Abstract
Drugs are everywhere in America and other Countries, drugs are constantly being imported and exported to America, from America, and back and forth between countries like Mexico, Columbia, and many more.

This tunnel was also said to be the 13th sophisticated secret passage found along California’s border with Mexico since
