Man arrested in connection with disappearance of Mollie Tibbetts, authorities say

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T




(CNN)An undocumented immigrant has been charged with first-degree murder in the presumed death of Mollie Tibbetts, an Iowa college student who went missing on July 18, officials said Tuesday.


The body that officials believe is that of Tibbetts, 20, was found Tuesday, said Rick Rahn, special agent in charge at the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation. An autopsy is planned for Wednesday.

Authorities said surveillance video helped them determine a suspect. He led them to a cornfield where the woman's remains were found.

The suspect, Christian Rivera, 24, is an undocumented immigrant who authorities believe has been in the area for four to seven years, Rahn said.





He said the suspect followed Tibbetts on July 18 and then abducted her.



The autopsy will determine when Tibbetts died and how.

Rahn said Tibbetts' digital footprint, which included data from a fitness tracker known as a Fitbit, played a role in solving the case.

Tibbetts' father, Rob Tibbetts, when reached earlier Tuesday, had no comment.

Mollie Tibbetts, a University of Iowa student, was   last seen jogging   on July 18 in the small community of Brooklyn, Iowa, about an hour east of Des Moines, according to the Poweshiek County Sheriff's Office.

Before she went missing, Tibbetts' brother dropped her off at her boyfriend's house so she could dog-sit, HLN reported. Her family reported her missing after she did not show up for work the next day.









Investigators launched an extensive search for Tibbetts across the area, including in ponds, fields and from the air.

Rahn said last week that authorities had received more than 1,500 tips and conducted more than 500 interviews in the case.

Tibbetts was studying psychology and wanted to get a doctorate and write books, her father said.

You beat me to it.  You know if it had been a white guy even remotely associated with the republicans itthey would have been blasting it from every social media outlet they had.

mollie tibbetts.... another acceptable loss to "some" of the democrats platforms of open borders.  Putting foreign nationals before citizens.  If we were unified enforcing our national sovereignty this death may have been prevented... however with sanctuary cities and other hinderances to our law enforcement officials this animal was able to skate by up to seven years to AT LEAST murder her.  

If it had been with a gun they would have focused on that alone.

a govt is formed to represent and protect its citizens... not foreign nationals.  However some only seem to be concerned with the prospect of future votes and "haha white people are mad!"

when this country collapses due to unchecked illegal (not undocumented) immigration....  make sure you remember all those with "I'm with her" signs in their yard....

So, the question would be, if this guy, here illegally, used a sanctuary city to stay illegally, would the leadership of that city be criminally or civily liable as an accessory to murder, as they enabled htis individual to violate federal law?

I've brought that up in another story.  I don't know how someone hasn't sued a city that declares itself a sanctuary city when an illegal kills someone.  Seems pretty clear cut that the city should be held responsible for aiding and abetting criminals

Well quite a few call for open borders.  Have you not seen the big push for it?  Hell Ellison wore a shirt that said "I don't believe in borders" or something to that effect.  And he was what?  2nd in command of the DNC?

Besides.  Actions speak louder.  How can you say democrats generally (large majority) don't want open borders when you

1) Refuse to deport dreamers

2) refuse to deport their parents

3) refuse to deport the illegals who come here and have an anchor baby

4) actively warn illegals of ice raids

5) create sanctuary cities to protect ALL illegals

6) create policies and prevent expedited immigration trials that cause "catch and release" where the illegal is supposed to come back in 3-5 years for trial but never do.  So when they are caught they have been in the US for 10-20 years in which case you again say they shouldn't be deported because thy lived here too long

So HOW are democrats not for open borders?  Who is allowed to be deported according to democrats?  Pretty much only illegals that have committed murder.  That's it.  That's the only people they seem ok with.  So if you have a policy of promoting illegal immigration unless you end up committing a murder (not even always actually) .. that is an open border policy.  

So who should be deported?

So that means we were right to interpret Melania's "I don't care, do you?" designer jacket when she visited the ICE concentration camps for children that she was telling us that she didn't give a shit about those kids.

Deport dreamers:

Let's say that you were born in Poland. Your parents brought you here when you were only 3 years old. They never sought legal citizenship, therefore you and they are illegal immigrants.

