Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire. California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.

and we were damned happy to get them. A lot of them came over and stayed here. That added even more flavor to our culture.

That stuff hasn't gone up that much, not in comparison to meat and fresh veggies. Thank Cthulhu we have them! I hope they prosper.

It's nice to know that at least in the firefighter community, they seem to be putting petty politics aside.
