Yeah, I'm glad we have our priorities straight.
Not sure if you’ll be getting priority the next time a fire breaks out at an Border Patrol facility.
Could be arranged to be very soon.
How easy would it be to do this? Asking for a friend.
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?
They need to meet their quotas and sell a narrative to ensure people don't realize Republicans are the real enemies.
~~Republicans~~Conservatives ftfy.
Voting Republican enables all this... So no you didn't fix it for me. For you.
“Trump has undercut our wildland firefighting abilities in more ways than one—from decimating the Forest Service and pushing out thousands of critical support staff, to now apparently detaining firefighters on the job,” she said in a statement. “This administration’s immigration policy is fundamentally sick. Trump has wrongfully detained everyone from lawful green card holders to American citizens—no one should assume this was necessary or appropriate.”
Under the Biden administration, the Department of Homeland Security said it would not conduct immigration enforcement “at locations where disaster and emergency response and relief is being provided” such as evacuation routes or areas where emergency supplies are being distributed.
Take a page from the Parisians
Shouldn't they be helping?
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 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!
They could also just pollute the water to the point it catches on fire. And who said that only that section of border was their goal? They want a wall of flames from coast to coast.
Cleveland has entered the chat
Cleveland: can we also bring balloons?
I love that they painted the American side of the wall, and not the Mexican side.
They haven’t helped anyone in their lives other than themselves, why would they start now?
I feel safer. Does everyone feel safer. /s
So much winning. USA! USA!
