In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

MY THEORY: It's predominately the white population who have lived in and operated businesses on the California properties that have been devastated by fire. Once the dust and smoke have cleared, government officials will come in and seize a large portion of the burned properties using eminent domain or some other legal reason to take ownership. Subsequently, they will allow foreigners and refugees who are not American citizens to occupy the vacant land that has been seized.

California was in the news again as the headlines blared: “California Governor Signs 'Sanctuary State' Bill.” Of course, that Governor is Jerry Brown and, of late, much of news out of California has been about (a) what the state government is doing for those who may come here, i.e. refugees, or those already here, just not legally, or (b) fighting President Trump.

In a strike at President Trump’s call for more deportations, California lawmakers passed landmark “sanctuary state” legislation earlier this month to shield thousands of immigrants who have entered the U.S. illegally.

Senate Bill 54, approved on the last day of the 2017 legislative session, would limit whom state and local law enforcement officers can hold and question on immigration violations. It’s now on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk and has set off a tense showdown between federal officials and state leaders over its potential effect on public safety.
