this article is racist as hell. shame on you banks. people should not be forced to risk their lives and walk through the desert just to be able to feed their famlies. the concern here should be about nafta, and other brutal u.s. economic policies and programs that displace masses of people, force them off their land, and into economic slavery in the states. even if the fire was started by a person crossing, why aren't you writing about how people are forced into crossing? why not prevent fires (if that is the case, which your evidence is unconvincing and smeared by your blatant racism), by getting at the root causes of migration--which is directly linked to brutal and destructive u.s. economic policy?

Re: “Arizona Burning”
"Instead of saying human-caused, why can't you say it was UDAs (undocumented aliens)"--Example of racism? This quote is basically implying that undocumented folks are not human. It is completely unacceptable for the weekly to publish such a biggoted article. shame on you.
