SAN DIEGO (AP) — Authorities seized 12 tons of marijuana and arrested 22 people after discovering one of the longest cross-border tunnels between the U.S. and Mexico, officials said Thursday.

The passage connecting warehouses in San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, was about 2,400 feet long and 30 feet deep. It was lit, ventilated and equipped with a rail system — hallmarks of the most sophisticated tunnels found along the border.

Near-simultaneous police stings on Wednesday resulted in six arrests in San Diego and 16 in Mexico. Authorities recovered two tons of marijuana in the U.S. and 10 tons in Mexico.

Seems inefficient. Why can't they use the US Government system like the other criminals.

It's not surprising, considering how many tunnels they've discovered. United States needs to legalize some drugs to prevent so much murders and death.

Of course no one noticed this on the Mexican side? A warehouse that has truckload after truckload of dirt being removed yet no hole being dug. Instead of spending billions fighting the war on drugs, spend millions getting tips on where things like this are from such a corrupt nation?

So what else is new, Sarge? They are probably others just waiting to be discovered.

This is the perfect discussion to mention the movie 'Sicario.' If you do not see this movie, the terrorists and RallyPoint trolls win. If you live in our neck of the woods, you know why this is an open carry state.
