Those Illegals! Are most illegal immigrants crooks and drug dealers? Los Angeles is now an inferno--already 10,000 structures lost. Sadly, six with more to come, have lost their homes and lives. One homeowner, it is reported, remained to attempt to save his home. He also battled for hours to stop a neighbor's burning home From spreading to destroy his own. Exhausted after several hours, he lay down in his house to rest. Upon returning, he discovered a band of Guatemalan illegals, Bucketing, in a line, water from a neighbor's pool to stop the fire! He was overwhelmed and asked them why were they doing this? This was not their neighborhood, nor did they know anyone. They simply replied, 'our parents taught us to always do good And this catastrophe is beyond and above us all for personal safety.' Frank Maurer 10 January 2025 1100 Hours.
