Trump can do far more to shut down illegals by arresting employers...South Koreans detained in ICE raid at Hyundai electric vehicle site in Georgia
Most of the 475 arrested were from South Korea, leading the country to express concern about the rights of those in custody.
Over 475 arrested...oops sorry detained
If I'm the head of The company I'd tell the plant Mgr...close the doors..we're moving out of US

I didn't make myself clear. Who cares if Hyundai shuts down the plant if they were hiring hundreds of illegal Koreans?
Japanese and Korean car companies have typically agreed to do assembly in the U.S. while bringing the parts from Asia.U.S. Immigration Authorities Raid Hyundai-LG Battery Plant in Georgia
U.S. immigration authorities have launched a search and seizure operation at the joint battery plant (HL-GA Battery Company) of Hyundai Motor Group and LG Ener
Trump is simultaneously calling for more investment in the US, and chasing that investment away. They're not arresting workers, they're arresting supervisors and engineers that are doing tours/advising.
Hyundai is expanding the plant, so tonnes of suppliers will be there helping get it set up.
That's demonstrably false.
This is what I'm hearing now.
If I were with any other foreign company thinking of building in america I'd put a hold on it after this.
You don't see the problem with a major automobile manufacturer bringing workers into the U.S. illegally.

Yes, you do see this problem with other major manufacturers in the US:You don't see the problem with a major automobile manufacturer bringing workers into the U.S. illegally.
This has to be a red line. This can't be another let's bash the Trump Administration.
What do you think the UAW is going to say about this?
PS- In recent years, I have had to wait for parts from Japan for my automobile. You know supply chain issues. Perhaps some Asian auto manufacturers have better records of domestic content.
I don't think it's an overgeneralized anecdote. Hyundai U.S. was moving to source more parts domestically under pressure from tariffs.
In any event, you live long enough you see these things come and go. Some things are just P.R.
S. Korean parts industry faces blow as Hyundai, Kia shift to US sourcing
S. Korean parts industry faces blow as Hyundai, Kia shift to US sourcing Hyundai, Kia seek to localize US parts amid tariffs; small Korean suppliers struggle to follow due to weak earnings
Now you see the extent of the problem here............or maybe you don't.
I try to buy aftermarket parts when its practical and possible, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a domestic part.
I think if you are going to insist on these policies they should be comprehensive and punish employers. I think they should bring back migrant worker visas for farm, and other low level work. It would solve a lot of these issues on both ends.
Do you have proof they were there illegally?
