My Prayers go out to the family and friends of Rob Krentz. I pray that they will have the strength they will need to deal with this tragic and senseless loss of a good man's life.
Our ‘government’ is supposed to protect its citizens by protecting the border. It clearly is not doing that. Instead, it seems the citizens need to be protected FROM the government.
We can’t, or won’t defend our borders anymore, have just signed away part of our nuclear arsenal without much in return, are rapidly losing our financial stature, are decimating our manufacturing sector, owe marked amounts of money to communist China, have a President who is friends with a former Weather Underground terrorist and who won’t provide his original birth certificate, and have been moving down the road toward socialism. Am I missing something here?
“Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!”
still their motto...
16,000 IRS agents and not a single border patrol guard.
Shows you what the priorities are.
FUBO
Are any states putting the National Guard at their borders yet???
I’m with you...suprised the WSJ would cover this tragedy. The MSM mostly continues to ignore the biggest domestic story in many years: the border.
If they can’t spin it pro-Obama, they ignore it.
The whole country should read this. Pass it on and maybe we’ll all start understanding what is really going on enough to pressure our government to do something.......anything.
Leo Banks is one of your most ardent supporters, Tammy. His life and writings have been steeped in the richness of our corners of Arizona and New Mexico; he has contributed countless scores of articles for Arizona Highways as well as his contributions to other publications here.
He loves the land and its people; and is touched deeply by the losses of both over the last decade or so.
Ping!
Few seem to get it. This open borders destruction of the U.S. is no accident...This is all being sponsored, backed and aided and abetted by the U.S. government, and has been for all through the Bush years.
The latest NAFBPO report...none of it good.

Mexico Extradites
Mexico, D.F.-The Government of Mexico extradited a record 307 criminals to foreign countries in the last three years. They were wanted in foreign jurisdictions for engaging in crimes involving the narcotics trade, sex offenses and homicides. This announcement came from the Secretary of Foreign Relations of the Federal Attorney General’s Office. Under the Extradition Treaty with the United States, 291 criminals were extradited to the Unites States to stand trial in U.S. Courts. There were 16 individuals extradited to El Salvador and South American countries.
This is only part of the strategy of the Government of Mexico and other countries to combat organized crime and means that there is no immunity granted to criminals. Some thirty-three of those extradited were cases alleging sexual crimes against minors, eighteen were for murder, six were for money laundering, four for violent robbery and three for kidnapping.

Intelligence on narcotics trafficking lacking
Nuevo Leon-“The battle against narcotics trafficking requires a good intelligence program, not more powerful firearms,” said Ex-U.S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell, in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon.
“The first priority, in whatever type of military or anti-drug campaign, is to have intelligence so we know who we are looking for,” said Powell in a press conference at the University of Monterrey. “We need to understand who they are, how they operate, how they move money, how they are recruiting young people and it is not merely a matter of having a war in the streets, and it is not a matter of having more powerful weapons than they have,” said Powell. “The United States has not performed well in the battle against narcotics trafficking. The United States has the greatest number of addicts and is the major consumer of illicit drugs in the world,” according to Powell.
Powell discounted reports that Mexico is a failed state and said that Mexico faces a major challenge. Powell applauded President Calderon’s strategy to confront narcotics trafficking but concluded that the United States has the greatest demand (for drugs) and is the major source of arms (used by the cartels).

-end of report-
I am really ticked off that a rally was held to kick off the campaign for amnesty for illegals- on the very day of the services for Rob Krentz. Talk about a slap in the face to citizens of this country. Senator Reid spoke at the rally among other politicians. Really tells us where their priorities are.
