It’s not just the Korean workers who paid the price.

If we want foreign investment in American job creation, we’d better streamline the visa process.

From the story: “The U.S. side, made up of officials from the Departments of State, Homeland Security and Commerce, made clear that South Korean workers can install, service and repair equipment needed as part of South Korean business investment in the U.S., using the ESTA visa waver program and the B-1 temporary visas, South Korea’s foreign ministry said.”

If that’s the case, Hyundai should have been afforded the opportunity to reapply for their workers who were already here, rather than see them carted off as criminals.

Technical manuals are typed up on computers, not typewriters.

Automatic translation is pretty good nowadays.

This was a big mistake on the part of the Trump Administration

These workers were skilled technicians brought in to help out with tech transfer in a key technology to get a new American factory online

How this happened is beyond me.

I suspect CNC machines can be programmed remotely.
