Tyson Foods is following in the footsteps of leftist companies across the U.S., having recently fired more than 1,000 Americans from a pork plant in Iowa as the company employs illegal immigrants for other factory positions.
The food company recently announced it would fire nearly 1,300 American employees, some of whom, are legal immigrants, from its pork plant in Perry, Iowa. BizPacReview pointed out that the town is home to just 8,147 people and has little crime.
As Tyson Foods shuts down its factory in Iowa, the company is expected to open many job positions in New York and is reportedly seeking 52,000 illegal immigrants to be employed.
It has allocated $1.5 million annually to provide legal aid services to illegal workers, who will receive temporary housing, on-site childcare, transportation, relocation stipends and paid time off work to attend court hearings dealing with immigration.

While speaking to Fox Business, a spokesperson for Tyson Foods explained the companyâs decision to shut down the factory in Iowa.
âAfter careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our Perry, Iowa, pork plant,â the spokesperson told the outlet, adding that closing down the factory âemphasizes our focus to optimize the efficiency of our operations to best serve our customers.â
Fox Business noted that Tyson Foods is struggling as the company begins closing multiple of its facilities.
âIn 2023, Tyson Foods indicated six chicken processing facilities would close permanently, and more recently, the company added a pair of âcase ready value-addedâ beef plants to the list of closures, according to the companyâs first-quarter earnings report,â Fox Business wrote.
âThe shuttering of those facilities, which are located across six states, is meant to âoptimize asset utilization,ââ the outlet added.
During an interview with Reuters, Perry Mayor Dirk Cavanaugh said the pork plant is expected to close on June 28, 2024. He said such a move would devastate the community in Perry.
âItâs a big blow to the community,â Cavanaugh said. âItâs our largest employer in the area. Itâs going to be tough to figure out what to do without them.â
The food company has several other factories in Iowa that employ more than 9,000 individuals. In September 2023, Tyson Foods disclosed that it employed 139,000 workers, of which 114,000 worked in ânon-corporate sitesâ across the U.S.
