Secure Our Borders!!!
Border murder highlights administration’s failure
By Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski
The tragic murder of a Good Samaritan rancher in Arizona has people yelling for an effective response to this outrage. Although most illegal immigrants are just human beings that are desperately seeking to provide for themselves and their families, this murder shines a spotlight on the Obama administration’s utter failure to secure our borders and uphold the rule of law.
After Reagan made the disastrous mistake of granting amnesty, the first thing he should have done was secure the borders, to stop the flow of illegals. He didn’t. Neither did GHWB. Nor did Clinton. Bush II actually did even less, and yes, before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I bitched about it then too. Now, Obama comes along, and one of the top issues on his agenda is amnesty. I, personally, blame each one of these men for the murder of this rancher, and every other American citizen at the hands of criminal illegal aliens!
A top story on March 30 is that Arizona rancher Robert Krentz was apparently gunned down by an illegal immigrant. Krentz’s family has maintained a ranch in southern Arizona since 1907, and he was known as a compassionate man who gave water and medical care to illegal immigrants crossing his land from Mexico.
Krentz was found shot to death, slumped over his vehicle on his ranch. Police dogs tracked the shooter to the Mexican border 15 miles away, indicating that the shooter was almost certainly someone in this country illegally from Mexico.
The murder of this good man casts in stark relief the outrageous failure of President Barack Obama and Secretary Janet “the system worked” Napolitano to deal with the enormous problem America faces as a result of illegal immigrants. Perhaps if they weren’t so busy taking over the economy (which the Constitution forbids them from doing), they’d actually secure the border (which the Constitution requires them to do).
The failure to uphold the Constitution, and to protect the citizens of the United States falls directly on the shoulders of the current, AND previous, administrations.

I happen to disagree with Mr’s Blackwell and Klukowski. I DO think that those crossing the border are quite aware they are breaking the law, and don’t care. Compassion for those who ‘want a better life’ does NOT include rolling over and playing dead to accommodate them. Many cases of death by illegals have been documented across the country. Many people would still be alive today if the government would do it’s job, instead of poking it’s nose into things they have no right to do.
