With the news breaking that Obama has called for an increase of National Guard troops to be stationed near the Mexican American boarder by 1,200 men, I want to make sure everyone does not become less vigilant on what needs to be done to fix the current illegal immigration problem that America is facing. There are many aspects to the illegal alien troubles that we are confronted with today. I told you about the "Rape Trees" in the Sonoran Desert, and even shared a video news reported about them. Then I shared with you the disturbing pictures of the ecological disaster the illegals are wrecking upon the once beautiful Sonoran Desert. I have a few other angles that I am looking at the illegal immigrant problems, but today I would like to share with you the problems this illegal activity has caused the many ranchers who own property near the Mexican American border.
While the rest of the country listens to the debate about how to deal with the illegal immigration problem in America, the ranchers who live along our Southern border with Mexico have been left to fend for themselves for years. As recently as March of this year, rancher Rob Krentz and his dog were found shot to death on his ranch near one of his cattle watering holes. Even if the liberal MSM does not care about the rancher, I wonder why them and groups like PETA never made a big stink over the murdered dog. After all, even a prominent African American was crucified by the left for his mistreatment of dogs.
Among the many crimes of the illegals that the ranchers dealing with on a daily basis, is the breaking and entering of their homes, barns, and other buildings, along with the theft of their personal vehicles and farming equipment. The loss of cattle, due to cattle rustling and because the cattle don't like people walking through, they will move to much and suffer weight loss. Then there is the destruction of fences, breaking of water pipelines. The water pipes get broken in two and it can be two or three days before they are discovered so all that precious water is being wasted.
Every American has a right to protect.....

Looks like I was wrong - the article is linked right below my ping.
It was Casey Nethercott’s ranch.
They’re both travesties of justice.
They were ahead of their time. This was happening while McCain and company were calling them nutjobs and vigilantes etc. They tarred these people pretty bad for defending their homes.