Jump ahead 20 years and ICE wants to deport you back to Poland. You've lived here practically your whole life, you can't even speak Polish, you know nothing about Poland, its people or culture. But guess what, SH, that's just too fucking bad. You ain't one of us and now you gotta git.

Seem fair?

That's really about the only thing on your list that I have a disagreement with. I don't like sanctuary cities, I ain't crazy about anchor babies (if that's really a thing), and I do think criminals should be deported.

Is it fair someone spends the time and money to immigrate legally and someone else illegal gets to just hide out for a few years and be in the clear?  Because what you are advocating is a big game of "safe tag" where an illegal just needs to hide out with their kids long enough where now it's "unfair" to deport them and their parents.  How much do you think sanctuary cities and other democrat practices help that?  How many groups are actively protecting illegals with free legal help etc?  How much does that help?  

Is it fair a citizen now has to compete with a job for someone who wasn't even supposed to be here?  Driving wages down as well?  A govt is beholden to its citizens... not foreign nationals.  When a govt stops representin  their citizens that govt is null and void

And anchor baby is a thing.  Plenty of examples of them having a kid ... then when they get caught what do (most) democrats say?  "Wel you can't deport the mom and dad now!  That's breaking up families!"

i wont say it's ALL Dems.   You show that when you say you you're against most of the things I said.  HOWEVER... there is no way you can deny that there is a large majority who promote and do the exact same things I listed.  You had democrat politicians warning illegals in their cities that an ice raid was coming.  Then anyone against illegal immigration gets accused of being racist as an additional way to quiet anyone against open borders.

There's a whole lotta BS in the following points but I'll make them as brief as I can.

1) Refuse to deport dreamers

Fact:  Despite mouthing that he wanted to keep the promise to the Dreamers from both political parties and leaders that a path for citizenship would be created, he has sabotaged the entire process.

2) refuse to deport their parents

In fact, Obama--who still holds the record for the number of deportations of all--is the one who refused to give special protection for parents of Dreamers.  But, of course, you'd never know that.  It's so much easier to make shit up, right:

3) refuse to deport the illegals who come here and have an anchor baby

Here's a full debunking of all the rightwing hysterical "anchor baby" bullshit:

wp/2015/08/20/the-myth-of-the-anchor-baby-deportation-defense/

4) actively warn illegals of ice raids

A one-off action of one mayor.  That is not endorsed or supported in any way by the Democratic party.  That would be like me blaming the entire Republican party all the Nazi demonstrations--or would that be okay with you? 

5) create sanctuary cities to protect ALL illegals

The purpose of the sanctuary cities is mainly a crime prevention issue and local police departments are all for it because they need the cooperation of the LEGAL immigrant communities when crimes occur there.  ICE has been an obstacle to those efforts in two ways.  One: it often shirks off responsibilities for incarcerating illegal immigrants to county and city police, thus emburdening those departments financially and for staffing.  Two: ICE is notorious for fucking up the processing of those captured illegals, ignoring the calls from those local departments to pick up the people they've arrested.  Two: ICE intimidation and harassment of legal immigrant citizens -- and even natural born citizens who "look foreign" has been documented so often that those communities that may  already bes suspicious of LE and now even reluctant to come forward to report crimes in their neighborhoods.  

6) create policies and prevent expedited immigration trials that cause "catch and release" where the illegal is supposed to come back in 3-5 years for trial but never do.

That has nothing to do with partisanship.  Those policies have been in place for decades under R and D administrations.  "President" Scumbag's claim that Democrats created "catch and release" got a polite 3 (out of 4) pinocchios:

Sounds copasteic until ya consider many Americans are fat, lazy, greedy and stupid but still believe they should have it all and aren't willing to pay the price with either their labor or their cash. That's were cheap labor and goods inter the picture, legally or not.

Simple as that

Not really. People will get whatever they want legal or ilegal. 

Marijuana is still federally illegal to this date but getting marijuana has never been a problem. 

Proabition repeated does not change the outcome. 

Legalization and regulation works better as a whole to contain the disadvantages of many things, including immigration when and where the rules and laws are followed. 

PS: Even when things are legal we usually still have an illegal elimet taking advantage of anything and everything they can. Thus all the laws and jails.

The worse part of all this is the reason the people come here to begin with, We could probably set up machine gun nests all along the border and shoot anything that moves and we'd still have people dying to come to America. 

