New York City shelters are overwhelmed with migrants. Many of them have arrived in Texas or Florida and then taken buses to New York, where shelter and benefits are guaranteed. However, the city is scrambling as the number continues to climb and the migrants look to build a new life in America, which includes housing and work. 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.

Isn't Tyson Foods the company that is investing big in producing bugs "for pet foods"?

Not American citizens - illegal immigrants. Who don't have permission to work in the US. Tyson needs to be cited for violating labor laws.

Definitely will not be buying any Tyson products. I refuse to support these woke corporations. How about hiring Americans who need and want work?! We need to have companies who are America First! How about starting that trend? Buy whatever you need right here in the USA to make your products. People will respond!

I saw no mention in the article about providing health care, education, and other public services for these now illegals. So I guess the taxpayers will be on the hook for those things. Then there is screening for communicable disease and criminal and/or terrorist backgrounds for these new 'employees'. I now have a new attitude towards Tyson, and it's not a favorable one.

They currently have 120,000 employees...this signals either a 50% increase in workers...or the replacement of them. In '94 they were indicted and charged with organized human smuggling operations all across the country, importing illegals, forging documents for them,...but....Clinton was "Their Boi" and when it went to Federal trial they were acquitted. Later in other lawsuits over amputations, workers safety, pollution, and covid infections/deaths...Eric Holder was their Lawyer. They are not just chicken anymore, they are beef, pork, turkeys and chicken, 20% of the US Meats market....6 million cattle, 10 Million hogs, Billions of chickens, they own Jimmy Dean, Smithfeild, YUM foods, provide all the meat to Wendy's, McD's, Burger king, Kroger, AP, Walmart.Pizza toppings for most chains...dozens of other brands(even used to own Sara Lee) 10 million acres of corn...

#15 Tyson will give the illegals a J.O.B. (just over broke) It's enough money to be called a job but the pay is low enough to qualify for ALL the gov't freebies for low income people. In my former life, I had a neighbor who worked for Home Depot. His pay was suppressed so he could qualify for lots of food stamps, Medicaid etc.

Tyson has lawyers who know that less than 10% of such “asylum seekers” who are all illegal aliens, will ever be found to be eligible for asylum in the USA by the immigration courts, as past history shows that about 90% of such “asylum seekers” do not have legitimate claims that would qualify them for grants of asylum in the USA in accordance with the US asylum and immigration laws. Tyson also knows that almost all “asylum seekers” are actually economic migrants who came into the USA unlawfully to get hired to US jobs which is in itself a violation of the US immigration laws. No doubt Tyson would be pleased as punch to hire tens of thousands of illegal aliens at a wage much lower than American workers could accept and still enable to maintain their customary US standard of living. The US Immigration laws currently allow US employers to petition to bring foreign workers into the USA and those laws allow such foreign workers, amounting to about a million and a half annually to enter and work indefinitely in the USA as legal immigrants. Tyson should petition for foreign workers in accordance with the law and not try to take advantage of the Biden created mass uncontrolled illegal immigration situation to hire tens of thousands of illegal aliens who amount to cheap foreign labor to the detriment of American workers.

The Tyson meat business model has been based on illegal aliens for decades now. Many cities in the rural midwest have various meat processing plants for cows, pigs and chickens, which are about 85-95% staffed by illegals. These have been intentionally located in rural areas where the local two bit politicians will easily be bribed by the increased tax revenues from a "big company" to look the other way on the increased crime, overloaded schools and ten to twenty illegal alien men living in a home zoned for single family homes. Tyson and the other meat packers get rich off of the backs of illegals, and they spend a LOT to buy local, state and national politicians to support their demands for cheap, foreign ILLEGAL labor.

I'll go along with this on ONE condition - EVERY individual they hire MUST be housed in the home of a CURRENT employ, starting with the CEO and the board of directors and working their way down. If they start with 'one 'newcomer' per household and run out of houses, you start at the top again by adding TWO new 'newcomers' to each house - I predict that is this is done, this whole idea will be ******** canned in a hurry !

"Asylum seekers"? We have gone through various euphemisms in the media from ILLEGAL ALIENS to "Illegal immigrant", to "undocumented immigrant" to "immigrant" to simply "migrant"-- I like what Rush Limbaugh used to describe this group-- "Undocumented Democrats" The meat packing industry regularly makes sweeps of the processing plants to round up these Illegals, but most of them are hard workers and not members of the criminal element that unvetted Illegals often are which poses a danger not only to American citizens, but National Security in general. Since we don't know much about them and they are getting "court dates" many years in the future, they will procreate new "14th Amendment" citizens and cannot be deported and will bring their families here through "chain migration". The time to dilly-dally is way OVER.

Toronto police sparked outrage after advising residents to leave their car keys at the front door and let thieves to take their vehicles. This shocking message comes as car thefts have soared by 150 percent over six years in Canada's largest city, forcing residents to hide their cars in secret locations and fortify them with round-the-clock security. [SNIP] Constable Marco Ricciardi addressed the issue and offered his controversial tip. 'To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door, because thieves are breaking into homes solely to steal cars.

The White House on Friday demanded Speaker Mike Johnson end his impeachment crusade against President Joe Biden, saying 'enough is enough.' 'The investigation has continually turned up evidence that, in fact, the President did nothing wrong,' White House counsel Edward Siskel wrote in a letter to Johnson. 'It is obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker. This impeachment is over.' The aggressive new tone from the White House comes as Republicans have essentially come to a standstill in their effort to impeach Biden. Johnson, who has a thin majority in the House, doesn't have the votes to impeach the president.

Yemen's Houthis have vowed to expand their attacks on international shipping and have claimed to have new hypersonic missiles that could dodge the West's defence systems. The Houthis having hypersonic missiles, if true, could raise the stakes in the ongoing attacks by the terrorist group on shipping in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways in protest of Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza. The new weapons - which could potentially evade the West's defence system due to their speed and maneuverability - were reported by Russian state media, which cited an unnamed official, but provided no evidence for the Houthi claim.

The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as 2 months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone under potential attack to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza. Nothing about this plan makes sense. The media has taken to falsely claiming that the Arab Muslims occupying parts of Gaza are starving.

The Biden administration's student loan bankruptcy policy is making it easier for borrowers to walk away from their debt, experts say. It was previously very difficult for Americans to part from their debt in court in a regular bankruptcy proceeding, but new rules are reportedly making this easier.
