The good news is that the owners who decided to hire low wage immigrants instead of Americans are seeing their businesses closed. The bad news is the taxpayers are probably bailing them out, and the immigrant hiring will resume once the covid mess is behind us

We should have all meat packing plants manned by robots, as some plants are in Denmark now. Totally clean and dependable, it’s an infinite improvement over low-wage human workers. It would be worth paying more for meat and vegetables processed in sterile conditions.

The make up of employment at a lot of the basic food production
facilities are now of foreign decent. This has been changing over
time and will continue is my guess. Even though farming is a physical
labor type the processes have changed with machinery and the work force
used.

If you live in a rural are go to the local town stores on Sat and look
at the families there doing the shopping.

My brother runs a large meat plant for a competitor.

They hire the immigrants because they show up. The so-called “Americans” blow off work, show up high, or get into fights.

The last thing you need in a meat plant is some high redneck around a grinder.

The deer that roam on my property are looking very nervous.

The ‘official’ language within the plant was probably Mandarin, hence the inability to understand for those folks who have learned a smattering of English while living in the USA.

“The CDC report says that at the Sioux Falls plant, which has a large immigrant workforce, some 40 different languages are spoken, with the top 10 being English, Spanish, Kunama, Swahili, Nepali, Tigrinya, Amharic, French, Oromo, and Vietnamese.”

I never heard of several of these languages.

Have some nations been emptied out completely because they are all over here now? I can’t believe what has happened to our country. We’ve exported millions of jobs and the jobs we can’t export, we’ve imported third-worlders to fill.

Open-borders types need to feel the pain.
