Texans doing the job Mexicans won’t
Farmers’ Branch Gold just doesn’t have the same cachet as the real thing, and I bet they need to bring in illegal aliens for the harvest:
DALLAS — Federal drug officials here suspect increased enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border has led traffickers to turn to large-scale marijuana growing in North Texas and other places around the nation where major pot fields have been rare. Authorities have busted three large pot groves in the Dallas area over the past month, including an 8-acre plot containing 10,600 plants, many more than 6 feet tall.
The busted weed was so heavy and bushy, agents used a twin-rotor Chinook helicopter to haul bundled loads of it out of the densely vegetated bottomlands where it was being cultivated.
“What we are getting from arrests and informants is that people are having a tough time getting dope across the border,” said Jimmy Capra, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Dallas regional office.

Not all that surprising. I remember a few years ago when they kept finding cultivated weed fields growing in the National Parks in California.
So I guess the increase in border security is working to at least move some ‘jobs’ back to the U.S.
