Let THAT sink in:
The De Havilland Canadair 515 holds 1850 gallons and can refill in 12 seconds from rivers, lakes or the ocean.
Greece recently ordered 7 for 392,000,000 EU or about $57.4 Million USD each, (brand new).

California spent an estimated $31 Billion on illegals in 2023.
(Estimates will vary, but it's a pretty sure bet that the real number for 2025 will be higher)

At those numbers, unless I goofed up the math, California could buy 540 brand new, (and newly upgraded from the already impressive CL 415, discontinued in 2015), state of the art firefighting air tankers for what it spends on intruders.
...in ONE year.
They could buy 500 planes and have enough left over for pilots and all the support needed, from a single year of savings, and the average age of a CL 415 looks to be 25 years.
500+ brand new, state-of-the-art firefighting air-bombers, with an expected service-life of 25 years, and some have gone 30+.
...with what they spend on illegals in one year, some of whom are undoubtably arsonists, causing multi-million-or-billion-dollar fires.
