There's a big pork plant in St Joseph MO that is currently staffed by over 50% non US citizens, the company helped build a housing community for these people which only serves to delay the assimilation of these foreigners into society.....and yes, the introduction of these foreign workers over the past 25 years in this pork plant has flat lined the hourly wages, particularly when inflation is factored in.

Raise your own meat if you area able. I don't mess with hogs currently, but I have beef cattle and I raise Cornish Cross meat chickens twice a year for slaughter.

My Moms hometown in SW Arkansas is mostly hispanic now, totally changed over a 20 year period due to chicken plant work.

Most of the businesses advertise in spanish. Its quite the change from the 80s and 90s.

Seriously, meat chickens are simple. Cornish Cross are bred to be slaughtered young. I do mine at 9-10 weeks.

I have a ground pen made of framed wood and chicken wire. Drag it to a fresh spot every few days and you're good to go.

They wouldn't be competing against slave wages if they weren't giving them to illegals.


I think we can all agree if the positions of lawyers, doctors, university professors, CPAs, CEO, CIO, CFO, etc. were being replaced with low salaried foreigners the Corporatocracy would shut immigration down to a trickle.

This is exactly why Georgia flipped blue. Chicken farmers and the carpet industry are highly dependent upon cheap immigrant labor.

Most of the jobs they are taking are from work release inmates or people who probably couldn’t get a job anywhere else. This is kind of a nothing burger

Except for the fact that those "work release inmates or people who probably couldn’t get a job anywhere else" are still in the country legally and were willing to do these jobs for a fair wage. They now cannot perform these types of jobs, and get to either rely on the government for more assistance or remain in jail.

For those on work release, they get to stay in the cell/gen pop during that time and potentially not gain new experiences for when they are released. Also, when they are released, it is usually on some sort of parole that requires them to maintain gainful employment; which those opportunities continue to be eliminated by hiring illegals.

We have plenty of citizens who SHOULD take these jobs… but won’t.

Let’s be honest. It’s not just a pay issue. At least part of the problem is 50 years of American parenting. We tell our kids that they’re too good for jobs like these. As a result, Americans are all “I’d rather be on welfare than reduced to handling chickens”.

My WI hometown is changing rapidly.

I'll probably be moving to Montana at some point.

Tyson is joining the nonprofit Tent Partnership for Refugees, which was founded by Chobani yogurt magnate Hamdi Ulukaya, with a plan to hire some of the 181,400 migrants that have come through New York City..." Simone Foxman & Ella Ceron The government claims they are bringing manufacturing back to the US but hiring illegals.

Actually, this exploits a loophole in US law that the republicans do not want to close. Asylum seekers are legally present in the US, and are granted work permits. So these wouldn’t be “illegal” immigrants. They are perfectly legal under existing US law, as enacted by Congress, and only Congress can change that law.

The US asylum laws have got to be changed. If republicans had any desire to close this loophole they can, right now. Republicans have never attempted to change the law to close the asylum loophole.

No, it's border security accepting any claim of "I fear for my life" at face value regardless of how ridiculous it is.

Same with Walmart distribution centers.

Some employee did a joke by doing an announcement over a loud speaker by saying that Ice has entered the building.

Some Hispanic workers ran outside behind the building.

Chickendale is little Mexico and Rogers isn't far behind.

The rich liberals in Bentonville don't like them and have been keeping them out.
