I just read on another website that at least 2 of the people being held as suspects are Mexican illegals that have ties to immigration protest organizations. Has anyone else heard this.
I did find this artlicle from the Washington Times from several months ago where fires were being set on the border to distract Border Patrol Agents. I wonder...is it possible, that this is the cause for all the devastation?
I live about 6 miles from a DEFINITE arson site in these fires---never heard any "illegal alien" connection. I have heard a couple of "al-Qaeda" theories, though......The "back country" remains sealed off (I can hear the police road block as I write this) and the place is crawling with "feds". But so far, no suggestion it was the work of illegals.
And what do we know of Gorgonio Nava? It looks like you did a cut and paste from the ALIPAC site which also goes on to say Catalino Pineda is being called a "native of Guatemala", by the police and the Los Angeles Daily News, and "He is currently on probation for making excessive false emergency reports to law enforcement, police said"
You are right that as Americans we tend to categorize anyone coming from our southern border as Mexican, but I am sure how you can see that this is an easy correlation to make since all illegals that come into this country from the south are coming through Mexico

Uh...I don't make that assumption. I had lots of latino friends in high school and most of them weren't from Mexico; they came from El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala.

Did they come through Mexico? Or did they fly from their home countries. If they did not cross at the Mexican border, then the statement really doesn't apply to them. I did not say anyone from south of the border is Mexican. I said it is an easy assumption to make that anyone coming over the Mexican border is Mexican. It did not say it was right, I was just acknowledging how this assumption could come into play.
