Hyundai has plants outside of Korea, including one in Alabama, and should know the visa rules.
And if they screwed up, THIS was the best way of handling it?
We sure showed them!
What you fail to mention is all they needed was legal paperwork
to do work in the U.S. that’s all.
Some people on this tread can’t seem to differentiate between a multinational corporation investing billions in this country and a bunch of Guatemalan fentanyl dealers.
Well...maybe that's a problem then.
So you’re A-OK with two-tiered immigration enforcement then?
Ellabell, Georgia is about 30 miles west of Savannah.
"The deported workers were not Hyundai employees but worked for its contractors and LG Energy Solutions, it’s South Korean partner in the plant. Muñoz said while the workers should not have been here without the proper work visas, there needed to be a change in US law to allow for the kind of work. Muñoz also said last month he expected a deal soon between the countries."
They were NOT here legally.
PERIOD.
It’s a pretty standard evasion for corps to fob off the dirty work of employing illegals to subcontractors. They knew what they were doing to save money and got caught.
OK...so assuming that there are no problems at the Alabama plant that *very* strongly suggests that one of more persons...perhaps Korean,perhaps American...have made one or more honest mistakes.As I said earlier...I’m with DLT on this one.
Yep, using cut-outs to avoid U.S. immigration laws and regulations.
“Korean techs were sent to Georgia to build out the plant”
There’s a visa process for that.
They didn’t follow it.
If legally, then Trump is right.
If illegally (as it appears), then Trump is dead wrong. We can’t have a two-tiered system here. If you’re an illegal, you’ve got to go.
Plus, it’s demoralizing to the ICE agents who are just trying to do their jobs.
How did they get into our country without visas? Were their visas not for an extended period?
Sounds like a case of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If ICE didn’t go after illegals because of who they were then a Lib gets a hold of that information and cries racism and all that, so ICE does their job seemingly impart and people still whine. I say ICE, deport them all let the courts sort it out.
In a way I guess you can say I am. But then it could also be said that DJT is as well. I don’t agree with DJT 100% of the time but I fully agree with him on this matter.
“We sure showed them!”
Ask Google execs about the multi-billion dollar EU fine.
Oops...should be “I’m with DJT on this one”.
Trump is wrong here. He alwyas had a soft spot for this type of employement scheme and has employed H2-B personally. We must enforce our immigration laws. However, due to the politically sensitive nature of this it could and should have been delt with administratively with letters of removal before work place enforcement was conducted.
How many Americans does it take to transfer an American company’s secrets to its PRC ‘partner’?
Far less than 400!
Probably less than 10!
