County Pleads For Immigration Sanity To Save California
From Ecological Disaster
From: Marcellus Armiger (e-mail
him)
I am safe at my home, but
the fires rage all over the county. More than 500,000
people have been evacuated to temporary shelters. That’s
about one of every six residents in the second largest
county in
California… a
bigger catastrophe than
Katrina
My elderly parents were ordered
evacuated for a brief time, but are now back.
The damage is stunning, with many
thousands of acres torched and no doubt many homes still
to burn.
I am haunted by the same thoughts I
had
four years ago during this same week in late October
when I witnessed the devastating fires fueled by the
intense Santa Ana winds.
Whatever
lessons the government may learn about this natural
disaster will be of a tactical nature: how to improve
interagency coordination and so on.
Few, if any, authorities will
ponder the larger question such as how will we adapt
as the climate becomes drier and mammoth firestorms
become more certain?
How will people escape tragedy if
the predicted
fuel scarcity becomes a reality?
Why are we allowing even more
population growth in the southwestern U. S. swollen
by the unceasing flows of legal and illegal
immigration?
Must thousands be
incinerated before our leaders come to their senses?
Armiger’s previous letters, including one on the failure
of the federal energy policy, are
here.
