Tennessee town welcomed Tyson Foods plant after residents of Kansas town revolted

Tennessee town welcomed Tyson Foods plant after residents of Kansas town revolted

For those of you following news about BIG MEAT, here is a story you need to read in its entirety at the Tennessee Star (hat tip: Joanne).


Citizens of small town America are beginning to understand that the arrival of a BIG MEAT plant will change their towns forever, and they don’t like it!

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.fil...pg?w=366&h=229


Welcoming another Tyson Foods plant to Tennessee are Republicans—Governor Haslam in center and “Little Bob” second from left.

We told you about the town of Humboldt, TN welcoming a new Tyson Foods plant promoted by Tennessee governor Haslam and Senator “Little Bob” Corkerhere in early December, but this is fascinating news.


And, it is so exciting to see investigative reporting at its finest!
Tennessee Star:


The decision by Tyson Foods to open a meat-packing plant in Humboldt, Tennessee, welcomed recently by Gibson County Mayor Tom Witherspoon, came only after the facility was rejected by citizens in Tonganoxie, Kansas. The “big meat” company would have created approximately the same 1,500 jobs there that it says it will bring to rural Gibson County.


[….]


Reuters reported in November 2017 that the decision by Tyson Foods to switch over to Humboldt came only after “the No Tyson in Tongie” citizen-led opposition defeated a proposed Tyson plant in Tonganoxie, Kansas, a town not much smaller than Humboldt. Several Kansas state legislators also committed to opposing the proposed Tyson plant.

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.fil...pg?w=318&h=213Citizen opposition in Tonganoxie, KS was “staggering”

Citizen opposition in the “Tongie” area was described as “staggering,” Twilight Greenaway reported at Moyers & Company, the website operated by far left journalist Bill Moyers.


That opposition was fueled in part by the secrecy in which the deal was arranged between Tyson executives and local officials until it was finally made public in September, Greenaway reported:

[Read what he said about the secrecy surrounding the plans for the plant, here]


Greenaway’s accounting of the “No Tyson in Tongie” defeat of Tyson Foods acknowledged that the issue of “new comers” arriving for meat-packing jobs also concerned residents. Greenaway notes that “most meat processing plants are now staffed almost entirely by immigrant and refugee populations from places like Somalia, Latin America and South Asia.”


For any of you concerned about your heartland towns and what BIG MEAT will bring, please read the whole story, here.


“The Jungle” here we come!

I also have many posts on Tyson Foods. Don’t miss this one where we learned that Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (one of the nine federal contractors supplying cheap labor to meatpackers) has a sweet deal with Tyson.

Tyson Plant Rejected by Kansas Citizens, But Welcomed by Gibson County Mayor

The decision by Tyson Foods to open a meat-packing plant in Humboldt, Tennessee, welcomed recently by Gibson County Mayor Tom Witherspoon, came only after the facility was rejected by citizens in Tonganoxie, Kansas. The “big meat” company would have created approximately the same 1,500 jobs there that it says it will bring to rural Gibson County.




Witherspoon, elected as a Democrat in 2010 and 2014, is one of 45 county mayors who have endorsed GOP gubernatorial candidate Randy Boyd, the Knoxville businessman and former commissioner of the Tennessee Economic and Community Development Department.


Reuters reported in November 2017 that the decision by Tyson Foods to switch over to Humboldt came only after “the No Tyson in Tongie” citizen-led opposition defeated a proposed Tyson plant in Tonganoxie, Kansas, a town not much smaller than Humboldt. Several Kansas state legislators also committed to opposing the proposed Tyson plant.



http://tennesseestar.com/wp-content/...ug-Conrad_.jpgTaken around Sept 26, 2017 by Doug Conrad, and posted on Facebook.Citizen opposition in the “Tongie” area was described as “staggering,” Twilight Greenaway reported at Moyers & Company, the website operated by far left journalist Bill Moyers.



