The body of Mollie Tibbetts, the University of Iowa student who has been missing for weeks, has been found. An Iowa official said the suspect in custody in Tibbetts' death is being held on a federal immigration detainer. Authorities charged 24-year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera with first-degree murder.

U.S. Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst of Iowa released the following statement regarding the announcement. “We are deeply saddened that this bright, young woman’s life was cut short. Our heart goes out to the family and friends of Mollie Tibbetts. No family should ever have to endure such a tragedy, especially one that could have been prevented. We are thankful for the hard work of Governor Reynolds and federal, state and local law enforcement as they continue to find answers for Mollie’s family and the American public and bring the killer to justice. As Governor Reynolds said, ‘our immigration system allowed a predator like this to live in our community.’ Too many Iowans have been lost at the hands of criminals who broke our immigration laws. We cannot allow these tragedies to continue.”

Mueller closed the Boston Bombers file before the bombing. The San Bernardino cops knew of that killer two weeks before he shot up the Christmas party so where was Mueller?

"I’m willing to entertain martial related immigration, as long as it DOES NOT include chain immigration."

You mean marital? That's what some people in the Trump Administration and conservative members of Congress have been working on besides ending the diversity lottery and other things. Nuclear family only for those who marry Americans--not extended family. Looks fair and practical to me.

But the Democrats in Congress have refused to even negotiate about it so far.

Someone has uploaded screenshots that claim to be from her twitter feed indicating that she was very left wing and hated Trump, so she was probably for sanctuary cities. A development that, I must say, affects the amount of sorrow and outrage I feel. It’s still a sad story, of course, but I guess I can carry on.

She became a conservative but it was too late.

ICE is doing their job.
They have been instructed to remove illegal aliens with criminal records and with removal orders.
They have stepped up enforcement actions against businesses.
It’s not nearly enough but is much improved over the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

We already have marital law. If the couple marries in another country which recognizes the marriage, the spouse who is an American citizen can bring the other here.

And guess what is just coming out tonite. The ag business that employed this illegal is a big shot Republican. Just lost in the primary for Iowa Sec. of Ag. Was head of the Iowa Farm Bureau (which owns the Iowa Legislature) and was on the Iowa Board of Regents (which runs the State Universities).

One can bitch about Democrats and their sucking up to illegals, but quite often, just like here, is high dollar Republicans are the ones hiring the illegals.

Well if she was a SJW I’m sure her parents are snowflakes too and will soon make statements condemning POTUS and others for “using” her death for political issue. However, this is bigger than their daughter.

Yes we know..the deep state globalists. the cheap labor express.
we get it, we know. that’ what TRUMP’s election was about. He ran as a Republican to get onto a major party ticket but in reality he has a ton of RINOS who hate him, as you know the Never Trumpers.

"...tried to catch the story and couldn’t because of Cohen and Manafort..."


You ain’t kidding. A huge story that actually impacts decent Americans is being buried behind two nonsensical issues.
One involves a turncoat screwball lawyer and the other is decades-old tax-evasion that has nothing to do with Russia or President Trump.

The media is trying to make us care about EITHER of those nothingburgers as if they would ever remotely impact our lives.
Meanwhile, violent illegal immigrants are busting over our borders are murdering innocent Americans daily...and the media is trying to brush past it as if it is inconsequential.
Farging iceholes that they are.

Yes, I did mean marital. I seem to have developed a bit of dyslexia when I’m typing these days. Sorry I missed that.

You are right. Democrats have made it such that the heart grows cold. Damn shame.

"...martial / marital / dyslexic thing..."


No worries. Both words could totally work well in your earlier post, so that is why I clarified.
