Republican Senator J.D. Vance responded strongly to the news that Tyson Foods is replacing American workers with illegal aliens. According to Fox News anchor Jesse Watters, Tyson is closing its Iowa plant, resulting in the loss of 1,200 American jobs, in order to relocate operations to New York and employ undocumented immigrants.
Vance made an appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to share his thoughts on the reports about Tyson Foods hiring thousands of migrants following the closure of an Iowa plant. During the interview, Watters asked the Ohio senator about the legality of a company laying off American workers and opting to hire migrants instead.
Vance expressed his intention to investigate the matter involving Tyson. He characterized the decision as the primary objective of illegal immigration. Senator Vance criticized American companies for displacing U.S. citizens with foreign laborers who accept low wages. He emphasized that such actions do not align with capitalist principles or the establishment of a market economy.
“Well, it shouldn’t be, Jesse,” he said.
“We’re certainly going to look into whether we can change that, assuming Tyson is operating legally – which we don’t even know if they are.“We don’t know the details of this,” Vance stated.
“All we know, Jesse, is that they are firing American workers and hiring illegal aliens to replace them.
“This is the entire point of illegal immigration and Republicans, we’ve got to hammer this point home.”