Some other countries, some not even not too far away, really are shitholes to the point some people want out anyway possible and at all costs.

1) what does hat have to do with the fact democrats generally don't want to deport dreamers

2) obama holds the record on deportations after changing definitions.  They started including people turned away at the border as deportations.

and obama never tried to address the parents of dreamers because he DID try and it was smacked down by the courts.  He tried the program DAPA deferred action for parents of Americans --- that would have given legal status to parents of American citizens and those with legal status like dreamers... 

map that also hits on the anchor baby as well because

3) anchor baby is not a myth.  While it does not currently grant you legal status... it has been used to grant a cancellation of removal order.  Where they get a green card.  This is not a myth.  They hide out and CAN get a green card at a minimum. 

4) it is not a one off.  I can think of at least two times it happened

The Oakland incident.  Notice CNN calls the action righteous.  So more Dems supported it.  

The Massachusetts incident

More pro illegal immigration people with systems to warn of ice raids

along with all the other instances of many protests at ice facilities and protests of ice officials detaining people to be deported.  Recent example of the illegal detained "driving his wife to the hospital to give birth" that the MSM conveniently left out that he was wanted for murder.  

5) that's the lie told to avoid admitting the truth

"I want to make very clear, we are going to stay a sanctuary city. We welcome, just as in the spirit of what Cardinal (Blase) Cupich talked about, 'There is no stranger among us,'" Emanuel said.

Democrats of sanctuary cities have made it very clear they are trying to prevent anyone from being deported.  "We are all citizens of earth" and BS like that.  Plenty of quotes you can google that show it's about keeping anyone from being deported.  

6) democrats blocked Paul Ryan's amnesty bill.  It would have given amnesty to dreamers while havin much needed immigration reform that would have increased the number of judges doing immigration cases and expedited the trials.    

Why did they do this?  Because they said trump could stop dreamers etc from being deported.  They have no interest in improving or borders because they want them open.  

Democrats generally can claim to be against open borders... but the sum of your actions shows the policy is generally come one come all.  They fight deportations of anyone at every corner.  On top of that... they promote things like in state tuition for illegals, drivers licenses for illegals, and now they push for local voting rights for illegals.  Yea... sounds like Dems really are against illegal immigration :/  I'm hearing quacking ... it's a duck.

More disdain for your fellow citizens.  You realize if companies weren't paying minimum wage to illegals they would be forced to pay citizens hire wages to get employees. 

Then IF they can't get enough people our immigration policies should allow them to petition for foreign workers.  

Besides being racist assuming illegal aliens are only good enough to pick fruit and work in slaughterhouses....

an example would be tech companies abusing H1 visas to bring in workers so they don't have to pay Americans higher wages.  

BUT yes.. that is an issue that needs to be addressed.  It only encourages more illegal immigration.  I do my best to combat it by reporting companies that I know are hiring a large illegal population.  They should reward citizens who report the companies like crime stoppers.  

If we can stop the companies and democrat areas from giving them in state tuition rates, drivers licenses, and local voting rights we may be able to discourage illegal immigration...  which I assume anyone who says they aren't open borders would support

jobs like picking fruit

are very rarely done by illegal immigrants.  In fact, there are an unlimited number of visas available to farmers to hire legal immigrants.  

According to the Pew Research Center, an estimated 11.1 million illegal immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2014.  Somewhat surprisingly, only a small portion of those 11 million work as farm labor.  According to the latest Farm Labor Survey, the number of hired and contract farm workers ranges from about 800,000 in winter to 1.1 million in the summer. The portion of hired farm workers who are not legally authorized to work in the U.S. fluctuates around 50%, according to the USDA Economic Research Service. The other half comprises legal U.S. citizens (33%) and green card holders. Do all the math, and we’re running somewhere around 500,000 illegal U.S. farm workers, out of a total U.S. population of 327 million. That’s only 0.15% of the population, and there are many millions of people not working. 

According to a 2015 USDA report, average hourly farm worker pay was $12.27, which is above minimum wage, but well below the average hourly pay of $21.80. Motivating legal citizens with more pay may be one of the solutions. It could be difficult to get U.S. citizens to pick avocados for $12 an hour, but there is a number that will motivate them. 

The last solution is increased mechanization, which has been under way for over 100 years.  (Did you know there are now strawberry picking robots?)

