Newsweek article reports Hyundai promising to review its practices and policies regarding contractors, and Karoline will explain that we really helped Hyundai in the end besides protecting vulnerable foreign workers.

But previously I had seen reports that Hyundai was saying US was causing gridlock in the business visa system forcing them to rely on other types of visas with hopes they could clear the gridlock

A good friend of mine is the PM for the software (non-product) system for another company building an EV factory and he constantly has to send people back to their home country because the US government is so screwed up waiting for a legitimate renewal would cause a visa violation.

Maybe he should try hiring US citizens.

They’re too dumb that’s why they need to import workers.

+1 Americans aren't up to S Korean speed and they cost more$. If Americans were could do the job, they'd be doing it already.

That's what happens when an industry withers. Who will be trained to do a job that doesn't exist? Good news is the US has fantastic schools and a capable population. While standing up this industry will take time, it will happen.

No Trump has said EV and green energy will not be allowed in this country. Only oil and gas production is allowed. Hopefully we will be able to retrain all those people who work at McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Bain & Company, etc and get them in to the factory punching that time card!

Meanwhile ConocoPhillips, our third largest oil and gas producer, is laying off 25% of its employees. Chevron, BP, SLB, and Halliburton are also cutting staff.

Korean population is growing significantly in Georgia over the years, slowly but steady.

Doubt it’s growing in that region specifically of Georgia.

There is a massive Korean population in the Atlanta area and a sizable one in Montgomery al due to the plant. Duluth specifically in GA has many authentic Korean restaurants, spas and grocery stores to cater to that population.

So much for Biden’s IRA trying to help these people.

This plant was hiring Americans to get the tax breaks, then firing them after 180 days to bring in Koreans. I have no issues with them getting in trouble for breaking the rules.

Guess the Koreans forgot to buy certain crypto before trying to run a business here in the US.

This is what Georgia wanted and voted for. I hope the factories can instead be built in countries that are hurting from the US tariffs. They would actually value those jobs.

The plant isn't even operational yet.

The Hyundai plant that got raided had only been open for a couple of months. The Koreans were there on a temporary basis to help install specialized equipment and to train American workers while the plant gets up and running.

A-hole Trump raided it. How stupid.

Trump says he wants to bring manufacturing to America but the goes and attacks the manufacturing plants, even as they are still setting up.

Who in manufacturing would want to deal with that BS? Nobody.

Actually, Hyundai contributed $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund. Perhaps they should’ve contributed much more.
