Warning on possible pot growers called profiling

DENVER — An advocate for Hispanic rights says she was appalled to learn that the U.S. Forest Service is warning the public that campers who eat tortillas, drink Tecate beer and play Spanish music could be armed marijuana growers.

Polly Baca, co-chairwoman of the Colorado Latino Forum, says the warning is profiling and discriminatory. She says it could put Hispanic campers in danger.

A Forest Service spokesman had no immediate comment Friday.
The agency issued the warning Wednesday amid an investigation into how much marijuana is being cultivated in Colorado's national forests.

More than 14,000 irrigated marijuana plants were found in Colorado's Pike National Forest in July. Federal officials say they believe illegal immigrants were brought to the site from Mexico to tend the plants.

It's time to stop this profiling and go after those old White folks cooking hot dogs on their grill while listening to Lawrence Welk on the radio.

And I was appalled at being labeled a possible TERRORIST because I might like some of the things Ron Paul says....

hey Polly, are you a natural born U S citizen?

The media sure loves political correctness news.

I'm appalled at being called a racist.

I'm appalled at being called a "demogogue" because I DO NOT believe in Illegal Immigration and the invasion of our Country!!!!

They have brought this upon themselves, so a warning like that is probably nothing more than cautioning vulnerable campers who pitch tent in the wrong place, when around the crook in the path is a huge plantation.
Yes, American citizens get profiled if they buy a gun or read Tom Clancy novels, but both are allowed under our laws. What is not allowed is cutting down our national parks to grow pot. There are plenty of laws that Latinos have proven they can break, get sympathy from pro-illegal groups who do not address the laws broken but scream racism.
No matter what these OBL gangs think of Americans, we ain't that stupido. And if they don't like it, get back to the old country. Don't try to change this one to make it more palatable for people that are criminals.

hey POLLY
guess the truth hurts. dont it biotch
