Federal authorities have found the largest drug tunnel crossing the US-Mexico border. It's more than 1200 yards long, "made of concrete, the passageway had lighting, electricity, ventilation and a pump to remove water, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
It had 2 tons of marijuana so it's assumed to have been made by a drug cartel. "More than 20 cross-border tunnels have been uncovered in California and Arizona since 9/11, she added." They attribute the increase in tunnels to tighter border security since 9/11.
