    ALIPAC On CNN Regarding Krentz Murder in AZ

    ALIPAC NOTE: Very strange that this story appeared on CNN's news blog posted at 11:01pm EST on April 1, 2010. Very odd time for such a story to be posted after 11pm on the eve of Good Friday.

    The killing of an Arizona rancher on his property last weekend has re-ignited a national conversation about illegal immigration and border security. Robert Krentz was shot to death on Saturday on his ranch near Douglas, Arizona, and near the U.S.-Mexico border. He had been working on his property, traveling in an all-terrain vehicle when his brother, who was also working on the ranch, heard Krentz say something over the radio about an "illegal alien" and "hurt."

    The brother assumed that Krentz stopped to help an unauthorized immigrant crossing through the ranch, as he often did, the Cochise County Sheriff's Office said.

    When Krentz did not show up at a pre-arranged meeting that noon, his family began searching for him before calling authorities to come help.

    Near midnight Saturday, a helicopter spotted the rancher's body. He died from a gunshot wound, authorities said. His dog, who was also shot, was critically wounded.

    Authorities followed a set of tracks from the scene that led them 20 miles south, to the Mexican border.

    The killing shook the local community, and could have ramifications for the wider debate on how the Obama Administration is handling border security and immigration.

    Krentz "was a kind and caring man. We're all just taken aback by this whole thing," Dan Bell, who also owns a ranch near the border, told CNN.

    "It's indescribable, we're in shock."

    Immigration restriction advocates and others calling for a more tightly controlled border say the killing is evidence that border security is too lax.

    "There's a lot of blood on the hands of the amnesty-supporting open borders lobby politicians like (Sen.) John McCain, (Department of Homeland Security Secretary) Janet Napolitano, (Sen.) Lindsey Graham, (Sen.) Charles Schumer, (former President George) Bush, and (President Barack) Obama," William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, said in a statement.

    "We want our southern border secured now to save American jobs, property, wages, health, and lives!"


    Former Rep. Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican and now chairman of the Rocky Mountain Foundation, said, "A purposeful blind eye has been turned to the border."

    "If the federal government was doing what it was supposed to do as far as border security, would this have happened?" Tancredo told CNN, speaking of Krentz's death.

    Tancredo, Gheen and others are calling a swift federal response, such as deploying National Guard troops to the border, as has been done in the past, to back up the region's law enforcers.

    Especially in the Arizona region, illicit traffic in people and drugs is high, as heightened enforcement in other parts of the border has funnelled people that way.

    "Anytime you have the murder of a law-abiding American citizen, it's of grave concern to us all," John Morton, assistant homeland security secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), told CNN.

    The government already has a large contingent of resources at the Arizona border, he said, adding that ICE is actively investigating the case of Krentz's killing.

    The agency is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of the person or persons responsible. This is in addition to a $15,000 reward being offered by the Arizona Cattlemen's Association.

    Already this year, ICE and Customs and Border Protection have seen 22 percent increases in cash and firearms seizures, and a 14 percent increase in drug seizures,compared to last year, Morton said.

    "I've never seen such a devotion of resources to the border," he said.

    But critics like Tancredo want to see more. The former congressman called for the firing of Napolitano because, in his opinion, she doesn't care about border security. He also supports mandatory citizenship verification of all employees, in addition to the use of troops along the border.

    Immigration advocates are approaching the Krentz killing from another perspective.

    "We're trying to encourage people not to jump to conclusions before the results of the investigation are in," Jennifer Allen, executive director of the Border Action Network, told CNN.

    Contrary to what anti-immigration voices say, what happened in Arizona is a reminder of the need for comprehensive immigration reform, she said.

    If there was a path to citizenship for the millions of unauthorized immigrants in the United States and a legal framework for workers to come to the United States, it would filter the kind of people crossing the border
    illegally, Allen said.

    "If we can take the immigrant element out of the equation, we can focus on the criminal element," she said.

    Outside of the national debate on immigration and border security, in Cochise County, the sheriff's department, together with ICE, continued to investigate Krentz's death.

    There was still no known motive, sheriff's spokeswoman Carol Capas told CNN.

    CIR probably wouldn't have made a difference and I know amnesty wouldn't have. I'd bet my first born that the individual who murdered Mr. Krentz was a criminal and would not have qualified for legal entry into the country. Furthermore, we already have a "framework" (several actually) for workers to come to the United States. Same old talking points, just another day.

    After reading the article I too feel I must blame those mentioned in the story as being at fault in the death of the Arizona Rancher. I would also add the names of Luis Gutierrez and the members of the hispanic caucus as well because they seem to want to reward all those lawbreakers who are here illegally and are doing all they can to stop the e-verify program, the 287G program, and the enforcement of border patrol inland.

    Due to the fact that the killer went back to Mexico means we might never know who did it, but im willing to bet it was someone associated with a drug cartel as I do not think one single illegal would come that far in from the border and just walk back. That to me makes no sense.
    The fact that some 200 pounds of illegal drugs were confiscated two days before this happened is another reason i think it was Cartel pay back.
    The fact that these ranchers have been asking for help from the federal government for years and have not gotten any help is also disturbing. We live in America and should not have to live in fear on our own property 24/7 because illegals and smugglers dont care about anything or anyone in this country...

    We now have a situation along the Texas Mexico border where drug cartels have told people in a town 3 miles from the border to get out or pay with your blood. they planned on killing the children of people if they didnt pay 5000 pesos for protection. Thus many in the town have left for fort hancock, population 1600. and the cartel members have shown up in town, on school campuses and at school activities. it wont be long before these shoot outs and wars come across the southern border.

    Coming to the streets near you... and you ask why??? blame it on your elected officials in DC who think that its okay to turn the other cheek. Blame it on a DHS secretary who is so incompetent that instead of working to arrest illegals, shes working for the administration trying to get an amnesty bill passed to let every lawbreaker stay here.
    AND she issued a statement last Thursday saying that because there are inspections of cars going south, and weapons and money are being seized that it apparently means the borders are more secure than ever.... TELL that to the Krentz Family!!!!!!!!!!!

    It just makes sense to secure the border - Now! Line the border with agents, law enforcement, the military, whatever it takes. Have them arms length apart, so that no one passes without notice. American lives are too precious to sacrifice for open borders.

    The question, Is there a will to protect the American people?

    What will amnesty give us? More illegal aliens coming for their pathway to citizenship, and more illegal aliens coming to do the murderous acts that ended the life of one United States citizen.

    John 11:25-26
    It is written, Jesus said... "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
    Matthew 19:26
    But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

    I am betting the Mexican police turn over a 14 year old boy who was scared for his life and fired in self defense. They want to defuse this asap so the TRUTH really does not matter.

    BS we already have a pathway to citizenship, what we need is enforcement! Those millions of "unauthorized immigrants" refuse to acknowledge or abide by our laws and that's why we have this problem.
