On Monday, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office arrested four illegal aliens at a marijuana growing operation, after being spotted by a hunter. Their marijuana crop had a street value of $413,000. Those arrested were Monica Saldicar, 31, Eleno Angulo, 45, Jesus Ruiz Sepulveda, 51, and Emiliano Arellano, 29, all are Mexican nationals. Sheriff’s deputies also allegedly found a semi-automatic pistol and methamphetamines. Garfield County Sheriff Danny Perkins told ABC4.com: “I would like to express my appreciation to the bow hunter that called in the tip that led to the arrests today. He handled it perfectly: he spotted someone that seemed out of place, he didn't confront the individual but quickly left the scene and then immediately after called the Sheriff's office. This is how we would like everyone to handle these kind of sightings. We are still concerned because these grows present a serious public safety issue; these growers have weapons and present a threat to anyone they come in contact with. With hunting season underway we ask everyone who is enjoying the out-of-doors to use caution, and if you spot something or someone that seems out of place, please call the Sheriff's office immediately.” In addition to using U.S. public lands to smuggle drugs into this nation, the Mexican drug cartels are growing huge amounts of marijuana in our national parks. It is estimated that the cartels produce 30 tons of pot in our parks annually.

I'm really impressed. It was a wilderness until some Mexicans demonstrated that a cash crop could be cultivated there. By the way, do you know what Mexicans called Utah 180 years ago? "Ours".
"Ours". It never belonged to Mexico. Spain claimed it and when the Spanish left Mexico, Mexico claimed it. Who says they ever owned it? Them? Means nothing. I might as well claim the moon.
spain claimed the current US southwest and central america too as their own. and so when spanish colonialism fell in Mexico the Mexicans said they inherited this colonial empire. they didn't get central america because they (the mexicans) did not live there and they didn't get the US southwest for the exact same reason. France, England, Spain, Mexico, Russia, they all claimed that california was their's. doesn't mean they got it. The facts are that nobody who lived in the current US southwest ever paid taxes to the Mexican government even once. A few mexicans (5% of their total national population) lived on our side of the border. But they were not loyal to the mexican government. In california there was a rebellion around 1835. The californians won independence from Mexico. The californians were in fact ethnic mexican who wanted to break off of mexico for reasons I stated, they had no loyalty to the Mexico city government. Shortly after Texas rebelled from Mexico and likewise won its independence. Americans who say that the southwest properly belongs to or did belong to Mexico are idiots. they're yielding to a colonial assertion that was simply false.

I know people of Spanish ancestry who live in northern New Mexico. Not Mexican - - Spanish. They never considered themselves Mexican, even though their ancestors have been in that area for hundreds of years.
