Looks like woke Tyson Foods might want to rethink its suddenly newfound “America Last” policies.
A recent report from the Daily Mail illuminates just how richly deserving blowback can be, especially when companies steadily dismantle opportunities for Americans in favor of fueling illegal immigration.
As a result of such business “ethics,” at least one major fund has pulled its Tyson holdings.
Bill Flaig, who serves as CEO and co-founder of the $79 million American Conservative Values Fund (ACVF), recently delivered exclusive remarks to the Daily Mail, where he highlighted his deep disappointment with Tyson’s decision to hurt the American workforce in favor of illegals.
Flaig was none too pleased to learn that Tyson was laying off droves of Americans in its deranged bid to hire 42,000 “asylum seekers.
Indeed, as previously reported by the Daily Mail, Tyson recently announced plans to lay off more than 1,276 Americans in Perry, Iowa.
On top of that, the woke company has offered “free immigration lawyers” to the workers in addition to making a rather high hourly rate, almost all of which will be remitted out of the country.
One almost wonders if New York City Mayor Eric Adams is paying Tyson through some nefarious backchannel, given that so-called “asylum seekers” are being recruited in droves from New York City to work at the industrial food giant.
Regardless of whatever nefarious backdoor deals may be occurring, it is clear that Tyson is hardly concerned with the needs of Americans, but rather its simultaneous adherence to its bottom line and obvious brownnosing of the Biden administration.
So, Flaig made a simple business decision: Cut Tyson loose.
As Flaig neutrally details, Tyson’s decision to prioritize illegals over Americans “exposes their shareholders to backlash from one of the most contentious political issues of the day.”
“I’m not sure other institutional managers will follow boycotting Tyson, but politically conservative investors are becoming aware that they can fight the woke liberal takeover of America with their investments,” Flaig added.
Well, it would be amazing if other institutional managers did decide to follow in Flaig’s lead.
After all, that’s an ESG initiative that everyone should be able to get behind.
At bare minimum, major institutional investors should consider cutting Tyson loose if the company is later found to be in major legal trouble over its preferential hiring practices, chiefly by prioritizing illegals over Americans.
As detailed by America First Legal, a group consisting of officials from the Trump administration, Tyson’s brazen hiring practices may well be illegal.
“It is ILLEGAL under federal law to discriminate against American citizens based on their citizenship in favor of non-citizens of any kind when it comes to employment,” the group declared.
Hopefully, Tyson will incur more than sufficient blowback to ensure that its damage to border security does not continue.
