Ugh...
Blood puddles, mold, tainted meat, bugs: Boar’s Head inspections are horrifying
Federal inspections found 69 violations—many grisly—at the Boar's Head meat facility at the center of a deadly, nationwide Listeria outbreak that has now killed nine people, sickened and hospitalized a total of 57 across 18 states, and spurred the nationwide recall of more than 7 million pounds of meat.
Massive nationwide meat-linked outbreak kills 5 more, now largest since 2011
The Jarratt, Virginia-based facility had repeated problems with mold, water leaks, dirty equipment and rooms, meat debris stuck on walls and equipment, various bugs, and, at one point, puddles of blood on the floor, according to inspection reports from the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Services. The reports were obtained by CBS News through a Freedom of Information Act Request. In all, the reports outline 69 violations just between the dates of August 1, 2023, and August 2, 2024.There's more disgusting stuff at the link.

Ew. How to kill a popular brand. I've had Boars Head pancetta in my freezer as long as I can remember.

What’s her evidence that the quality control problems have anything to do with hiring refugees?

Are any of the victims illegals?
Is this what we do now? Something bad happens, blame it on immigrants.
Maybe if the company paid people better they could get some clean Americans to work for them. Obviously, they'd have to make sure the yanks didn't eat all the produce.
Also, if they paid better, that would make the food cost more, and you could blame that on Joe Biden - so, win win!

The Times uncovered this practice 23 years ago.

“Inspectors turned up dozens of violations at a Boar’s Head plant in Virginia now linked to a nationwide recall of deli meats”
The is a result of uncleanliness and problems. For what they charge, it should be spotless.
I'm guessing she doesn't know much about the reality of industrial production of food, or much anything else for that matter.

How many people died from eating Boar's Head meat, before they started hiring refugees?

How many people died from nuclear accidents before The New Deal?

Playing silly booger?
If there were no deaths from Boar's Head meat when they were not part if the Tent Organization, then there are multiple deaths after they started hiring refugees (many of who came here illegally, or at least would have been illegal before Biden-Harris), isn't that change in hiring worthy of investigation as a contributing facor in these deaths?

She didn’t call for an investigation. She declared cause and effect.
And threw DEI in there, even though meat packing plants have been hiring poor immigrants since Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle.

These are the same people whose politicians say that evolution by natural selection is "only a theory".

If Boars Head was building nuclear reactors and were hiring illegal immigrants with a Grade 5 education, there may be something there.
But slicing meat and putting in packages, I dont think that illegal immigrants are any less qualified when compare to a lower educated legal immigrant or citizen.

DEI is getting close to 9/11, covid status.
It's not quite there yet, it could be part of every story before the year is out.
Or it could just fade, it's hard to tell, it is right on the line.

I understand yoru point but I am guessing if you go into ANY meat packing plant in the US, any egg factory, it will be the same situation.
As @jon-nyc says, immigrant workers have been used in these types of plants for 100+ years.
