In my last book DEADLY RISK: AMERICAN CATTLE RANCHING ON THE MEXICAN BORDER AND OTHER TRUE CATTLE RANCHING STORIES he was presented with specific questions put together by a representative group of border ranchers from Arizona. I asked the ranchers to put together question to direct to the Congressionally appointed "Gang of 8" that was supposed to be working to solve the border crisis of immigrants, dead bodies, drug trafficking flooding onto their ranches. Mexican cartel "coyotes" (paid some $3,000.00 by escaping families) have left half living carcasses and bodies on border ranchers of those Mexicans struggling to escape their own country's oppression led by the brutal Mexican Cartel..
When Rod Krentz was found murdered on his Douglas, Arizona ranch when he told his brother checking their water line that he was going to help an immigant he thought was in trouble, a Gang of 8 was appointed to create a plan to deter these problems on the border. Rob Krentz was a prominent Southwestern rancher and thus his murder received special national attention.
Professional trackers found footprints leading from Krentz's body back across the Mexican border. The murderer was never found.
I spoke to Sue Krentz for several hours at the National Beef Association Convention in Tampa who told me the gruesome story and those of other ranchers along the border. I said I was writing a new book and I would help by sending off questions that had not been answered to legislative officials on this Gang of 8.
Senator Marco Rubio, Florida, Jeff Flake, Arizona and Senator John McCain were contacted with the border rancher questions. In the book referenced above, their documented responses are published.
