SAN DIEGO -- Flames were only one worry for some illegal immigrants in the fire zone. Equally scary were the crowded roads and evacuation centers, heavy with law enforcement officers, including U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Some wondered if they would be deported if they went to shelters.
"We decided that we wouldn't go because they ask for your name and everything," said day laborer Jose Salgado, waiting for work off the 5 Freeway near Rancho Santa Fe.

(San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders)
The mayor, he said, has always looked out for the needs of the migrant community and has tried to protect them from encounters with Minutemen and other groups that oppose illegal immigration.

They are the only people who have no property to lose in these fires, and no real roots to the community that prevent them from going to where the fires aren't. Like their home country.
They are among the least affected, but enjoy the most weepy media coverage.
Take your criminal arse back to Mexico then.

Yeah, this guy really wants to assimilate. /sarc
“protect them from .....Minutemen....”
Which Minutemen are these? Are they the same Minutemen who have a non-contact policy with regard to illegals? Or are they the ones who constantly harass, beat up and kill the illegals?
(sarcasm)
By the time they reach mid career, most reporters know how to write one or two stories. The “Sunday Weeper” piece is one of them.
Why not a nice “Family Finds Fido After Fire” Story?
:-)
Skidaddle back to your own country, Jose Salgado (if that is even your name) and go to the Mexican Human rights office and complain. I'm sure they'll fix you up with a free room and welfare check.
And they can take their criminal arsonists back with them!

“We decided that we wouldn’t go because they ask for your name and everything,” said day laborer Jose Salgado
But he told the reporter his name......
More weepy coverage:
The Border Patrol Agents "in their distinct green uniforms" were there to provide support to other agencies. Their mere presence was enough "to scare off some immigrants."
"Critics say local and federal officials should be more sensitive to how immigrants [ILLEGAL ALENS] might perceive things."
They are among the least affected, but enjoy the most weepy media coverage.
BTTT
Looks like this mayor is not fit to hold any pubic office in this country.
I like a catch and release policy. As long as they are released south of the border.
Catch and release is the humane way to fish for illegals.
