Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance ripped food processing company Tyson Foods Thursday for replacing American workers with illegal aliens. Vance appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss his reaction to a report stating Tyson Foods laid off 1200 workers when they closed one of their plants in Iowa and then hired thousands of illegal aliens at slave wages. Jesse Watters asked Sen JD Vance if doing that is illegal to axe Americans and hire illegals.
Vance said he would be looking into that and then said that was the entire point of allowing so many illegals into the country. Grateful companies are sure to kick back a portion of their savings to Democrats. There have been a lot of calls to boycott Tyson products.
Vance said:
“Well, it shouldn’t be, Jesse. 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. 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. A reduces the wages of American workers by replacing American citizens with foreign laborers who are willing to work at slave wages. It has been the plan, as you said, from the beginning.”
“And what this means is the eradication of the American dream. Every time an American is replaced with an illegal immigrant, it means that an American family loses a good family supporting wage. It means that American companies are literally replacing our own citizens with people who work for slave wages. That is not capitalism or a market economy, Jesse. That is the decimation of the American middle class via illegal immigration and it’s happening all over the country.”
