Maybe Judge Bolton should have used this example in her ridiculous parade of “what-ifs” that marked her decision to strip the meat of out the the Arizona SB1070 law.

But then again, since it is reality and does not fit the Leftist unicorn-flying Nirvana, we instead have to see the outrage of these cartels using the public lands that your tax dollars pay for being used as a base of operations for their criminal activity.

From BBC (Hat Tip: Just One Minute):

Police in California say they have seized $1.7bn worth of marijuana plants in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

They have also arrested 97 people over the past three weeks, most of them Mexican nationals believed to have ties with Mexican drug cartels.

White House drug czar Gil Kerlikowske said police had found industrial-sized plantations of marijuana.

Experts say Mexican cartels are increasingly growing marijuana in the US, rather than smuggling it there.

450 officers from local, state and federal agencies took part in the raids in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in California.

They found more than a hundred locations where marijuana was being grown illegally.

Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said the marijuana plantations were a danger to local residents, as the organised crime gangs behind them “don’t just grow marijuana on our public lands”.

As one comment put it:

That, by the way, is 1,200,000 ounces of prime grade weed, or enough for the entire DNC, Journo List, and MSM.

With over 450 officers involved in over 100 raids, it seems to me that a very large “undue burden” was placed on law enforcement. Not to mention to residents who live in and around these areas.
