Someone please tell me how Squats are supposed to make your arms bigger (bis, tris, forearms?) I have heard many say this but, I don't understand how.

my delts have gotten a lot bigger and ive stopped doing overhead pressing for the last 8 months.. i think the reason is:
heavier benching
squatting/GM's :supporting that much weight on your back
dont look at squats as just a quad exercise

So do squats and deadlifts help you with overall mass even if you are natural? I always had this same question... I started squating and deadlinfting heavy a month ago and I feel the difference in strengh and mass but I can't see it yet in my weight... Should I raise my kcals now?
I'm in about 2600 kcal

They sure do, they should be the cornerstone of your bulking program. If your strength is going up you should up the calories and you should start putting on some size. Form is more important than anything, do not sacrifice good form for heavier poundages.
doing any heavy core motions will make your whole body grow.... the bigger you get, your arms will have more potential for growing bigger too...
look at PLs... they get absolutely massive from doing power exercises... but they dont usually develop the look that bodybuilders do...
do arm exercises, they will make your arms bigger

Its totally true, you're body will adjust itself overall in all areas, and by adding these simple big compound movements it causes your other body parts to tag along so to speak (taken into consideration genetics of course).
Now, i don't have great arm genetics, but they have grown in size right along with everything else, only since I started doing deads and heavy squats last year.
But who gives a shit about arms, look at what it can do to a back....

If you want big arms, SQUAT! Big Chest? SQUAT, Shoulders?, Lats? SQUAT! Few trainees ever see BIG arm size increases without getting the body to grow as a unit, and that is done by heavy squats and deads. If you are a clean trainee especially, trying to get big arms while neglecting squats and deads is fools work.
