Why Is LA's District Attorney Helping Mexican Drug Cartels?

[SeniorBuzz]

Lets not forget the tortillas that law enforcement always seem to find at every large gorilla grow in norcal. Its a drug war .. dont forget!! Where do you think the mexican mafia is selling the 100,000 plant plantations that law enforcement says they are only busting a small percentage of ?

Thats what I read too; their food fare is always authentic Mexican, right down to the labels in Spanish. With the amount of stuff they pack in to set up. let alone the volume they pack out, one would think they would attract attention, but they seldom do. Kind of wondering why the feds don't sit through the harvest, tracking everything coming out, through the distribution network, seems to me they could put a serious dent in the Cartels operation.

Dispensaries/collectives, the legit ones, need to put together a firm set of rules for all to adhere to, and leave the illegitimate ones to fend for themselves.

L.A. has been out of control for a long time, especially with the enormous influx of illegals, and the gangs. I certainly wouldn't accept that what goes on in L.A. is symbolic of the rest of the state. Probably better off to not worry about what happens in L.A/Fresno/Bakersfield., and just focus on cleaning up our end of it, wherever we might be.

But if dispensaries/collectives can't find some fixed parameters to live within, it will prevent the entire process from moving forward, and we can bet that the state will eventually clamp down, and set rules that are almost impossible to live within.

Really?
I am from the bay area.
I have been to plenty of clubs in the city.
Would you care to explain how SF is so different?
I certainly haven't seen it in my experience(which I bet is much more than you have had in this neck of the woods).
BTW what is your personal political/economic philosophy Blue Dot? You denigrate capitalism in your sig. which may explain your opinions on some of these matters. Are you a socialist?

when someone says these dispensaries/collectives are all about the money, is this because of how much they charge? if they are hiding income, as did occur with the clubs the feds busted in the city, that is all about the money

I did that so that you would respond directly to that but you still went back to my immigration debate which IMO is a valid debate but just part of the larger picture going on here.

So please, if you think I missed the point to the article then explain to me why my quote doesn't explain away your misconception?

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that is more against illegal immigration than me. That being said, however, once again you are full of shit.

See if you wrap your tiny brain around this. When the legal market is constricted, the black market will expand. That's a simple fact, well proven by history. Mexican cartels control a large part of the black market, so their business will expand also.

If anyone is interested in the SW border stats, on apprehensions, totals on drug intercepts, fencing, etc. let me know; I do numbers.


In the last 22 years, since the 1986, Reagan, one-time amnesty, to a thought to be 1.3 million illegals, that turned out to be 3.5 million (and still counting) over 27 million illegals have been apprehended, as they crossed the border into our United States.

UNITED STATES BORDER APPREHENSIONS (Source DHS/CBP)
1987--1,190,488------1995--1,394,554------2003----931,557
1988--1,008,145------1996--1,649,986------2004--1,160,395
1989----954,243------1997--1,412,953------2005--1,189,075
1990--1,169,939------1998--1,555,776------2006--1,089,902
1991--1,197,875------1999--1,579,010------2007----876,704
1992--1,258,482------2000--1,676,438------2008----723,825
1993--1,327,259------2001--1,266,213------2009----550,000est.
1994--1,094,717------2002----955,310

UNFORTUNATELY, less than half of illegals are apprehended at the border. Before the recent addition (over the last two years) of 10,000 Border Patrol agents, and 322 miles of fence, and 304 miles of vehicle barriers, only 32 miles double-layered, it was estimated, by the border patrol agents, that less than 1, out of 7, illegals, were apprehended at the border. Some border patrol agents said less than 1, out of 10.

Now, border patrol agents, collectively, could approximate what percentage of illegals they catch. They said they catch more than half of the ones they know about. How many don't they know about.

According to the U.S. Immigration Service another 6 million illegals in our country are visa overstays.

Anchor babies are now being born at a rate of 400,000 per year

Ya know, if more people would put BD on ignore like I do, these threads would be a lot more fun.

Might as well change the thread title to "Troll Bait" now. (Great article btw. )

Why not say screw all the FOB's (Fresh Off Boat asian illegal aliens) coming over that are taking over our college system, because they work 2x harder at their education... This country is primarily made up of immigrants. If only the ENGLISH were to be allowed within the US borders, then the US would have a lot smaller population. Add Irishmen, italians, Scotts.. All of which are white, yet all of which were once looked down upon. If we would have never adopted those other nationalities, what would America be like today? There would be no president William McKinnley. remember, America is not yet to capacity, and we can still fit A LOT more people. Now you guys may not like that... Call yourselves haters. China has 5x the population of us in the same space. Think about that.

With that said, mexico has the highest native american population in the americas. You guys r hating on people who were here first. It's about time some people start acknowleding that. Ever seen a really dark 'mexican'.. maybe he doesn't like even being called mexican because mexico is controlled by pure blood white spaniards that don't like indians just as much as english... There are Mexicans, and then there are Indians.. Please recognize.

If i were u, I'd be much more worried about the fob's they may someday make it hard for u to live when they're on top

 

[SeniorBuzz]

what's an FOB?

 

[pugnacious]

Fresh off the boat. Derogatory term made by American born Asians towards newly immigrant ones.

Also majority of south east and eastern Asians immigrant legally. Been like that since the region became stable. The illegal immigrants take a plane over. And stay after there visas are up. Just like illegal immigrants from the U.K and AUS.


I wonder how many decades its going to take for Asian Americans to be really considered "Americans". I mean weve fought in every U.S war since WW2.

Sucks that any Asian involved in mj is always going to be considered some residential black market grower that steals electricity. Any Asian grower = Gang member.

So this is how it feels to be black or mexican.

heh

If legal, or with citizenship. you become an American Asian, American Mexican, American African; honor our flag and welcome to America.

 

[GilligansIsle]

I thought you became an American...

Ok this is not an imigration thread. This is about L. A. Dispensarys ... lets stay on topic.
