Since 1990...American customs officials have uncovered 159 narco tunnels...often neatly and elaborately burrowed underground...from Mexico into the USA.
Large tunnels can cost up to $1 million...take 9 months to construct...and rely on solid engineering.
In the past 4 years...narcos have stepped-up building their tunnels...by 80%.
Now...instead of arresting common workers...the Americans would like to capture some of the ingenious engineers who design the tunnels.
If you've ever wondered about the narcotunels...this report is for you.
