Fighting Cowboy Fire Price Tag: 2 Million Dollars - San Diego 6 (http://www.sandiego6.com/news/local/story/Fighting-Cowboy-Fire-Price-Tag-2-Million-Dollars/XDyNcAJry0KzEe3nBxDbRA.cspx - broken link)

CAMPO - The Cowboy Fire out in Potrero is still burning. Cal Fire investigators say two illegal immigrants sending out a distress signal set the blaze that had burned 822 acres by late Friday afternoon. Those immigrants haven't been found.
Your tax dollars at work (or mine at least, because I live here). Cost to taxpayers thus far: 1.9 million dollars.

We were keeping a close eye on this. I was deep in the bush and you could see it for miles. We had no phone and only limited radio so I had to make a trip a day to a high spot and ask the Forest Service employees what was up with that fire.

Yet another expense for the US, aliens starting fires in our back country. There are laws (I couldn't have open flame) and there is common sense. Does the Forest Service write these @#$holes a ticket? Of course not, there are 2 sets of laws here. One for me and one for the stream of Illegals snaking across my playground.

Wow! I wonder how many other wildfires have been started by illegals “trying to survive?” Clearly, they have no regard for the lives of the citizens of this country. It’s always whatever suits their purpose.

If they got away, how is it known that it was a signal fire?

Exactly! Of course, excuses must be found for ALL illegal alien behavior. Nothing is ever their fault or intention. We hear one lame excuse after another for why these “poor souls” must destroy our land, desecrate our flag, displace workers, depress wages, give birth to children they can’t afford, are unable to fight for change in their own countries, etc, etc, etc.

The fire is 100% contained as of this morning. Final cost to California taxpayers: 2.7 MILLION dollars. Additionally, nearly 900 acres were destroyed, and four firemen injured.

Absolutely sickening. How long will our government allow our country to be ravaged by illegal aliens, before they finally say, ENOUGH!

The original story at that link said 911 calls for help to Mexico were intercepted........here's another saying the same thing.

Thanks for the clarification. Of course, it would have helped had I actually bothered to read the article.
