Tyson Foods aims to hire over 40,000 illegal aliens and migrants for food processing jobs to maximize profits through cheap labor.
The company later clarified its stance on illegal immigration, stating strong opposition and adherence to legal employment requirements.
“They’re very, very loyal,” Tyson human resources leader Garrett Dolan said. “They’ve been uprooted and what they want is stability — what they want is a sense of belonging.”
“We would like to employ another 42,000 if we could find them,” Dolan added.
“In recent days, there has been a lot of misinformation in the media about our company, and we feel compelled to set the record straight,” the company stated. “Tyson Foods is strongly opposed to illegal immigration, and we led the way in participating in the two major government programs to help employers combat unlawful employment, E-Verify and the Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program.”
“Tyson Foods employs 120,000 team members in the U.S., all of whom are required to be legally authorized to work in this country,” the statement added. “We have a history of strong hiring practices, and anybody who is legally able is welcome to apply to open job listings.”
Despite this, Tyson announced plant closures in the U.S., with the Perry, Iowa, location shutting down permanently, affecting over 1,200 workers.
“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our Perry, Iowa, pork plant,” a Tyson Foods spokesperson said. The closing “emphasizes our focus to optimize the efficiency of our operations to best serve our customers.”
