Tyson Foods is closing plants in Iowa, Virginia, Arkansas, Indiana, and Missouri

Angry shoppers are boycotting Tyson Foods products as the $53-million meat firm shutters plants in Iowa and elsewhere while hiring thousands of asylum seekers at job fairs in New York.

Campaigners are urging consumers to stop buying Tyson products amid its wave of closures of poultry- and meat-processing plants across Iowa, Virginia, Arkansas, Indiana, and Missouri.

They point to Tyson's efforts to hire thousands of asylum seekers in New York, offering $16.50-an-hour wages and free immigration lawyers, accusing the firm of ditching US-born workers for cheaper migrant labor.

America First Legal, a conservative action group launched by former Trump administration officials, warned Tyson that it could be breaking the law by favoring foreign-born workers over Americans.

'It is ILLEGAL under federal law to discriminate against American citizens based on their citizenship in favor of non-citizens of any kind when it comes to employment,' the legal action group posted online.

Tyson Foods, based in Springdale, Arkansas, which made $52,881 million in sales last year through its Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells, and other brands, did not answer DailyMail.com's requests for comment.

Any state in the country could solve the illegals problem in five minutes by making it a crime to employee them.

It already is a crime.

But it is one of those "selectively enforced" laws. As long as you give to the right causes you can be assured you will not be investigated.

“… avoiding their products is all but impossible.“

We wouldn’t have to avoid all of their products…just a lot of them.

It was Somalis then. Who knows what and from where now.

Around 2005 I was working for Dell Computers in Lebanon, Tennessee through a temp agency, happily getting recognized for my talent and eventually utilized as a final product tester. Then Michael Dell thought he'd be Willy Wonka and bring in his personal cadre' of Oompa Loompas - Somalians. Over a hundred all at once, maybe five of them spoke any English and ALL of them Muslim.

Hilarity ensued - not! The business model demanded absolute minimal time between all production stages with clockwork shipping and receiving. These walking scarecrows only observed time when it was Call To Prayers and demanded that be observed.

Dell adjusted schedules for them, gave them a huge room to pray in, altered the cafeteria procedures to insure "halal" and...threw in the towel when they demanded representation in administration.

Dell closed up the shop, fired everyone and moved his best people to North Carolina (I think).

Moral of the story: Only Willy Wonka can import Oompa Loompas successfully...and he's fictional.

If we had an honest Dept. of Justice, Tyson could not get away with this. Unfortunately, Biden’s DOJ is anything but honest.

Will definitely be avoiding those brands. I think this could have an impact if the news is spread widely enough.

Thanks for the sad tale of Dell. It’s just one of many. Whenever these companies try to placate and accommodate these invaders, they lose in the end. Instead of the foreigners assimilating to American work standards and policies, they demand, and are given special treatment. I was told a long time ago that you don’t do for one, what you can’t, or won’t do for all, but obviously that rule is unknown or practiced here today. I remember one meat packing company a while back, not sure if it was Tyson, Swift, or some other one, but they provided a special area so the muzzies could wash their feet, which is a ritual they partake in prior to praying while on the clock.

Congress could fix this by undoing the Federal meat inspection act.

Turn it back over to the states and watch a million local butcher shops bloom with farn direct meats and poultry.
