Another big one in the news today.

These are Mexican drug cartels/Ms-13, they are armed and dangerous and absolutely destroying public lands.

A large outdoor marijuana grow operation was eradicated Monday on federal land in Baker County, Oregon. Police say two people were arrested at the site and approximately 3,500 marijuana plants were located.

The grow operation is similar to others found over the past several years in eastern Oregon, and was located in rugged terrain in the Snake River area. This is the second large grow operation found in Baker County this year.

The grow yielded marijuana plants 4 to 6 feet in height. Detectives estimate that if the plants were left undetected and allowed to grow to full maturity they would have yielded about two pounds per plant. Estimated value of the marijuana would be $2,000 to $3,500 per pound.

The two men taken into custody were identified as Jose Piedad Gamino-Villa, 28, and Humberto Gamino-Villa, 32, both from Mexico. They were booked in the Baker County Jail for unlawful possession, delivery and manufacturing of marijuana.

[snip]”We believe these were both planted by members of Mexican drug cartels,’’ Duby said. “They find good sources of water and set up drip irrigation systems.”

Duby said the plants were scattered over remote, rugged terrain on about three to five acres of land on terraced hillsides. Typically, law enforcement officials spot the grow operations from the air.

I love how law enforcement always inflates the value of their seizures. Nobody in their right mind would pay $2000/lb from the manufacturer. More likely would have have sold for 800-1000/lb. I'm not endorsing the practice, mind you. Simply pointing out the disinformation in the article most likely provided by the police to increase the gravitas of their bust. Pot is like any other for-profit enterprise. If you buy in large quantities from the manufacturer, you get substantial discounts. Everybody in the supply chain gets a little markup. No "distributor" is going to pay $125 per ounce for a product that sells on the street for $120 per ounce.

More eye openers on the Mexican/South American invasion of the United States, as if we needed any further examples. This past week we have had occasion to spend a bit of time in the ICU Lounge at one of our major SoCal hospitals--simply mind blowing. On several days, packed wall-to-wall with hispanics, very few of whom spoke any english.

Lets be sure to remember to thank our corrupt Washington elite for their de facto open borders policy, as they continue to dream of replacing all of us pesky American voters with the new dumbed down horde of invaders looking for free everything as promised by our Washington elite.
