Illegal Aliens Use Drains To Sneak Into Texas

There is a gap to plug at the southern border, and it's not in the wall. Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas is combatting illegal crossings underground through the city's extensive storm drain system.

El Paso has over 100 access points to its storm drain system, according to interim Border Patrol Chief for the El Paso Sector Walter Slosar.

“We defend those accesses hard,” Slosar tells The Daily Signal.

El Paso is a desert and thunderstorms during the summer monsoon season can quickly lead to flash floods. The drains are large to handle the monsoons, some are even tall enough to stand in. Criminal organization take advantage of the drain system to cross the border illegally form Mexico and then exit through manhole covers in the streets.

“We're going to deny access: subterranean, on the ground, and in the air,” Slosar pledged. “That's where we're moving. That's the evolution of technology.”
