There is no reason to innovate when you have cheap labor, the decades of illegal labor have stifled innovation, a problem that is currently being solved by robotics, Ai, etc

How would less beef being processed bring the price down?

Less supply of any product traditionally means higher prices for that product on the market?


And would any of yall complaining about beaverpeeler hiring migrant workers go to work picking berries for him...and if so what pay woulld you want?

What do you think is a "fair" wage for Americans?

True

I have no affinity for Tyson but there is zero chance Americans will line up to cut meat if we deport all of the illegals. Some, maybe. But not all or even close.

It would cut into their internet time--among many other reasons.

Advocate for legal alternatives like bringing back the Bracero Program. Don't advocate for looking the other way for lawbreakers. It distorts our job market and incentivizes immoral behavior.

More laborers is easy. End welfare.

Many people on welfare ( actually most have jobs ) However, if these people even existed would they make good workers ( actually perform solid hard work)?

Capitalism would correct things and build. Socialism will continue to destroy.

…. If weren’t for all the immigration… we wouldn’t have so many mouths to feed

…. I’m sure we’d manage

Pa. has so many on Welfare, SSI and Medicaid that most are able bodied folks. Just lazy and know how to work the system.

We could fill all those vacant Tyson positions pretty quickly if these folks had to resort to full time employment. Problem is many choose a life of crime instead to supplement their steady Govt income.

Bob, can you point me to real, bonified statistics that support your claims?
Or are those things you say just your un-researched opinion?

Can do you one better, come to st cloud mn and I'll take you to apartment buildings where you can watch men stand around all day, day after day.

… you ought to just move to south or Central America instead of insisting on bringing them here …since you seem to be more into their culture than your own

… that’s right ! lol

The reason it's shutting down is because they can't get the cattle numbers to keep the plant profitable.

I have worked in a 4 county radius for many years. I have seen and interacted with several hundred of people in that category. Some I came to know fairly well over time.

A friend of mine worked and managed 3 offices of our State Dept of Public Welfare . She kept me abreast of such things.

Currently Pa. has 3 million or more on welfare, snap and medicaid recipients. Nearly 24% of our state population receives these state and federal benefits.

This represents millions of dollars paid out annually. This has been going on in our state for family generations for some of these folks. Many of these could work if they had too.
