Douglass K. Daniel writes at AP:

Days after he cracked that being rich in the U.S. meant earning at least $5 million a year, Republican presidential candidate John McCain acknowledged that he wasn't sure how many houses he and his wealthy wife actually own.

Later, the McCain campaign told Politico that McCain and his wife, Cindy, have at least four in three states, Arizona, California and Virginia. Newsweek recently estimated the two owned at least seven properties.

The question I have about these houses:just how much were illegal aliens involved in their construction? Use of illegal aliens is rather common in construction jobs in California and Arizona these days. I'd be real surprised if these houses are newer if they didn't involve substantial use of illegal workers in their construction.
