That is funny tater, I do realise that I really need to be in your location and to be a hiking enthusiast to understand that the border fire you link to didn't even start in the US.
BTW if illegals are such a cause of wildfires why is so much of that link on current fires taken up with fires in north eastern Texas?
I take it the Alaskan wildfires are just some latinos who got really lost?

However working off your link why are there so few? Surely if illegals are a worthwhile factor in this wildfire problem then their smuggling routes would dominate the map instead of being by the relatively fire free areas.
So lets get this straight , you are basing your claim on local knowlege backed up by information you provide which shoots great big holes your claims.
Amazing isn't it, how your local expertise can be trumped by simple experience as in.....

However what I do find really distasteful is people jumping up to support that politician using the disaster.