That opposition was fueled in part by the secrecy in which the deal was arranged between Tyson executives and local officials until it was finally made public in September, Greenaway reported:

The Tyson plant was also a long-kept secret with the code name Project Sunset. Local lawmakers were asked to sign nondisclosure agreements when considering welcoming it to town, and the company is said to have worked through intermediaries when negotiating with the landowner over the 300-acre lot it would occupy.


But once the deal was done and the plan was made public, word traveled fast, and residents of the town started a group called Citizens Against Project Sunset (CAPS) and threw up a “No Tyson in Tongie” Facebook group that swelled to over 5,000 members. By last Friday, 2,500 people had gathered in a city park to oppose the development.


Then, on Monday, the Leavenworth County commissioners had rescinded its offer to pledge $500 million in revenue bonds for the facility. The next day, Tyson sent a letter to the county announcing that it had put the plans for the plant on hold.

Greenaway’s accounting of the “No Tyson in Tongie” defeat of Tyson Foods acknowledged that the issue of “new comers” arriving for meat-packing jobs also concerned residents. Greenaway notes that “most meat processing plants are now staffed almost entirely by immigrant and refugee populations from places like Somalia, Latin America and South Asia.”


The Tennessee Star asked Center for Immigration Studies fellow Don Barnett, the longest-running and most prolific researcher and writer in the U.S. about the refugee resettlement program whose work has been cited in the Wall Street Journal, National Review, the Christian Science Monitor and Newsday, among others, “[h]ave you observed what, if any, influence jobs such as meat-packing have on the placement of refugees? Have you documented any demographic shifts/impacts in towns that have meat-packing plants?”


Barnett’s answer is consistent with the experience of towns, particularly small rural towns across the country:

Industrial scale meat packing plants always bring demographic changes to towns where they set up shop. It is very clear that, once illegal immigrant labor became less available, meat packers turned to refugee resettlement contractors to provide cheap, non-union labor.

Regarding the arrival of Somali refugees in Shelbyville, Tennessee to work at the Tyson plant there, Barnett referenced “news reports” that “the refugees were driven to Shelbyville from resettlement cities like Nashville by the refugee agencies. Later, some moved into apartments in Shelbyville, having first been resettled in other areas of the state.”

Tracking the refugee resettlement program in Tennessee, Barnett notes that after then governor Phil Bredesen withdrew the state from the refugee resettlement program, the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement designated Catholic Charities of Tennessee to continue bringing refugees to the state, and that as a consequence:

The numbers resettled in the state immediately went up by more than 70% and stayed higher even as the national quota drifted down. Also, there was less cooperation with legislators over answering questions about use of state and federal welfare services by refugees. The contractor would not even divulge the number of refugees that they planned to resettle in the state.


The contractor took over the role of state refugee coordinator. The role of the state refugee coordinator was supposed to be an employee of the state of Tennessee. Having the contractor in the position of oversight of the contractor’s activities is an obvious conflict of interest.

Citizen opposition to the Tyson plant in Tongie, Kansas, also focused on Tyson’s questionable history of environmental violations:

In April 2013, Tyson agreed to pay the federal government $3.95 million for violations of the Clean Air Act in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa — the four states that comprise Region 7 of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The violations involved eight different leaks of anhydrous ammonia, a poisonous gas. In 2006, a Tyson worker was killed as a result of one such leak in South Hutchinson, Kan. A similar leak in a Tyson plant in Omaha forced the evacuation of 475 employees.

There’s more. In 2003, Tyson pleaded guilty in federal court to 20 felony violations of the Clean Water Act. The company admitted it illegally disposed of wastewater at its Sedalia, Mo., plant over several years.
The improper disposal continued “in spite of the company’s assurances that the discharges would stop and even after numerous warnings, administrative orders, two state court injunctions, and the execution of a federal search warrant at the Sedalia facility,” the Department of Justice said.

Tyson paid a $7.5 million fine in that case. Ancient history? No. “The company has a staggering water pollution footprint,” the Environment America Research and Policy Center concluded just last year.

