FACT FOCUS: Tyson Foods isn't hiring workers who came to the U.S. illegally. Boycott calls persist – The Mercury

Conservatives are calling for a boycott of Tyson Foods after false claims spread online that the company planned to hire 52,000 people who came to the U.S. illegally. But the company has no such plans. Tyson has committed to hiring 2,500 refugees in the U.S. over three years as part of a 2022 agreement. It requires all of its employees to be authorized to work in the country.
