At least kudos to Hernandez for initiating the immigration process in 2018. So many live here 30 or 40 years and never do that.
He was in a contract company under investigation BEFORE the fire.
Never involved in fighting THAT fire.
His company was assigned to a nearby city to “chop firewood”.
Arrest him and the company owner who hired him. If we really needed foreign labor for firefighting season they can use the same visa the farm laborers use to legally work here.
He is still illegal. Deport him.