Questions were also raised regarding the impact on infrastructure like wear and tear on the roads, repair and maintenance of which in Tennessee, will now be taxpayer-funded with Haslam’s new gas tax.



Increases in school enrollment when new employees move to town and the make-up of new residents attracted by the jobs were also concerns. It wasn’t terribly long ago that residents in Emporia, Kansas experienced the impact of Somali refugees with latent TB moved by Tyson to work at the Emporia plant:

‘We got notified a day in advance that 70 Somalis were being transferred from a (Tyson Foods) plant in Nebraska,’ Hively recalled. ‘That 70 soon grew into 400, seemingly overnight.’
‘We literally had droves in our waiting room, waiting to see a public health official,’ Torres said.


Torres is the case manager for about 160 Somalis in Emporia who have been diagnosed with latent tuberculosis…
Latent TB, if untreated, can become active TB.

Just two years ago, the Wichita, Kansas school district appealed to the state for an additional $1 million dollars in extraordinary funding to meet the needs of the increased refugee student population.


More recently in October 2017, Kansas citizens organized against and defeated a proposed Tyson Foods plant to be located in Sedgwick County where Wichita is located.



Red flags thrown up by Kansas citizens and confirmation based on the experience of other small towns of the changes brought by the arrival of “big meat,” means that changes, while unknown at this time and at whatever cost, are headed to Humboldt, Tennessee with the arrival of Tyson Foods.



http://tennesseestar.com/2018/01/08/...-county-mayor/

We must end this eternally dumb, unnecessary and proven harmful and dangerous "Refugee Resettlement" program. The President must reduce new refugees to zero in September. He's done a good job reducing it but this program along with the eternally dumb Deferred Action, Temporary Protected Status and Asylum programs should be eliminated in their entirety.

Kansas citizens saw the light and knew what would be the outcome. Humboldt citizens will likely regret the transformation to their town.

Randy Boyd, a republican running for governor in Tennessee and endorsed by the democrat Mayor mentioned above, is nicknamed "La Raza Randy." He supports in-state tuition for illegal aliens and he has contributed money to those reportedly associated with George Soros, TIRRC ((Refugee Resettlement/Illegal Alien activist group), Linda Sarsour (Muslim activist who led the Women's March and who is reported to have possible terrorist ties).

BOYCOTT TYSON

It's not the industry that's the problem. It's the federal government and this eternally stupid refugee program. End the program, deport the refugees, return them to their home countries, and tell Tyson to Hire American or you'll put them behind bars.

Yeah, the Refugee Resettlement Program is a Globalist FARCE against the people of the United States. It must be terminated in its entirety. SHUT IT DOWN.

Get all these people out of here and back to their home countries. Tyson is from Arkansas, they know better than this. Stop buying their chicken and they'll get the message. We don't want our water or our work force polluted. GET IT TYSONS?? Now fire the idiots working for your company who engineered hiring foreign workers in these plants instead of Americans and thought polluting our streams and rivers was okey dokey, because none of it is. You abide our Clean Water Act with diligence and when you screw up you fix it immediately and fully and you stop hiring foreign workers to process your "meat".

Tyson Plant Reinstates Labor Day


Tyson Plant Reinstates Labor Day

By Steven Greenhouse
August. 8, 2008




Facing criticism for negotiating a contract that substituted a Muslim holiday for Labor Day as one of the plant’s eight paid holidays, Tyson Foods and the union at its poultry plant in Shelbyville, Tenn., said Friday that they had agreed to reinstate Labor Day as a paid holiday.


In a contract reached in November, the union, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, persuaded Tyson Foods to agree to let the Muslim holiday, Id al-Fitr, replace Labor Day as a paid holiday because many Somali workers at the plant wanted that day off. Of the plant’s 1,000 unionized workers, at least 250 are Somali.


After a Shelbyville newspaper wrote about that contract provision last week, many anti-immigrant groups and conservative bloggers called for a boycott of Tyson, saying the contract betrayed an important American holiday and was an improper concession to Islam.


