Part 8/12:
The Architecture of Smuggling Tunnels: A Class of Its Own
These tunnels are feats of engineering—durable, ventilated, equipped with drainage and GPS systems. Evidence suggests that specialized personnel, sometimes university students or trained engineers, are hired to design and build these passageways. Their sophistication ensures minimal risk of collapse or detection, making them reliable conduits for repeated use.
On the American side, there is often collaboration or complicity among certain individuals and institutional networks that help fund and facilitate these operations. When authorities investigate one tunnel, they often uncover evidence pointing to a broader, interconnected infrastructure of illicit crossings.
