I'd trust Jesse. But I also saw it on Townhall.

From your viewpoint, who would you trust? The mainstream media? Someone with a huge moniker like NBC, Fox, or the New York Times? And I think you'll find that accurate stuff can come from social media nowadays, in particular Twitter since Musk took over.

Anything and I mean anything that doesn't fit the liberal main stream medias narrative either goes unreported or spun in such a way to resemble something that does fit their narrative. Lots of good info on social media these days but you do have to be careful who you listen to.

Who was doing the work before the plant closing and resultant layoffs? Odds are near certain it was citizens. Ever seen Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs show?

I wouldn't ride them too hard, you would not believe how difficult it is to find people willing to work in a "chicken processing" plant. It's mind numbing work where just one slip means that your finger or hand is in a package of chicken breasts. Odds are near certain the ONLY folks actually willing to do this work are illegals.

There are 692 Virginians that got tossed aside last year because of this shit by Tyson's when they closed the Glen Allen plant saying, “inability to economically improve operations” is what forced them to close. Not a lot of illegals there, mostly blacks and single parents. I drive by the vacant building and wonder where those 692 are now employed.

It also impacted more than just the plant workers. In rural Virginia, 55 farmers across 13 counties with a combined 278 chicken houses are preparing to go out of business. One in particular had just invested $1.5 million in his operation and built 4 new chicken houses before the announcement to shutdown. Further downstream, we're losing grain producers and mills because there's no longer a need for them. Truck drivers also needed to find alternative employment.

How's that for it's just "illegals" that do the work?

We should ride the hard...REALLY Hard!