In a news release on Friday, Tyson said it had asked the union to revise the plant’s contract and restore Labor Day as a paid holiday because some Shelbyville employees had expressed concern about the contract’s provisions.

The revised contract again makes Labor Day a paid holiday but also keeps Id al-Fitr (pronounced eed-al-FIT-tr) — which marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting — as a paid holiday for those who want it. The Muslim holiday will replace a paid personal day. Under the revised agreement, employees who do not want Id al-Fitr off can continue to take a paid personal day of their choice.

“The union is pleased that the will of the workers in Shelbyville to observe and celebrate Id al-Fitr will be guaranteed as a paid holiday,” said Stuart Appelbaum, the union’s president.

Tyson Foods changing America one town at a time; up next Humboldt, TN

Posted by Ann Corcoran on December 1, 2017

This time with the help of Tennessee Governor Haslam and Senator (Little Bob) Corker.

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.fil...pg?w=602&h=339Tennessee Republican Governor Haslam gives big wet kiss to Tyson Foods!

As you know BIG MEAT and BIG CHICKEN are major drivers of the US Refugee Admissions Program and here we learn that Tyson Foods new plant in Humboldt, TN will employ 1,500 workers.


But get this: the pols admit that unemployment is really low, so where might those workers, who will do mostly dirty jobs, come from?

You guessed it! Immigrant and refugee labor will soon be streaming into a town of less than 9,000 people!
And before I get to this really bad news for the citizens of Humboldt, this gives me another opportunity to show you the direct connection between giant global corporations like Tyson Foods (JBS Swift and Chobani too) and the federally funded refugee ‘religious’ contractors placing refugees secretly in to American towns. See Lutherans sign deal with Tyson Foods!

Now to Tyson Foods’ new deal in Tennessee…..

From the Commercial Appeal (hat tip: Joanne):

Tyson Foods will build a new chicken production complex in Humboldt — 75 miles northeast of Memphis — that will employ 1,500 people, company and government officials announced Monday. [Memphis is the closest refugee placement office to Humboldt, but the feds and Catholic Charities could expand to Humboldt as has happened in other states to accommodate meatpackers.—ed]

The $300 million project is to start operations in late 2019 to meet what Tyson described in a release as “strong consumer demand for its chicken.”

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.fil...pg?w=356&h=267


It is historic alright. The town will be changed demographically forever!

The new plant in Humboldt will make pre-packaged trays of chicken for retail grocery stores nationwide and is expected to process 1.25 million birds per week, according to the company.

“This is an historic day for Humboldt, Gibson County and West Tennessee,” Humboldt Mayor Marvin Sikes said in a prepared statement. “I want to thank Tyson Foods for their commitment to our community and region. The significant job creation and capital investment that will result from this project will have a positive impact on our community that will last for many years, and I could not be more excited about the future of Humboldt and Gibson County.”
[….]

Plant will employ 1,500 people

Tyson Foods picked West Tennessee over potential sites in other states.


Gov. Bill Haslam said in a prepared statement, “The new facility will be Tyson’s fifth location in Tennessee and it means a great deal that a company of this magnitude will continue to grow its footprint in our state. I appreciate Tyson for its continued commitment to Tennessee and for helping us become one step closer to our goal of making Tennessee the No. 1 location in the Southeast for high quality jobs.”


Then here at The News and Observer we learn….

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.fil...pg?w=366&h=230

That is “Little Bob” Senator Corker. I had to laugh though in this story they have him identified as a lowly Congressman. Imagine if Trump had picked him to head the State Department—can you say fox in the chicken house! http://www.wenkwtpr.com/2017/11/21/t...-jobs-in-area/

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and U.S. Sen. Bob Corker attended the news conference and praised Tyson for choosing Humboldt, a rural city of about 8,200 people located about 85 miles (135 kilometers) northeast of Memphis. Tennessee competed with other states for the project. Doug Ramsey, group president of poultry for Tyson, would not discuss which other states were in the mix.

