New York City shelters are overwhelmed with migrants...
But for companies like Tyson Foods Inc., struggling to fill unpopular jobs with a U.S. unemployment rate of 3.9%, this new population presents an alluring opportunity.
The food processing company wants to hire 52,000 asylum seekers for factory jobs, offering a starting wage of $16.50 per hour along with benefits. The company understands and is aware that these are jobs that many find unpleasant, such as washing meat, placing the cuts into trays, final inspections for bones and packing meat, but believe this will help the refugees to start a life in America.
For example, the company says that it has allocated $1.5 million a year for legal aid services and will be providing its new employees with temporary housing, on-site child care, transportation, a relocation stipend, and paid time off to attend court hearings and to adjust to their new homes.
The company joined forces with the nonprofit Tent Partnership for Refugees, a network of over 400 major companies committed to helping refugees find jobs, with the plan to hire as many people as possible from the more than 180,000 asylum seekers that have come through New York City’s shelter system. Tyson, for example, already employs about 42,000 immigrants.
According to an Economic Policy Institute analysis of federal data, about 50% of the labor market’s recent growth came from foreign-born workers between January 2023 and January 2024.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said last week that immigration and labor participation contributed to economic strength.
"The immigration that we saw was a notable factor of 2023 and 2024 economic outcomes, and of course we're aware of that, and it plays a role in our way of thinking about economic policy and in the path of the economy," Powell said.

Yes, they destroyed my Grandparents home town.
Oh, bull schiff.
What does that tell you about the quality of the asylum seekers?
Back in the day...wasn’t Tyson referred to as “Clinton Chicken”?
“Asslame” Seekers if you ask me.
Tyson hires cheap labor, offloafs costs to taxpayer: subsidized housing, healthcare, food stamps, schooling.
In ten years society will feel guilty that brown immigrants with poor English are living in generational poverty and try to boost their children with disguised affirmative action, and Tyson will need fresh immigrants.
After a brief fad, all those fake meat and fake hamburger companies have crashed and burned. No one wants that crap.
I will not buy their chicken or their grasshoppers.

The problem is they are burning and/or shutting down all the meat processing plants.
Tyson is shutting down meat plants and replacing them with bug plants.
Adios my misguided poultry oligarchs.
> But I guess it’s better to hire unvetted people who didn’t come to the country legally in the first place. <
Such people can be threatened, and bullied. I’m sure that’s super important to Tyson.

Ford sort of did the same thing in bending over.
And contagious disease-just who pays? How about polio and other horrid afflictions? It’s all coming. How much is infecting that chicken/goat/pork?
Yummy.
Is it legal for illegals to be lawfully employed? Don’t think so.
If they do this I STOP buying Tyson Chicken, period.
This is why the borders are wide open. Big business wants cheap labor. Well, it’s here. We either ship our job oversees or we keep them in the USA and staff them with foreigner’s. All thanks to the horrible people in DC. They have truly ruined our once great country.
It is all of them, believe me.
Purdue is no different.
good luck finding ones that want to work- Most of them- nearly 3/4 of them, want their $139,320 per year for doing NOTHING that NY is giving them-
When big corporations like Tyson pull these stunts-I will buy zip made by Tyson.
Isn’t that one of the main reasons they’re importing illegals ... cheap labor?
