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".
Colorado means Ruddy or Red in Spanish. At one time part of Colorado was Mexican.
And at one time your car was owned by the factory, until they SOLD it to you. Sold - The transfer of property from one owner to another in exchange for something of value. Mexico SOLD us the land and we paid for it fair and square. I don't care if the wets say the Treaty of Guadalupe was signed under duress and that if they didn't sign it we would have taken the land. They DID sign it and we DID pay them. It sounds like sellers remorse to me.
It sounds like sellers remorse to me. Sounds a little like Eminent Domain to me. They first offer the property owner some money for their land. When that doesn't work, they evict by force. So if someone is forced to sell their home to the government and they acquiesce to doing so, then their is no legitimate reason for any bitterness or remorse? It is after all, the state involved in both "transactions". Everything government does, past and present should be critically scrutinized regardless of who they interacted with.
Or Manifest Destiny I believe in Manifest Destiny. I don't have a problem with our taking land by force from Mexico or Canada or France or Spain, or Russia. As it turned out we bought the land, but the Mexicans knew if they didn't sell, they'd have to fight (again) We bought Florida and Louisiana the same way, not sure about Alaska. If we hadn't already fought 2 wars against Britain, I'm sure we would have pursued our invasion of Canada. Too bad we didn't and history will show it was one of our greatest mistakes. BTW, how did Mexico talk the Indians into becoming Mexicans? How did the French do it? It's a hardball world and sometimes you have to take want you want, if you don't the King surely will.
Seward's Purchase ......1896???
