One arson suspect, Catalino Pineda, is allegedly here legally but may be on probation. Another suspect’s status is more murky. MM addresses the implications, doubtless leading ace reporter Geraldo Rivera to work up a loogie at an undisclosed location.

Now we import our arsonists! Thank a liberal. And thank an enviromentalist for uncontrolled fires.
Mojave Mark on October 26, 2007 at 4:49 PM
Bill the Mexican government for the damage. Simple.
Foreign governments should be held responsible for damage or injury their citizens cause while in this country.

Thank a liberal? I continue to see members of our Party who still haven’t noticed that it’s OUR representatives consistently leading the charge in support of illegal aliens.
Just ask
MexicanAztlan Presidente Jorge Bush.Gregor on October 26, 2007 at 4:54 PM
Proponents of protection and sanctuary for illegal aliens may be acting with the best of intents based on their beliefs, but sooner or later they will realize that their actions have resulted in a lower quality of life , increased public safety issues, massive wage suppression in low income jobs and reduction in health care alternatives for the population as a whole.
As just as they believe their cause is, at some point they will be forced the confront the unintended outcomes of their actions.
CommentGuy on October 26, 2007 at 4:58 PM
Will they though? The left hasn’t really had to confront the unintended consequences and problems of The Great Society and the New Deal, and its been decades.
Bad Candy on October 26, 2007 at 5:03 PM
Oh come on!! These are “hard-working” arsonists! They are only setting fires that lazy Americans are “just not willing” to set!
Gatordoug on October 26, 2007 at 5:05 PM
Michelle looks awake this time!
Bad Candy on October 26, 2007 at 5:08 PM
Waiting for the screams of “scapegoating” to start coming in from the Left
ToddonCapeCod on October 26, 2007 at 5:23 PM
Agreed, but at some point the combination of all the individual things will reach the critical mass of the actions will be hard to hide.
Even now you can see measures that would have occurred almost without comment on their own are all encountering some form of backlash.
That is a sign that awareness of the sum of actions is occurring and the tide may be turning.
CommentGuy on October 26, 2007 at 5:24 PM
I fully expect another “worst off” nomination.
CommentGuy on October 26, 2007 at 5:41 PM
If we’re to believe in Chief Bratton’s policing strategies based on the broken windows theory, then we should look at illegals’ initial breach of our borders as their first broken window. Until that behavior has been addressed or corrected, it is only a matter of time until they commit another crime.
Why are we surprised when we get crime from people from whom we demand no allegiance, documentation or respect?
The Race Card on October 26, 2007 at 6:02 PM
Dude, that’s hardcore considering he wasn’t from Mexico.

Fire is an all to common tool used be aliens and smugglers.

This should outrage people in this country! And start demanding deportation under our laws now.
xler8bmw on October 26, 2007 at 6:58 PM
I wonder if Geraldo was venting his anger at Michelle by spitting on the fires instead of on her.
He’s been down there. Cali should have put his no-talent tokus to work.

HuffPo caught some sites linking to a fake website that fooled a lot of people with a false CNN story trying to make like they were Head Line News, but the URL was bogus.
I just checked to follow to the story and it has already been pulled down by the fakers.
CommentGuy on October 26, 2007 at 7:49 PM
The ‘boss’ looked good! It wsa just too short. She didn’t have enough time to elaborate about the illegals setting the fires to distract the Feds. The other speaker seemed to have good info on the subject also. Neal just cut everything off to soon.
countywolf on October 26, 2007 at 7:54 PM
The fake site was having Mecha claiming to have set the fires.
Some sick people out there.
CommentGuy on October 26, 2007 at 7:58 PM
LoL!

