“Rancher sees benefit from a fence”
Maybe it’s a matter of topology.
But I don’t recall any of the ranchers/farmers I know in Oklahoma,
Texas, Kansas or Missouri ever saying that a fence is a bad thing.
(well, as long as there are gates which can be used for access with
permission of the land-owner!).
Therein lies the problem. The illegals and the drug runners:
Believe not only should there be no gates but that if there are they don't need to open them or even close them. Just hop them, leave them open, or worse yet just run over them.
Permission? They don't need no stinking permission from a thieving GRINGO. They are traversing their own land. Land that was stolen from them and rightfully belongs to them.
Don't believe me, just ask the MeChA/Aztlan crowd.
