There is a difference in "setting fires" and causing fires. Here in Texas its been extremely dry and HOT [102f-107f daily this past week]. Most counties have burn bans [no burning of trash/brush] in rural areas, No BBQ fires and this 4th...no fireworks. State Parks- no camp fires.
There was a large grass fire on IH 10 in Borne, Tx yesterday that shut down the Highway for hours...most likely it was caused by someone tossing a cirgarette butt out the car[I guess it could have been an illegal alien smoking].
For John to illustrate what illegal aliens are known to have done in the past, and not add all the other causes [natural and man-made]to wild fires...may show a loss of reasoning and congintive skills.

Given that illegal aliens have proven their disdain for this country, and total disregard for the safety of our citizens, why on earth would they care if they start a fire, or destroy land?

Totally agree.
They could care less if the USA burn to the ground.

It's going to be a heck of a Summer in the Southwest. Most places missed any Spring rains, and the vegetation is dried out. The forest hasn't been managed very well close into the communities over a number of years (the underbrush has been allowed to grow out, and previous small fires put out quickly).
In the Summertime, illegal aliens don't light fires "to keep warm". They also don't want the smoke to give away their positions. McCain is wrong at least in the current season, in that the problem fires have been away from the border (even further North than I am). I don't know what point he is trying to make currently.

Are you suggesting that illegal aliens are only in Border States? If so, I have news for you. They reside in every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.

Away from the border doesn't mean out of the border state. The "Wallow" fire in Arizona (and now in New Mexico) is so far north that the smoke is thick in Albuquerque. Other fires currently in my state of New Mexico are above Santa Fe (an hour North of Albuquerque), Raton (in the far Northeast corner of the state, determined to be accidental from an ATV rider on railroad property), and in the park of Carlsbad Caverns (in the East of the state, having Texas to the South).
If Illegal aliens set fires, they are in very close proximity to the actual border. I would be very surprised for anything over 25 miles away. The "Horseshoe 2" fire in Arizona, currently furthest South of what I am aware of, is even outside that, and of unknown cause.
...Mr. Edwards, the ranger, cited four other southern Arizona fires, all of them in known smuggling areas, that were found to have been caused by American citizens. One was caused by a rancher whose welding created a spark that ignited the dry underbrush, he said. Another was found to have been caused by target shooters. In two cases, he said, military aircraft engaged in training exercises set off fires.
“The automatic assumption is that it was an illegal immigrant,” Mr. Edwards said, acknowledging that migrants have been found to have caused wildfires by setting campfires to stay warm...
I've already discussed about "keeping warm" in a Summertime that currently has temperatures in the mid-90's and above...
If you want the proper information check out the FEMA site, US Border Control site or the US State Park site. Illegal aliens start cooking fires and signal fires.
