San Diego Keeps Getting Burned (updated, bumped)

"America's Finest City" is long way from healing from the devastating fires that overcame us last week and ravaged many from Otay to Oceanside. By the amount of havoc and damage caused from the fires, it's amazing that the death toll and the number of injuries were so infinitesimal. The fires came without much warning, but the reaction and response time to evacuate and find a safer place was quite expedient, considering the circumstances. After assessing the carnage a week later, it came as no surprise to me who the affected parties are that suffered burn injuries from the fires: ILLEGAL ALIENS. So now, the Tax-Payer is compounded the additional costs of treating the wounds of those that shouldn't have been here in the first place; San Diego gets burned again. I can guarantee you that most people living here legally don't believe that we, the tax-paying citizens of San Diego should be footing the bill for these burn victims. But, we are a nation that is governed by the rule of law (no matter how hackneyed the law may be), so we're forced to pay for the care of anyone who comes here, regardless of their ability to pay. I ask this question to every citizen: Why can't these people be transported to a hospital in Tijuana for treatment? Certainly there are burn units that can provide adequate care for their own citizens in Tijuana, let alone anywhere in Mexico. Enough of the excuses from the "advocates" for those that come here illegally.

(From Nigel:Update): Via Hot Air, San Diego's KUSI TV reports that the UCSD burn center will attempt to get funds for the care of these illegal aliens through the Mexican government. Good luck with that...:
