Death in the Desert

by Rick Oltman on Tue Mar 30, 2010 11:50 am

Arizona rancher Rob Krentz was murdered on his ranch Saturday, 20 miles from the Mexican border. Rob Krentz is only the latest victim of the federal government’s willful refusal to secure our border. That's right, refusal to secure the border.This kind of violence comes as no surprise to those who live in that remote corner of Arizona, in fact all along the 2300 mile line.I met Rob Krentz many years ago when I first started traveling Cochise County to help the ranchers get media coverage for the porous border. As I recall he seemed like most of the other people in that part of America. An honest, humble, hard working, patriotic American who knew there was a border problem and expected that once the federal government knew how bad it really was…it would be fixed.

We all thought that, years ago. Now we know this government, and the previous administration and the one before that don’t want the border closed, they want it open so that business can have nearly unfettered access to millions of cheap workers, and equally important, the new consumers they become. Unfortunately for Rob Krentz and others the lack of enforcement and resulting open border means that drug traffickers, kidnappers and killers can also come into our country. Does any adult actually think that the horrific violence and devaluation of human life that we hear about south of the border actually stays there and doesn’t cross over into our country?

Those monitoring the radio Saturday night heard that a helicopter spotted the killers and watched them move back into Mexico. Now, this is just speculation on my part, but I expect the perpetrator(s) to be caught by the Mexicans and turned over to American law enforcement...not alive of course. What do I mean? First of all, the Mexican cartels are furious at this killing and the media coverage it is getting.

That open border is worth over $20 billion a year in remesas (remittances) to the Mexican economy. And how much drug money? Probably more than that. Anything, that brings attention to the border and results in Americans demanding more border security directly impacts their pocketbooks, and they need to get this off the front page...immediately. I would guess that the Mexican government and drug cartels (sorry, I know that sounds redundant to some of you) and all the other corrupt institutions in Mexico have probably put a bounty out on these guys. Something simple like; Wanted, Dead.

They will turn over the corpses to our guys trying to kill two birds with one stone; 1. Ending the media coverage and, 2. Sending a message to other border crossing criminals not to do something so stupid that focuses the American's attention on the border. Just do your illegal business, smuggling of drugs, illegals, other contraband, but DO NOT draw attention to the virtual lack of enforcement on that border. That is not smart business.BTW, the unofficial motto for one BP Station on the line is; "Destined for Failure."Rob Krentz was a multi-generational American whose family helped build this country and I couldn't help but think when I heard of his murder, that this was the Old America being killed by the New America. Hope I'm wrong...
