Wrecking the immigration system has always depended on lies.
Lies like “one-time amnesty”, “thoroughly vetted refugees”, “address the root causes of migration” and, of course, “jobs Americans won’t do.”
Generations of Americans (not to mention Europeans) were assured that the invading hordes were just there to do the scut work, the jobs that the natives won’t do. Business groups treated us to a litany of complaints that their members just couldn’t find Americans to fill those jobs. And without an endless flood of migrants, the entire economy will collapse.
This was always a lie, but few companies demonstrated it as devastatingly as Tyson Foods just did.
Tyson this week said it would shutter its pork plant in Perry, Iowa, this summer, putting 1,276 people out of work in a town of just 8,000…
Last May, Tyson Foods closed two facilities in Virginia and Arkansas that employed more than 1,600 people. In April, it announced plans to cut 10 percent of corporate jobs and 15 percent of executives…
Plants in North Little Rock, Arkansas; Corydon, Indiana; and Dexter and Noel, Missouri are set to end operations in the first half of 2024, following a 0.8 percent slump in the company’s sales between 2022-2023.
Tyson meanwhile has moved to hire more of the asylum seekers who headed to New York and other cities after entering the US, seeking to fill undesirable jobs amid a low unemployment rate of 3.9 percent.
It’s not that Tyson can’t find employees who are citizens, it doesn’t want them and is firing them. This is what it wants.
“We would like to employ another 42,000 if we could find them,” said Garrett Dolan, who leads Tyson’s efforts to eliminate employment barriers such as immigration status or the need for childcare.
On a cold day last month, Tyson officials met with immigrants at Chobani’s offices in Manhattan and hired 17 asylum seekers from Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia for jobs at its plant in Humboldt, Tennessee. Last week, it hired 70 more.
“We’re recognizing there’s not a lot of people that are going to be working labor-manufacturing jobs that are American,” Dolan said. A large portion of new hires “are going to come from refugees and immigrants, so we’re now in the business of strategically thinking that through.”…
Tyson is also investing in retaining immigrant workers, having earmarked $1.5 million a year for legal aid services in 2023 and 2024 and providing paid time off for workers to attend court hearings.
“They’re very, very loyal,” Dolan said. “They’ve been uprooted and what they want is stability — what they want is a sense of belonging.”
Tyson is divesting from Americans and investing in invaders. And it’s far from alone.
Tent Partnership for Refugees founded by Chobani’s Hamdi Ulukaya, a Turkish Muslim yogurt magnate, has a list of partners that include Amazon, Starbucks, Unilever, Gap, Google, and Coca-Cola, among many others.
“Not a lot of people that are going to be working labor-manufacturing jobs that are American”. Especially if you fire Americans and replace them with invaders.
