In Wake of Rancher’s Murder, House Republicans Introduce Border Security Bill

Following the murder of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz (See FAIR’s Legislative Update, April 5, 2010), Republicans on the House Natural Resources, Homeland Security, and Judiciary Committees have introduced legislation that will prohibit the Departments of the Interior (DOI) and Agriculture from hindering the Border Patrol from securing the border on federal lands. (Press Release, April 14, 2010). The bill’s introduction comes as reports have revealed that the individual who allegedly murdered Krentz “both entered and exited the U.S. through federal land on the San Bernardino Wildlife Refuge.” (Press Release, April 14, 2010).
