TL;DR Summary

Tyson Foods' plan to hire 52,000 migrants to work at its factories after closing a plant in Iowa has sparked calls for a boycott. The company's move to hire asylum seekers in New York City has drawn criticism from conservatives, who argue that the company is prioritizing migrants over American workers. The announcement comes amid a drop in demand for some products and a surge in asylum seekers crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, prompting calls for tighter border security. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley expressed disappointment over the closure of the plant in Perry, Iowa, which is expected to shut down on July 28.
