Welcome To Harvest Season—Mexifornia Style!
By Brenda Walker

Here in Mexifornia, this year's end-of-summer blues has the added downer of the budget crash from decades of open borders. Many state parks are being closed to save money, the legislature is currently negotiating about how many tens of thousands of prison inmates to release onto California streets etc. etc. (Some ammo prices have doubled in a year, I heard the other day at the range.)

Mexicans know what goes on here as well as anyone. Drug cartel honchos have used the opportunity afforded by less law enforcement to boost their marijuana cultivation business—on American territory. A July 28 San Francisco Chronicle headline proclaimed, Mexican growers having big pot year in state.

“Mexican drug traffickers have expanded their marijuana-growing operations in California parks as state and local governments have tightened spending and slashed jobs and services.â€
