U.S. Border Patrol agents and Homeland Security Investigations uncovered a man-made tunnel entering the U.S. from Mexico on Thursday. Agents discovered it in El Paso, Texas, near a storm drain system by the border wall during a security sweep of the area.

It is suspected that the “sophisticated cross-border tunnel” was used for human trafficking and drug smuggling in and out of the United States. The tunnel’s dimensions were six feet tall and four feet wide. It had a lighting and ventilation system and was supported with wooden beam braces, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

There are many tunnels and they are getting more comfortable with how to construct them . Remember the first tunnels, years ago they were just crawl holes, now look at them they are very well built for long use .

Irony: tunnel's construction paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
