Quote:
I have seen some living in improvised shacks and falling apart farm housing and other dwellings, and also multiple families and others crowded into the same dwellings - those neighborhoods with vehicles parked on every virtually accessible square inch in neighborhoods over a wide swath of California, as well as a few views of the illegal encampment along the creek bed in Alpine, California. Some years ago I even saw one who was actually camping in a large cardboard box at a construction site, he was there for weeks or months while working in the tract. Had a bicycle parked next to the box. While not quite in the "squalid" mode, I saw some of that as well as the condo palaces in Fillmore the last time I was there. Just because some kids are found in shacks surrounded by fighting cocks along with millions of dollars worth of meth doesn't mean that anyone collared by law enforcement on the premises owned either the meth or the money. I'm not saying the suspects weren't involved, but perhaps if even $25.00 of the money or drugs was unaccounted for in the view of whomever ran the enterprise there may have been an "example" killing of one or all. And where does money in the drug trade come from? If it wasn't for that - and the fact that the feds don't meaningfully enforce immigration law - there wouldn't have been any kids, roosters, squalid shacks or mountains of meth worth millions at that site in Los Angeles county.
