. He criticizes illegal immigrants and supports Republican candidates and supports Southeast Asia. McCain is very angry. Recently, the weather in Arizona has been extremely hot and outdoor wildfires have continued, causing residents of the state and island to complain. The loud-mouthed temper of Senator McCain, the state's federal senator, has become even more explosive. According to CNN, U.S. Senator John McCain recently alleged that wildfires ignited by illegal immigrants smuggling into the United States from the U.S.-Mexico border have scorched hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Arizona. As soon as the remarks came out, they immediately triggered protests from immigration groups. McCain said at a press conference on Saturday (18th): "There is a lot of evidence that these fires were caused by some people who crossed our border illegally. To solve this problem, we need to pay attention to border security." However, he did not specifically say what evidence there was, which immediately sparked condemnation from Hispanic civil rights advocates. "It's easy to ignite the flames of intolerance, especially in Arizona," said Palaz, a Hispanic rights advocate who ran for the U.S. Senate on behalf of the Democratic Party in 2010 but lost to McCain. He called McCain's comments "careless and reckless," but in Arizona's political climate, such a tone isn't entirely surprising. He said McCain "should have known better" rather than making such accusations without any factual basis. Fang Ke, president of the National Latino Policy Institute, criticized McCain for what he called "increasingly obvious" political opportunism. McCain's claims were quickly denied by federal Forest Service officials, who made it clear that there was no evidence that the wildfires were started by illegal immigrants. On the 19th, McCain made another statement, expressing concern about the growing isolationism within the Republican Party, especially among the contenders for the party's nomination in the 2012 presidential election. McCain, who campaigned for the Republican Party in the 2008 presidential election, said he was worried about some party candidates' opposition to the United States' participation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) military operation in Libya during the debate on the 13th. McCain pointed out on ABC's "This Week" that Democratic President Obama handled the matter correctly. He said: "Gaddafi was at the door of Benghazi, saying that he would go door to door and kill everyone. That was a city of 700,000 people. If we had not intervened at that time and let this happen, what would everyone say now?" McCain said: "The Republican Party in the 20th century would not do such a thing, let alone this is the 21st century." At last week's intra-party debate in New Hampshire, Republican candidates seeking the presidential nomination who opposed the U.S.'s invasion of Libya included Bachmann, the darling of the Tea Party, and Mitt Romney, who is currently leading the polls. On the 20th, McCain also called on the United States to increase military and political support for members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to counter China in the rising South China Sea sovereignty dispute. McCain said the United States should assist ASEAN member states in developing and deploying early warning systems and coastal patrol vessels in disputed waters. McCain, a former Navy captain, said the United States should also help ASEAN members resolve their disputes through diplomatic channels and "build a more united front," and praised the recent agreement between Malaysia and Brunei as an example. McCain said at a dinner held at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank in Washington, "China intends to exploit differences among ASEAN members to drive discord and advance its own agenda." McCain said the United States should "let other countries know, when possible, which claims are acceptable to the United States, which claims are not acceptable to the United States, and which actions we are prepared to support."
