AP - 6 minutes ago SAN DIEGO - Four charred bodies were found Thursday in an apparent migrant camp burned by one of the wildfires raging across Southern California, authorities said Thursday.

I wonder if this will discourage any people from coming in illegally since people are dying? I doubt it. They will just want us to pay for the burial. Maybe if they had done this legally they would have been able to get help instead of trying to hide from cops AND fire.

The media will give more attention and sympathy to illegals who died than the American citizens who died in the fires.

Sad but true!

So far three illegals have been arrested trying to start new fires. They might want to destroy homes so they can get jobs like they did in the devastation of New Orleans.

It would not surprise me to eventually find out the whole thing was planned in the offices of local mexican consulates.

I didn't know they had made any official arrests. I thought we were still in the "suspect" stage. Do you have a link?

Five people in San Diego, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties have been arrested on suspicion of arson, but none has been linked to any of the major blazes, authorities said Thursday.

A sixth man, Russell Lane Daves, 27, of Topock, Ariz., was shot to death by San Bernardino police Tuesday after he fled officers who approached to see if he might be trying to set a fire.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,305281,00.html

It doesn't say anything about illegals though.

Sounds like they haven't even given names much less nationality on some.

It doesn't say anything about illegals though.

A Fox news report mentioned that one of those arrested is a Guatemalan national. He'll probably turn out to be illegal.

Mexico has firemen, too. I would not be surprised if a Mexican fireman came over the border and set the fire that arson investigators believe was set by somebody who really knew what they were doing. I think it's the Santiago fire.

But Venus, in Mexico, when they say "fight fire with fire," they do just that. The Mexican firefighters show up with flamethrowers instead of water hoses.
