Wildfires: caused by mass immigration

Why is Southern California experiencing such devastating fires on such a frequent basis over the last few years?

Historically Fall fires are a common phenomena is the region, but they used to occur in rural areas far from the major population centers and coastal cities and would usually be quickly contained. Yet, for the second time in four years mega fires have swept into the city of San Diego and its suburbs, destroying thousands of homes and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate. So what is causing this now? There is no doubt that this region is not able to truly sustain so many millions of people. There is already not enough water, and it must be diverted from thousands of miles away to serve Los Angeles, San Diego, and urban California. The land is fragile, dry, and easily damaged. Yet we bring in thousands, indeed hundreds of thousands of foreign immigrants, both legal and illegal, every year to the already crowded region.

If one excludes foreign immigrants and their children, California would have had a net population loss over the past twenty years. Yet, populations continue to explode fueling ever more pressure on the fragile land, and ever more development of houses and subdivisions, office parks, and shopping centers filling in undeveloped spaces and pushing farther out into the rural areas. More people, more sources to start fires. More development, more houses to burn. There is nowhere for these fires to go without hitting developed areas. There are more and more people and human factors that can cause these fires to start (power lines, arsonists, cigarette butts, electrical sparks). Vested interests such as the developers, businesses, social liberals and ethnic activists, all these interst groups don't want the finger to point where it belongs: on mass immigration as the source of the population explosion and the corresponding environmental catastrophy its causing.

When will we realize, we can't continue to take such high volumes of immigrants into America? Its time to wake up.

Wow. That is the first I have ever heard of that theory.

The US population has gone up by approximately 100 million in 30 years. Most of that is from US natives.
