A story is going viral on social media platforms and alternative news sources of the Internet that Tyson Foods plans to hire some 42,000 “asylum seekers” as food processing plant workers for $16.50 an hour ($33,000 per year) with benefits. Last week Tyson announced they plan to close its Pork Plant in Perry, Iowa. That June shutdown will cost 1,276 people their jobs in a town of roughly 8,000 people.
Tyson Foods to hire 52,000 migrants after massive layoffs in Iowa
So now, angry boycott organizers are urging shoppers to boycott Tyson Foods and its related products amid its new move to hire thousands of “asylum seekers”. The food company has previously shut down other plants related to its poultry and meat plants across the US. Facilities impacted have been in Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Virginia, where they employed over 2,000 people.
“Great Replacement. Tyson Foods Fires 1,200 American Workers To Replace Them With Illegal Aliens” – Frank Speech
Tyson Foods has hired dozens of illegal immigrants recently with the help of immigration and corporate lawyers. This boycott is motivated by the fear of illegal immigrants replacing American citizens in low-income jobs. Statistical studies show there’s a significant decrease in the number of native-born Americans in the blue-collar workforce today.
Data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that between July and August 2023, the workforce suffered a significant decline in American-born workers, at about 1.2 million people. In that same time frame foreign-born workers had an increase in employment gaining about 668,000 jobs.
America First Legal (https://aflegal.org/) and other campaigners are pushing for a boycott of Tyson Foods and its related product lines. The boycott campaign is accusing Tyson of using the closures to ditch American workers for cheaper migrant labor. America First Legal, a conservative action group launched by former Trump administration officials, has warned the company favoring and hiring illegal immigrants is illegal.
The group posted a statement that reads, “It is ILLEGAL under federal law to discriminate against American citizens based on their citizenship in favor of non-citizens of any kind when it comes to employment.”
Tyson Foods has yet to respond to this statement or speak on its decision to replace American workers with migrants.
In May of last year over 1,600 people were out of jobs after Tyson Foods closed down two plants in Arkansas and Virginia. Last April the company announced it was cutting 10 percent of its corporate jobs and 15 percent of its executive jobs nationwide. These actions seemed to result after Tyson’s 2022-2023 sales numbers hit a 0.8 percent slump. Tyson also announced plans to shutter several more plants in Arkansas, Indiana, and Missouri.
This boycott has been triggered by Tyson’s decision to hire thousands of illegal immigrants primarily in New York as an “asylum state”. They theory is Tyson needs to fill these more undesirable positions traditionally termed “slaughterhouse work” due to the unemployment rate currently down at 3.9 percent nationally. The past few weeks Tyson is said to have hired a significant number of “asylum seekers” from Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela, at a job fair held in New York.
It is said Tyson currently employs over 40,000 immigrants in its 120,000-plus workforce in its US business holdings. Some say they’re boosting this number significantly with immigrants by collaborating with the Tent Partnership for Refugees (https://www.tent.org/), a non-profit focused on helping immigrants in the US.
Social media platform posts show people are enraged by Tyson Foods’ plant closures and hiring decisions. We found significant posts promoting this boycott in our feeds on Facebook, TikTok, Truth Social, and X.
CONCLUSION:
So once again history shows the Democrats are actually bad while the Republicans are actually good to labor. Yet we still have the misconception Democrats are the party for blue collar worker while Republicans want to use capitalism as an excuse to wipe them out. President Donald Trump has proven nothing can be farther from the truth.
Read his recent (now famous) “bloodbath” speech and that resulted in the latest Democrat/MSM hoax to stop him:
“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now … you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.” – Former President Donald Trump
Two things popped out at me doing this story…
1. The “bloodbath” President Trump was referencing has already started for American workers and Tyson’s actions are proof and, once again, Trump is right!
2. Democrats are lying hypocrites as is proven here (and this is HILARIOUS):
“Real Uses of Term “Bloodbath” For the Educated”
I got a gut feeling this boycott will make the Bud Light boycott look like child’s play.