Robotics may be the answer to farm labor shortages in the near future.  There are already systems being used to milk cows that are completely automated.   

Robotic or automatic milking systems (AMS) have steadily increased in popularity in the dairy industry since the installation of the first commercial unit in 1992 in the Netherlands. In 2015, the number of AMS units installed was over 25,000 worldwide.

Robots have been seen as the “new and improved” way to milk cows because they may provide opportunities to decreased the labor pool and allow producers to spend more time on animal care. In a survey of 10 United States dairies and 15 Canadian dairies who had installed an AMS, 70% of the farms reported a decrease in hired labor costs. Some other opportunities that may come with installing an AMS include the system providing information to the producer including individual cow milk production, milking frequency, rumination and movement activity, concentrate intake, health alerts, and much more. This information could in turn, help the producer make more informed herd management decisions. Because cows can be fed a concentrate supplement when visiting the AMS there is also opportunity to feed individual cows closer to their nutrient requirements within their stage of lactation. This could decrease overfeeding nutrients to cows, therefore increasing feed efficiency, milk production, and economic returns.

I left the dairy when I was 17 and swore I would never ever be that close to another milk cow.  In hindsight, being tied to a dairy 7 days a week was far easier than putting up with a lot of people in the corporate world.  On the farm, it is possible to cull and sell the troublemakers.  In the corporate world, the troublemakers are often rewarded and promoted.

For about 3 years, my dad owned half a dairy farm. Dairy farming is very different from crop farming. The cows have to be milked twice a day every day, including Sundays and holidays. We used to have to wait on Christmas morning for Dad to get back from the barn because nobody but him ever showed up for work, even his partner.

Yes, if we stop giving able-bodied people a way to live without working

Well, since the people in rural areas aren't lining up for these jobs so forcing all of them (mostly white users of the welfare system) would have to be the first move.  But if that doesn't work, would you be in favor of forcefully moving the ones in the cities onto the farms to work?

Here ya go....Pocahontas Warren on the death of this young yoman by an illegal:

“I’m so sorry for the family here, and I know this is hard, not only for the family, but for the people in her community, the people throughout Iowa,” Warren told CNN’s John Berman. “But one of the things we have to remember is: We need an immigration system that is effective. That focuses on where real problems are.”

Berman tried to help her but she continued - Berman askied the senator specifically to respond to President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence claiming the Tibbetts murder is proof of the need for stronger immigration enforcement and she continued:

 "Uh, last month, I went down to the border, and I saw where children had been taken away from their mothers. I met with those mothers, who had been lied to, who didn’t know where their children were, who hadn’t had a chance to talk to their children. And there was no plan for how they’d be reunified with their children."

My comment was about the 1/10th Pocahontas Warren incredibly insensitive remarks about the death of this young woman...and her highlighting the "real problem" (according to her own statement yesterday) is about "cage after cage after cage" along the border of people who have come over here ILLEGALLY.

"There were a total of 17,250 reported murder and non-negligent manslaughter cases in the U.S. in 2016."

Theoretically, all murders are preventable. This killers immigration status had nothing to do with his murderous intent so I'm not sure why the right thinks this is such a boon for them. I could almost feel the FOX News pundits beam with joy when they learned the likely culprit was possibly an undocumented immigrant. Sure, they ignore how with stalking murders, the far more likely culprits are natural born American citizens.

"The National Organization for Women, for example, cited federal statistics from 2005 that show, on average, about 3.2 women were killed per day by an intimate partner in the United States."

Why don't we focus on the 3 women a day killed by an intimate partner/spouse who is almost certainly a legal resident? Because that would be inconvenient for the right wings desired narrative, right? That's not the story they want to sell, they don't actually care about the victims, they care about partisan politics. Sad.

This individual has worked at our farms for four years, was vetted through the government's E-Verify system

If that statement is true, it would seem that he was here with permission from our government. I don't know what the solution is, should we not allow anyone to hire people our government gave permission to be here? Stronger vetting? what is the answer?

As far as I know, no one WANTS to be arrested, we ALL have strong interests in not getting arrested.

There's a big difference between being punished for a crime and being punished and then deported.   That difference likely explains why immigrants have a dramatically lower rate of criminality, particularly of violent crime.    Or it could simply be that immigrants are superior humans in comparison to Americans.

