Meat processing plants like those owned by Tyson are in the amnesty bill

Americans won’t do those jobs, stout.

Remember, Glenn Valley Foods in Nebraska was raided June of last year and lost its workforce of 80+ and had like 400 American applicants waiting in line the next day?

The June 2025 raid at Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha, Nebraska, resulted in the detention of 76 employees. While there was an initial surge of job-seekers at the plant, reports that "400 Americans" lined up are inaccurate.

The actual events regarding the workforce and applicants unfolded as follows:

The Raid: On June 10, 2025, federal authorities raided the Glenn Valley Foods meatpacking plant, detaining 76 undocumented employees as part of an investigation into document fraud and stolen identities.

The Job Seekers: Two days after the raid, the waiting area at the plant did fill up with people filling out job applications. However, according to local news reports and the company's owner, most of these prospective employees were also Hispanic immigrants, not native-born Americans.

The Aftermath: Glenn Valley Foods was unable to sustain its workforce and production capacity. The company struggled to fill the physically demanding, cold-environment manufacturing positions and faced severe production drops.

Would you like to know more about the broader economic impact of this enforcement action on local Omaha businesses, or are you looking into general U.S. meatpacking labor statistics?

Sounds like they were paying pennies

It's idiotic how badly you defend letting people into the country to no end

My guess is that Green Valley was made an example of. A political shake down. Either pay for “protection” against ICE or lose your workforce. They didn’t pay and then the message was sent to them and any others that don’t want to play ball.

It's ‘almost’ like elected officials care more about political donations than votes.

Weird.

Would you or anyone on this board work at a meat processing plant? Just curious.

For these corporate employers having these foreigners is the next best thing to owning slaves. It a betrayal of American workers that needs to be stopped.

Lies. My uncle's worked in the IBP meat plant (now owned by Tyson) in the 1970s. The jobs paid dang good money.

In the early 1980s, IBP broke the union and now this is where we are today. They brought in cheap illegal labor to replace all the white laborers.

Americans not willing to do those jobs. Lies. Americans had been doing those jobs for over 100 years.

Unless we are willing to compromise, we will get nothing.
