What do we all think of this? Seems pretty nuts to me. They are actively getting in the way of wildlands guys as they do their job out there. I dont think this should be allowed or encouraged. Firefighting is a lot more important than .... risking 20 guys dressed exactly like firefighters crossing the Canadian border?

Why isn't there any comments about the private employers that are collecting federal or state money and are taking advantage of these people? Those are the people we should be going after.

That means you'd be talking about the President, his family, his extended family, everyone in the administration, and, you get the drift.

What does that have to do with the owner of a private company knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant so they can exploit them?
