The man charged in connection with the death and kidnapping of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts allegedly worked for years on a dairy farm under the alias John Budd.
The owner of Yarrabee Farms, a prominent GOP family, is facing questions over whether its leadership knew that the man, whose real name is Cristhian Bahena Rivera, was working in the country illegally, according to the Associated Press. The employer declined to comment on Rivera's work identity, the outlet reported.
It was widely reported that Rivera is an undocumented immigrant, despite his lawyer's claims that Rivera is in the country legally.
Three people with knowledge of Rivera's employment history confirmed that he was hired and paid under the name John Budd for the last four years, the AP reported. The unnamed people spoke anonymously because they said they were not authorized to reveal such information while the criminal investigation into Tibbetts's death is ongoing.
The AP reported that farm officials say Rivera presented an out-of-state photo identification and a Social Security number upon being hired in 2014.
According to its lawyer, the farm followed legal requirements to check his documents, determining "that they appeared genuine on their face and related to the person presenting them," the AP noted.
Tibbetts's body was found last month after she had been missing for more than a month.
She disappeared while jogging in the town of Brooklyn, Iowa. Her cause of death in a preliminary report was listed as a "homicide resulting from multiple sharp force injuries," the Iowa State Medical Examiner told CNN.
Her killing reignited the debate on immigration policies, with the Trump administration seizing on Tibbetts's death as a call for stricter immigration.
Tibbetts's family has issued calls urging lawmakers not to use her death as a "pawn" in the immigration debate.
In an op-ed penned last week, Tibbetts's father pleaded for his daughter’s name not to be invoked in advocating for stricter immigration policies.
“I encourage the debate on immigration; there is great merit in its reasonable outcome. But do not appropriate Mollie’s soul in advancing views she believed were profoundly racist,” Rob Tibbetts wrote in the Des Moines Register.
“According to its lawyer, the farm followed legal requirements to check his documents, determining “that they appeared genuine on their face and related to the person presenting them,” the AP noted.”
I’m sure they noticed nothing when validating the stolen license and checking out the false SSN.
I’m sure he looked and talked like a John Budd
Maybe he meant to use John Wadd
More likely Juan Budderia.
Yep-Dairy is lying
Who Cares?
She absolutely hated White People, ...for being White,.. She’s gone.
Well, he certainly looked like a “John Budd”.
lol
It’s a crime. First the elites let criminals enter illegally and then teach impressionable kids to be advocates in support of their illegal presence.
Which state issued this guy an ID?
SORRY- I am not buying this.
First, I have done bookkeeping/accounting for over 61 years.
Second-—This man must have had some language problems & should have been noticed fluently speaking Spanish.
JOHN BUDD isn’t anywhere near close to a Hispanic name
Someone needed labor more than they wanted to be careful about hiring an illegal.
As for how hard that work is——I was raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin.
We milked about 40 cows year round-—with only the hired hand & kids to help. We fed cows-—cleaned milking equipment & carried 10 gallon cans from the barn to the ‘milk house cooler’. We threw down silage—cut up corn that had fermented-—and hay for feed. We ground up our own dry top dressed feed from oats & dry corn + corncobs and added minerals & salt to that mixture when grinding it.
We were kids-—but we did as many chores as possible.
Turning dairy farms into large corporations is allowing the influx of illegals to do the labor.
IF I were the payroll supervisor at that farm-—I would be kicking ass & NOT taking names.
When I am P’O’d, you don’t want to be near me.
How queer, remember when his lawyer and the press were insistent that he was here working legally?
All human life is precious, and murder calls out to heaven for vengeance. This creep doesn’t didn’t care about her politics, he killed an American citizen. It could be your daughter, or granddaughter. That’s why you should care.
And the employer bought this? BS..No sale!
I do. The next one could be your daughter, wife of kid...
As long as the IRS got their quarterly deposit and didn’t flag John Budd they’re in the clear.
” This creep doesn’t didn’t care about her politics, he killed an American citizen. “
Citizens killed by illegals?
Ask yourself....How many times have we seen this?
Ask yourself....Next time, then next, then time after time.
Yet all congress does is let judges give shelter to these murdering illegals......in cities all over the USA.
Do what ever it takes to defend yourself and know your rights, stay within the law.
That’s the bottom line. Crime is everywhere. I don’t blame the Cops, they do a great job. They can’t do it all. Neither can President Trump. Trump is doing all he can, yet Liberals everywhere treat our President like he’s some second class citizen.
YOU guys all care. WEll that’s great.... like my college prof would always say...… “that just great, that, and fifty-cents will buy you cup of coffee ….anywhere in town, - be sure to bring your own cup.
An employer must keep a completed I-9 on file with copies of the required docs but the I-9 is never reviewed by any authority unless an audit takes place. If each 1-9 form was bar coded and turned into the DOJ the information, especially the SSN could be cross referenced. A simple low cost fix. The IRS will notify an employer if there is a mismatch on a 401k SSN, an I-9 should work the same way.
