My understanding is that a bunch of Korean ‘tourists’, who just happened to be experts in getting factories operating, just happened to converge on the Georgia plant - maybe to take pictures to post in Facebook, I guess.
Bottom line, NO COUNTRY permits foreign tourists to work in a country they’re visiting...and now the Koreans understand that the law also applies to them.
The workers were sent by Hyundai.
It would have been the easiest thing in the world to have notified Hyundai and demanded they rectify their workers’ status rather then rounding them up like MS-13 members
