The 90 Miles Mystery Box: Episode #359

You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?

It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,

from the beautiful to the repugnant,

from the mysterious to the familiar.

If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,

you could be inspired, you could be appalled.

This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.

You have been warned.

What Is the Real Identity of the Illegal Alien Who Murdered Mollie Tibbetts?

By now, most readers are probably aware of another senseless murder committed by an illegal alien who purportedly hails from Mexico. The facts are tragic: Mollie Tibbetts, a young woman about to enter her sophomore year of college goes out jogging, is stalked, and is ultimately murdered by the alien, identified in news reports as Cristhian Rivera.

The trail leads to Rivera (assuming that's his real name) in part because of a video camera capturing his car in the area where Tibbets disappeared. When questioned, Rivera confessed and led police to her body. It also came out during questioning that he is illegally in the United States, and this in turn led Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to file a detainer against him — purely as a safeguard, it should be noted, since in a case of this kind, the intent and desire is to permit state officials to prosecute for murder. The detainer is solely to take effective removal action, either if the prosecution case falls apart, or sometime in the far distant future after he has finished serving his sentence (assuming it isn't either capital punishment or life imprisonment).

Tracking this story, as with so many involving illegal aliens involved in horrendous crimes, is a little like following bread crumbs to the source. Many media outlets actively strive to avoid confronting, speaking about, or even asking, basic questions relating to an individual's immigration status these days because such cases call into question the narrative script that all immigration is an unbridled good, that sanctuary policies are right and just, that the border needs no physical barrier, and that ICE should be abolished. As a consequence, we only slowly, if ever, find out what the facts behind the matter really are.

"... it tells us that Rivera used an alias and stole someone's identity (his employers say they knew him by a different name). He was using a legitimate Social Security number belonging to a real person, quite possibly a native-born U.S. citizen of Hispanic origins, or perhaps a lawful resident."

As this story broke on public consciousness, attention focused on what Rivera had been doing during his illegal sojourn in the United States. It turns out he had been working at a local farm for four years. The farm, faced with embarrassment and pressure, defended its hiring practices at first by claiming that it had vetted him through E-Verify, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) system designed to confirm or reject the work eligibility of individuals seeking employment.

Once you have stolen an identity,
you can vote.

This revelation probably delighted many on the left, plus those on the right who unabashedly advocate for unrestrained use of alien agricultural labor, since they have long resisted the imposition of universal E-Verify. If it is established that E-Verify failed to screen Rivera out, it would be a powerful argument against making it mandatory on a national basis.

Unfortunately for those who might have been thinking about this, DHS apparently checked its system records and said "no it ain't so", leading the farm spokesperson to then correct herself and say that it was, instead, the Social Security Administration's SSNVS (Social Security number verification system) that the farm had used to check Rivera's right to work. That is entirely possible, and if so, what does it tell us?

First, irony of ironies, that E-Verify is generally the better system. The reason for this is simple: Many immigration documents are backed up with biometric data— fingerprints, photographs, signatures, and the like. Thus there is often a basis for being sure that the document presented relates to the person presenting it; not always, but often. Compare that to the American Social Security card, which is infamous for being devoid of biometrics, or even much biographic data. This is ostensibly because of fears that it would ultimately be used as a national identity card, but the fact remains that without such safeguards, it isn't much to work with when performing automated system checks on a person hundreds of miles away.

Second, it tells us that Rivera used an alias and stole someone's identity (his employers say they knew him by a different name). He was using a legitimate Social Security number belonging to a real person, quite possibly a native-born U.S. citizen of Hispanic origins, or perhaps a lawful resident. Working in reverse, then, he could have gone out on the open market and procured himself a second document known as a "breeder document", which, in combination with his bogus-but-facially-legitimate Social Security card, could be used to obtain a driver's license or non-driver state ID in the name of the person whose identity he stole.

Thus armed with the driver's license (or non-driver ID) and Social Security card, it would have been easy — apparently was — to present himself to the farm, get passed through SSNVS checks, and begin employment. So right now, we don't really know the murderer's real identity, or whether he has a criminal history somewhere else such as Mexico, if indeed he is Mexican. Perhaps the police or ICE do by now, but we don't.

Stop and consider the ramifications of what I'm saying. Repeat the scenario above tens of thousands of times all over the country, and you will see the size and depth of the problem of large-scale illegal immigration. It is supported by an underground marketplace of phony document sellers who specialize in selling any and all kinds of documents, including Social Security cards that could result in screwing up your Social Security account, or that of your kid, and you might not know it for a...

Venezuelan Women Turn To Sex Work In Colombia Amid Economic Crisis

Venezuelan women are being driven into the sex trade in Colombia in order to survive, a Sky News investigation has found.

Scores of women were found touting for business on the streets of the border city of Cucuta. In one club, the overwhelming majority of women working as prostitutes were Venezuelan.Scores of women were found touting for business in the border city of Cucuta

In a brothel full of 60 women, there were just two Colombians, while the rest were Venezuelans.

One mother-of-two, who used to be a ballerina and businesswoman in Venezuela before the country’s economic collapse, told Sky News: “I would give this up if there was any other option.

‘A SHAMEFUL JOB BUT WHAT OPTION DO I HAVE?’

“This is a shameful job but what option do I have? I have to make money to look after my children and feed them. There is nothing in Venezuela. The only way to put food on the table for my children is to travel here to Colombia and sell my body.”

A second woman, the mother of a one-year-old boy, said she used to be a hairdresser.

“If things ever get any better in Venezuela, I’d love to set up my own business,” she said.

“Anything would be better. I do this because I have to do this. I don’t do drugs, I don’t drink. I just do this. If I could do something better, I’d do it… and I’d stop this straight away.”

The women spoke of feeling powerless and vulnerable and admit their options are extremely limited, with no official paperwork to leave Venezuela legally in the long-term.Sky’s Alex Crawford meets sex workers in Venezuela

BOMBSHELL REPORT REVEALS COMEY’S FBI READ LESS THAN 1% OF WEINER’S LAPTOP EMAILS

RealClear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry basically accused former FBI Director James Comey of lying under oath Thursday, referring to his bombshell investigative report that the Bureau reviewed a mere fraction of the emails contained on disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner’s laptop.“James Comey told Congress that they had reviewed all of the Clinton emails, hundreds of thousands, that were found on the Weiner laptop. But that was not true. They barely looked at any of them. Just 3,000 of 700,000,” Sperry began during his appearance on Fox News’s Ingraham Angle.

Jason Chaffetz, who was filling in for Laura Ingraham, interrupted, “Wait, wait, wait. They looked at how many?”

“3,000 out of potentially relevant 700,000 emails were actually individually examined for classified information and incriminating evidence,” Sperry continued. “Peter Strzok, the disgraced agent who was in charge of this midyear investigation into the Clinton emails, he actually personally handpicked the 3,000 sample. And with two other investigators, they went through them all supposedly, pulled an all-nighter, ordered pizza, and said nothing new here. Case closed once again.”

Sperry’s investigative piece specified, saying that 3,077 emails were “directly reviewed.”

“I’ve got to tell you, as the former chairman of the committee, as a former member of Congress, I mean, how can that be anything other than the director of the FBI lying to Congress and misleading us?” Chaffetz asked.

Sperry concluded, “Well he also swore under oath, that, he had this story that there was this miraculous breakthrough in technology that...