[….]

Haslam said that while unemployment in Tennessee is low — at 3 percent as of September — “it’s no news that some of our rural counties have struggled.” He called the plant a “big deal” for the state.


So, if the unemployment rate stands at 3%, where are the workers going to come from? It might be a financial big deal for bigwigs and assorted hangers-on, but not for the citizens of Humboldt!

Tyson currently operates four facilities in the state, employing about 5,000 people. The company says it paid Tennessee farmers more than $61 million in the 2016 fiscal year.

The announcement marks the second major economic development project Tyson has begun this year in Tennessee. In August, the company announced an $84 million expansion of operations in Union City. That project is expected to create about 300 jobs.

The company’s portfolio of products includes Tyson chicken, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm and Ball Park.

I think we all need to start making a list of the products companies that employee foreign workers (whose salaries we supplemented with our tax dollars) are producing and become more discerning shoppers.


See my ever expanding file on Tyson Foods, here. Don’t miss posts on Shelbyville, TN where Tyson Foods initially succumbed to pressure to dump the Labor Day holiday in exchange for a Muslim holiday for its workers.
And, definitely don’t miss: BIG MEAT squawks when Trump lowered refugee ceiling, here. Or tiny Nebraska town defeats BIG CHICKEN, here.


Wonder why the Heritage Foundation completely missed the boat and never looked at the impact of global corporations and refugee labor on American towns in their supposed “roadmap for reform” plans for the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program?


Could it be because powerful Republicans are pushing for migrant labor for their big business donors?

Tyson Foods Shelbyville, TN: all sorts of goodies to get and keep immigrant labor

Posted by Ann Corcoran on March 1, 2012


This is the first in what will be many posts in my new category‘ Legal immigration and jobs.’ In fact, it’s this piece of information, now mysteriously missing from the US State Department’s website, that inspired this new category.


Clinton brings cheap refugee labor to Iowa


I’ve reported on this many many times on these pages. I think the first time was when I wrote about the Clinton Administration acting as employment head hunter and dropping off thousands of Bosnian refugees in Iowa for the big meatpacker—IBP, here. (Tyson Foods bought IBP in 2005). That was such an eye-opener! The Clinton Administration was solving an employment problem for big beef by bringing 6000 Bosnian “refugees” to Iowa in 1995. And, Clinton, I am guessing, got a few benefits for his campaign war chest. S**** Iowa and American workers! Remember Hillary had that little lucrative connection to Tyson Foods too.


BTW, a former employee of Tysons told me that at one time these meatpackers paid very good wages and Americans were eager to do the work.


Cheap labor to Shelbyville, TN


Now jump forward in time to Shelbyville, TN last month. I reported that acting Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration, David Robinson, presided over a mission to Tennessee to ascertain just how things are going in the only state in the nation to pass a law to try to get the refugee flow under control. (Although readers should know that Wyoming doesn’t participate in the refugee program for some unexplained reason). Please read previous posts here on the visit to Tennessee.


After returning to Washington, Robinson penned a glowing piece about how great the refugee program is (wow! three million since 1975!) that was published at the Huffington Post. But, keep in mind that Robinson is also the author of this ten-year-old report on how the program has been misused (to the detriment of the taxpayers and to the so-called refugees themselves!).


Here then is what Robinson said about Tyson Foods in an e-mail whichoriginally was linked here at the State Department website (if you click on the link it is gone now):


In Tennessee, I heard firsthand the commitment of businesses to making
refugee resettlement successful. Tyson Foods support to refugees is
remarkable: $100,000 per year for on-site ESL, $3,500 per year for
college costs, 100% reimbursement for naturalization applications,
full-time interpreters on site, financial assistance, on-site banking,
and tax preparation services, all of which demonstrate why the company
had only a 12.5% turnover last year and has proven to be such a strong
example of leadership in integrating refugees, not just into their new
community, but into the wider U.S. economy.


