Angry Americans are boycotting Tyson Foods in response to the company’s plans to hire 42,000 immigrants in New York as they close plants in a slew of states and give 1,300 of their current staff their walking papers.
The $53 million meat company has announced it will be closing meat and poultry processing plants in Iowa, Arkansas, Virginia, Missouri and Indiana – yet they are making a concerted effort to hire thousands of “asylum seekers” in New York. They’re offering them enticements such as free immigration lawyers and wages of $16.50 per hour, along with child care, English classes, temporary housing, a relocation stipend, and paid time off for attending court hearings.
However, after cutting 1,300 employees from their plant in Perry, Iowa, many people are accusing them of getting rid of American workers in favor of cheaper migrant labor. Not surprisingly, Open Secrets shows that the company funded the presidential campaign of Joe Biden, who has opened up the borders to let all this cheap labor roll in for them as their CEO takes home $13 million per year.
The group America First Legal has warned the company that they could be breaking the law with their actions, posting online: “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.”
In addition to the 1,300 people who are losing their jobs in Iowa, Tyson closed down a pair of facilities in Arkansas and Virginia last year that employed more than 1,600 people.

They already boast around 42,000 immigrants in their U.S. workforce, which totals 120,000. They are working with a nonprofit group known as Tent Partnership for Refugees to access more cheap labor.
Tyson’s Garrett Dolan told Bloomberg: “We would like to employ another 42,000 if we could find them.”
They’ve hired dozens of immigrants in New York City from countries like Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela in recent weeks. Dolan admitted that a significant portion of their new hires “are going to come from refugees and immigrants, so we're now in the business of strategically thinking that through.”
Although this may sound like it should be against the law, illegal immigrants often wait for several years before they get their first immigration court hearing, and they are allowed to work in the meantime.
Many American jobs are being given to foreign-born workers
While the Biden administration likes to brag about job creation, an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute found that around half of the recent growth in the labor market between January 2023 and January 2024 came from foreign-born workers.
In a recent interview about Tyson on Jesse Watters Primetime, Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) said that their actions are unacceptable.
He stated: “Every time an American is replaced with an illegal immigrant, it means that an American family loses a good family supporting wage. It means that American companies are literally replacing our own citizens with people who work for slave wages.”
He added: “That is the decimation of the American middle class via illegal immigration and it’s happening all over the country.”
