As Arizona continues to deal with a water crisis, there's mounting controversy over foreign-owned companies buying up farmland in parts of La Paz County to grow crops for export.

As Arizona continues to deal with a water crisis, there's mounting controversy over some foreign-owned companies having unlimited access to groundwater in parts of Arizona. The water is reportedly used to grow crops for export. FOX 10's John Hook reports.

Irwin doesn't believe the farm, as well as other foreign-owned farms nearby, are paying their fare share for the groundwater they are using, and she is not alone. "What that does is it hopefully makes some of these companies realize that there is no economic sense for them to do this," said Rep. Gallego.

The city should enforce water meters on their wayer intake. As the city, you should have that power since local residents aren't getting what they need.

America sold out to the commies

You can’t say the country?

And that’s one of the problems of capitalism - for the right price, anything is for sale.

If there are not laws against this, there should be.

Any criticism of the people selling or renting their land to foreign countries or the La Paz county commissioners for not having any water regulations in place?

We're losing Our Country...1 acre at a time...
