It would be nice to have full cooperation from the Mexican government, if they ca n’t completely fill the tunnels, then maybe they could adequately police them. – Ira Mehlman	Found on FOX News 7 years ago
It’s a really simple and obvious idea and I wish more people would do it: build more tunnels, tunnels are great. It’s just a hole in the ground, it’s not that hard. But if you have tunnels in cities you would massively alleviate congestion and you could have tunnels at all different levels; you could probably have 30 layers of tunnels and completely fix the congestion problem in high-density cities. So, I strongly recommend tunnels. – Mr Musk	Found on FOX News 7 years ago

I don't see how anyone could fail to be troubled and moved by the stockade, with its deadlines, escape tunnels and Providence Spring, that subtext of such clean, well-kept grounds is chaos and human limitation, and I can't walk across the stockade field without feeling challenged and defeated by its awful irony. Even the sky looks different from there. – Judson Mitcham	Found on CNN 8 years ago
They are used for terrorist attacks, but they are also used to smuggle arms and contraband, we have learned that these tunnels are being used well beyond Israel. Korea is another example -- tunnels have been found in North Korea. Here at home, more than 150 tunnels have been found since 2009. – Southern Israel	Found on CNN 8 years ago
