The employers of an undocumented immigrant charged in the killing of 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa initially said they had run the worker through a federal system to verify his immigration status.

But the owners of Yarrabee Farms in Brooklyn, Iowa, later admitted that they had not used the E-Verify system to ensure that Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, was legally in the country and allowed to work. They had been using a different, outdated system and vowed to immediately start using E-Verify for all future employees.

E-Verify is fake.  It's just there to make it look like the government is doing something.

E-Verify is fake.  It's just there to make it look like the government is doing something.

This I-9 verification has been the law since November 6, 1986, you can see how effective it has been. Seeing how it's been ignored what makes anyone believe E-Verify would do a damn thing?
