- Hidden in the vast prairies of Oklahoma, authorities say Chinese migrants who've entered the country illegally are operating illegal marijuana farms. Investigators say the farms are generating possibly tens of millions of dollars for the migrants. Law enforcement says the farms are popping up faster than they can shut them down. NewsNation Senior Correspondent Brian Entin has been investigating these farms.

It should be illegal for non-citizens to own US land. PERIOD
racist
@@sirdiealot53 Is that a joke? A citizen isn't a race... lol
Too late they own more property than many Americans. Entitled behavior people no longer appreciative.
You basically saying then that if you’re an American citizen it should be ILLEGAL for you to own land in Canada or Mexico.
Since you can only be a citizen of one country usually you’re basically saying all American companies should be forced to sell all their land they own abroad which is a shitzzz ton of land.
Heck the Canada teachers pension owns millions of acres of farmland in the U.S.
@koltoncrane3099
A person is allowed to have multiple citizenships. Dual citizenship is extremely common for people who have parents and families from different countries. Adopted kids have dual citizenship as well, but they can lose their birth citizenship if they go too long without visiting their birth country or if they no longer have relatives in their birth country.
Whose bright idea was it to sell huge areas of American land to Chinese investors? That is THE biggest problem.
And now all those grow this shit
Do you really hate freedom?
THIS IS WHAT TRUMP WAS AND IS TALKING ABOUT!...GOD SAVE AMERICA/USA!!
The former owner of the said land?
@@dianamcfarland1997 still democrats will say this is correct
STOP THIS CRAP NOW !!!
Are they renting or squatting? Just move them out. Period. Deport them. They got drone evidence -- GOOD! Everybody should pay with Credit card or check.
This is good actually, the cost of weed is too damn high
Corporations pay for these comments. It's legal but none of us are allowed to grow it besides Rich Billionaires. FJB💪🏻😎🇺🇲
This comment is like throwing water at a wildfire on TV lol
Illegally draining the water table!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup from corporations to China ...even saudi Arabia..
Dang
Why is the government allowing the Chinese to own or have land in the US anyway. They should be a citizen at least 15 years before even thinking about buying property here in the US. Or maybe not let them at all.
😂😂😂😂 anyone can buy anything here ! Always like that . Get over it
@@gustavoalmeida8344What I want to say to you isn't allowed on this platform!
They own big businesses also like Tyson which is why I won't buy any Tyson products. The greedy people in this country has been selling out our country for years
@@Emmy-J are you against free market and capitalism? 😂😂😂😂 whoever gets money can buy whatever they want. That’s the foundation of this country
Governor Sara Huckabee of Arkansas, put a stop in the form of signing a bill that no land in her state can be sold to any foreign country!
I believe there were 2 other states that followed her lead.
If anyone is growing weed, it should be Americans.
Me 😂
Go ahead. What's stopping you. 😄 🤣
One plant is all you need if you know what your doing to many people growing 100 plants and neglected then
American Capitalism at it's finest!
Thats what their home land wants them to do .
They prolly spraying chemicals/drugs on it also.
Trash weed
Initial and first response is exactly what I thought! My psych nurse practitioner professor says weed has really bad effects on the young developing mind… put that with TikTok and our young generation will crush our American society. Look at all the burglaries and homicides we are seeing these days.
Shaf
If democrats want open borders I think it’s great that the Chinese are being industrious. They’re obviously not collecting government welfare checks if they’re making millions.
Remember Millions of Americans are consuming that weed
Leave the border open thats what you get
It’s more than just an open door. It’s Americans being greedy selling them the land, the local government approving the sale, the utility Company installing power, the local police turning a blind eye, so much more to deal with internally than just an open gate.
My guy you left the entire Pacific Ocean open for Chinese to come here lmao😂
@op_s_lead
You the 🤡
Biden shut down the border, and the republican maga fringes filed suits against it in court 😮
An Oklahoman Republican Attorney General trying to pretend Oklahomans have clean hands in this...LOL. Do your dirt...then blame immigrants...lather, rinse, repeat. Not that immigrants and the Chinese government are not to blame...but c'mon. " Stop throwing these piles of cash at me....I'm suffocating! Ok...Ok... I'll take the cash."
