Illegal immigrants started nearly 40 percent of human-caused wildfires along the Arizona and Mexico border between 2006 and 2010, according to a new government report that backs up claims state lawmakers made during this year’s catastrophic blazes.

That number even may be understated - the report by the Government Accountability Office said federal land agencies often violate their own policies by not trying to investigate the origins of such fires. Of the 422 human-caused fires, just 77 were investigated, and of those 30 were found to have been ignited by illegal border crosses.

Illegal immigration also makes battling the fires harder as firefighters worry more about their own safety and curb some tactics, such as backfires, for fear of harming illegal immigrants who may still be in the area, GAO said.

” Not one of these vote-obsessed candidates has EVER questioned hyphenates’ loyalties........and the threat this poses to US ntl security.

Its high time we abolished hyphenates-—and the odious practice of establishing a foreign country within our country-——for the express purpose of undermining US ntl security-——and to decimate US laws and customs. “

BINGO!
