(CNN) -- U.S. Sen. John McCain is blaming illegal immigrants for starting some of the wildfires that have scorched hundreds of thousands of acres in Arizona.
"There is substantial evidence that some of these fires have been caused by people who have crossed our border illegally," McCain, R-Arizona, said Saturday at a press conference. "The answer to that part of the problem is to get a secure border."
The Arizona senator, however, did not say what the evidence is, prompting a swift rebuke from Latino civil rights advocates.
"It's easier to fan the flames of intolerance, especially in Arizona," said Randy Parraz, a civil rights advocate who ran unsuccessfully against McCain as a Democratic candidate in 2010.

Why would illegal immigrants set fire to keep warm? The fire is in Arizona, not Alaska. Of course, you do realize that this man is up for reelection in 6 years, right?

Where do people get the information they use. From what they seen and been told by ones they trust to have the correct information. I can only tell you what I seen and what I have been told by people I trust. I tell you what I seen. I am from Southern New Mexico. I grow up ranching on the US and Mexico border. I seen and cleaned up the illegals camps. They leave trash and sometime poorly put out fires. But I have also seen fires that they just let burn out. So I would say yes it is possible that the fire in southern arizona came from Illegals. I am not saying it is but it is possible. They have a large number of illegals that come through that area.

I say you fucking whiny ass farmers living in the southern states started these fires because your pathological liers and bigots. and you hope this little stunt which has quickly gotten out of hand would be blamed on the migrant workers and their families. I'm not saying thats what happened and I certainly dont have the bull horn to spred my uninformed message like McCain does but I beleive this senario is equaly as plausable as the one you and your right wing ilk have proposed.

Maybe not the illegal’s carry fully Auto guns in large numbers in that area. So if it came from gun fire it came from the big guns of the illegals or cartel lead illegal immigrates. The on the south end of the area on fires and to the east is a huge cartel smuggling area.

THat's the point- McCain is simply blaiming one problem on another with no logic, no reason, no possible justification.
Because there is a problem with illegal immigrants in Arizona, did they cause the earthquakes in Japan? How about floods along the Mississippi? How about the crappy ending to the TV series "LOST"- did they cause that too?

But you know what? You can find messes almost as bad in a lot of public places. Now that littering in a lot of places will cause the offender to be fined perhaps it's not as bad as it used to be, but still, it's not only immigrants that leave stuff behind. I've seen a front yard or two that looked just as bad.

No, it was Obama! Obama set the fires!
He, Michelle, and their daughters all went out to Arizona and set the fires to get back at McCain for the election!
And Obama is not even a US Citizen, because he is really a reptilian from the center of the earth! Reptiles can't run for office, so McCain is the real president!
That's it- the forest fires prove McCain should be in the White House!
Republican logic is just wonderful, isn't it?
