Republican Senator J.D. Vance has fired back after it emerged that Tyson Foods is replacing American workers with illegal aliens.
Fox News anchor Jesse Watters reported that Tyson is shutting down its Iowa plant and killing 1,200 American jobs so it can shift operations to New York and hire illegal aliens instead.

Vance appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss his reaction to reports stating Tyson Foods hired thousands of migrants after they announced the closure of an Iowa plant.
Watters questioned the Ohio senator on whether it was legal for a company to “axe” American workers and instead hire migrants.
Vance warned that he will be looking into the situation with Tyson.
However, he called the move the “entire point” of illegal immigration.
Sen. Vance continued to slam American companies who are “replacing” U.S. citizens with foreign workers who are “willing to work at slave wages.”
He stated it was not capitalism or creating 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.
“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.”

As Tyson Foods has reportedly been struggling to fill unpleasant jobs, the company recently partnered with a nonprofit called Tent Partnership for Refugees.
The organization was founded by Chobani Yogurt CEO Hamdi Ulukaya, according to Bloomberg.
The company has already hired 42,000 immigrants.
However, the new partnership plans to hire some of the roughly 181,400 illegal migrants that have come into the New York City system over the last two years, the outlet reported.
