"Time To Bud Light Them": Tyson Foods Firing Blue-Collar Workers & Replacing Them With Illegals

Politics

Calls for a boycott are intensifying on X following Tyson Foods' announcement earlier this week to shutter a pork processing facility in Perry, Iowa. This move will eliminate 1,276 blue-collar jobs. At the same time, the mega food processor has expressed interest in hiring tens of thousands of illegals. 

"While this decision was not easy, it emphasizes our focus to optimize the efficiency of our operations to best serve our customers," a Tyson spokesperson said in a statement to Food Dive. 

Perhaps the optimization part of the supply chain is better explained by Garrett Dolan, who leads Tyson's efforts to eliminate employment barriers such as immigration status, told Bloomberg, "We would like to employ another 42,000 [migrants] if we could find them."

Or explained by Charlie Kirk... 

The idea that Tyson is firing hardworking Americans while attempting to exploit cheap labor from illegals enraged X users. Many of them called for a boycott of all Tyson's brands. 

And it begins.
