Quote:Here you go with the sky being blue again.


Yes, cartels use drug mules regularly. They body carry through the ports of entry. They hide drugs in hidden compartments of vehicles going through the ports of entry. They get poor people who can't afford the cost to cross to backpack drugs across in the deserts. However, they don't and have no need to use drug mules in narco tunnels. The cartel does it themselves.


As far as your tldr 31 slide powerpoint article you posted, give me the cliff notes. I'm not clicking through 31 pages of facebook clickbait.


I guess there is no arguing with you if you believe these tunnels are quick, easy, and cheap to make. Successful tunnels are the cartel's highest dollar assets. They involve bringing on architects and engineers. They involve buying a building in Mexico. They involve buying a building in the United States. They sometimes involve buying a puppet business to mask the trafficking on both sides of the border. They involve the materials for exhaust, lighting, tracks, support struts, concrete, etc. They involve the labor they pay. Digging 20-50 feet deep in sand and extending it under two cities worth of infrastructure like water, sewage, electrical, etc and extending it 100-500 feet into the United States undetected isn't easy. They spend millions on these things with the expectation that they will recoup the money on the 1st or 2nd load that gets away. They give 0 4-letter words about getting an illegal alien across. Bringing illegals across is living wage money for the grunts of the organization. It's an aside.

Guess they have to make that "view on one page" button in 72 point font for you. It does mention chasing every potential tunnel is too expensive and that the makeup of the soil near the border is perfect for making tunnels. Nice to know you can continue your argument without reading the evidence which points out a wall is moronic. You don't want to even consider evidence which may make your argument invalid. You just want to stay on your same trajectory. That's cognitive dissonance. A wall that can be foiled by a tunnel is ineffective. That's common sense which is lost on you. Cartels control what comes across that border today. Drugs or people. Tunnel or not.
