30 tons of weed was found in a warehouse in San Diego. This smuggling operation brought this weed in from Cal./Mex. border through a 600 yard tunnel with lighting and ventalation and also with a railing system. From this bust it lead back to Tijuane Mex. Although 30 tons seems like a lot, they said that 105 tons was busted within the last month. They also said that in the past four years 75 tunnels were discovered along the border of cal. and Arizona. There have been 125 tunnels found on these same borders since 1990 and only one tunnel found on the Canadian/U.S. border. The U.S. created a task force called the U.S. Border Task Force. This task force uses robots to find the newly dug tunnels. This task force was created in 2006 because of this problem.
As you can see that most of the problems are found in Mexico this is why we need to pass more laws. I think that the gov. should put more money into the task force. We should work with the mexican police more so they can tell us info and we can tell them. I think that we could control this very well.