The US Government needs to take care of its own people This is Disgraceful Criminal & Treacherous 😰😰😰😰😰
Ship them back. This is ridiculous!!
Do corporations pay you to post😂 only corporations are allowed to grow marijuana but not anyone else.
@@Chad-bp3hmnot true.
With medical card in Colorado they are allowed to personally grow 6 per medical card (or whatever random number around that. I haven’t lived there for over 8 years.)
They could grow it themselves or designate a certain farm to grow their allotment.
@@punkw7852 that's not true buddy. You have to be 25 mi away from a dispensary just to be allowed to grow 6 plants. The only problem is there's a dispensary on every corner. So that means you have to live in a forest with no civilization. 😂Our government is a complete joke. We have the freedom to do what we are told.
@@punkw7852 You have to be 25 mi away from corporations. There is one on every corner. Which means average Joe can't grow.
In pine boxs
If it was legal to grow your own recreationally, the pesticide sprayed chinese pot wouldn't be a thing at all
It's amazing how "blatantly open" it's done.
Especially since it's legal! Mind blowing....
@@aceloco817 How is an illegal pot farm legal
Freedom is a beautiful thing.
Can’t regulate a flower. Never could never will. Grow poppies their pretty.
Didn't Mayorkas swear under oath that border was secure ?
Shut down there power supply
power companies in on it always been that way from california to tenneesee they know who grows and as long as you pay on time its no problem at all 😂
*their
@@rickymac54321 OR insert “that” BEFORE “there”.
and you get : “Shut down that there power supply”
now grab the banjoes and let’s git ta pickin’!!
This is insane. Criminal. And to think our govt just lets it happen like it’s alright 😮
hahahahahahhahahahahahahhahaha yes yes they do and its so fun to see if those come to just make drugs i dont want to know what ppl are walkin around ur country u put FJB in office what u thought ???
Especially since it's legal in Oklahoma. Mind blowing!! 🤯
@@aceloco817but they aren't. Why are they even here ??? We're being set up.
CZcams deletes my post right away. That's criminal. Violating my 1A. Communists
Govt probably funds them
I live in eastern Oklahoma and you wouldn’t believe how many Chinese grow operations have sprung up over the past 4 years 😡
I thought it was only happening here in California. So you're telling me they are invading our land ? 😡😡😡😡
maybe people need to stop smoking weed or grow their own. Simple solution.
@@f4ll3nzr0 that's not the point sir
Arrest, jail, then deport. What's so complicated about that?!
The issue is they don't want to use money to pay for the deportation. If they don't pay the illegals can't be deported.
Vote Trump or we're all done...
This is happening on a large scale in Maine also.
While the state is forcing small farms to stop for the "greater good" !!
💯
was happening in California before all this
Close the boarder with Main!
even where it's legal, they are undercutting all the legal growers, so making it legal only made it worse, besides legal and illegal competition or turf gang and cartel wars, Jorge Ventura covered this over a decade ago, before news nation even existed, and they put it in smoke houses, like beef Jerky with synthetic toxic chemicals
SO MANY USELESS PEOPLE CROSSING THE BORDER CLOSE THE BORDER NOW
Been spray paint this on buildings for years no one listened and called me racist.
Same thing is happening in the desert of Southern California and the forests of Northern California. Chinese and Cartels. Watched a program of how they are stealing water.
Tom Selleck, the Chinese National, did the same thing
I watched a video about how the Chinese immigrants are the #1 growers in Maine.
@@jokerace8227 Yep
They are everywhere now, in Mexico in USA … preparing to destroy people
I live in northern California and I can positively say that whatever you watched about "cartels" or "Chinese" being here growing weed in NorCal is %100 bullshit. They would literally disappear & never be found. FAFO ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Legal weed is supposed to benefit Americans. Not the Chinese!