WTF! So, let’s see, the town of Shelbyville has been roiled by controversy for years over the arrival of demanding, culturally challenging Somali refugees obviously lured by Tyson Foods with all sorts of special deals for them. And, I am still working on finding out exactly what the tax benefits are to Tyson Foods for hiring LEGAL IMMIGRANTS (instead of Americans) in the first place.


Click here to see what we get so Tyson Foods can have cheap labor. I wonder does David Robinson sleep at night? Never mind Robinson, how do you resettlement industry “church” people, in bed with big business and selling out small town America, sleep?


And, to top it all off, anyone who questions these arrangements, any taxpayer who doesn’t want to subsidize this deal, is promptly labeled a racist, xenophobic hater! What a racket they have!




More Tyson News:

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wor...?s=Tyson+Foods

Perdue and Sanderson Farms are very nice alternatives to Tyson's. I think Perdue is diligent in their environmental and labor activities and so is Sanderson to my knowledge. Sanderson has been rejected by some towns because of fear of environmental issues, but to my knowledge, no actual problems, just the fear of it possibly happening and different sites have different vulnerabilities.

Epic trial taking shape in Tennessee for 23 Somalis charged in sex trafficking case

Posted by Ann Corcoran on February 28, 2012


By all accounts it could be the largest trial in Tennessee history. And, what has everyone surprised is that none of those who will stand trial in Nashville next month have cracked and asked for a plea bargain.


We first reported this story here in November 2010 and more recently here.


From The Tennessean:


Nearly two dozen defendants accused of participating in an interstate sex trafficking ring are scheduled to go before a federal jury next month in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest — and most unusual — trials in Middle Tennessee history.
In an era when limited resources and risk aversion have resulted in a dramatic rise in the number of cases that end in plea agreements rather than jury trials, not even one of the 30 defendants in the case has agreed to plead guilty, setting the stage for a massive trial in downtown Nashville that is raising a variety of issues both legal and logistical.


Twenty-nine people, mostly Somalis from the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, were charged in November 2010 with running a prostitution ring that sold Somali girls as young as 12 years of age in cities including Nashville. A 30th defendant was indicted in May 2011. In addition to sex trafficking and conspiracy, the defendants also are accused of alleged crimes such as credit card fraud and burglary.

Somalis don’t rat on each other so many believe that is what is keeping any of them from cracking. Actually I’ve followed lots of Somali crime stories in different locations throughout the US and Canada and it is this African cultural practice that has made it so difficult for law enforcement to solve crimes involving Somalis. Remember they didn’t grow up with the same prohibitions about lying that those of us who had a Judeo-Christian upbringing have been taught. Frankly, they lie.
Observers are chalking up the lack of plea agreements in the case to a number of factors.

“The Somalis have a cultural thing about testifying against each other,” said former U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee Ed Yarbrough, who agreed that the trial is on course to be the largest, in terms of the number of defendants, in Nashville history. “I think it’s cultural. That’s what I’ve been told.”

Read the whole story, but this last paragraph shows us again that even while on trial they are whittling away at our judicial system.

The trial, expected to last months, will require modifications of Haynes’ courtroom to ensure there is enough space for the defendants and attorneys. The judge also has granted the defendants’ request to take breaks consistent with Muslim prayer times.
Yes, indeed! I expect they will put on quite a show in the good judge’s courtroom.

Do Arkansas college students understand that refugees are there to supply Tyson Foods with cheap labor?

This is a screenshot so links are not hot.

Canopy NWA is a relatively new subcontractor (as noted by Mr. Komar above) of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS), their ‘mothership’ headquartered in Baltimore, MD. We told you about Canopy here last October.

We told you here this October, on October 24th, that LIRS has signed a contract with JBS Swift the foreign-owned globalist meatpacking giant whose North American headquarters are in Greeley, CO to find, and help them retain, cheap and compliant refugee labor for its plants in four states.

But that isn’t the only arrangement that LIRS has made with globalist corporations—they have an agreement with Tyson Foods whose headquarters are in guess where? Arkansas! (Original home of Bill and Hill and cattle futures—remember that!)

