I am curious if the whole of the border line was set a flame how much of a reduction there would be in the crossings for one day. Also it would eliminate areas in which to hide (i.e. trees, bushes etc). I know a weird line of thinking considering the sad content this thread started with, but it made me think the other day how useful it would be if we did controlled burning along the very long border line at least in high crossing areas. Just grasping at straws. lol.
Yes this is an crude example of how any thread can be brought back to illegal immigration. [embarrassed--lol.] God bless all the people threatened by these fires and all those that have lost their homes or belongings. May it al be over soon.
A good chunk of it was. The Harris fire, east and south of Chula Vista appears to have straddled the border. The evacuation zone for that one stretched from a few miles inland east along border for about 30 miles. The actual fire area was the eastern 15 or so miles of that, although farther north the fire stretched almost as far west as the evacuation zone.
I doubt if many were interested in border jumping in the San Diego area this week... except those looking to loot the evacuated areas.
