Arizona rancher’s slaying spurs calls for more border aid

The apparent slaying of a prominent Arizona rancher on his property near the Mexican border has inflamed tensions over illegal immigration and intensified calls for the federal government to ramp up protection along the increasingly perilous southern border.

Robert Krentz, 58, was found fatally shot Saturday. A helicopter crew with the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office discovered his body inside his Polaris all-terrain vehicle along with his dog, which also had been shot and critically wounded. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/30/arizona-ranchers-slaying-spurs-call-for-border-aid/By Valerie Richardson — Washington Times
