The California Department of Food and Agriculture has some of the strictest laws of bug and animal enforcement in the land

Without approval at the border stations most fruit, vegetables and animals are banned

“The importation or smuggling into California of live plants and plant products or unapproved, uninspected, or uncertified wild or domesticated animals will have serious legal and financial consequences for the persons involved”

Straight from the CDFA webpage this is how the destruction of California’s food source was solved

Bring a grapefruit on a camping trip from Arizona, bring Fluffy the cat without proper paperwork, or a Wandering Jew to hang in the window, and you’ll be in violation

But humans can stream across the border illegally unchecked and unfettered as part of a mass migration

It’s funny how California has dedicated massive amounts of time and money to eradicating various species of bugs

But people following in the insect’s flight paths are met with lackadaisical shrugs

For instance one of the insects that California takes great pains to eliminate is the Oriental Fruit Fly

Known to attack over 230 different fruits and vegetables these bugs can eliminate an entire fruit crop and cause a drop in supply

According to statistics published by the Migration Policy Institute in 2019 Asian undocumented migrants now make up 18% of the illegal group

And much like the Sub-Saharan Medfly, a good many Africans have also arrived here after flying the coop

The Medfly from Africa is considered by many to be one of the world’s most destructive pests

Without any way to control an invasion both the bugs and the fence jumpers will become permanent guests

The Mexican Fruit Fly is a major problem for the farmer’s citrus crop

Known to wipe out the entire orchard, costly major spraying of poisons is needed to put this to a stop

The Imported Red Fire Ant showed up around 1930. Imported in timber and plant root balls colonies thrived

Communicating by a series of semiochemicals and pheromones they blazed a trail that was easy to follow when the next batch arrived

Much like the human caravans follow a social media trail directed by a shadowy government agent in authority

Living free from handouts by the Catholic Charities and the Red Cross they too form their own colonies and make a temporary visa a priority

With its roots dating back to 1880 the CDFA established a goal of eradicating pests with the common prefix of Mediterranean, Mexican and Oriental

Little did they realize that humans with the same identifying prefix’s would invade and to the state’s resources become just as detrimental
