Here in Oregon there are huge illegal grows now, and they have skyrocketed. And at the same time, we are discovering that the cartels are using slave labor to maintain them. Right here in our own ******* country, thanks to goddamned ******* potheads!!!!!!!!!!1
Here is why: The US federal government is ignoring the growing cartel activity. Their primary locations (like Chicago) across the states have been known for years, yet we only read about innocent deaths due to territorial disputes. When cartel members are apprehended-typically low rung drug runners apprehended at the border- they are released within 24 hours. When interviewed say they will do it again the next day- the fine is always paid so they’re immediately released when caught crossing the border illegally. Over and over this pattern goes on by the hour, the numbers are unknown.
Let’s look at the rough estimate of illegal entry composed of people who avoid being vetted:
“This week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that apprehensions of illegal immigrants
surpassed 2.1 million for the fiscal year in August, with more than 203,000 apprehensions last month alone, marking six straight months of southwest border arrests exceeding 200,000.”
TPPF report explains, is that the cartels “increasingly supplant the legitimate sovereignty of the Mexican state with their own — often in cooperation with major elements of that state. The qualitative difference since 2018 has been the near-open role of the current Mexican president in allowing, and
perhaps even participating in, that cooperation.” Indeed, by some estimates cartels now control
up to 40 percent of Mexican territory.”
Amid record numbers of illegal border-crossers, a larger crisis looms in Mexico with dire implications for the United States.

Added note- The cartels also work in conjunction with gangs such as MS-13 in distribution and selling. The corruption within Mexico will continue to spread north into the states and into more of the positions of authority, unless it is a full on effort to wipe out! Our federal government is closing their eyes and their negligence encourages more illegal entries to freely come into the states.
Clamp down on the border with stringent measures and repercussions, and target each drug cartel taking them down that are openly functioning within our cities. Separate the cartels from the US residents who grow their own pot in small quantities for personal use. Jails are full of the latter and where are these cartel members? They have no worries their dealer bails them out and they leave the country for a while and come back again.
