Rancher faces charges in illegal immigration case

When a rancher leases land from the Federal Gov’t, doesn’t he enter into a contract wherein he is expected to be a good steward of that land...(making) him an agent of the Federal Gov’t to protect that land from encroachment and damage?

That would seem to me then to prefer a duty upon the lessee to detain those who are abusing the leased land. And, judging from your description of the condition of the land after illegals move through, they are indeed abusing the land.

Easily the largest visible problem the EPA should be tackling (as opposed to taking people's property for the sake of mutant critters). We don't see any concern from the Sierra Club, Greenpeace or Earth-Firsters, either.

Nooo! Maintenance comes down to the ranchers and residents of the border who are learning "government support" too often means support of the polluters/invaders. May that scalawag of a prosecutor's lying tongue fall off.
