Smugglers of Drugs Burrow on Border

It is well known the problem that the United States has with the smuggling of drugs and illegal immigrants from Mexico. This problem is especially big in Arizona where they have found that new trend to smuggling in drugs is through man made tunnels. Immigration officials and Border Patrol have to continue to hunt for these man made tunnels and destroy them by filling them with concrete. But as soon as they fill one, the Border Patrol will find another one, about one a month. This is a huge problem for America as more and more drugs and being pushed and it also gives another passage way for illegal immigrants enter through.
The Border Patrol will have to continue to make new polices and also work even more with the Mexican government to get this under control. The new digging of tunnels also is weakening roadways that connect the two countries which will take tax money to fix.
