Okay, has everyone heard about this Minute Man project that some gun-toting yahoos out west are doing. "Protecting" our border with Mexico by using force and carrying around semi-automatic weapons? These "new heroes" of the U.S. dropped the ball on this one though...A huge tunnel was discovered on the 25th of this month and is used by drug running gangs. The U.S. border patrol found the tunnel and told the Mexican government about it and they found where the tunnel came up on their side (It went from Tijuana all the way to Otay [a town near San Diego!]) It is about 85 feet under ground and runs close to 2400 feet (or over half a mile, it depends on who you talk to.) Our government says it is 2400 feet, the Mexican government says its close to a half a mile. This isn't just some dirt tunnel that guys crawl around on their hands and knees, there is lighting, ventilation, and to top it off, there were still drugs in the tunnel! The government nabbed over two tons of Mary Jane (Thats a lot of hooch!)
How do you miss something like this? How do you miss random guys walking into a shed with digging tools and disappearing for hours on end and then coming back up with wheelbarrels full of dirt?
The main point is, it was not the gun crazy minute men who found this, it was both our and mexican government agents. The guys being paid our tax dollars are doing their jobs, and the crazy members of the NRA who are trying to scare Mexican refugees into staying in their country did not. The government needs to step in and put a stop to these guys.