But the social-science research on immigration and crime is clear: Undocumented immigrants are considerably less likely to commit crime than native-born citizens, with immigrants legally in the United States even less likely to do so. A number of studies published in the past several months clearly illustrate the consensus.

The first study, published by the libertarian Cato Institute in February , examines criminal conviction data for 2015 provided by the Texas Department of Public Safety. It found that native-born residents were much more likely to be convicted of a crime than immigrants in the country legally or illegally.

"As a percentage of their respective populations, there were 56 percent fewer criminal convictions of illegal immigrants than of native-born Americans in Texas in 2015," author Alex Nowrasteh writes. "The criminal conviction rate for legal immigrants was about 85 percent below the native-born rate."

The data shows similar patterns for violent crimes such as homicide and property crimes such as larceny. The study did find that immigrants in the United States illegally were more likely than native-born people to be convicted of "gambling, kidnapping, smuggling, and vagrancy." But as those crimes represented just 0.18 percent of all convictions in Texas that year, they had little effect on overall crime rates.

What I am saying is that ANY crimes by illegal aliens should never happen because they shouldn't even BE here. I am not excusing any crimes committed by anyone else.

What I'm saying is that discussions about horrible crimes committed by immigrants are not merely pandering to the worst instincts of conservatives with hyperactive amygdalas but they're also completely irrational based on the hard data.

And given that immigrants are people it would also be irrational to expect that no crimes whatsoever would be committed by that demographic.    People of all kinds commit crimes but immigrants are just far less likely to commit them than native-born Americans.

Once again, you are talking of immigrants, while everyone else is talking about illegal immigration. I really don't understand what is so darn hard about understanding that illegal aliens should not be here at all to even be able to commit ANY crimes. Or why it wouldn't be of concern to any American.

The data I cited clearly distinguishes between documented and undocumented immigrants, and it shows that the crime rates of both groups are much lower than that for native-born Americans.    So the statement I made at 11.1 is correct:  both documented and undocumented immigrants have a lower crime rate than the general population since they have a strong interest in not being arrested.    So it's not clear why conservatives freak out about undocumented immigrants......in general you're far safer with them than you are with the average American or with a psycho like Trump.

But if it is our power to stop illegal aliens, why wouldn't we do that? Do we not want to make ourselves safer?

As the data show that's a bogus argument since undocumented immigrants are much less likely to be criminals than the average American.

While I do agree that the US has an interest in regulating immigration and enforcing its laws, those immigration laws must be enforced sanely and humanely - something which Trump hasn't done at all.    Part of that sanity also has to be a dispassionate recognition and analysis of the role which undocumented workers play in the farming and service economies.   Again that's something which Trump hasn't done and which reactionary conservatives in general are incapable of doing.

Some day you may learn the difference between concern about immigration and race.

I agree there's a slight difference between racism and irrational xenophobia, although the two seem closely intertwined in the GOP.

By the way it's great to see Republicans like Newt Gingrich openly admit that the murder of Tibbetts by an undocumented worker helps the GOP's election chances.    Gingrich understands that it can be used to pander to the racist and xenophobic GOP base.

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich emailed Axios’ Mike Allen to make sure that we’d be covering this story, which Fox News led with on air and online Tuesday evening, ahead of the Cohen-Manafort news.

His take: “If Mollie Tibbetts is a household name by October, Democrats will be in deep trouble. If we can be blocked by Manafort-Cohen, etc., then GOP could lose [the House] badly.”

First it is ILLEGAL ALIEN.  This is the term used in Federal law to describe someone who entered the country ILLEGALLY.    Just so you know, entering the country ILLEGALLY is a CRIME.  (regardless of the fact that many political criminals encourage it and break the law regularly with sanctuary cities)

So, If EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN was not guilty of a crime they wouldn't BE ILLEGAL ALIENS in the first place.   Don't you mean less likely to commit ANOTHER CRIME?  ..and never mind they are continuously committing a crime by STAYING here illegally, right?

Or are ID cards just useless?

They are becoming that way in states that haven't yet complied with the RealID act of 2005.

As a citizen of Missouri, I had to present a copy of my birth certificate in order to renew my driver's license in 2012, but it was not scanned into a database so I do not have an acceptable state ID to fly domestically before the end of this year.

