HUMBOLDT, Tenn. (AP) — Tyson Foods Inc. plans to build a new chicken production complex in Tennessee, a $300 million project that is expected to create more than 1,500 jobs when the facility begins operations in late 2019, the company said Monday.

The plant will help it meet strong consumer demand for its chicken.

I won’t buy Tyson products. I don’t support the wholesale importation of illegals, which the Tyson management seems to...manage

You were thinking right. All the meat industry packing plants....chicken, beef or pork are all fully staffed by illegals. If you don’t speak Spanish you can’t do business with them in TX, KS, and OK.

“And they worked very closely with Clintbilly when they did it”.

And as I remember, Clintbilly waived some state environmental/pollution regulations for them. Of course he received some “contributions” for doing so.

I have been boycotting Tyson for years. First, big Bill Clinton supporter, and, then, the thing with the illegals.

Looks like Tysons is going to have to hire more illegal Mexians and Somalians.

Not a single job for an American. Mexico should pay him for all the extra income his people return to old MeHe Co.

Let’s don’t forget Chobani Yogurt. They bring in Muslim ‘refugees’ sign them up for welfare and let the white people pay their salaries.

Cut welfare etal back to the ‘old standards’, run the illegals out of the country and there are plenty of jobs for Americans.

Got to stop buying into this BS of ‘jobs Americans won’t do’.

Of course ‘they’ won’t do them if ‘we’ give them to many options rather than work.

They’ll have to import their illegals to fill that many jobs or pay a lot more than the vegetable packing plants in the area
