“You stay on front line, Joe! We make battery in America!”

Don’t send your illegals over here.

Many of the LG employees arrested were on business trips with various visas or under a visa waiver programme, officials say.

Uhhhhhhh.........what?

Why are the Koreans being so uppity? Theirs was an agricultural shithole that we elevated after the Korean War. Today it is an industrial giant, and their cities are cleaner, safer, and more modernized and run more efficiently than ours. Their women dress better and have no tattoos, and they are a hard working people that have climbed the tail of the Asian tiger economy over the past generation. Still, they need to show some gratitude to their Uncle.

South Korea held an “emergency meeting” wrt to the arrests of hundreds of its
citizens here illegally in a massive immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in the US.

From what I’ve seen on other sites those arrested were on tourist or training visas, neither of which allow them to work. You want them to work, spend the time and get the right visa. It’s as simple as that.

I guess it wont matter if they shut down the plant in protest since they have their own illegals staffing it.

Good, Kemp is exposed again.

WE.DONT.WANT.THEM. AMERICANS.NEED.THOSE.JOBS!

[central_va]

Seems like the entire geo-political-economic system is designed to keep Americans from being able to work IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY!

[yldstrk]

They are getting tourist visas and coming over here working. Against the rules, kemosabe.

[central_va]

They are in deep kimchi now!!

Trump is peeling back the layers of foreign countries taking advantage of us layer by layer.

[dljordan]

Their new president is a commie supported by the CCP.

[posterchild]

They don’t need to send ‘diplomats’ just a couple of chartered wide body aircraft to pick them up and return them home.

[Mount Athos]

There is no way a mega like hyundai didn’t know it is illegal to work on a non-work visa. This was an organized evasion of law.

[virgil]

Why didn’t they just get work visas in the first place?

[Allegra]

Exactly. They knew what they were doing. Some unsavory types were making money off of this.

They can lose the indignation.

[Liz]

They are getting “tourist visas” and coming over here “to work”....
