California officials are planning a campaign to eradicate the crop-damaging Mexican fruit fly after the pest was discovered in a Los Angeles suburb.
Agriculture officials on Tuesday said that four Mexican fruit flies – including a mated female – have been found since Dec. 3 in Azusa.
A quarantine has been set up restricting passage of fruits and vegetables in the area.
Ken Pellman, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County agricultural commissioner, says authorities also are stripping fruit from trees at 64 sites and plan to release hundreds of thousands of sterile Mexican fruit flies in a 13-mile area to disrupt the breeding cycle.
Similar efforts were waged against Mediterranean and Oriental fruit flies after they were found in the county in 2007 and earlier this year.
Authorities say all three pests threaten the states $32-billion agricultural industry.
Like it’s wasn’t bad enough we have to put up with the stinking spics, now mexico is now sending us their queer flies.

Use Illegal Aliens Already Here to Solve Farm Worker Shortage?
Democrat politicians and certain RINOs, including our addled president, are always looking for new ways to ram illegal aliens down the throats of reluctant Americans.
In the latest scam, these anti-American knot heads are passing out crying towels to gain support for agricultural tycoons who allegedly face a shortage of farm workers.
Prudent citizens: Save your tears and pity for both the corrupt farmers and the illegal aliens that they are so fond of.
To begin with, growers should not hire illegal aliens. To do so is a violation of U.S. laws, and is a major reason why America is saddled now with upwards of 38 million illegal aliens.
Secondly, how can there be a “shortage of workers” in a nation that is overwhelmed and overrun by illegal aliens?

He also pleaded guilty to abuse of a corpse for moving Countryman’s body to another apartment.

Breaking News: Man gets 90 days for smuggling humans
In the first local conviction under a 2006 state law banning human smuggling, an illegal Mexican immigrant was sentenced to the El Paso County jail Tuesday.
Rogelio Contreras-Acevedo, 30, was sentenced to 90 days in the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center after he pleaded guilty to a felony of attempted smuggling of humans as part of a plea deal with prosecutors. He was originally charged with a felony that could have landed him in prison for up to 12 years.
Contreras-Acevedo, driving a 2000 Dodge Intrepid, was pulled over by a Colorado State Patrol trooper April 16 on Interstate 25 north of Fountain. There were two passengers in the car.
