475 Koreans working while on a non-working visa is ~41% of the 1200 employees at the site. That’s not a simple administrative oversight.

On the one hand, S Korea was in the wrong. On the other hand, they were probably late with their protection payment.

Why would anyone want to live in USA instead of South Korea.

Look what this all boils down to is someone at Hyundai didnt pay the Trump bribe fast enough. That is literally all it is. Now they have to pay ransom.

Imagine losing South Korea to China also.

Korea should close the plant and leave Georgia permanently. Screw Trump and his goons squad.

Fine. Now do bogus H1B visas.

Feds just reminding Georgia’s governor to stay loyal when the goons get sent to Atlanta.

Hyundai should pull its US domestic manufacturing plans, it’s gonna be a loser big time.

I thought the dangerous immigrants were the ones who came in “caravans” , not Koreans working for a Korean company.

Wonder if the Yam ever gave a thought to diplomacy **before raiding a multi billion dollar foreign investment.**
Like, they could have asked the plant to verify everyone’s legal status and make any needed adjustments before the raid.
The Yam is such a fucking embarrassment.

Probably some Koreans who overstay their visa. I doubt that a company who spends billions building plants in the US can afford to pay a visa for their workers. If it’s the case the raid was not necessary, just get in touch with the workers facilitating their visa renewal process.

Every country in the world should just stop exporting to the US for one week. Just stop, and see what happens.

What the fuck were the Chaebols thinking? 475 Korean workers on a visa that explicitly allows them to attend meetings and trainings, but does not allow them to perform regular work, doing work to build a car battery factory. There were so many of them that work has now been brought to a halt by their absence. All of this while the Cheeto Menace is running his ICE Basiji all across the U.S. rounding up people he considers to be undesirables. Of course this was going to happen.
I see no good guys here and 475 victims that were exploited by Hyundai and are now in the custody of an unfriendly government.

Shouldn’t Hyundai have helped their citizens receive the proper visas

Mixed feeling about this.
Require foreign company to move production to US so they can employee US workers and invest in US infrastructure and employment- yeah okay. I am okay with that.
Company moves Korean workers illegally to US so they can keep proces down and are now not investing or hiring US workers – yeah, not okay with that. Company is „cheating“
Exporting the workers back to Korea – mixed here. It is not like picking people up in the street and sending them to Guatemala or other „camps“ in third world countries or sending them back to the country they were fleeing. They are being sent back to Sout Korea – not sure how i feel about this. I can see arguments on both sides.
End result – Company will not get fined or punished. No company that employ undocumented workers ever are, so the practice will continue. Only ones hurt are of course. The undocumented workers who are being exploited and deported. – the cycle continues. Nothing really changes.

Has anybody looked in to whether or not these people did actually not have work visas? ICE likes lying a lot.
