The pioneers were sent to Dixie to grow cotton. I think they have found another crop that grows better.

Time to catch these guys and send them back to Mexico, Let their own darn country take care of them. They just bring drugs here for our children. I'm tired of the crime. I would like Utah to be a peaceful place once again as old times. Now these drug guys are attacking our smaller Utah towns with all their drugs and corruption.

don't waste time sending them back to Mexico, they'll just sneak back over the border or continue to run their gang from mexico. Throw them in the pokey and leave them there

They are just coming here to do a job no Americans will do. They are supporting their families, and supplying a much needed severvice. Who are we to deny them that right?

It is unfathomable to me that so many politicians and business interests clearly want to keep the border open for the cheap labor it allows, at the expense of the thousands of American youths who die from drugs brought across the border. To me it is the height of selfishness. How many more drug overdoses, deaths, heartbroken parents and shattered lives before the government listens to the people and builds the border fence? Whatever happened to the war on drugs? When was the last time we heard anything about it?

What an enormous waste of taxpayer money. Attempting to eradicate a crop that a good percentage of the population wants to consume. We are not the home of the free and brave anymore.

This is opression at it's worst.

Five drug farms have been discovered. Is just the tip of the iceburg in the West.

What part of the population consume drugs? The brain dead.

I'm tired of all these drugs. Drugs are destroying our fair community.

According to the Sutherland institute we should get to know these "neighbors" who live among us, cultivating their crops. After all they are just like us since the sometimes get married, have kids, divorce just like we do.

If Mexicans are a bunch of drug traffickers than Americans are a bunch of drug addicts because if it wasnt for the drug users their would be no reason to bring in any drugs in the first place. It starts at home with the parents keep an eye on your kids and they wont be on drugs take some interest in their lives.
