PHOENIX, June 19 (UPI) -- Illegal immigrants from Mexico are responsible for starting some of the huge wildfires in Arizona, U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., alleges.
At a Phoenix news conference, the right-wing senator claimed illegal immigrants light fires in the wilderness for warmth, to send signals and to distract border agents, CNN said.
"There is substantial evidence that some of these fires have been caused by people who have crossed our border illegally," McCain said. "The answer to that part of the problem is to get a secure border."
However, he offered no evidence to substantiate his claim.

FUJM!!!
ROTF!!
Isn't that supposed to be "Maverick" senator?
I guess he's right wing when the press wants him to be right wing.
.
That's this week. When he's supporting 0bama's Libyan misadventure, he'll be the strong and principled voice of GOP moderation.
Well....I never knew Juanito was a racist.

McCain...Right Wing...
We all have times we sit in front of the computer and come across something so patently absurd that we involuntarily bust up laughing and have a hard time stopping.
This is such a time.
the right-wing senator
Is this a satire piece?
Senator McCain IS far right wing from the mainstream media’s point of view. Personally? I’d put him on the right wing, too. He’s a hair’s width right from dead center.
Well John. Just grant them amnesty and all is good. Right?
You stupid bastard.
Amnesty proponents don't believe in the Rule of Law, they don't believe in the US Constitution, and they should be thrown in jail.

I can’t recall ever reading a CNN/UPI piece where they call anyone a LEFT WING Senator. Weird. Must be some kind of “media” bias or something.
My dad was a doctor in Poland before the war.
When we imigrated he became a steel worker.
True story
My God, how left wing must you be to believe this?
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The people of AZ KNOW that the fires were set by illegal aliens—not only this year but last year. The MSM has not reported it, but honest reporters like Leo Banks have.
I believe it. I worked in a steel mill out in East Chicago back in the 50s, one summer. Youngstown Sheet & Tube. They had great Polish sausage, as they called it, that you could buy for lunch.
The evil RW term applied to McCain? Hillarious stuff from an unnmamed press zombie.
Thank you for that post. The actual story many times gets drowned out by the political noise. ;o)
Regardless of what you think of JM,I believe he is right in this case. 700,000 acres of trees needs to be added to Obamas stupidity account. Plus the firefighters cost, plus the massive carbon footprint.
