A member of the Border Patrol's tunnel team patrols the Grand Tunnel, a 15-foot-high storm drain running under Grand Avenue in Nogales into Sonora, Mexico, in May . Last year between July and October alone, Border Patrol agents made 1,704 arrests in tunnels; they also picked up more than a ton of marijuana. Although the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection has begun filling them in, the Grand Tunnel, one of the largest on the border, must remain intact to allow water to gush north from Sonora during summer monsoons.
