This is a pretty cool slideshow of some of the discovered underground tunnels from Mexico to San Diego for drug transport. Read the captions on these to see the lengths that the cartels will go to get drugs into the U.S. Fascinating! http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com...sd-san-diego-border-tunnels-photogallery.html
There's decent schools down there and the STEM pay isn't that great. They routinely hire Chemists, Civil and Naval Engineers to design these things and narco-subs. Anyone want to start a high payload drone business that caters to Latin America ? http://content.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,2061931_2260133,00.html
I just think it's hilarious that the tijuana border patrol puts every car and truck through a microscope to find even the smallest of drug crimes, like busting someone with a bowl and a small bag of weed in their car. Meanwhile, the cartels are literally moving several tons of drugs every day through underground tunnels without anyone knowing shit.
I always tell my buddies that the wall isn't racist because it's to keep Mexicans out, it's racist because they assume Mexicans aren't going to be smart enough to figure a way around it.
Probably the wall could be better for building tunnels cheaper. See-through walls should be better than solid walls! 1. The tunnels now can be starting near the high wall, hence tunnels can be now shorter and quicker to build. 2. The tunnels were built previously by paying to workers. Now tunnels can be built by volunteers. When tunnels are built without having to pay labour costs. It's not only a big saving, but also unlimited number of tunnels can be built, all within a short time, also simultaneously! Much much harder now to detect/stop hidden activities, due to possibly so many tunnels being planned concurrently!

(7) Soldiers prepare to enter a tunnel during a presentation to the media in Tijuana, on November 16, 2011. Police discovered a "major cross-border drug tunnel" running to California from Mexico, and seized 14 tons of marijuana, authorities said. The tunnel linked warehouses in an industrial park south of San Diego and the Mexican border city of Tijuana.

(7) Although the existing U.S.-Mexico border fence has served to slow down the flow of drugs, criminals and illegal immigrants into the U.S., it is far from stopping it. The above photographs help us see that the existing border fence is inadequate to stop the illegal immigration and drug-human trafficking across our southern border. In order to achieve the kind of security all Americans citizens deserve, the existing fence must be replaced by either a taller, more secure double-fence with an high speed road in-between or an unscalable high wall with a high-speed road on the U.S. side. In addition, counter measures must be constructed below ground to counter-act any and all tunneling under the fence or wall.
All I know is that I wouldn't want to be the first police officer in the line to go down one of those tunnels for the first time.
