Although this paper was written back in 1996, I find its vision uncanny. To note that this paper was not written in the United States nor Europe or Canada, but in South Africa. J.J. Britz brings together the concept of privacy as it relates to ethics, confidentiality, socio-economical effects, and autonomy. Well written and researched.

immigration law personal+freedoms killing Robert Krentz

shared by Elizabeth Brzezinski on 05 Jun 12 - Cached

Robert N. Krentz Jr., 58, the scion of one of the best-known and oldest ranching families here in southeast Arizona, was found shot to death March 27 on his vast, remote ranch north of here after radioing to his brother that he was aiding someone he believed to be an illegal immigrant. Mr. Krentz went missing shortly after that call, and the police found his body several hours later in his all-terrain vehicle, his guns untouched in the back, his dog shot and critically wounded. Fresh footprints led from the scene to the Mexican border 20 miles away. Given Mr. Krentz’s radio transmission, the footprints and heavy drug and illegal immigrant trafficking in that area, investigators are working on the assumption that he encountered a smuggler, possibly heading back to Mexico.

This NY Times article looks into the murder of Robert Krentz, the Arizona farmer, who was shot to death in Cochise County. Clues led to the possibility that it may have been an illegal alien who shot and killed Mr. Krentz. This event occurred during the heated debate as to whether Arizona's new immigration law, requiring documentation of legal status in the United States, should go into effect.

Both liberal and conservative groups alike have criticized the U.S. Patriot Act, passed in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, because they say it violates probable cause and due process rights protected by the Constitution of the United States. The Patriot Act significantly expanded the power of U.S.

The shooting which occurred in December which left 20 children and six educators dead at the hands of a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT has caused the issue of gun control as well as the issue of mental health to be looked at more closely. The President of the United States, Barack Obama chose to issue a proposal for stricter gun control measures, due to this. Walker, as well as several other Republicans agree that the main focus should be on the issue of providing mental health services to those in need prior to violent events taking place.
