Anger Erupts as Tyson Foods Faces Calls for Boycott Over Hiring of Thousands of Non-Citizen Migrants
Written by: Terry Alexander
Tyson Foods, a major food company, is facing widespread backlash and calls for a boycott after announcing its plan to hire thousands of asylum seekers. The decision has led to the closure of several poultry and meat plants across the United States, resulting in the loss of over 2,000 jobs for American workers.
Critics argue that this move not only threatens American livelihoods but also highlights the detrimental impact of the Biden administration's open borders and sanctuary city policies.
The boycott campaign against Tyson Foods is gaining traction as angry campaigners urge shoppers to refrain from purchasing the company's products. The primary concern driving the boycott is the fear that immigrants are replacing American workers in low-grade jobs. Statistics further reveal a significant decline in the number of native-born Americans in the blue-collar workforce, raising concerns about the consequences of prioritizing migrants over American citizens.

Leading the charge is America First Legal, a conservative action group launched by former Trump administration officials. They are pushing for a boycott of Tyson Foods and its products, citing the recent closures of multiple poultry and meat processing plants in Iowa, Indiana, Virginia, Arkansas, and Missouri. The closures are directly linked to Tyson's plan to hire thousands of asylum seekers in New York, a move that has sparked controversy and garnered widespread criticism among Americans.
America First Legal has warned Tyson Foods that favoring immigrants over American citizens is illegal. In a statement posted online, the group emphasized, "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." However, Tyson Foods has yet to respond to these allegations or address its decision to employ more migrants.
The closure of Tyson's Pork Plant in Perry, Iowa, which resulted in the loss of 1,276 jobs, has sparked outrage. This devastating blow to a small town with only 8,000 residents primarily affected Latino workers, according to local news sources.
Additionally, Tyson Foods closed two plants in Arkansas and Virginia last year, leaving over 1,600 people unemployed. The company also announced plans to cut corporate and executive jobs, adding to the growing concerns surrounding its employment practices.
The boycott against Tyson Foods stems from the company's decision to hire thousands of asylum seekers, primarily located in New York and other cities. Critics argue that by favoring cheaper migrant labor, the company is abandoning American workers.

Tyson's collaboration with the Tent Partnership for Refugees, a non-profit focused on aiding immigrants, further intensifies the controversy surrounding its hiring practices. The company, which currently employs over 40,000 immigrants, expressed a desire to hire an additional 42,000 migrants if possible.
The outcry against Tyson Foods on social media demonstrates the public's displeasure with the company's decision.

Many individuals have expressed their concerns and frustration, with some vowing to boycott Tyson's products. Criticisms range from ethical concerns about animal treatment to the belief that American citizens should not be laid off to make room for migrant workers.
The ongoing boycott of Tyson Foods highlights the deep divisions in the United States regarding immigration policies and the prioritization of non-citizen workers over American citizens. The consequences of Tyson's decision and the response from the public serve as a reminder of the complex and contentious nature of immigration issues in the United States.
