SAN DIEGO - The NFL stadium where thousands of displaced residents sought refuge is closing as an evacuation center, a symbolic show of progress against wildfires still menacing Southern California.

Well, it appears that the AP continues to refer to illegals as "migrants" and refuses to identify the one man killed as an illegal, though I have read that fact in other reports. As usual, the MSM has an agenda.

The wildfires are directly blamed for killing three people, a 52-year-old man in Tecate along the Mexican border and a couple in Escondido. Their bodies were discovered in the charred remains of their hillside home.

Border Patrol agents also found four charred bodies in what was believed to be a migrant camp east of San Diego, near the Mexican border. Medical examiners were trying to determine their identities and whether they had died in a fire that destroyed almost 100 homes.

In Orange County, local authorities, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were investigating a fire that destroyed 14 homes. It was believed to be started by an arsonist.

The arsonists should be hung.

"Migrant camp" conjures up images of The Grapes of Wrath. Were any of the residents named Joad?

St. Anne should be thanked for calling off her winds in time for Qualcomm Stadium to be cleaned up for the Chargers game.

Of course they should. But, if it was a migrant(s), the penalty will probably be deportation.

Of course. So many things are different for illegals...it is only peon citizens of the U.S. who are accountable to laws enacted for all.
