Senator Dianne Feinstein is going to introduce a bill today that would make tunneling under the US border a federal offense. It's a shame that this legislation even needs to be introduced.

Laws exist to prosecute people for illegally entering this country, as well as for smuggling drugs, people, weapons or other contraband.
But Feinstein wants to add specific anti-tunneling legislation.
