Only on Faux - Immigration connected to the fires in san Diego
50 Illegal Immigrants Surrender After Fleeing Fire on Mexican Border

SAN DIEGO — Fearing for their safety, about 50 suspected illegal immigrants have surrendered to the Border Patrol since Sunday to escape one of Southern California's largest wildfires.

The Border Patrol says no illegal immigrants have been reported injured, but agents are scouting a hilly, heavily wooded area east of San Diego for anyone in trouble. The so-called Harris Fire has burned 22,000 acres near the Mexican border. One civilian has been killed, while 16 people and five firefighters are injured.

The California National Guard says it has pulled about 200 of its 600 troops normally assigned to work security on the Mexican border. Those troops are assisting other agencies on the fire.

Notice how the title gives no hint that they were SUSPECTED illegal immigrants. But I admit I am surprised this story doesn't imply the immigrants started the fire.

How long before they blame the fires on gay Iran-supporting illegal immigrants receiving free health care at Southern California ERs?

:think:

7. Many of the immigrants live in the canyons. Lot's of them in Temecula had as an address,
"the field behind St Henry's church"

I'm sure there will be a lot of immigrant bashing on wing nut radio in San Diego in the coming days as there usually is.

Remember, immigrants do not have any rights unless it's the right to starve to death in Mexico.

9. The right always needs a segment of population to blame.
Edited on Tue Oct-23-07 10:13 PM by rusty quoin
I remember that the right didn't say much about illegal immigration, I'm sure because of the Iraq war and what traitors the Democrats were, until the Dubai-Port thing, and all of a sudden they had something to run with, since the war was not going too well.

11. I'll tell you this, it's going to be a hell of a fight between the immigrants and the anglo
construction workers. Who will get the construction jobs and what will they get paid?

12. If they've just barely escaped a fire that destroyed their homes,
How can they prove which country they're from?
