How can this happen

There has long been a problem in this Country with illegal immigration. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against immigration. It is what has made this Country great. However, illegal immigration is a major factor in our destruction. We have laws that establish the proper way to come to this Country to live or work. Just like every other country on the planet. And while this process may not be perfect, it is the law of the land.

And what do we do with people who break the law?



So how can this happen in these United States of America?

A rancher, who is a former county sheriff's deputy, and a CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES is being sued by 16 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS because he scared them when they were TRESPASSING on HIS LAND.

Roger Barnett has a 22,000 acre ranch in Arizona. When the border patrol started cracking down illegals in border towns, the ILLEGALS started using Barnett's ranch as their super-highway and caused all kinds of problems. They destroyed water pumps and storage tanks. Barnett put in a water spigot on an 8,000 gallon water tank to try and halt the destruction of his pumps. There was garbage 10 INCHES DEEP along the trails, the trespassers killed calves and cattle died after ingesting their garbage. The criminals destroyed fences, stole trucks, and BROKE INTO BARNETT'S HOME!!!!!! Finally, he had had enough. Roger Barnett invested $30,000 in motion sensors and would patrol his OWN PROPERTY for these criminals.

The lawsuit stems from a 2004 incident where Barnett found a group of criminals on his property and confronted them while he had armed himself with a pistol for personal protection and also had his dog with him. When he found these law-breakers, Barnett alerted his family and the Border Patrol.

According the lawsuit, Barnett claims to have turned over more than 12,000 criminals to the Border Patrol. TWELVE FREAKING THOUSAND CRIMINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy should be given a Presidential Commendation, not be stuck in a baseless court battle. I wonder how many law-enforcement officers can lay claim to 12,000 criminals in 10 years (and that is not a slam against any of our fine law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day).


Roger Barnett is a National Hero and should treated as such. And the criminals must be prosecuted.
