An Iowa farming company said late Tuesday that the man charged in the death of an Iowa college student was a employee in "good standing" who passed a government background check, The Des Moines Register reported.
Yarrabee Farms said in a statement that Cristhian Bahena Rivera, who was charged with the murder of Mollie Tibbetts, worked for the family operation for four years. The family said it was unaware Rivera was an undocumented immigrant, according to The Des Moines Register.
"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," Yarrabee Farms said. "On Monday, the authorities visited our farm and talked to our employees. We have cooperated fully with their investigation."
The farm added that it regularly seeks outside counsel to ensure it remains up-to-date on employment law, and keeps records on all workers.
The statement referenced E-Verify, which is an online system run by the federal government that allows employers to view the eligibility of its foreign workers. It's not clear how Rivera passed a background check if he was in the country illegally.
Rivera, 24, was charged with murder in connection to the death of Tibbetts, 20, who had been missing for more than a month before authorities discovered her body this week.
Authorities said that Rivera led investigators to Tibbettss body, according to The Washington Post.
At a Tuesday rally in West Virginia, President Trump seized on the charge to underscore his push for stricter immigration laws.
"You heard about today with the illegal alien coming in, very sadly, from Mexico, and you saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman. Shouldve never happened," Trump said at a rally in Charleston, W.Va.
"Weve had a huge impact but the laws are so bad," he continued. "The immigration laws are such a disgrace. Were getting them changed, but we have to get more Republicans."
Is this not the purpose of E-Verify?
Yes it was.
But when Obozo/Jarrett ran the government it was probably corrupted to approve everybody......................
E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) records to confirm that you are authorized to work in the United States.Apr 10, 2018
“This individual has worked at our farms for four years, was vetted through the government’s E-Verify system,...”
Who was President four years ago?
Background checks can be run as part of a hiring or onboarding process, as permitted by law, as well as throughout the term of employment. E-Verify is only run once after an offer of employment has been made and accepted, but no later than the third business day after the employee starts work for pay. In short, E-Verify is a supplement to Form I-9; treat it similarly.
The goal of a background check is to gain insight on your applicant/employee in order to make an employment decision. The goal of E-Verify is to electronically verify employment eligibility with the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) based on the information from a completed Form I-9.
The results of a background check can influence an employers hiring or employment decision. The results of E-Verify can not influence employment, unless if the result is a Final Non-Confirmation.
Yes, that’s the purpose. That means the illegal committed more than basic identity fraud, as the system is designed to catch basic SSN theft and the like. It suggests that the human traffickers are selling a reasonably-sophisticated identity fraud product to illegals.
Sure, e-verify said he was good to go after the dairy farm created a valid social security number for him... shut down every business that hires illegals... every single one.
And the evidence that they did, in fact, vet him is what exactly?
WUT? There’s a flaw in a government run electronic data base?
I think eVerify is supposed to match the SSN to the identity of the employee. Maybe he stole the SSN of a guy with his same name?
The Kenyan from Indonesia corrupted every agency of our government.
The founders were correct to exclude the children of foreign nationals from becoming President with the natural born citizen requirement.
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they cannot be anything else.
People born with multiple nationalities are precisely who the founders were excluding.
I do not think “background check” means the same thing to most people, as the employer being provided with some fake documents, and the SSN passed through.
It would not surprise me if E-Verify might also be corrupted, because there would be BIG MONEY in not having it flag illegals.
Clearly he committed fraud as well as illegally entering the country, along with hundreds of thousands of other criminals here threatening our safety.
The problem I see....if you went across Iowa, there are probably a minimum of 10,000 non-Americans who are in some work-support of Iowa-farmers. If you start messing with the system or making more difficult to hire basic help....it’ll put a lot of these farmers into a tough position and unable to ‘recruit’ or hire anyone to fill the job.
My brother made the point a couple of years ago...that it’s hard to find anyone willing to work the chicken-business as a day-labor guy. Even if you offer $15 an hour...where do you find willing people to put in an eight-hour day....five days a week?
When someone appears at your door who can’t speak English but who hands you a brand new Social Security card, if you are too stupid to know he’s an illegal who bought the card and perhaps a brand new birth certificate, on a street corner for ten bucks, then you are too stupid to run a business in America.
The owner and the manager of Yarrabee Farms should have to produce all the documentation on this killer. They were aiding and abetting an illegal alien, which is still against Federal law.
I would bet that it was tweaked by the Obama administration to pass just about anyone except the worse of the worse. It you were JUST an illegal you would probably pass e-verify.
The farmer knew he was here illegally.
They need to come up with a more sustainable model that doesn't involve breaking the law.
