State Attorney General Bill Lockyer said last month that Mexican drug traffickers are using marijuana profits "to finance the production and distribution of methamphetamine" nationwide.
Without the state's Campaign Against Marijuana Planting - a coordinated effort involving more than 100 local, state and federal drug agencies - Lockyer said the situation would quickly worsen.
Noe and other drug agents described how thousands of illegal Mexican nationals are smuggled across the border into rural areas of California, where their sole purpose is to grow, guard and harvest marijuana.
Noe said the men are provided guns, food and campsites. They're paid up to $10,000 cash for their seasonal marijuana work, which typically runs from April through October, agents said.
Noe said that for the crime families, it's a less risky way of doing business.

Yes, I was aware of that. According to Lou Dobbs, most of the heroine, cocaine and marijuana that gets into the U.S. comes from Mexico.

I agree with jrsygrl on this one. Personally, I didn't see any kind of concrete evidence for this claim of his. Where are these supposed Mexican crime families? Oh right Mexico, I forgot! If these people were doing this, then they would be smuggling them through an underground tunnel linking Mexico to the US. Besides, what about the crimes of rich white people, or is Lockyer just using this as an agenda to stop illegal immigration in addition that he could be up for re-election and this is bait to get the votes in? The guy's a total bonehead, and besides we wouldn't be having such problems with drugs if they were legalized in the first place.

Yeah that is why we chased out 2 meth labs in our neighborhood last year and both were run by illegals from South of our border. In Small Town Wisconsin none the less.

I think that Bill Lockyer is trying to find a way to link marijuana with meth so that marijuana will not be decriminalized. Keep on harvesting!

Nice. Everyone else buys it.
Solution:
No demand, no drug runners. The drug war is just a way to curb the effects of bad parenting.

You know, everyone knows that the best weed comes from Canada, but nobody's complaining about immigration from there, and our border remains open.
