Mexican fire crew joins the fight – (and discuss immigration)

Tagged: , , , ,

Santana and his fellow crew members are bomberos from Tijuana, Mexico, among the first contingent of firefighters to come north to fight a major blaze. The team of about 40 is assigned to the Harris fire, near the border in San Diego County.

Their grim discovery Thursday was an eerie reminder of what others in their country are willing to risk for a new life in the U.S.

“It’s the consequences of the United States being a First World country and that Mexico is not,” Santana said Friday. “It’s sad.”"*
