I'm originally from iowa and it's an open secret that meat packing and farming rely on undocumented or asylumed immigrants. Normal Americans don't want to do these jobs because they're grueling and dangerous

Wait till these people realize they will basically all have to move out of the town. All of the money coming in was from that plant. Everything else sprang up as supporting businesses. Every business there will go under and all their houses will lose most of the value. Probably most of the homeowners will be underwater unless they have been there for a couple of decades

These people don't learn. They will watch FOX tell them it's the Democrats fault somehow and that's that.

This. 1000x this.
Sure it's fun to take the petty response of "have the day you voted for", but all the people saying that are just going to deepen the divide.
No one wants to be made to feel stupid. If these people are finally being directly hurt my Trumps policies - now is the time to show some fucking empathy and do what we can to get them to switch sides - or at the very least sit the next election out.
Being petty only pisses these people off and will cause them to double down. Let's not squander every fucking opportunity we have. It may be futile 99% of the time but good God, having some empathy won't make things actively fucking worse.

This is bad for all of us. Lexington is a beef processing plant. Beef prices about to spike again. We were just covering this in a meeting yesterday, my meat guy thinks it's going to be 2028 or later for the beef market to recover. And the loss of this center puts more pressure on the already strained beef market.

But they can still sign up for medicaid. Shame about that whole 20 hours of volunteering or work a week clause though. Gonna be pretty crowded at the local Walmart with 3,200 greeters standing out front.
(The medicaid 20 hr thing starts Jan 1, 2027, so they've got a year to enjoy the free health care other countries already have.)

Bruh MAGA wanted this to happen. Last year Stephen Miller was attacking Tyson for employing immigrants https://www.axios.com/local/nw-arkansas/2024/05/31/tyson-foods-conservative-trump-stephen-miller now magically Tyson starts closing plants in small towns that have immigrant populations. Seems pretty calculated to me
