This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Last week we brought you an exclusive from Sarah Carter authorities telling her that mexican drug cartels are growing marijuana with illegal immigrant labor inside LOS Angeles county. You can see the pictures we have right there on the screen. Yeah that would be marijuana grown illegally. They are grow houses. Local residents are terrified here with more of Sarah Carters Report is Sarah Carter. You are speaking without showing your face because, because we have a fear, they do not, but the residents here do have. I fear it should issue the other way around a fear. My son is here and his children. He was concerned about it. He is surrounded where he lives
with these houses. They are more brazen, its lawlessness in the desert, the wild West. Yes, very much so if we dont do something, it will get worse, not knowing who the people are and knowing what they are doing, which is illegal, its unnerveing. What is your worst fear? Well, I assume people who live out here like myself for live out here, like myself for years, are in the same boat. We move or something worse may happen. Republicans are fighting back, sending a letter to the attorney general demand. Demanding hetake action
here is congressman MIKE Garcia, with Steven Miller. Congressman lets talk about the letter, any response, yes very important topic here. We initiated this letter with my peers from California. This is a national security issue, not just for the local citizens, but Edwards AIR Force Base is in my district and their personnel are not feeling safe and have to go to places with escorts. These are criminal organizations getting free land and water and growing illegal marijuana over several acres. The problem has grown just in the last two months. We put a light on this, but this is why you dont defund the police. This is why you dont stop funding border security. There is a direct result of both of those things
it got out of control. We are hoping that the attorney general plays attention and the local sheriff is helping us get more attention on this. We need to support him. California is experiencing drought for farmers, taking about ten millions of water daily, its bigger than that this is one part of it. They are just growing their illegal crops in the U Dot S using our electricity and our water. Ninety percent of all the heroin in this country crosses that southern border, the same with fentanyl thats, killing over three hundred Americans every week. Addiction is way out of control. What I learned firsthand
working with the border patrol over the last four years. What happens at the border does not stay there. The criminal organizations allowed access into the country they end up in New York, California, and Virginia and everywhere in between you see this time and time again. You have criminal organizations operating with impunity in California, because this administration dismantled immigration enforcement. If we were in charge right now, we will be on the phone and be down there. Making arrests protecting these communities want its not happening because Joe Biden made this a sanctary country for criminal, illegal immigrants, members of gangs and cartels, they will hurt and kill innocent Americans congressman. If I aided and abetted criminal activity, I
would be locked up and put in jail. I am one of the few rule followers I realize conservatives are treated differently. How is it not aiding and abetting criminal activities when we have laws to prevent people from entering this country Illee illegally illegally? They are getting assistance from the Biden administration. They need food, water and education. Who is paying for that? You are spot on where California goes. The nation goes its no surprise when he starts behaving this way. He is an enabler at a national level to one of the largest
humanitarian crises. This nation has ever seen it creeped into my back yards. We need to fight back. We will fix this problem. This is not just a problem in California, its coming to a neighborhood near you last word, Steve Miller. I talked to border agents in recent days who described a sophisticated strategy on the southwest border, where smugglers sent massive numbers of family units and minors and border agents are diverted to address them. Drugs and weapons and cash criminals are pouring into the country. Border agents know its happening, but they are forced to continue this catch and release policy that makes our nation less safe and putting communities in every part of.
