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:

It isn't immigration as previously understood. It's not even illegal immigration with people sneaking in to work off the books.

This is part of a government program of ethnic cleansing.

Deportations will not be enough to fix this. We need to go after the perpetrators in our own ruling class, both in and out of government.

Nothing is done about this because all our judges and congressmen are paid huge bribes by mexico to let the invasion continue.

Until America starts fighting back at these bass turds, it’s not going to stop. These Neanderthals are coming here to rape and pillage. Time for America to wake up. The RATS’ woke booschidt isn’t working.

The problem is that Smokey Bear is not bilingual.

Between the selfish illegal aliens and the anarchists like those who burned my hometown, we won’t have anything left!

Add to that breaching hydroelectric dams so we have nothing to fight wildfire.

Easy solution.

Close up the border tight NOW.

Deport ALL illegals, every last one.

America is being destroyed from within, and no one is doing anything about it.

We’ve never had fires like this until the borders were left wide open with border crossers, terrorists and anarchists burning us out. Almost all have been arson. It is a war tactic and should be treated as such.

I hadn’t considered the wildfire factor of destroying those
dams.

In Southern Arizona and New Mexico illegals do set fires on purpose. They do it as a diversion when smuggling in loads of drugs.

Yes. Unintended consequences.

In 2018 and the Klamathon Fire, Ashland, Oregon 15 miles away was saved because of the water they were able to take out of the Irongate Lake behind the dam and the full River.
Now we have neither. Maybe ‘science’ can turn miles of 6 foot deep poison silt into fire retardant.

You’d think that the envirofreaks around Ashland might have considered their celebration of the destruction of our homes after that dam saved theirs.
Irony abounds!

The leftists love torturing the locals about their loss of rights and homes.
Horrible people.

For the Almeda fire that took my home 2 years later, it was urban. They didn’t even bring in fire fighting crews or evacuate us. They didn’t try to stop it.

Oh great. Sorry to hear that.

Yep, the Leftists are content to destroy their own lives.

Beats anything I’ve ever seen. They have no will to survive.

Hope things are pretty level for you right now.
