Illegal Aliens Killed a Friend

[JohnP]

Rob and I go back many years.  Have killed many a coyote on his place, four legged ones, seems we should have been killing the two  legged ones.  A true friend that I'll miss for years to come.  

Next on obama's agenda, fast tracking them to US Citizenship.  

The body of Rancher Rob Krentz and his dog were found shot to death on his ranch. Krentz, who always was good-natured and willing to help people, had called in that he had found an illegal alien at one of his watering holes and was assisting him. That was the last that was heard from him before his body was discovered.

Rob Krentz was a lifelong rancher in Southeastern Arizona, 12 miles north of the U.S./Mexico border and 25 miles northeast of the city of Douglas. He was the father of three children. The ranch has been in his family for three generations, more than 100 years â€" since 1907, and sits on about 35,000 acres with 1,000 head of cattle. Running a ranch is hard work and with the influx of illegal aliens increasing, Rob was at ground zero of the stampede that is destroying the fragile desert landscape.

The Krentz family has received numerous threats in the past by illegal aliens trespassing on their property. In 2002, the family was physically threatened when one of them stumbled upon a group of 39 illegal aliens. They were told to get off the land and they made threats. The Border Patrol did catch the illegal aliens after they were called, but we all know that illegal aliens, if deported, come right back across.

In 1999, Krentz and his wife Susan did an interview with PBS when they came around asking about the issue of illegal immigration and its impacts on the local ranchers.

“We’ve been broken into,” Susan Krentz told PBS.

“One time,” Rob said “You know, we’ve personally been broke in once. And they took about $700 worth of stuff. And you know, if they come in and ask for water, I’ll still give them water. I â€" you know, that’s just my nature.”

In 2003, Congressman Tom Tancredo mentioned the challenges of the border ranchers, and in particular highlighted the the Krentz family’s plight.

“In the month of November, 2002, in the Tucson Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol … where the Krentz ranch is located, the Border Patrol apprehended 23,000 border crossers,” Tancredo wrote. “many people would suggest that the [apprehension] ratio is just about maybe one in five, and that is a very conservative estimate. … I think it is closer to one in ten”.

That means in that sector alone for one month, 8 years ago, the most conservative estimate is that 115,000 illegal aliens crossed the border in that one chunk of land in the Tucson sector. All of the illegals are unknown.

Tancredo notes that the Krentz’s did mention to him that they called the Border Patrol. In one instance illegal aliens had butchered one of his calves.

In February [2002] … a calf was butchered by illegal alien trespassers. Two men responsible were caught. They were tried. They were found guilty. They served a total of 51 days in jail. They were also ordered to pay $200 in restitution to the Krentz ranch. The Krentz ranch has not seen a cent of that money; and, of course, our best guess is they will not because these people have been released. They either came back into the population up here in the U.S.A. or returned to Mexico.

Tancredo goes into the cases of deliberate sabotage of the Krentz ranch’s water supply and the other impacts on the Krentz’s by illegal aliens. You can read more, where Tancredo dubs the Krentzs American Homeland Heroes

6 years after the PBS interview, in 2005, Krentz did an interview with KOLD as the number of illegal aliens exploded.

“We’re being over-run, and it’s costing us lots and lots of money,” Krentz said.

“We figured it up over the last five years and it’s cost us over $8 million,” Krentz said. “Cattle don’t like people walking through, so they move. So, cattle weight loss, destruction of fences, breaking our pipelines, they break them in two and (the pipes) run for two or three days before we find it.”

Krentz went on to say that when he was a boy he actually knew the few illegal aliens that came through looking for work, he said it’s nothing like that now as hundreds of unknown illegals stream across his land.

Rob Krentz is just one of the many people who live and work along our southern border. A tough, hard working man who was trying to make a living and doing what he loved. Those who support illegal aliens will talk about “human rights”, but where were the “human rights” when it came to Rob Krentz? Where was the government to protect our border and prevent this from happening, though they’ve been told time and time again? They didn’t protect his property rights, nor his civil rights.

This country failed Robert Krentz, his family and all who work for him. As they have failed countless families all across this country. The number of deaths is estimated to be from 15-25 deaths caused by illegal aliens each day in this country.

It is not known yet whether Krentz was specifically targeted or whether it was just one of the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who come across our border every year who have actual criminal records, but in the end does it matter? A hard working man was killed on his own land. And all for just trying to help out someone in need.

And that is simply outrageous.

Rest in peace Robert Krentz, the country will surely miss a great and kind man like you

That absolutely enrages me as much as it saddens me. What nobody in the world could do militarily, they are going to do without even having to fight for it.
They are invading the U.S. and going to take her from us.
To think that sorry usurper we have in the Oval office is going aid them makes it all the more horrendous!!

It is a sad day for America when the rights of an illegal alien mean more to us than a man that has been a good, hardworking american.

Many people keep saying how much better it's going to get. I don't see it that way at all. It seems to me our founding fathers were not the weinies that we have become and they stood and fought for what they believed in. God help us. 

I'm so sorry for you and your friends family John. I pray they get the sumbuck that did that to him and they chop his head off.

[Bills Custom Calls]

  it just make me sick to read this
I am sorry for your loss John I will pray for the family


If the Gov is not gonna put a stop to this it is time for the citizens of the USA to take over

[FinsnFur]

Thats a pathetic shame.
It still amazes me how this goes on with the government doing so little to prevent it.

[GunDog]

Sorry to hear this Mr John. We will pray for the Krentz family and there loss as well. 

[KySongDog]

Very sad news.   

My prayers and condolences for his family. 

[JohnP]

My wife has been down there all afternoon.  She just called and said she's on her way home.  Myself and a few others are headed down there shortly.  Will be taking my AR with several 30 round mags, plus a shotgun.  Plan on spending the night and as many nights as need be, we got enough volunteers so that somebody will be there 24/7.  

[iahntr]

Very sorry to hear this John! Prayers to the family,
and all that were friends of his. I can imagine what
you're feeling loosing a friend in this manner, especially
dealing with so much of the same thing yourself.
Take care.

[Todd Rahm]

John, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and frankly pisssed off as an American. You be safe out there.

[alscalls]

   Prayers sent my friend.........   

[Carolina Coyote]

This is just terrible, nothing on the news around here about that but if someone shot an Illegal and killed him the US Government and the main stream media would be all over them. The illegal border crossings have been going way to long and it does not look like no body in government is going to do anything about it, God Bless the Family. So sorry about your friend and glad you and your buddies are headed that way. Be careful. cc

[HuntnCarve]

John,

So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.  We'll keep him and his family in our prayers.  I truly hope his family finds some justice.

[HaMeR]

So Sorry to hear this as well John!! Prayers & Condolences go out to The Krentz Family as well as all of their Friends & especially to you & your Mrs.

[Yotehntr]

I hate to hear this John,  I'll be praying for the family. 

[vvarmitr]

My prayer is Rob Krentz's death isn't in vain. 

Many other things I'd like to say but, ...... this is a public forum.

[Silencer]

Sorry for the loss of a great friend, damn shame.   Prayers sent.

"Sheriff's deputies, U.S. Border Patrol trackers and Department of Corrections dog chase teams followed footsteps approximately 20 miles south to the Mexican border. No suspects have been apprehended."

Suddenly Mexico is a better place to be.

Lets just declare war on Mexico & get this shit over with!
