Border Patrol: Agent spotted Monument Fire at its beginning

Border Patrol: Agent spotted wildfire near Sierra Vista
The Border Patrol says one of its agents had spotted the Monument Fire as the blaze near the U.S.-Mexico border was beginning to grow.
The agent who reported the fire wanted to extinguish it but realized it was too big to fight, said Steve Adkinson, a Border Patrol spokesman.
COMMENT: This is getting more and more interesting…now it is confirmed that a Border Patrol agent was right at the location immediately after the Monument Fire started.
I have been to Border Patrol briefings where they tout their electronic surveillance capacity and I have to assume the Border Patrol may have even more documentation about the start of the Monument Fire… if they can overcome the politically correct policy of trying to avoid linking people who enter the country illegally or for illegal purposes and the fires.
A person who crosses the border without going through the port of entry illegally enters the other country.
An “illegal alien” does not necessarily mean a Mexican….because any foreign person is an “alien” and if a foreign person illegally crosses the border they are in fact an “illegal alien”.
The Border Patrol sometimes uses “undocumented alien” or UDA to describe those from other countries who cross the border without proper paperwork.
The fire starter in this case could easily have been a US Citizen…but illegally crossed the border. Or erven a US citizen who started the fire on the Mexican side of the border.
Then again…one does not expect to find Germans or Chinese next to the border where the border fence ends in Cochise County.

Ah, poor Rod; he’s taking the fall for the corruptocrats in Chicago & D.C. I think he won’t last in prison; he knows way too much and will sing soon.

So 3 S dude, there you go. You were wrong. Be a man and admit it.

Actually?
You are making too much sense for anyone to allow you to get very far with as intelligent a piece as you have written. As IF the politicians can stand to read facts instead of acting like bobblehead dolls whenever a lobgyist invites them to lunch

listen, I was working in the area as well when it happened. Smoke started coming up, the agent drove towards where the smoke was and then reported it. He was not near it, maybe a mile away. A dope scout started it, we all know it. What they dont tell you is that there is a scout nest 100 yards directly south of that location, where it started. And no technology can see into that area, at least with how it is set up currently.

Yes: Thanks for your information.
As I remember the area, it is not surprising there were several “eyes” on the area….including a BP agent in the vicinity.
The fact that there are areas not secured leave corridors open to drug smugglers and illegal entry….which is not something DHS wants to officially acknowledge.
And the open borders advocates really don’t like having the destruiction of the countryside linked to all those nice people who just want jobs. Sure…there are a whole bunch of people we need to be able to clear as far as criminal records and move them above-ground…but there is a serious percentage of those who cross the border illegally or for illegal purposes who are not nice people.
The cartel scout nests are all over the region…from the Mexican side of the border northwards to I-8 and I-10.
A rancher near Arivaca found one of the scout 2-way radio phones on a mountain top on his ranch recently.
The border is not secure until no one can cross it without being caught. And the border is not secure until there are no more drug cartel or smuggler scout spotter nests in the borderlands.
