The Biden Administration has relocated 2,000 Haitians to Charleroi, Pennsylvania, to work at the local meatpacking plant, Fourth Street Barbecue or Fourth Street Food Industries. The plant has reportedly terminated the employment of most, if not all, local workers in favor of hiring the newcomers.
Recently, the Charleroi meatpacking plant announced its closure after the parent company defaulted on $80 million in loans. This closure has left the 2,000 Haitians without jobs in a town with a population of approximately 4,000 residents. As a result of losing their employment, the protected status of these individuals is set to expire, potentially rendering them illegal immigrants.
Should this situation persist, Charleroi, Pennsylvania, could become the first American city where one-third of the population consists of illegal immigrants. For further details on related coverage, see recent developments in political matters.