In the near future, I am wondering if a government issued biometric card will be required in order to work in the US.

Yet another aspect of airport security is being tightened now.

Starting Monday, in order to board domestic flights using a driver’s license, all Americans must have a license that meets new, higher security standards.

A law called   the Real ID Act   now requires all states and U.S. territories to adhere to stricter security measures for issuing state licenses (the law was passed by Congress in 2005   in an effort to strengthen national security ).

While all states are now either in compliance or were given an extension, it is probably a good idea to bring your passport with you when you fly to avoid any issues at the airport. All state licenses are still valid for driving and voting even if they are not yet up to date with the new regulations.

If you live in a state that is already in compliance with the law, you can still use your current license to board domestic flights. Those states include:

....

And if you live in a state that is not yet compliant with the law, but was approved for an extension from the government, you can still use your current license. But you will need to order a new license before Oct. 10, 2020 if you want to use the ID to fly. These are the states that were granted an extension:

  • Alaska
  • American Samoa   (ext. still under review)
  • California
  • Guam
  • Idaho
  • Illinois
  • Kentucky
  • Louisiana
  • Maine
  • Massachusetts
  • Michigan
  • Minnesota
  • Missouri
  • Montana
  • New Hampshire

  • New York
  • North Dakota
  • Northern Mariana Islands
  • Oklahoma
  • Oregon
  • Pennsylvania
  • Puerto Rico
  • South Carolina
  • Virgin Islands
  • Virginia
  • Washington
If you still don’t have a new license by 2020, you can use   another form of acceptable identification , like your passport, to fly domestically.

I had the hardest time getting my military ID updated a few months ago. When I broke my ankle, I stopped dropping Mr off in the morning on base, therefore, I missed noting when my ID expired. I couldn't get a new ID without a passport, birth certificate, voter registration card, or a social security card. They would not accept my driver's license because Arkansas now has the enhanced driver's license thingy (which they failed to tell me about when I renewed last year).

Anyway, got the military ID which is good because I won't be able to board a plane without it or my passport. My DL won't cut it

Better would have been if this POS ILLEGAL ALIEN hadn't murdered a beautiful, innocent AMERICAN CITIZEN.

again, funny how she is all these things and yet.....this POS told the truth and even showed them to where he dumped her. But yet rich white kid and white guys from Colorado dont. 

do you get it. there are enough families across this country that have loved ones that they dont know where they are and your fellow POS american citizens who have been convicted of murder, take the information to the grave. 

thus again its sad for her and the family but for fucks sake man, at least they can bury her and that because he DECIDED to share that information, not play the lawyer game or the keep it to myself and draw it out over a long court proceeding. so yes i can give that POS a bit of respect.

Yes, Stefani Flores I believe is/was her name. He strangled her apparently because she found out about the stuff that happened in Aruba. I could be wrong on this, but I believe he will only serve about 25 years in Peru. I also heard a story about him scamming a US woman out of thousands of dollars (not Natalies mom).

He tried to come across as just a rich frat boy but apparently he's a real psycho.    I'd be surprised if he survives prison - his fellow inmates have already tried to stab him to death.

well here we go with YOUR TYPE of folks that know what it means but want to do sentence structure is not correct, boohoo. To me it is a .....................petty ass way to dismiss the facts.

Again it was pointed out, that because the GOP platform has been actively  sucked into screaming from the heavens about the illegal immigration problem due to president trumps hissy fits over it, then this type of high profile situation arises.  Well then they (supporters of the GOP ) have to own it. Not act like it doesn't matter because the sentence structure is not correct. SMH 

And now there is a situation where the Press release of this guy being E-verified appear to have NOT happened.

But Yarrabee Farms, which is owned by Craig Lang, a prominent member of the Republican Party in Iowa, said in a statement: “This individual has worked at our farms for four years, was vetted through the government’s E-Verify system, and was an employee in good standing.” E-Verify is an online system run by the government for employers to check the eligibility of its workers. It’s unclear how Rivera could have passed the system—he’s an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and a detainer warrant was issued for him Tuesday.

so this might be a FOLLOW the money situation. meaning there may end up being some funny money being passed around and I wont be surprised if there is a follow up on other so called legal hiring processed employees. 

