Cockfighting Raid in California Uncovers Children Living in sheds, $1M Meth Stash
Here is proof of how the citizens of the US are being duped. They live in "sheds" yet have millions in drugs. The sheds and dilapidated housing are often fronts for their drug dealing, and no one knows the better. The media goes into the neighborhoods and takes pictures of these squalid living conditions and attaches a sob story and pulls on the heart strings of the US public. Yes, these people are pulling in millions of dollars. I have seen up close what they have and they are not poor, not even close.
LOS ANGELES – Sheriff's deputies serving a search warrant at a cockfighting operation near Los Angeles found children as young as four living in squalid sheds and a methamphetamine stash worth $1 million. Authorities also recovered 100 roosters and several firearms during the raid at the site in Antelope Valley, Calif., the Los Angeles Times reported. Police arrested six adults on suspicion of narcotics violations. The seven children, aged between four and 17 years, were turned over to child welfare officials.

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.

What we consider poor in this country is considered quite wealthy around the world. Most have fairly new cars/trucks/vans and often more than one. One family here in Fillmore had to buy a vacant lot to park all their cars, and they weren't junkers. I live in the middle of a saturated invaded agricultural town and have done more than just observed what's going on. I have been in positions to ask questions, where they're obligated to answer. So most is not just my opinion, I know the facts. We are being duped by "they just come here for a better life" crap. I know better. But the truth is, we don't owe them a better life, Mexico does, or what ever country they came from. The impact they've had on this town is so bad that the town may basically shut down. I would assume that this is happening to many other towns. I have seen the City's budget and where the money went or is going. I'm doing a story next week on an area of town that receives funding that goes directly to the illegals, both in grants (nonprofits) and out of the general fund. Those receiving the funding know that there's a good chance they won't be getting any more or it will be cut way back, because of the situation the town is in and they want a (sob) story on all the "good they do for the community" but it's not done for the whole community, it's for one specific group. You can bet I'm going to ask some hard questions. |
