No lack of applicants to replace the irreplaceable illegals.

Let the American work

================================

"The primary argument among progressives on the issue of mass deportations is that "criminals are fine" but kicking Pedro the farm worker or Juanita the waitress back to Mexico is unacceptable because they are doing jobs that native born Americans refuse to do."
The company is now engaged in a hiring frenzy and they are getting a positive response. Despite his claim that manufacturers will collapse without migrants, Rohwer admitted that the packing plant immediately received over 100 new applications and only five of the potential employees are immigrants. That's right, the illegals were stealing jobs from native born Americans who were willing to work.

Workers on the production line at Glenn Valley Foods earn $18 to $19 an hour, Rohwer says. How much the illegal workers were getting paid is not known, but on average migrants work for 30% less in any given industry, driving down wages for Americans and undercutting employment opportunities.

Do you understand that this is opinion masking as journalism?
Whatever fact may exist in the piece, it attempts to generalize without evidence to support that generalization.

A crap zero sighting. How nice. I'm sure it's totally true and accurate.

🤣

Let's compare the Zero Hedge article with the article it's quoting:

ZeroHedge: Despite his claim that manufacturers will collapse without migrants, Rohwer admitted that the packing plant immediately received over 100 new applications and only five of the potential employees are immigrants.

Wall Street Journal: Rohwer is now trying to get operations back to normal and bring on new workers. He said he received more than 100 applications in the aftermath of the raid, and had begun hiring some. All but about five of the new applicants are immigrants.


Now, the real question is this - is "Tyler Durden" illiterate, or is he just counting on his readers being too stupid to check?

It is Zero Hedge.
Stupid readers are what they count on.
 

ZeroHedge as a source.....

Overall, we rate ZeroHedge an extreme right-biased conspiracy website based on the promotion of false/misleading/debunked information.

No, they aren't. Tyler Durden lied to you, or just dropped the ball on the whole "reading comprehension" thing.

Only 5 "Americans" applied for a job at Glenn Valley Farms.
 

From the article you quoted:

The company is now engaged in a hiring frenzy and they are getting a positive response. Despite his claim that manufacturers will collapse without migrants, Rohwer admitted that the packing plant immediately received over 100 new applications and only five of the potential employees are immigrants. That's right, the illegals were stealing jobs from native born Americans who were willing to work.

What the owner actually said, which is easy to read for yourself once you actually clink on the link to the MSN article:


Rohwer is now trying to get operations back to normal and bring on new workers. He said he received more than 100 applications in the aftermath of the raid, and had begun hiring some. All but about five of the new applicants are immigrants.

Does ZeroHedge not understand the difference between "only" and "all but"? Guess English ain't that rag's first language. Tell ZH's editor to learn how to read and write American, and in the meantime, Send ZeroHedge back!

My only quibble is that it's not an "MSN" article, it's a WSJ article. MSN is just an aggregator.

Wow! Craphedge is a lying sack of shit rag.
 
What happened to all the product shortages with nobody to pick the crops? LOL. Regardless of the plight of the illegal immigrants, REAL AMERICANS deserve at least a fair opportunity for employment at a living wage not undercut by cheap illegals who will work for less. If the companies have to raise prices for their products then so be it. If companies have to shrink to be profitable then so it. I think you'll find that once American workers get the respect they deserve they can be good productive workers and positive members of society.

Key phrase in the linked article: “how much the illegal workers were getting paid is not known…”. And then of course, it’s Zero Hedge.

The minimum wage in Nebraska is currently $13.50/hour, but will be $15/hour as of 1/1/2026. These seem like fairly hard jobs paying little more than the state’s minimum wage, thus aren’t apt to attract and retain workers who have other employment opportunities.

"Americans Filled Jobs at Glenn Valley Foods Two Days After ICE Arrested at Least 70 Illegal Immigrants in Raid

Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applications early Thursday afternoon, two days after the meatpacking plant became the center of the largest worksite immigration raid in the state of Nebraska so far this year.
The scene gave the company’s president, Chad Hartmann, a glimmer of hope amid the chaos that ensued after Tuesday’s raid purged roughly half of his staff"

A single story originating from one of the very worst sources is a piss poor argument.

An Instagram post isn't a source, and no, 'credit CBS' doesn't count. @TheDoctorWasIn and I already thoroughly discredited the OP. The Instagram post uses the same bullshittery tactics.

The problem is that MAGA pushes misinformation, and they do it because they know that you and @VySky don't have enough media literacy to figure out that you're being bullshitted.

But I suspect the deeper problem is that you don't really care. You seek media that confirm your biases, so it doesn't matter if we prove that you've been lied to because your bottom line is that you don't want migrants here. It doesn't matter what the real-world consequences of removing them are. That's not your bottom line.

That's fine. But just come out and admit it. You don't need a cite for that.