Boosh is not a Conservative or a real Republican. He’s an Internationalist and Mexophile.
cmdrsubfleet on October 26, 2007 at 9:03 PM
The left NEVER conronts the unintended or intended negative outcomes of their actions. They just blame somone else such as you, ,me, or their favorite “Bush did it!!!”
allrsn on October 26, 2007 at 9:18 PM
At the risk of sounding a bit dandy, if not shallow, I must say Michelle’s curls were bangin!
Also, I believe that she will be rewarded greatly for acting with such integrity regarding the Spitmeister and Bloviator. There seems to be a mad rush to utilize her skillset in a much broader capacity by the entire news team at Fox. Oreilly should feel like an ass.
She is as classic as June Beaver’s pearl necklace.

San Diego PD is notorious from refusing to go after even the most horrific crimes perpetrated by illegals.

Time to copy Mexico’s immigration policies.
A little “reciprocity,” anyone?
Texas Nick 77 on October 27, 2007 at 8:04 AM
BRAVO, Speakup!
With such magna-destruction, beware the emphatic ease to utilize cheap illegal labor to rebuild. Can’t you hear it already, “we NEED them” (like a hole in the head).
Given, terror techniques are WRONG.
As per speculation regarding PR terror techniques, the recent explosion at the Mexican Consulate, or in a different scenario the hateful nooses left hanging about another distressing social matter, MAY ILLUSTRATE, as a form of backhanded propaganda, criminal behaviors accomplished on behalf of the very victims in order to stir up PC public sentiment.
Alas, how easy it is to accomplish sabotage in our great nation.
maverick muse on October 27, 2007 at 8:49 AM
On the other side of this, Fox news reported some illegals were arrested for stealing supplies over at the Qualcomm field. Supplies intended for the evacuees.
So the list of heinous acts committed by illegals just gets longer and longer and longer.
And, shouldn’t setting these fires be considered an act of terrorism?
dogsoldier on October 27, 2007 at 10:37 AM
Great work MM and all on the FOX network.
Need remind the enforcement groups that their job is simple, the only problem is that politics clouds the fact that those who are here illegally must know that we are not going to take it anymore.
Also, use the cell phones to communicate-smoke signals got out of control.
MSGTAS on October 27, 2007 at 11:25 AM
As usual, MM did a great job. Too bad Huggy Bear couldn’t extend the time because both had a lot more to say.
Back to the origin of why illegals from any country have invaded ours. There is a thirst for cheap labor, both in the private sector and business world. Until we can learn to cut our own lawns, wash our own windows, or seek out contractors that only employ legal citizens we have no one to blame but ourselves. From the lush fields in California to the chicken and meat processing plants across our country illegal cheap wages have allowed us to eat and export some of the best food in the world. Most of us throw away more food a week than consumed by many families across the globe. Is it right? I don’t think so. It will dig into our pockets to pay non-slave wages for food and services. Absent the background checks on those entering or already living here has created the mess in SoCal with 1/4 of the coastline burnt. Monday morning San Diego will still be a sanctuary city.

I live in Chula Vista which had the Harris fire this year and the Otay fire 4 years ago, burn right up to the Eastern edge of the city. Both fires started out in the middle of nowhere in the county right along the border. If memory serves me right, the Otay fire was attributed to an “illegal” campfire. Draw your own conclusion, I’ve drawn mine. The Harris fire started just east of the highway that goes to the Tecate border crossing. The terrain there is very rugged and is known to be an area that illegal border crossers and drug smugglers use. It could have been started by downed power lines but there’s too much coincidence between when and where both of these fires started, (Predicted and realized Santa Ana conditions, in the middle of a known smuggling area). Also some of the injured people are reported to be illegal immigrants that just happened to be caught in the fire. Also just yesterday the Border Patrol found 4 more bodies near the fire’s origin and I’ll bet you they were illegals too.

Doesn’t Fox have any other experts in forestry management.
scooter on October 27, 2007 at 6:58 PM
Actually Geraldodo was out in California at the bonfire. I heard he was trying to track down those illegal aliens who stole stuff from the stadium hoping that they would hire him as their attorney.
It is sure good to see Michelle showing up on Fox again!
