South Korea Issues Update on Georgia Hyundai Plant ICE Raid

[Mac-7]

Because it was necessary to get the plant working.

Don’t you want the plant and all the jobs that come with it?

No it wasnt

It was just a way to save money for the company

The jobs went to Koreans

Flying Koreans to work at the plant isn’t cost effective. They were there to set the plant up and train Americans to run it.

oh bullshit

Most of them were common construction laborers

Do you really think Americans cant do those jobs?

I like Koreans

But they are some of the most dishonest businessmen in the world

 

[Marener]

They’re building a high tech battery manufacturer. They’re not just common construction jobs. These are highly specialized workers.

 

[Delldude]

Explain.

Don't have to use them.

 

[mamooth]

how is deporting illegals making an ass of trump??

If there's a paperwork problem with the visas with SK engineers at the plant, then you take it up with those people and Hyundai.

At least that's now non-fascist normal people handle things.

Violent fascist thugs, they send in masked brownshirts to round everyone up at gunpoint.

 

[Marener]

Don't have to use them.

What visa should they use?

 

[Delldude]

No, you take it up with INS.

Violent fascist thugs, they send in masked brownshirts to round everyone up at gunpoint.

What do you do with Tyler Robinson benched?

What visa should they use?

You tell me, you're a smart boy.

 

[mamooth]

No, you take it up with INS.

Yeah, and they take it up with the people. You're such a hardcore fascist, you no longer understand how a non-fascist world operates.

What do you do with Tyler Robinson benched?

I don't understand. How does a hardcore conservative, one that you deliberately radicalized with years of propaganda, weigh into this?

You really, really must want to deflect, if you thought you needed to say something that disonest and crazy.

So, tell me, do you think the fact that a conserative murdered another conservative gives you license to behave as badly as you want at all times, on every topic? Because that seems to be how you're acting.

The workers arrested were common construction workers who are here illegally

It has not been too long since libs opposing the Trump wall swore that all we had to do was arrest employers who hire illegals and the other illegals would self deport

Now you are all talking out of the other side of your mouth

Few if any Korean engineers were caught working illegally

He wasn't a conservative, no political affiliations and beyond that, you're off topic.

It’s not honest to hold me accountable for what others say.

Show me where you heard all the people arrested were common construction laborers. It makes no sense to fly Koreans overseas to do that job.

My sources say they were skilled workers installing equipment.

Wow. The hypocrisy, it staggers.

YOU BROUGHT HIM UP. For no reason at all, except to deflect.

Your "sources"?

 

[Delldude]

My sources say they were skilled workers installing equipment.

Your sources were aware of the problem Biden overlooked.

LG Energy Solution has been actively working to resolve visa issues" for its employees and subcontractors, including holding visa briefing sessions through law firms to "prevent legal issues," LGES said in a statement when asked by Reuters about its employees' visas.

In response to Reuters' questions about the allegations of immigration violations by subcontractors at the site, Hyundai Motor referred to a statement that said it has "zero tolerance for those who don’t follow the law" and would investigate the employment practices of suppliers and their subcontractors.

The Koreans are wonderful people EXCEPT when it comes to business and making money

In that case they are cutthroat to the max

From your own link:

One person who works at the Georgia site told Reuters that this had long been a routine practice. "There was a red flag ... They bypass the law and come to work," the person said, asking not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.
The arrests shocked South Korea although workers had previously expressed concern that they could be caught in between Trump's immigration crackdown and corporate efforts to protect investments in the United States that are at the centre of ongoing trade and tariff talks.

'I BEGGED THEM'​

An equipment technician in South Korea, who previously worked with six of the people arrested, said: "I warned them they could screw up their lives if they are caught."
"I begged them not to go to the United States again," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
He said he had once obtained a B-1 visa from the United States by claiming he was a supervisor, rather than an equipment specialist.
Another equipment technician working as a contractor with LG Energy Solution said his application for a B-1 visa to work at Hyundai's Georgia factory was rejected earlier this year, without explanation. When he then tried to fly to Mexico and cross the border, he was blocked from boarding the flight in Seoul.

As you can see, they were specialized labor that the plant needs to get started.

You were wrong in calling them normal laborers.

They were never going to be permanently working there, just there temporarily to get things started. They used B-1 visas because getting an H1-B is a lottery. You can’t depend on it.
