IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A top Republican fundraiser whose firm works for several prominent immigration hardliners is the partial owner of the land where the Mexican man accused of killing Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts lived rent-free, a farm spokeswoman said Friday.

Nicole Schlinger has long been a key fundraiser and campaign contractor for GOP politicians in Iowa and beyond, including this cycle for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Virginia Senate candidate Corey Stewart.

Schlinger is the president of Campaign Headquarters, a call center that makes fundraising calls, identifies supporters and helps turn out voters for conservative candidates and groups. Her business is one of the largest in Brooklyn, the central Iowa town where Tibbetts disappeared while out for a run on July 18.

Schlinger is married to Eric Lang, the president of the family-owned dairy that has acknowledged providing employment and housing for the last four years to Cristhian Bahena Rivera, the man charged with murder in Tibbetts' death.

The couple — along with her husband's brother Craig Lang and his wife — own farmland outside Brooklyn that includes trailers where some of the dairy's employees live for free as a benefit of their employment, farm spokeswoman Eileen Wixted confirmed.

Most Republicans are joined at the hip with the Rats on illegal immigration. They want their cheap labor.

Political connections aside, I hope they took a hard look into this farm’s hiring practices to see whether they were violating the law.

The farm owners say that they use-verify, and that the murderer checked out legal.

The farm owners lied. They did not use E-Verify and never have. There is no confirmation that the SSN he used wasn’t provided by the employer. Stay tuned.

If the e-verify system is broken then lets fix it, but I'm not willing to take the word of a rich politically connected farmer that it is.

Too many elites benefiting from cheap labor.

They’re trying to blame Republicans for a murderer liberals let in, protected and continue to abet by blaming everyone but the murderer.

"Political connections aside, I hope they took a hard look into this ALL farm’s hiring practices to see whether they were violating the law."

Of course, this has to be nation wide, before more tragedies occur. That, and the fact that we need rule of law.

I won’t disagree, but THIS farm needs a thorough examination right away.

It is my understanding that they tried to vette their laborers, but this guy had stolen ID, so he came back clean. Most don't make even a token effort. For day laborers, it is pretty typical for them to go a gathering spot and just load up as many as they need.
