The number of tunnels seem excessive, I don't know the drug numbers but let's use people.
A tunnel large enough to walk though could send 10 people a minute without problem. While 24/7 would be near impossible to achieve, it’s 600 people an hour, 14,400 people a day, and up to 5,256,000 people per year.
You need to build tunnels at least at the rate that they get discovered. Also if there's excessive traffic at one tunnel, it's more likely that it'll get found. A distributed network of tunnels is much better for business.
Sure, I am probably also underestimating how many drugs get sent past the border. But, the point still stands you can send a lot of stuff down a tunnel where loading and unloading quickly become the largest issue.
