More demagoguery from John McCain.
UPI NewsTrack TopNews - UPI.com: "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."

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
