"Another narco-tunnel was discovered in Tijuana, that crossed into the United States but did not have an exit built yet, which spanned 370 meters in length. The tunnel was discovered Monday evening, February 4th. The tunnel was found after an Army operation detained suspects outside of a property, eventually leading to the discovery of the passage way. A total of 17 suspects were detained. Most of those arrested were working on constructing the tunnel.

Lighting, ventilation, and a hydraulic system were already in place for the tunnel, according to the attorney general’s office. 15 kilos of marijuana was also discovered on the property.

The tunnel was discovered in the Otay area, a popular zone for such passages to be built underneath the warehouse districts."

I think the new trend is for Amnesty tunnels. There will be so many coming over to be legalized, they won't be able to count them before the US has to declare bankruptcy.

Hydraulic System?

I think that is a hydraulic lift, where the top is the concrete seal and the space below is for lowering the drugs down to the tunnel, similar to this one:
