PHOENIX (AP) _ Cochise County investigators say a prominent southeast Arizona rancher likely was killed by an illegal immigrant but there's no evidence to suggest there was any confrontation that led to the shooting.

The body of 58-year-old Robert Krentz was located before midnight Saturday on his 35,000 acre ranch about 35 miles northeast of Douglas after his brother reported that he had lost radio contact with Krentz earlier in the day.

“At a news conference Monday, Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever says Krentz was out checking water line and fencing on the land Krentz’s family has ranched since 1907. Dever says Krentz had weapons with him in his all-terrain vehicle but didn’t use them. “

It was an AMBUSH!

Nothing to see here. Move along. Go back about your business. Amnesty would be good for America. Only looking for a better life for their families...

(sigh)

We need to round up all the illegals, send them back or imprison them, seal the border, and have an armed response to anyone who tries to cross illegally.

This guy was well known here.

In 20 years, he apprehended 25,000 illegals on his land.

In 20 years, he estimated 250,000 crossed his land.

Think the MSM will cover THIS?

Once obamalamdindong clears out Gitmo it will be a waste of a good prison to let it sit empty. I propose deporting ASAP any illegals not involved in a criminal activity and lets fill Gitmo with all the illegal gangbangers, thieves, rapists and murderers and let them rot there until their native country bails them out...or not

John McCain and Lindsay Graham-nesty. They are the biggest traitors and scum to ever inhabit, or is it infest, the GOP.

McCain called AMERICANS asking for the border to be protected - RACISTS. McCain-Feingold have us Dem control and ObamaCare.

For every one of the left and Obama’s “poor people - they don’t want you here because you’ll do the grunt jobs and you have brown skin” we need to shove one of these stories in their faces.

I suggest for an ANTI-amnesty rally, everyone carry a white cross bearing the name of an citizen of the United States that has been killed or maimed by an illegal alien.

Yes, it was. The assassin hiked 20 miles in, shot Rob Krentz, and hiked 20 miles back into Mexico. Word came down that his brother called in a drug smuggling effort the week before, so this is likely a cartel hit.

Not that America will ever be told that. This is an ‘isolated incident’.

The reason the borders aren’t secured and illegal aliens deported, is the same reason our country is headed like a freight train over the cliff of economic ruin. It’s also the same reason our inner cities are lunar landscapes of drug trafficking and homicide, and no one ever seems to be prosecuted for crimes involving nation security or the well being of our nation except for a few sacrificial lambs in the military doing their jobs. And that’s because the country has been completely taken over by leftist and globalist criminals who want the US to vanish as a sovereign nation, the sooner the better. Ask yourself why Sheriff Arpaio is hounded like a child molester by prosecutors and the media, while the skunk striped bull dyke Janet Napolitano rose to the top like solids at a waste treatment facility. It’s all this way because they want it this way. And it didn’t start with Obama. Been in the works for some time.

Now, that makes sense! We need to do something to show this tragedy.

We need to put them to work building a 20-ft high wall from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico. They came here to work, right? Let them work.

I would certainly want to hunt him down but how would you find him? They all look alike, dress alike, have no identity, no home and their comrades are not going to know anything. That rancher might as well have been killed by a pack of wolves. You actually might have an easier time tracking down the wolves.
