There has been a great deal of misunderstanding about this - thanks to 'shoddy' reporting by the media. Rancher Robert Krentz was in NO way sympathetic to the illegals streaming across the border and trespassing on his land. He had suffered severe monetary loss because of this - as well as a loss of a sense of security for self and family. Otherwise he would not have been out late in his ATV, with his walker in the back - which he needed for mobility due to 2 recent surgeries.
In one interview a year or so ago, he mentioned that - despite the break-INS, robberies, trespassing, polluting, and other problems - he still provided water to those suffering that he found. He also called the authorities.
Mr. Krentz was the brother-in-law of a co-worker who has been devastated by his death, the circumstances suurounding it, those on the left and right trying to advance their agendas in light of the killing, and the current lack of action due to the '15 minute time limit' being expired.
His humanity did not make him an 'open borders' advocate. He knew full-well the costs of said policy - up close and personal.
