But nothing happened there on that front.

Why?

Because this is not killing Americans.

No.

Exactly.

It's not like the drugs.

Agriculture.

Agriculture has been huge and more than ever before.

I mean, the three major points of agriculture where all avocados that you guys eat here and limes that you guys use is coming from Michoacán, Jalisco, Nayarit.

And those are CG&G strongholds.

So what's been happening for the longest time and particularly now as they're trying to diversify their revenue streams.

Cartel operatives are going in to these ranches, these orchards, and telling the farmers who have had these orchards in their families for generations, because I don't know if you know, but raising one avocado tree, if it's successful, which is also just difficult within itself, can take up to 15 years.

So this takes a lot of dedication to be an avocado farmer.

And it's a very profitable fruit.

They call it green gold for something.

and cartels are going in, armed men will show up and say, listen, you're either going to pay me X percentage of whatever you're profiting off of your avocado exports, or this becomes ours.

And a lot of these farmers, they're doing well for themselves, you know, in terms of earning potential in Mexico generally, right?

They're making an honest income.

They're working their asses off.

The whole family is part of this business.
