here is how orgnized they are in LA,

Mexican drug cartels take over U.S. cities :

"They purchased restaurants, used-car lots, auto-body shops and other small businesses. One of their purposes was to use these businesses for money-laundering operations. Once established in their community, these cartel-financed business owners ran for city council and other local offices. Over time, they were able to buy votes and influence in an effort to take over the management of the town. They wanted to create a comfort zone from which they could operate without interference from local law enforcement."

...an example, L.A. County city of Bell Gardens – corrupt elected officials under the influence of drug lords actually tried to shut down the police department.
City officials who would not cooperate with the Mexican-born city manager were forced out of office," he writes. "Eventually, the L.A. County attorney's office moved in, and the city manager was prosecuted on charges of corruption. Unfortunately, Bell Gardens was only the tip of the iceberg. Other Los Angeles suburbs – including Huntington Park, Lynwood and Southgate – became targets for the cartels."

...there are entire cities (in LA county) under the virtual control of Mexican criminal street gangs and their associated businesses, in some cases, making it dangerous for county, state and national law enforcement officers to venture in and rendering any interdepartmental cooperation impossible.

L.A. = "sanctuary city". Those towns you mentioned (and others) aren't safe to drive through. Even Orange County has been infected now.

We're being colonized with the aid of our own government, from the TOP on down. A sad state of affairs for the United States.

If this isn't enough to make people realize that NEW American leadership is needed, nothing will. The "two parties" favor foreign interests, not American interests.
