehouse in Otay Mesa, California. Officials say that this tunnel is less than a month old, and parts of the wall are still wet clay. This just proves that the myth about illegal immigration contributing to the drug cartel is false. It isn't the illegal immigrants that are smuggling the drugs- it's the smart drug cartels that build tunnels UNDER the border that are able to bring in about 30 large cars or 60 small cars worth of marijuana into this country! This just shows that with determination, anything can get over the border and whatever we won't really prevent anything from happening. The good thing for officials on the U.S. side is that we are getting better are catching these culprits considering that this tunnel was only a month old. Either we got really lucky or we are just getting better at catching these smugglers- I'll go with the second choice!