We were able to obtain this confirmation, that yes, LIRS, has a deal with Tyson Foods for a $50,000 pilot project to teach “financial literacy” to refugees, whatever the heck that means!

Subject: Tyson Foods–good news!

Dear Linda,
This evening we received some good news from Tyson Foods regarding our proposal for a pilot financial literacy project in northwest Arkansas/Missouri. Our proposal was accepted and we will be moving forward with Tyson. This is incredible news for LIRS because the clear goal of Tyson Foods is to provide financial literacy in all of their plants and to all of their team members (over 10,000) nationwide.
To quote Tyson:

“We are pleased to announce that your organization has been selected as our financial literacy award recipient. We want to formally congratulate your team on an exceptional proposal. In particular, we were impressed with the cultural and gender sensitivities it included, the overall structure of your pilot, and the local partnership networks you were able to identify. We were also encouraged to learn about your organizational experience working with one of our major competitors – JBS. We hope this will give LIRS insight into our specific industry and will help you maximize programmatic traction early on.”

Our proposal would not have been possible without Kirsten’s singular efforts, and finance’s inputs. Also, Canopy of NWA, LFS-RM, and LSS-MN played roles.
Thank you,

Nina

LOL! I can’t help but wonder if this isn’t a small price to pay for Tyson Foods to have an inside track with a resettlement contractor who might then alert them to fresh batches of refugees (aka laborers) entering the US.
By the way, I did try to reach Ms. Zelic by e-mail, but never got a response perhaps because we hear the Baltimore office is going through some tough times?

So, would someone please tell those well-intentioned students that they are shilling for the globalists—-BIG MEAT! (and BIG CHICKEN!).

Do none of the privileged students at the University of Arkansas have friends back home who would love to work in a meat plant for good wages—the kind of wages meatpackers did pay before they discovered immigrant labor?

This is an old story (17 years) but shows Tyson has a history of going to extremes to hire cheap labor! If they can't beat the system on way, they'll figure out another way to do it.

"Tyson Foods Indicted in Plan To Smuggle Illegal Workers

By DAVID BARBOZADEC. 20, 2001

Tyson Foods Inc., the nation's largest meat producer and processor, was indicted yesterday with six employees on charges that it conspired to smuggle illegal immigrants across the Mexican border to work in its processing plants.

The 36-count indictment, which was unsealed at Federal District Court in Chattanooga, Tenn., accuses Tyson of arranging to transport illegal immigrants across the border and of helping them to get counterfeit work papers for jobs at more than a dozen Tyson poultry plants.

The government said it was the largest case brought against a major American company involving the smuggling of immigrants.

The indictment said that six Tyson employees, including two executives, participated in the actions and that the company engaged in the practices to cut costs, meet production goals and to maximize profits. The company could face sanctions and large fines if found guilty; the workers could face prison terms.

Tyson, based in Springdale, Ark., disputed the government accusations that a corporate conspiracy took place. In a statement, Tyson said the government case involved a handful of managers who had been operating outside of company policy and that the six employees charged had been dismissed or placed on administrative leave.

The indictment, however, charges that Tyson had a corporate culture that condoned such behavior.

The indictment could result in sharp changes for food processors who have come to rely heavily on immigrant labor. ''This is bound to send a chill through the industry,'' said John Lawrence, a professor of agriculture at Iowa State University and an authority on the meat industry. ''The question is, How involved are some of these companies in the recruiting?''

The indictment comes just months after Tyson, which has its roots in the poultry business, acquired I.B.P., the nation's largest beef processor, in a deal that created a $20 billion company that dominates the meat counter at supermarkets and is a leading supplier to fast-food restaurants like McDonald's and Burger King.

Tyson is on probation after pleading guilty in 1997 to making illegal gifts to Mike Espy, the former agriculture secretary. The government said that if Tyson was found guilty of conspiring to recruit illegal aliens, it could face more sanctions in the Espy case.

