The Patriot Post® · Illegal Immigrants Replacing Americans in the Job Market in Three Easy Steps
President Donald Trump has noted over and over again that illegal immigrants are taking American jobs in the workforce. Instead of actually investigating his claims, legacy media focuses on his style and rhetoric because they know he isn’t wrong.
In 2024 alone, native-born Americans have lost 1.3 million jobs while foreign-born workers gained 1.2 million. Replacing American workers has been a simple three-step process that the Biden administration very publicly instituted.
The first step is the reclassification of illegal immigrants as “asylum seekers.” The State Department, with the assistance of NGOs operating at the southern border, provides traditionally classified illegal immigrants information needed to claim “asylum” status once they cross and encounter the U.S. Border Patrol.
An asylum seeker was traditionally defined as someone who has left their home country to seek protection in another country because they fear persecution or serious human rights violations in the country that was their home. Typically, an asylum seeker would travel to the next closest safe haven, but under the Biden administration, people come from all over the world and simply need to check the right boxes on forms to claim asylum here.
Easier yet, in January, the Biden administration set in place a program to fast-track 30,000 immigrants per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela — to, in their words, slow the illegal border crossings. They titled this “humanitarian parole.”
The second step is the free trip to small-town America that many of these new “asylum seekers” get. Springfield, Ohio, for instance, has a population of about 58,000 people. Over the past few years, roughly 15,000 Haitians mysteriously ended up there.
According to legacy media outlets like CNN, the Haitians just kind of ended up there because they could find jobs there. You know — because Haitians looked on a magical job board when they were seeking asylum and traveled north to a small town in a red state, as one does.
The third step to replacing Americans in the workforce is fast-tracked by something called the Tent Partnership for Refugees. The Tent Partnership is a public-private partnership Anthony Blinken’s State Department wherein the migrants are aided — by government funding — to find jobs quickly.
Many Americans who work at Tyson Foods plants have already learned about this the hard way. Utilizing the Tent program, Tyson intends to replace a majority of its American workforce with cheaper “asylum seeker” labor.
As of March 2024, over one-third of the meatpacker’s U.S. workforce, 42,000 out of 120,000, are immigrants. The spin on this is that Tyson is only hiring immigrants for jobs Americans “don’t want.”
Tyson claims that 40% of its factory workers leave every year, so it has to hire new people. What the company doesn’t add is that it saves a lot of money on this labor force by using the Tent program to bring in everyone BUT Americans. Tyson even brags about providing benefits like childcare, transportation, housing, and English classes to attract and retain these immigrant workers.
Tyson is one of dozens of companies participating in this program that’s replacing American jobs.
Chris Rhodes, the CEO of Veebs, a values-based shopping app, has been monitoring the Tent status of companies for years.
“Tent status has become a regular part of our formulas as it is a strong indicator of corporate behavior,” says Rhodes. “Veebs has researched many public-private partnerships and NGOs that also have connections to hundreds of companies and brands. These organizations are incredibly active on major social issues so they become one of the dozens of vectors analyzed by our scoring algorithms.”
The Veebs app allows users to quickly search for products or scan UPC codes to determine if the products they are shopping for align with their political beliefs. When I have the app set to match my conservative values, Tyson Foods scores nearly as low as possible with me, a 30 out of 100 — a.k.a. an ultra-liberal company.
And a big part of that is aiding the Left’s immigration policy.
