Along With The Border, The Drug Cartels Also Own Our National Parks
Updated: 4 days ago
For more than 20 years, the Mexican drug cartels have been taking over large sections of this nation's once pristine National Parks to grow marijuana on this side of the border, thus placing the supply closer to the demand, and creating more profit.
In September 2019, two drug cartel members were taken into custody during a raid on a marijuana under the thick tree canopies in California's Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Local sheriff’s deputies seized 8,656 growing marijuana plants and 232 pounds of processed marijuana.
National Public Radio reported:
About 3,000 pounds of trash, including discarded clothing, propane tanks and spent cans of insecticide, in addition to three miles of plastic irrigation pipes and open bags of fertilizer were also discovered at the site, suggesting the operation had been in use for years.
‘The true crime here is the fact that they're killing off basically America's public lands, killing off the wildlife, killing off our water,’ says Kevin Mayer, a U.S. Forest Service law enforcement assistant special agent in charge. 'This is stuff that, you know, it's not gonna repair itself.’
