    I thought these immigrants were supposed to be rapists and criminals. Why are they targeting the ones helping their community???

    Is it possible that there just aren’t enough “dangerous” immigtants?

      Their plan is to let the fire spread to the border to act as some kind of hazardous flaming wall to prevent border crossings.

        Ah yes, that makes sense along the <checks notes> 15 mile wide stretch of water that separates that area from Canada.

          Well duh, hot things are too hot to cross. That’s why they painted the Mexico fence black last week remember? If the fire heats the water too much they can’t cross it. It’s genius is hear, genius!
