CalFIRE confirms that illegals are setting wildfires out in San Diego's back country
American Thinker ^ | 08/28/2024 | Monica Showalter

When it gets hot, Southern California can become a furnace, and when wildfires start, it becomes a literal furnace. Because of these wildires, local residents pay high homeowner insurance rates, when they can get any at all, and accept strict regulations about clearing brush and not starting open flames on broiling hot dry days.

But as fire season kicks in through October, the desert badlands of San Diego County near the border nevertheless are seeing wildfires, lots of wildfires, all because under the Harris-Biden administration, the border is still wide open.

Now we have the receipts.

According to East County Magazine:

... along the international border, campfires lit by migrants and fires set by smugglers have sparked numerous recent blazes -- also igniting public safety concerns.

After a surge in border fires in May, Amy Reichert, chairwoman of Restore San Diego, obtained public records from CalFire from May 1 through June 1. Reichert claimed that of the eight fires along the border May 1-June 1, seven were tied to illegal border crossers, with one of undetermined cause, since it started in Mexico. 

ECM fact-checked that claim and found it largely accurate, with migrant fires the most likely cause of six fires, shooting the most likely cause in one fire despite a campfire nearby, and the Mexico fire of undetermined cause.

“This crisis poses a significant threat to our entire county and has far-reaching national implications,” Reichart said.  She noted, “San Diego County residents, already on edge due to living in high wildfire threat areas, face additional stress as insurance companies flee California, raise rates, or drop homeowners’ coverage entirely.” Environmental damage and risk to area residents, property owners, and the safety migrants, are also concerns.

Here's the exact details from the CalFIRE records, as East County Magazine reported:

That is a military grade attack. It’s seen as a way to tie
up resources during a conflict. I’m sure these folks have
been trained how to do this. We are letting the enemy within
our gates, and we’re sure to pay hell for it.

I bet that San Diego isn’t the only area that is ‘enjoying this diversity’.

If somebody is ‘setting’ a ‘wildfire’, then it isn’t a ‘wildfire’... It’s arson.

We pay for their hotels and apartments, lose jobs to them, fear for children with former convicts on the loose in our towns, and then they repay us by setting fires.

Wish I could have the power Drew Barrymore had in Firestarter to use against those perps themselves. Turnabout is fair play.

I’ve been saying for years that terrorist will be torching our forests. Wait until they dumb fentanyl into our reservoirs and post snipers on highway overpasses. This is just the beginning.

“+ $150k to help buy a house?”

It comes from England.

WIKI

Help to Buy: Equity Loans: Buyers contribute a 5% deposit, the government provides an equity loan for up to 20% of the property value (40% within London), and buyers must provide the remaining funds themselves, typically from a mortgage. Available only for new-build under a certain amount (e.g. less than £600,000 in England, £300,000 in Wales); the loan is interest-free for the first five years. This is the most high-profile of the schemes, and is often referred to simply as “Help to Buy”. Also known as “phase one” of Help to Buy. Help To Buy was available in Scotland but has stopped accepting new applications as of 5th February 2021. The Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme was closed to new applicants on 31 October 2022.

The most controversial component of Help to Buy is the mortgage guarantee scheme, described by the chief economist at the Institute of Directors as “very dangerous”. Explaining that the UK needed “help to supply, not help to buy”, he noted that

Government guarantees will not increase the supply of homes, but they will drive up prices at a time when it seems likely that house prices are already over-valued. When the scheme is withdrawn any rise in prices that has taken place will be undermined, with potentially disastrous results. There is a real risk that the housing market will become dependent on the underwriting by government, making it very difficult politically to shut the scheme down. This should be of great concern. The world must have gone mad for us to now be discussing endless taxpayer guarantees for mortgages. Instead of trying to pump-up prices, the Government should focus on relaxing planning laws and reducing Local Authority charges on developers to make it easier to build more homes.

It may not be intentional arson, but just carelessness or negligence...but the impact is the same.

arsonist on the move everywhere? still the FakeMSM tries to link it to “climate change”:

26 Aug: US News & World Report: Reuters: Four Arson Suspects Arrested for Setting Fires in Brazil Farmland
(Reporting by Anthony Boadle; Editing by Jamie Freed)
BRASILIA (Reuters) - Four men have been arrested on suspicion of setting fires that have destroyed thousands of hectares of sugarcane plantations in the north of the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, the government said on Monday...

He said three suspects were arrested in the region with containers of gasoline to start fires and a fourth man was arrested on Monday when he was caught setting fire to grass. Federal police are investigating the fires for suspected arson.

Dry weather has increased the frequency of wildfires across Brazil this year, including in the Amazon region. Environmental experts said higher temperatures brought by climate change and widespread deforestation have contributed to the doubling of the number of fires this season...

Gee, I live in California and have been repeatedly “smoked out” by wildfires.

The media and governor always say these destructive fires are caused by one of two things ONLY: Climate Change and/or downed electrical wires.

Electric companies sued, rates through the roof. Just heard today on the local news that another major insurance company is refusing to insure homes in wildfire country.

Who are we to criticize their celebration of diversity. In our vivid panoply of cultures all should be free to express their traditional rituals.
