According to CBS News, in the last 29 years, border patrol agents have discovered at least 230 tunnels under the border between Mexico and the United States, ending up in either Arizona or California.

Kevin Hecht, the deputy patrol agent in charge in Nogales, told CBS News while he was in a storm drain, “This is already in place built by the cities to drain water. What they’re building is tapping into this and they’re building an illicit tunnel.” CBS News reported, “Earlier this month, the Mexican federal police discovered a tunnel that accessed a sewer system that flows into the United States and just last month Border Patrol sealed an unfinished tunnel that crossed into Arizona.”
