In the wake of 20-year-old college student Mollie Tibbetts’ alleged murder by an illegal alien, the Washington Post profiled the small community of Brooklyn, Iowa, which has been shaken by the crime, focusing primarily on the hardships of the town’s immigrants. As Breitbart News has reported extensively, 24-year-old illegal alien Cristhian Bahena-Rivera has been charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’ death after police say he admitted to confronting and chasing down the young woman. The illegal alien lived in a region of Iowa that was surrounded by sanctuary cities, as Breitbart News noted, and worked on a dairy farm using a stolen ID and Social Security card after allegedly crossing the U.S.-Mexico border as a child.
In the Washington Post‘s profile of Brooklyn, Iowa, reporter Katie Mettler focuses much of the piece on the small town’s Hispanic and immigrant population which—as she notes—represents less than 2.5 percent of the community.
“Brooklyn’s Latino residents say they have felt welcome in this town, which sits halfway between Iowa City and Des Moines along Interstate 80, but there have been subtle tensions,” the Washington Post report reads. “Language barriers create some separation, and there are cultural disconnects: In Mexico, quinceañeras are a community affair. Here, they are not.”
Later on, the Washington Post piece highlights how immigrants in the town are suffering after Tibbetts’ death and are allegedly being harassed. Specifically, Mettler notes the hardships of Bahena-Rivera’s uncle:
Rivera’s uncle, Eustaquio “Capi” Bahena Radilla, said he fears less for himself than for his three school-age children. Most days, Bahena Radilla socializes only with co-workers at Yarrabee Farms. Even if he spent more time in town, he wouldn’t know if neighbors were whispering about him — he doesn’t speak English. [Emphasis added]

The media always posts stories like this after a Muslim terrorist attack or when someone is murdered by an illegal alien.
It's no wonder kids can't think straight.
They not only never learned English but everyone around them doesn't practice it.
SHEESH !
It's almost like they have them done up in advance.
The Left is constantly prepared to defend the ideology.
The farm operator is enjoying the profits derived from a foreign labor crew.
By some definitions, that might be called slavery.
How many of those employees have family members who are receiving one form or another of public assistance?
This is beyond pathetic. Have they no shame?

I call BS. If these ass clowns at WAPO really had scruples, then why dont they HOUSE any of these illegals in their homes?
Awwwwwwwwwww ain’t that a shame, perhaps they should stop crossing the border ILLEGALLY, collecting welfare and food stamps, becoming MS 13 gang bangers who rape 11 year olds in their beds, and oh yeah that murdering Americans thing, cant forget that one
Oh hey Eustaquio! Sorry you’re having a hard time on account of your rapist/murderer nephew! Iowa’s bad!!! How can we make it up to you? Perhaps some mandatory diversity training for the whole town? Just remember Eustaquio, under the GW/Obama administrations, your nephew wouldve had ample time to high tail it back to Mexico prior to capture. Sorrys!!
Interview every single one of them. If they’re here illegally deport every single one of them.
No exceptions.

This is not Mexico and we speak English here.
Immigrants learn the language, apply for entry, pay their fees, wait their turn and comply with the laws.
Illegal aliens do not.
Before the immigrants, Iowa was a nice place.
After the immigrants, Iowa is not as nice of a place.
If the media cares they should start a collection to raise money to send these people to their home country where they won't have to deal with 'hate' in America.
American Murdered - Illegal Immigrants Hardest Hit
“Rivera’s uncle, Eustaquio “Capi” Bahena Radilla, said he fears less for himself than for his three school-age children. Most days, Bahena Radilla socializes only with co-workers at Yarrabee Farms——”

I would strongly urge that he return to Mexico for the safety of his children.
.
Are these “immigrants” here legally or not!?
I find it hard to believe that people that managed to go through all of the legal tests and pay all of the fines are here picking damn fruit and cant speak English worth jack.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
These people are shameless. Dead Americans or illegal aliens? Ummmm, I vote Americans.
