As the U.S. beefs up security at the border, Mexican cartels are finding new and creative ways to smuggle drugs into the country. A sophisticated tunnel was revealed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Wednesday.



It runs three-fourths of a mile and is the longest tunnel ever to be discovered by U.S. officials. It started in Mexico and ran under part of the newly fortified border into the U.S. Deputy Chief Aaron Heitke said smugglers move everything through the tunnels.

"It's going to be people, it's going to be narcotics, the potential for weapons and ammunition," he said.

Ten miles away is another key smuggling route for Mexican drug cartels. Bordering Tijuana, San Ysidro, California, is the busiest port of entry in North America. Sources told CBS News sometimes cartels use spotters to keep track of how the drugs are flowing from Mexico into the U.S.
