Authorities arrested an illegal immigrant Saturday for allegedly starting a bunch of forest fires in Colorado, resulting in hundreds of people being forced to evacuate their homes.
Jesper Joergensen, 52, was taken into custody last Saturday for the suspected arson that started the Springs Fire, according to Costilla County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
Joergensen is not a U.S. citizen and will be handed over to ICE once he has faced arson charges, said a Costilla County detention officer.
The officer could not immediately say what nationality Joergensen held.
I don’t care. Doesn’t matter, because HE’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
The fire has scorched over 38,000 acres (15,378 hectares) between the towns of Fort Garland and La Veta in southern Colorado, forcing more mandatory evacuations of homes and ranches on Saturday in a mountainous area of public and private land.
Dylan R Brown Agency – Farmers Insurance captured video of the wildfire as it devoured a home on Forbes Park in Fort Garland.
The brief clip shows the driveway of the home as fire blazes its way toward the house.
The weird thing about this story? Libs think we– conservatives– don’t care, because this guy doesn’t appear to be Hispanic. But that’s the thing. I DO CARE. HE SHOULDN’T BE HERE. GTHO.
Jesper Joergensen is suspected of starting the most active of around 10 blazes, authorities said. https://t.co/mwWNP57tnI via @HuffPost

Sorry that the US and Denmark are separated by water?
For everyone with the #BuildThatWall crew. Ummm, you do realize that his name is Jesper Joergensen, and he is a white European. Perhaps that wall should become a dome. Yes the report says he’s an immigrant and like clockwork… you’re all triggered.

No. No one here is triggered but lefties. This proves nothing except that lawbreakers SUCK.
