The Border: Arizona sheriff blames Mexican smugglers for wildfires

More fanning of the flames. Yeah, we know, it's a cliche of a metaphor, but it is apt.

Arizona sheriff blames Mexican smugglers for wildfires | Reuters: "Two Arizona wildfires that scorched a total of a quarter-million acres and destroyed dozens of homes just north of the U.S.-Mexico border were probably started by Mexican smugglers, a county sheriff said on Tuesday.

The assertion by Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever is likely to add to a furor sparked by Arizona Senator John McCain, who suggested that illegal immigrants were to blame for some of the wildfires raging out of control in the state."
