HIDALGO, RGV – Border Patrol’s Marine division has found another tunnel built to go under the Border Wall, this time in Hidalgo, Texas.
The tunnel, measuring 60 feet in length, had been dug on the embankment of the Rio Grande close to a border wall constructed ten years ago.
Had it not been discovered it would have gone under the Border Wall on land owned by Texas Fish & Wildlife, just 2,000 feet downriver from Hidalgo Water Improvement District No. 3’s pump station.
State lawmakers visiting the Rio Grande Valley might have had a chance to see the tunnel last Friday but Border Patrol advised them not to complete a planned visit to the water district due to the presence of drug cartel members on the other side of the Rio Grande brandishing rifles and dressed in camouflage.
The tunnel is set to be blown up with dynamite within the next week or two.
Asked if he was impressed by the ingenuity of the tunnel diggers, Hidalgo County Water Improvement District No. 3 general manager Othal Brand, Jr., said: “I am astounded. That is some impressive work, it is not easy work building a tunnel like that.”
“The cliff they dug through is a soft sand. The diggers push a piece of pipe into the earth and as they do they remove the sand. As they do that they keep pushing the pipe in. Once they get far enough in they erect these 4x4s and plywood on each side and the top.”
Asked where the tunnel would have led to, Brand said: “It was going under the Border Wall. On the other side of the entrance to our premises is a small shopping mall and to the left of that is a sports rental place. It was going straight to the sports rental business. Our suspicion is they were going to come up in one of these rental units and store their stuff there and just pick it up when they want. They were deep enough to go under that wall without any problem.”
Brand said he was called by Border Patrol to see if his men could collapse the tunnel but Brand said an explosion company was needed. Such a company, from Bandera, Texas, is coming down soon.
“My men climbed down and looked at it. It needs dynamite to blow it. I would like to praise the Marine division of Border Patrol. Boots on the ground would not have seen it. Helicopters would not have found it. Drones, sensors, would never have found it. You could only see it from the river. They looked at the cliff and found it. It was all covered up with bamboo and brush. It looked kind of dry, which alerted them to it.”
