Several hundred ranchers gathered at a small-town high school in the
Bootheel on Thursday to rally against what they described as a broken
border.
Also present were members and representatives of New Mexico’s
congressional delegation and officials from public security agencies,
including the Border Patrol, Army, National Guard and sheriffs. More
than 600 people showed up at a school auditorium in Animas, population
237.
Ranchers here have been steaming over the reported kidnapping of a
ranch hand in December, when drug runners allegedly hijacked the man’s
vehicle, loaded it with narcotics and drove him to Arizona. He came home
“roughed up,” his employer Tricia Elbrock said, but he survived the
ordeal.
Concerns about border security have simmered for years for those who
live among the region’s sprawling ranches and rugged mountain ranges.
Sometimes, fears boil over, such as after the unsolved 2010 murder of
southern Arizona rancher Robert Krentz, who was found shot dead on his
property, or after the recent reported kidnapping.
“How many here think your border is secure?” Elbrock asked to laughs.
“I say to all our representatives, come down here. Stay with us. Work
with us.”
Someone in the crowd shouted, “Walk the border!”

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