Getting real tired of this crap going on in my country.... Big Gov. better step it up or "We The People" are going to do what needs to be done..
"Big Gov" IS the problem.
Look into Local Law Enforcement.
What the heck, why is it always freaking China. Stop messing with usa land.
You do realize that we are are at war right? China has promised to tear America apart from the inside out.
There are many cartels in the US from other countries doing the same thing. So much for the greatest military in the world when you don't even take care of your own country
Opened our border by JOE BIDEN AND VOTERS!
@@Emmy-J Posse Comitatus Act 1878.
Talk to the realtors banks and mortgage companies, it starts there
It’s unbelievable mad 😡
AND did anyone expect anything different to happen???
Dont sell the land to them if they are using it for illegal use.
Chinese growing weed in Oklahoma....no border crisis here!😂
Why is our government giving them a free pass? Answer sleepy joe
It Wasn’t sleepy joe that okayed the selling of America’s heartland. Do some research.
Local officials and electric companies know what's going on, but money talks 2:04. They're paying 4 Xs more for land and electricity.
It’s intentional, to break down this country
All of those Big mouf republicans in Arizona and they do nothing but scream loud like the social media zealots ! Never solving problems , can never show they are doing anything just LIE and point the finger ! Sick to the stomach of the hypocrisy !! Just PITIFUL
Exactly...where is the governor of Oklahoma?
ALL TALK,TALK, TALK, TALK NO F. KING ACTION .
That scene with the reporter and Larry in front of the thunderstorm was cool.
with a dos equis
Came here to say that also
it's a metaphor. A storm rumbling and brewing in the distance.
@@maxten Ah, now you're talking! That's an awesome observation.
Larry's right the "bottom-line" is the $$$ Dollar Sign$$$ The chinese have the money!
Why wouldn’t the power company alert this kind of power consumption?
$$$
It would if you were an average citizen growing weed in your basement
Big money makes eyes close
10% for the big guy and the Demonrats
Ive heard you cant go to china and buy land. But they can come here nd buy all they want??? Whaattt?
Those are indentured laborers, for sure.
What a mess! And ‘Larry’ sounds like he should get his lungs checked out.
Is this for real? This guys acts like this is only an American thing. I certainly don’t like the facts but we’ve been asleep at the wheel of this country, and they know it
👍
And the people funding this should be removed from the country and the countries fined heavily through tariffs. Greed is destroying America.
Crazy that they let this go on illegally and knowing the harm that it does. It should be legalised, regulated and these terrible set ups should be done away with immediately!
Christy Noam warned us about this,but nobody listened to her!!!
Perhaps it’s because she has no credibility?
Biden's newcomers
Trump cartel wold get it
This started long before Biden was even in the picture, you need to do some research.
@@user-sr8dp6vl8vbut the open boarder isn’t helping anything
Voters
@@ksrawat88 all Dems care about is being in power, even if ashes are all that's left to rule over.
if they would legalize it, we could out grow them.
It is legal in Oklahoma to grow it if they are licensed… so I wonder if that’s why they are doing it here? Medical cannabis is legal here and they sell it everywhere. I personally hate it, but it’s here to stay I’m sure.
Its not about pot..its about the illegal oppurtunities outside of Oklahoma worth millions
we want legal recreational american weed
The phoney Prime van,phoney shipping boxes,
Its all so Chinese , they are the experts at counterfeit,
Phoney passports ,phoney degrees,long list !
No wonder the Chinese are coming here illegally.
Bingo!! And it's more than we know! America better get prepared or else
All I'm going to say is, fully legalizing marijuana and securing our southern border would cripple this operation over night and also benefit the American people.
Im going to say this. Mandatory minimum sentences for simple possession
Even where it's legal there's still a huge black market because the regulated stuff is more expensive.
