60-foot tunnel found in Texas running under where border wall would go

HIDALGO, TX (KRGV/CNN) – Border Patrol agents discovered a 60-foot-long tunnel still in progress this week at the U.S.-Mexico border in South Texas.

It’s located in Hidalgo, along roughly the same stretch of the border that President Donald Trump personally visited earlier in January.

It would run under where Trump has proposed a wall go.

Border Patrol contacted Othal Brand, the president of the Hidalgo County Water Improvement District 3, for help. The tunnel is located about 1,500 feet downriver from his pump station, on U.S. Fish and Wildlife property.

Those Border Agents were doing what Border Agents would have to do with or without a wall. Just show the wall will only cost more money than it's worth.
