- 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.

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
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.
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
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)_/¯
The US Government needs to take care of its own people This is Disgraceful Criminal & Treacherous 😰😰😰😰😰
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.
UA-cam deletes my post right away. That's criminal. Violating my 1A. Communists
Govt probably funds them
It's amazing how "blatantly open" it's done.
Especially since it's legal! Mind blowing....
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 ?
Why are you “amazed”?
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.
Its is going to be on the American citizens to stop it
If it was legal to grow your own recreationally, the pesticide sprayed chinese pot wouldn't be a thing at all
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!
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."
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.
Dont sell the land to them if they are using it for illegal use.
Christy Noam warned us about this,but nobody listened to her!!!
Perhaps it’s because she has no credibility?
Those are indentured laborers, for sure.
Chinese growing weed in Oklahoma....no border crisis here!😂
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
The phoney Prime van,phoney shipping boxes,
Its all so Chinese , they are the experts at counterfeit,
Phoney passports ,phoney degrees,long list !
Ive heard you cant go to china and buy land. But they can come here nd buy all they want??? Whaattt?
What a mess! And ‘Larry’ sounds like he should get his lungs checked out.
And the people funding this should be removed from the country and the countries fined heavily through tariffs. Greed is destroying America.
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?
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
China or any foreign country should not be allowed to by any property or land in the U.S.
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.
Even where it's legal there's still a huge black market because the regulated stuff is more expensive.
@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?
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.
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….
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’!!
@@rickymac54321 Thank you. UA-cam comments are a sanctuary and protector of the illiterate.
...he said, as he typed this on a UA-cam comment thread.
Are they poisoning it?
Most definitely
@@Mikehunthertz51I’m sure they are. Question is are they secretly selling to the American medical facilities that sell this to patients.
Poision
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
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.
Biden's newcomers
Trump cartel wold get it
This started long before Biden was even in the picture, you need to do some research.
@@KathleenBarker-j3ibut 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.
I live in oklahoma, and go on service calls all the time for broken equipment on their properties. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE, ILLEGALLY!
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.
well what do you expect from chnse? greed
This isn’t news… the whole world knows what you can get away with nowadays in Merica
Why won't the Americans grow their own weed and legalize the sale?
@NotParticularlyAmused You also get a free kite(doober) if you get over 20 dollars worth of gas while your there.
I don't understand why either......
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….
I think there has to be a through investigation in bezos workers now..
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.
Buy legal!!!
Not in Oklahoma though.
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.*
I've been driving across Oklahoma with the windows down cruising and smelled the best weed farms so many times 😊
if your noticing it then the law is involved in the procerss and it is a large protected operation
Should probably just decriminalize it already.
legalize, simple solution
We just smiled and waved sitting there on a sack of seeds.
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.
Your telling me the power companies had no idea this was happening
Maybe Oklahoma should legalize marijuana,so it can be regulated,then,the black market would be obsolete!
They did that…
nothing surprises me anymore
Who sold them the land I need the information please?
remember when a certain rich man bought up a bunch of land ??
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.
Who's in charge and checking this stuff out I'd like to know who's in charge of that
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
And yet there is no RICO. The owner of the property should have had it seized by now
It takes a long time to get a pot grow up and running.
How do they go undetected so long?
Are the neighbors stupid, or is law enforcement inept, or is it both?
I believe law enforcement must be ineptit to the point of looking away long enough for it to be financially positive for the investors.
Time to wake up America, we've been sold out from the police to city councils to state legislators to DC.
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.
@NotParticularlyAmused Not in N.Y. on the Indian Res. Do some research. Steamburg N.Y. chronic link.
Maybe make weed legal and take away the value. This laced weed scare tactic is and has always been ridiculous.
End cannabis prohibition already
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!
File that under ‘who gives a shit.’
And good for them.
You missed the boat, Hunter
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! 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
Guaranteed law enforcement is involved with this grow.
They didn’t have to replicate Fed Ex trucks. Bezos would gladly ship it. And Biden would certainly subsidize their high energy costs. Then tout aboutbeing pro farmer and proclaim ‘if you don’t vote for Biden, you ain’t a farmer’,
Thanks, Biden
The reason is 10% for the Big Guy
This should be national news
steven crowder said this a long time ago
When the chinese fish in Florida. They keep everything they catch. No size limit rules apply to them.
The marijuana business is funded by the Chinese government but pretending isn't government money
Citizens need to take the power back
But yet we cant seen to get a handle on it?
Most countries don't allow foreigners to buy land, they preserve it for their own people to survive.
We have them here in Oregon.
They doing it in Cali too
But the real question is how good is the weed?
Chinese people will be Rich right away ,easy money
They finally made pot a certified "gateway" drug.
The Chinese play the LONG game, and they remember the Opium Wars and the devastation it brought.
KEEP CLOSING THEM, PLEASE!!!
Wasn’t it Oklahoma where some Chinese were found executed?
They grow and don’t get arrested🤔
Even Snoop would go damn Chinese in Oklahoma cultivating weed?
They need to pay attention the who are buying real estate. Especially international buyers. Also investigate all the banks. Definitely money laundering going on.
Real estate transactions are a matter of public record. But you may have trouble finding the bane of the owners since I would think they are owned under an LLC
Imagine it was Californian dudes doing that in China
We the United States should never sell its land to any foreign country
You can thank Biden for that mess your state has to clean up now.
I'm just saying they have way more land than we do, why in USA ? It's just embarrassing😂 for them
News Nation... the American BBC!!!❤🎉😊..... I watch you everyday!!! 🙏❤
Money is like blood in the water. It attracts the sharks.
IN USA ??? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS SITUATION HOW IS HAPPEN???? IS LEGAL?
I was wondering what all the Chinese were doing crossing the border. This makes total sense now!
I am currently in Australia. I found out that the Chinese owns several properties here in Aus even electric companies. Their vehicle brands are everywhere here in Aus. They are almost on the brink of owning the world. Open your eyes and do something.
Diversity. Such a strength.
😒 vigilantes are wrong.
There's quite a few of them here now. Imagine if they all grew. Omg would the game be fd up
Been going on for 10 years now.
I ain’t mad at em.
Yeah both my kids ...hard-core too.Thanks😊