@@sv4996 natural selection
@@Darrinbewitched Guess so. I don't smoke that shit or anything else. Fentanyl is definitely natural selection, we just need to ban narcan for it to come to fruition.
@@Darrinbewitched you don't know what "natural selection" means, huh?
One of those grow house operations is just across the road north of my farm. I’ve only seen people outside there once going through a gate that is always locked. Land was anywhere between 500 and 1500 an acre until they came. Now you can’t get it under 4000.
China or any foreign country should not be allowed to by any property or land in the U.S.
There are two of them behind where I live
Have you reported it?
Why isnt this being stopped ...look how advanced they are....Stop this NOW!
Let's start our own grow we can grow much more yield and top quality 👌
Chinese indoor stealing electric sets the ceiling on prices every year for the rest of weed in California. Artificially lowers the price putting all the honest licensed farmers out of business, Its definitely part of the collapse of the industry. Black market to licensed farmers is 10:1 ratio in CA.
way it should be... i grow and buy my food locally.
Sounds like what happened to the global economy in the 90’s. They started selling the world cheap worthless crap that broke down so that we’re forced to keep replacing them, making them more money. Now that’s become the norm. People don’t even question why things break and wind up in land fills like disposables. We just keep letting them sell us Amazon garbage.
This explains what has been going on with the real estate, business and some other things I have noticed in the past twenty years across the US and globally.
IS real estate has become a money maker for worldwide corporate interests. Just not the Chinese
It’s pricing American working people out of the market
@@emilyfeagin2673 True. The Chinese buy prime real estate in cities such as New York and place the property under an LLC. In Europe, they have tapped into the truffles and wine industry. The Chinese are pretty much involved in everything everywhere from land and natural resources in Africa and Central and South America and now marijuana. Some of our American beer and liquor companies were purchased by Chinese. The Smithfield hams and pork bacon sold in grocery stores is also owned by them.
Are they poisoning it?
Most definitely
@@michealspry2561I’m sure they are. Question is are they secretly selling to the American medical facilities that sell this to patients.
Poision
Yeah, the laws don't allow it. Where's the Oklahoma State Police?
well what do you expect from chnse? greed
Remember this on November election .
Oklahomans will continue to vote red in all 77 counties.
Chinese has been doing this in southeast Asia for hundreds of years, now they're here in the US and other countries. Blame the governments for allowing it to happen and blame the people who sold them the land.
Wouldn't be prudent to simply check land ownership and then take appropriate ............... chances are it's the local government !!!
local govt is pure nepotism and money laundering.
This isn’t news… the whole world knows what you can get away with nowadays in Merica
How do u go to someone else's country and build an illegal business? So bold
*if you know that country is ass than it's easy. the U.S.A is a third world country.*
Binden should serve prison for the victims who have been killed because of his open border policy. Women and now children have suffered, and if i was a family member of any of the victims. I would place a lawsuit!
I agree, but all 77 counties in Oklahoma consistently vote red. Follow the money….
Let's not forget multiple murders at that one grow operation
Gotta legalize it everywhere so the value goes down, otherwise this will keep happening.
As a Humboldt County, California chick, I have the full authority to positively say that their weed looks like trash. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they got caught doing it in Colorado 5 years ago, restaurants and delivery trucks were part of the operation.
I think there has to be a through investigation in bezos workers now..
I'm sure they pay their fair share of taxes.
of course they do!!…. in China😡
I live in oklahoma, and go on service calls all the time for broken equipment on their properties. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE, ILLEGALLY!
If it were legal for all, this would not be a problem. So what is the REAL problem then?
But as a native oklahoman. Dont grow a plant in your backyard for personal use they will steal everything you own and put you under the jail.
I don't understand why either......
if your noticing it then the law is involved in the procerss and it is a large protected operation
Do we have any government ??? if you love America please vote for Trump.
What will he do 😅😅😅😅😅
Hate to be the one to tell you this but T is a businessman (remember we wanted a successful businessman to run our country) and if he thought he could make a dime selling US land to wealthy Chinese investors or save a fortune buying Made in China MAGA caps he’s all in.
