Angry shoppers are boycotting Tyson Foods products as the $53-million meat firm shutters plants in Iowa and elsewhere while hiring thousands of asylum seekers at job fairs in New York.
Campaigners are urging consumers to stop buying Tyson products amid its wave of closures of poultry- and meat-processing plants across Iowa, Virginia, Arkansas, Indiana, and Missouri.
They point to Tyson's efforts to hire thousands of asylum seekers in New York, offering $16.50-an-hour wages and free immigration lawyers, accusing the firm of ditching US-born workers for cheaper migrant labor.
America First Legal, a conservative action group launched by former Trump administration officials, warned Tyson that it could be breaking the law by favoring foreign-born workers over Americans.

So much for Tyson. I hope they hit the ground so hard they bounce.

Bounce, hell. I want to see the crater.

Imagine working at Tyson Foods then getting vaxed so you don’t get fired then getting fired anyways then getting replaced by illegals who aren’t vaxed.

It’s not
But it isn’t legal to just cross our border, either and that’s not being enforced

Or for West Coasters/Western people:
Foster Farms: https://www.fosterfarms.com

I prefer Foster Farms. Tyson is a crappy product to begin with and I've eschewed them for many years. It makes a poor broth, for starters....

American companies have been doing this for over 30 years.
Cheap labor and more Dem voters are why Biden keeps Borders open.

In truth, chicken processing is one of those jobs 'Americans don't want to do'. Even back when I lived in the Shenandoah Valley, you could always get a job there if you were desperate, but few stayed any longer than it took to get something better, and some just got that first check and left. Nasty work.
But that was MarVel, and I still won't buy Tyson.
