Republican Senator J.D. Vance has fired back after it emerged that Tyson Foods is replacing American workers with illegal aliens.
Fox News anchor Jesse Watters reported that Tyson is shutting down its Iowa plant and killing 1,200 American jobs so it can shift operations to New York and hire illegal aliens instead.

Vance appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss his reaction to reports stating Tyson Foods hired thousands of migrants after they announced the closure of an Iowa plant.
Watters questioned the Ohio senator on whether it was legal for a company to “axe” American workers and instead hire migrants.
Vance warned that he will be looking into the situation with Tyson.
However, he called the move the “entire point” of illegal immigration.

He stated it was not capitalism or creating a market economy.
