I know that this was a senseless crime, commited by an illegal, that the
government has no intention of stopping the flow of them. But why are they
asking for donations…?
The murder of Robert Krentz is obviously a travesty & a lose to his family
and to the ranching community who have lost of brother in the industry. Of
course, we have heard from politicians who have promised to have the National
Guard present of the border but WHO will pay for this? Governor Brewer has
her hands tied with a huge budget deficit! Will President Obama grant the
funding to do this task that is truly needed? In my honest educated opinion,
Mr. Obama has too many fires going & is losing the battle with domestic
policy of late, will that present a scenario of his friends & colleague who
are of hispanic origin crying foul if he does grant funds for the Guard put
on the border! What will President Obama allow to happen on the border? I
hate to mention that he has not had a positive voting record on being able to
be supportive of seeing to all laws dealt on handling the illegal immigration
policy already as law. Will Director of Homeland Security, balk at carrying
out his orders?