AMEN!..VOTE REPUBLICAN/TRUMP TO SAVE OUR AMERICA/USA!!
Trump smokes weed with rappers. These Chinese aren’t hurting anybody, just supplying the states that don’t have legal marijuana.
@@stevemoore-nx8cqyou are wrong. Trump has never smoked or drank alcohol. You're a shill for your masters; or a bot.
Why won't the Americans grow their own weed and legalize the sale?
We do, but illegal weed is cheap
@@NotParticularlyAmused You also get a free kite(doober) if you get over 20 dollars worth of gas while your there.
I worked at grow shop in california, they have been here a long time. They're sending all their money back to China and giving us over fertilized flower with insecticide banned in the U.S. Like pre medical in california old
Maybe Oklahoma should legalize marijuana,so it can be regulated,then,the black market would be obsolete!
They did that…
Buy legal!!!
Not in Oklahoma though.
We just smiled and waved sitting there on a sack of seeds.
Amazon boxes full of weed? Im struggling to see the downside 😅
The downside is that they are taking over the US, and depleting the population while our idiot leaders allow it to happen.
Amazon trucks have been stolen.
To find the perp all you would need to do is follow the trail of twinkies and Doritos
nothing surprises me anymore
And yet there is no RICO. The owner of the property should have had it seized by now
Yeah maybe if you federally legalized it this wouldn’t happen, duh
Get a job!
This is about Cheap unregulated weed. The Feds if they legalized it would heavily tax it. Many criminals organization will still exploit the demand.
Sure it would black market operations exceed legal farms in every legal state.
@@NotParticularlyAmused Not in N.Y. on the Indian Res. Do some research. Steamburg N.Y. chronic link.
As Asian male, this brings more hate to East Asians, SAD!
Illegally here in this country illegally growing marijuana.. We don’t hate them, disappointed in our government for allowing it. It needs to stop.
This has been going on in California for years. It is run by a Chinese syndicate. In California, they buy large homes in million dollar neighborhoods and transform them into grow houses, manned by slave labor.
Who's in charge and checking this stuff out I'd like to know who's in charge of that
Why complain the government made it legal so suck it up
More like smoke it up
Cause they aren't paying taxes
It's not legal in Indiana even for medical use you can't get it legally here but it's on the streets probably laced and killing people now days!
CHINA WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COUNTRY TO GROW POT😂
But I was the first American to perfect it
Local, state, federal governments, energy companies, neighbors.
All are complicit in the selling of America.
FJB!
I agree, all 77 counties in Oklahoma consistently vote red. Riddle me that one….
Vote accordingly and never forget!!!!!
File that under ‘who gives a shit.’
And good for them.
You missed the boat, Hunter
Thanks, Biden
Should probably just decriminalize it already.
legalize, simple solution
I've been driving across Oklahoma with the windows down cruising and smelled the best weed farms so many times 😊
Federal Gov will arrest and fine $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Understand now?
Their are some in our government that are probably getting a kick back for letting them grow it.
Guaranteed law enforcement is involved with this grow.
Who sold them the land I need the information please?
remember when a certain rich man bought up a bunch of land ??
“The Chinese overpay for these lands”. Why is there an issue here? They’re paying for land American’s aren’t interested in at a higher price and doing something productive with the land instead of letting it sit there. No different then the farms growing it legal for the dispensaries. They’re not growing Opium/heroin or anything harmful, just marijuana which is legal in most states. Smh
Arkasas recently made it illegal for China to own land here 🙏🙏🙏. We may be a small state, but I’m thankful our government booted them OUT! 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
And the Oklahoma government is allowing it, it's the only way it could get as bad as they claim.
Yep, and Oklahomas consistently vote red…in all 77 counties.
Y’all remember when people would say, “it doesn’t matter how smart you are, there will always be a Chinese kid that’s smarter than you” 😂
Re-criminalize it. Mandatory minimums
