Smugglers of Drugs Burrow on Border

Nogales , Ariz. – Border Patrol agents utilized many different techniques and ways to stop illegal immigrants or drug smugglers into the U.S. Some ways that Border Patrol agents prevent these illegal acts, are through drone aircraft patrol, fast boats, trucks, horses, all-terrain vehicles, and bicycles. Unfortunately, smugglers have found other ways to smuggle human or drugs into the U.S. by using tunnels. Tunneling has gained popularity in many areas, Nogales leading in cases. These tunnels are mainly used to smuggle in drugs, such as marijuana. Agents have discovered many tunnels due to the geography of the region where higher elevation and water flow through generations of old underground channels. Tunnels are discovered in many ways, such as sinking pavement, manholes popping up with furtive eyes peering out, and also discovered in border-front property.
