Otay Mesa, Calif. - Early yesterday morning, a crudely built cross-border tunnel was discovered by Border Patrol agents in Otay Mesa after surveillance cameras observed a large group of suspected illegal aliens attempting to enter the country.

At about 12:45 a.m., Border Patrol surveillance camera operators observed several individuals in Mexico running up to the primary border fence about one mile west of the Otay Mesa port of entry.
About 30 minutes later, the camera operators spotted two people north of the border fence, while a third person was following by crawling out of a hole in the ground. Agents responded and were able to apprehend one of the individuals, as the other two re-entered the hole and returned to Mexico. ..."

  1. I see the issue of illegal border crossing as a global concern. When you think about how borders are built to protect and offer individuals entrance into different domains, how then does this 'bordered' society effect people psychologically, phsically, and socially on a whole?
