Calls for a boycott are intensifying on X following Tyson Foods' announcement earlier this week to shutter a pork processing facility in Perry, Iowa. This move will eliminate 1,276 blue-collar jobs. At the same time, the mega food processor has expressed interest in hiring tens of thousands of illegals.
"While this decision was not easy, it emphasizes our focus to optimize the efficiency of our operations to best serve our customers," a Tyson spokesperson said in a statement to Food Dive.
Perhaps the optimization part of the supply chain is better explained by Garrett Dolan, who leads Tyson's efforts to eliminate employment barriers such as immigration status, told Bloomberg, "We would like to employ another 42,000 [migrants] if we could find them."

Tyson Foods is firing American workers and replacing them with illegals.
Adding insult to injury, Tyson Foods will also provide lawyers to help with "immigration" hearings.

The idea that Tyson is firing hardworking Americans while attempting to exploit cheap labor from illegals enraged X users. Many of them called for a boycott of all Tyson's brands.

Tyson is closing its facility in Perry, Iowa and laying off its 1,200 workers.
Instead, they plan to hire thousands of new illegals in states like New York.
Tyson Foods is closing its Perry, Iowa pork plant.
This will cost the town 1,200 jobs.
The current population in Perry is 7,928.
Tyson Foods is currently looking to fill 52,000 factory jobs and it’s planning on doing so by hiring illegal aliens in NYC over the next 2 years.