Barry Levine, a lawyer for Tyson, said yesterday that it would demonstrate in court that executives in Springdale had no knowledge of the recruiting of illegal immigrants.

''No one in the corporate offices knew of this,'' Mr. Levine said in a telephone interview.
The government said that a 30-month investigation, led by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, found that about 15 Tyson plants in 9 states were involved in a conspiracy from about 1994 to 2001.

Along with the company, the government charged two Tyson executives, Robert Hash, a vice president in Springdale, Ark., and Gerald Lankford, a human resources manager, with defrauding the government by conspiring to recruit Mexican and Central American immigrants along the United States border with Mexico and by helping them obtain illegal documents like fraudulent Social Security cards.

Mr. Hash and Mr. Lankford, who supervised Tyson poultry plants, including one in Shelbyville, Tenn., where the investigation was centered, were unavailable for comment yesterday. Tyson said both had been placed on administrative leave, pending a decision.

The indictment said that, to meet production and profit goals, Tyson officials would contact local smugglers near its plants to get more workers.

The recruiters would contact with smugglers in Mexico, who would round up people willing to work for Tyson, the indictment said. Tyson officials would then arrange to meet the workers along the border, the government said, and transport them to meat processing plants.

The government said that Amador Anchondo-Rascon, a Mexican resident and United States citizen who once worked in the Tyson plant in Shelbyville, was a recruiter and smuggler of illegal workers and that he arranged transportation and trafficked in illegal documents. Mr. Anchondo-Rascon, who the government said referred to himself as the ''Jefe de Jefes,'' or the boss of the bosses, was a primary contact for Tyson officials seeking new workers, the authorities said. He was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the case but the government did not say why.

Mr. Anchondo-Rascon arranged to have illegal immigrants picked up just across the Mexican border, the government said, and to have them transported to Tennessee, Virginia, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas and elsewhere.

The government said hundreds of illegal immigrants were hired in this way, and that Tyson often paid $100 or $200 per head to smugglers. The illegal workers were also expected to pay a fee to the smugglers, the authorities said.

In one instance, the government said, a smuggler for Tyson paid another smuggler $3,100 for delivering seven illegal aliens from Guatemala to the Shelbyville plant, though only five got jobs with Tyson.

Tyson officials have long argued that they do not traffic in illegal workers. In a 1996 news release, the company said: ''The consequences of knowingly hiring illegal workers are quite simply too high for us to hire people without proper documentation.'' The company said almost all immigrant laborers come to the company as a result of word-of-mouth from friends and families, not recruiters.

In the indictment, the government said that at a 1998 meeting at the company's headquarters in Springdale, a human services manager told human resources officials, ''Never, ever, admit hiring illegals.''

The government said it found documents that showed payments from Tyson to smugglers, and indications that the company used temporary employment agencies to cover up actions. Tyson officials said yesterday that they recently reviewed company practices and dismissed workers without proper documentation.

Other big meat processors have long denied that they knowingly recruit or hire illegal workers. And many companies say they are in a bind because if they press workers on their documents they are accused of harassing immigrants and accused of civil rights violations.

''We would like to hire legal workers, but it's very difficult,'' said Janet Riley, a spokeswoman for the American Meat Institute, which represents some of the largest meat processors. ''It's difficult to get verification and there could be civil rights issues.''

Some labor organizations, though, have been pressing the government to stop taking action against undocumented workers and instead go after companies for recruiting and hiring them at low wages for work in hazardous jobs.

''We have been saying for a long time that they induce workers to come here from Mexico and Central America with false promises,'' said Greg Denier, a spokesman for the United Food and Commercial Workers, which represents meat packing and retail food workers. ''Some are told they'll be given papers. This is a cross-border trade in human flesh.''

Mr. Denier added that his union would like to legalize the status of many of the undocumented workers already in the United States and to improve working conditions at meat processing plants, where injuries often occur and where turnover rates are high."

Employer raids would be a way to identify illegal labor. They have a sketchy past on immigration it appears.
