At least half the stories related to these fires are about how badly they affect the illegal immigrants (or undocumented migrants, or whatever).

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.

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.

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."
