Money in politics is often/ usually a very corrupting influence. People can be bought off, and some are looking for opportunities to enrich themselves in the guise of being “ public servants”

Money has polluted the flowers- to-marijuana transformation of once lovely Carpinteria, and has created chaos with the cartels in the narcotic and avocado business. All of this is a good reason to elect two new SB supervisors - Roy Lee to replace Das Williams, and Frank Troise to replace Joan Hartman.

Sitting around, complaining about our little piece of paradise being destroyed by liberal politicians, and not voting them out, is useless.

It seems strange that America is constantly at war with countries overseas, yet not even a slingshot is let loose against Mexico. I read just the other day that our trade with China is falling, putting Mexico at the top level as our trading partner. Does this, I wonder, include their exports to America of drugs that are killing more than 100,000 Americans a year?

If Mexico exported guns to America that killed more than more than 100,000 Americans a year, punitive actions by America against Mexico to stop the trade would be severe.

Does trade volume include the 5.5 million a year, mainly male, illegal immigrants that entered our country in 2022 & 2023, causing enormous social problems and $Billions in costs across America?

Mexico is a state dominated and controlled by criminal gangs that who have corrupted not only local state governments, but also they are entrenched in the national government and law enforcement across the country.

Furthermore, courtesy of the Biden administration, the Mexican Narco- terrorists now control our borders and are infiltrating our cities with trafficking in drugs and human beings for exploitation.
