they face threats and violence and many, like brian terry, had been killed because of gang violence or drug cartels. not only do our border patrol agents face danger, but rangers face daily encounters of drug smugglers and illegal border crossers. robert krantz from arizona, a rancher, was killed in 2010. his family expressed frustration with the federal government, stating -- quote -- "the disregard of our repeated pleas and warnings of impending violence toward our community fell on deaf ears, shrouded in political correctness. as a result, we have paid the ultimate price for their intelligence or their negligence, incredentially securing our border lands -- credibly securing our border lands." no one can fault someone for having to improve their lot in light. husbands and wives cross the border to make a better life for them and their family. people yearn to be free and to make a life full of liberty and happiness. but people who cross the border illegally risk their own lives. they spend days walking through desert. they fall prey to smugglers and become victims of rape and abu abu
