   Yes…illegal immigrants. Burning the cities Americans won’t burn.

   This news needs to get out. Global warming didn’t burn So. California. George Bush didn’t burn So. California. Those fires were intentionally set, and apparently by people who shouldn’t even be here.

   This makes me so mad I could scream!

   Careful there. Not all were intentionally set, and this guy has been tied to one brushfire, not the entire conflagration.

   Screw what Geraldo thinks or does. Here’s another prime example of illegals running around our country doing damage and harm to “OUR” people. The citizens of the USA, not the illegal bottom feeders. I wish this country had a man like Arpejo (I know that’s incorrect) in AZ all over. Things would be different. Fred Thompson has a plan and it should be initiated.

   Apologies, Michelle. I should have clarified. He set that fire, which could have turned into another big disaster.

   Sadly, these fires might actually lead to an slight increase in illegal border crossing. After all, who do you think the unscrupulous contractors will be hiring to rebuild all those homes?

    nail.

    head.

    hammer.

    You’re right; esp. since they poor “migrants” that are building the “homes that Americans won’t build” are out of jobs right now as the home builders go out of business.

    Remember people, illegal immigrants are part of North American Nature. If the illegal did set one of these fires, then that’s what Nature intended, because this is their continent. All of us European invaders need to just go back where we came from. We have no right to have a border, or to protect the homes on our illegitimate land claims. If the natives want to burn up Aztlan, who says we interlopers have any say in it?

    Go home gringos

    We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us!

    This is OUR continent

    Why is this a shock to people? I live in San Diego, and the criminal element from south of the border is well documented (auto theft about the highest in the country, robbery, B&E, arson, child molestation, etc…). As a matter of fact, since the fires, we’ve been “visited” by illegals who have been doing some “looting”. During this kind of emergency, it’s really difficult to catch these sneaks. In a case like this…a nice metal and concrete fence would have stopped these criminals from sashaying across the border to steal from evacuated houses. What does it take? We ignore radical muslims and let them “nest” in the U.S…we ignore the destruction caused by illegals to our infrastructure…soon there won’t be a U.S. that any of us recognizes.

    I am not really sure if what Brian 72 wrote was satire, but these invaders really think this kind of nonsense! What they forget is that they are a conquered people and lost the Mexican-American war and the land is now ours. In some cases, we paid for it! The fact that our current “leaders” chose not to enforce the borders for their own agenda is not the point. The point is that if We, the People do not stand up for our own country and fight for it, we will lose it by default. Yes, organizations like La Raza want this country “back” because they have nothing like it in Mexico. Mexico is a failed nation and they want the easy way out by taking what the people of the United States have accomplished!

    As the saying goes, “over my dead body”. What they don’t realize is that most of us feel this way and they may be in for a real surprise if they push hard enough. There may and, in my opinion, should be a push back that returns each and every illegal trespasser back where they came from with no chance of return. The operative word is “illegal”. Nobody has a problem with legal immigration.

    Wow — that’s quite a statistic. That explains a lot.

    I caught a “blip” on BOR’s radio factor yesterday, and he was laughing about some Freeper thread that said it was probably illegals setting the fires. He was branding the commenters as right-wing loonies. At the time, I thought “Bill, you might not want to dismiss that idea too quickly.” I think I’ll just sit back and watch how the whole thing plays out.

    Other fire related news

    How much the aircraft would have helped will never be known, but their inability to provide quick assistance raises troubling questions about California’s preparations for a fire season that was widely expected to be among the worst on record.

    It took as long as a day for Navy, Marine and California National Guard helicopters to get clearance early this week, in part because state rules require all firefighting choppers to be accompanied by state forestry “fire spotters” who coordinate water or retardant drops. By the time those spotters arrived, the powerful Santa Ana winds stoking the fires had made it too dangerous to fly.

    The National Guard’s C-130 cargo planes, among the most powerful aerial firefighting weapons, never were slated to help. The reason: They’ve yet to be outfitted with tanks needed to carry thousands of gallons of fire retardant, though that was promised four years ago.

    I came from Kansas City, MO. Guess I’ll have to go back there. ~sigh~

    Otherwise I’d have to divide myself up into pieces, and send myself back to Scotland, Ireland, England, and Germany.

    Good morning, it’s beautiful in my part of the world.

    IMHO…It matters not who set the fires (that’s done). The real question is what will the authorities do now. If any of the arsonists are found to be illegal they should be deported after serving prison time, along with the illegal families they brought with them. If they are legal citizens (slap me) they should face hard time as well. The fact that innocents were killed should mandate murder charges. The medical enablers have over time made arsonists out to be suffering from some kind of disease. Nonsense. You don’t just wake up one morning and decide to go burn something down.
