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.
Wrong. Turtle might have won the race, but then they had lunch. " Mexico lost Texas (1836), and after defeat in the war with the U.S. (1846– 1848), it lost the area that is now California, Nevada, and Utah, most of Arizona and New Mexico, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo."

Who said Mexico owned it? Mexico. It meant nothing. The Indians were there before the Mexicans. How can Mexico say it owned Indian land? Land belongs to those who can hold it.
listen carefully. Mexico claimed it had these southwest states because spain claimed they had them. and mexico defeated spain in a revolution in the early 1800's. that is why. but mexico did not collect taxes from these regions. So did they really rule. Texas and California each had an armed rebellion against Mexico in the 1830's. In both cases mexico lost and the people of those states set up their own independent government. Mexico claimed central america too at one time. Doesn't mean they got it. Russia claimed California as theirs'. They had a settlement in northern California. Doesn't mean california was a part of russia.
