I’ve been boycotting Tyson since Bill Clinton got elected president, so this doesn’t effect me much.

I live not too far north of you in MO.

There's a few poultry processing plants in my area, and none have seen an ICE raid in nearly a decade. I suspect a certain congresscritter with a sketchy past was keeping the hounds out of the district.

[Maris Crane]

Never bought Tyson since the reign of Clinton AND NEVER WILL

[mythenjoseph]

I did not see “Kirkwood” as an offshoot from Tyson to Aldi’s markets....I hope not as the Kirkwood brand is consistent and good as far as I know...I’m only 62...stupid me.

[Chgogal]

How stupid we Americans for tolerating this.

[DoughtyOne]

I haven’t ever, and will never buy Tyson products.

[Captainpaintball]

Military men trained in sabotage, sent to destroy our food water and power grid are “above” doing such menial tasks.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Tell the Tyson jugheads the freeloaders are seeking “asylum” and all of its freebies and benefits. They’re not seeking jobs where you have to work and get dirty. If they were looking for jobs, they would have showed up at the Rio Grande garbage site in boots and work clothes, NOT NIKE “AIR JORDANS” AND OUTFITS PEOPLE WEAR TO GO ON CARIBBEAN CRUISES.

[Captainpaintball]

Tyson is an evil company. Yet many of you schmuckbags are STILL BUYING and will CONTIUNE to buy tyson products. Because you are weak and stupid and have no principles. And this is why they are destroying you.

[Night Hides Not]

This move be Tyson is right out of “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair.

[Lean-Right]

Agreed.
I worked at a Swifts plant
in Minnesota in 1971 for
$2.35/hr. I was 16 years
old.
Made time & a half on the
muck-out crew loading barrels
of turkey guts/heads onto
trucks bound for the hog
farms and pet food processors
During peak season 6500
turkeys ran thru the plant
daily.
It was quite the motivator
to try and better my
employment prospects.

[McGruff]

Yeah just what I want. Some potential terrorist handling my food.

[minnesota_bound]

52,000 Americans lose jobs.

[ronnie raygun]

you can see my tyson purchases in my trash can today

[EQAndyBuzz]

How will they handle the requisite I9 to prove you are a citizen of the US?

[FLT-bird]

When I worked at the corporate HQ for Wally, it was easy to notice all the Mexicans Tyson had working at their meat packing plants in Northwest Arkansas. There was one Wal-Mart store that was so overrun everybody took to calling that one “the Mexican embassy”.

This was 20 years ago.

[COBOL2Java]

The US Chamber of Commerce is giddy

"Yay! Cheap labor!"

[Pollard]

I already boycott conglomerates in general.

[SaveFerris]

How’s about hiring Americans?
