Are Meat And Dairy Doomed Without Immigrant Labor?
This report reveals that U.S. animal agriculture relies heavily on immigrant workers. How did this situation come about, and what does it mean for immigrants, consumers, and advocacy?

In August 2019, Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided poultry processing plants in Mississippi owned by Koch Foods, in which 680 workers were detained on suspicion of being in the country illegally.

This case is not exceptional. Wherever you find industries with less desirable work in the U.S., you'll often find immigrant workers. It is therefore hardly surprising that the meat and dairy industries feature some of the highest shares of non-U.S. workers. These industries take advantage of the minor legal protections offered to immigrants to undermine their pay and working conditions. In other words: meat and dairy industries exploit immigrants.

Ironically, both industries also hinge on them. Meatpackers, butchers, animal caretakers, truck drivers ' these vacancies couldn't be staffed to capacity without immigrant workers. Indeed, foreign-born workers have become integral parts of U.S. meat and dairy production. This report explores the use of immigrant labor by the meat and dairy sectors.