The Mexican national accused of murdering college student Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa last month lived in the United States illegally for several years -- and worked for a farm that used Social Security Administration data in part to vet potential employees, according to officials there.

However, Yarrabee Farms co-owner and manager Dane Lang clarified Wednesday afternoon that the farm did not use a federal E-Verify check on suspect Cristhian Rivera, despite the company's claim earlier in the day that it did.

Lang said Rivera provided a state-issued photo identification and social security card. “We learned that our employee was not who he said he is.”

well its too bad she is dead. Your sympathy is noted.

not sure what the issue with this statement is. Because there were alot of people who were like me, holding out hope, she would be found alive.

So, an illegal lien presented passable documents, including a Social Security card, and now it is the employers' fault he lied to them

yes!

Gee, I wonder which state issued an illegal alien an ID, and WHY did they do so?

good question , i look forward to your report on it. 

There is NO reason an illegal alien needs to be issued ANY state-issued ID, EVER.

And there it is, the problem has many facets to it.

You really should see a doctor about that.  But to respond to your ridiculous comment--if employers are never to be held responsible for hiring the wrong people then the problem will never be solved because it's in the interest of the employer NOT to be skeptical or suspicious and just get a quick approval.  Which brings us to the next level of system failure--the fake ID.  Apparently IDs are that hard to fake which pretty much undercuts the general rightwing claim that IDs can solve everything -- and I'm talking about alleged (but non-existent) voting fraud now. And the final failing point was DHS which wasn't able to detect that this was a fake.  So with both private and public sector incompetence like this--which you have no interest in holding accountable.  And now to the hypocrisy of that last point:  indifference to incompetence and failure when it's your side doing it while demanding perfection from everyone else.

No, it's never the fault of people the rightwing approve of--in this case a farmer using illegals which illustrates both how dependent the whole agricultural system is on foreign workers (who are the only ones who'll work that hard for such low pay) and how far the right will go to deny their role in the problem.  But it does make sense when the goal is to smear people of a certain ethnicity and color.

I didnt say i didnt own it or write it. what i said is is bullshit that you clowns need something that has been confirmed as true. 

the farm is owned by a person in the GOP party and that means his farm can be considered GOP owned and operated. I did not say the GOP PARTY OR THE GOP NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS ran or owned the farm. So again it is petty to DISSECT it as if the way i put it or the way you want it, changes how the farm is described, it doesn't.

what are you talking about-- all the news outlets have confirmed the operator of this specific farm is a gop member and recently attempted to win a seat on the farm bureau.

There is no rumors just facts that have been confirmed by government sources. So the only issue is folks who just cant seem to acknowledge information they can find and confirm for themselves away from this website.

Once again, if the employer has complied with the law, what more do you demand they do? Please, give some specifics.

Somehow that "compliance" just wasn't very effective. This whole sorry, tragic episode seems to be just one system f**k up after another and you lot just can't let yourselves admit that.  And I have a hard time believing that this perp was a completely law-abiding, hard working person for all the time he's been in the US and suddenly turned into a vicious killer overnight.  Somebody's hiding something about this guy.

UPDATE: 

Lang also clarified that the company did not use the government’s E-Verify system to check Rivera, though the company said in a statement the day prior that it did.

Lang said the company used a system relying on a driver’s license and Social Security card, but that Rivera provided an out-of-state ID and other false documents.

Both E-Verify and the Social Security Administration's program, immigration experts said, can be beaten with a state ID and a Social Security number belonging to someone else.

And notice how they all have to throw in the "and he was employed by a Republican". He was employed by a FAMILY member OF a Republican. While that may infer political preference, I can find nowhere where the actual owner is a Republican. But that's okay. It's just scissors. We'll let them run with it.

I am just going to jump in with my thoughts (have not time to read 200 comments).

Careful not to exaggerate this sad, sad, account any more than we do any of the other deaths that take place in the country. Why just this week: a citizen was found to have killed his PREGNANT wife and his two daughters. The two girls were found in a tank of oil on his old job.

So yes, all death is sad. And, don't get me started on the whole American shame of Sandy Hook Elementary, where were these conservative wringing hands and 'pooling' then and now? Conservatives! 26 students and teachers are still waiting for an answer from your side!

Reality is a 'mother.'
