Potential hiccup: isn't California in a water crisis? So, upstream of all of this is something like, "Dealing with foreign land-owners who are buying up all the water rights on the West Coast in order to irrigate their animal feed alfalfa farms (say that 5 times fast)." Your fire management issue just became an international concern.

Not a hiccup. Why do we care if foreign farmers can feed their animals? We need to focus on us first. They shouldn’t even be able to buy property here until they’re a citizen.

Hi, yes, it's the Arabians and the Chinese. We let one get away with a massive terrorist attack and the other is a nuclear power who we're trying not to go to war with. Remember, our entry into the Pacific Theater of WWII was predicated on a trade embargo.
...But in general, I do agree that we shouldn't be selling out American resources for foreign countries at our loss.

I’d imagine we don’t need desalinated water to fight fires, but I’m def not an expert in this.

Pretty sure you don’t want to go spraying salt everywhere. Ecologically bad.
