Talk about federal overreach.

This whole administration is about overreach. The “don’t tread on me” folks are treading all over everything.

Trumps SS has created an international crisis.

By kidnapping and abusing 450 skilled South Korean workers, who were INVITED her to help build a battery plant by the way, Trump has sent the world a message:

Do not invest in the United States. Do not send your best and brightest.

Neither your people nor your investment are safe here.

Looks like foreign investments will stop for the foreseeable future in the US. When they arrest your technical advisors and engineers needed to get the $7.6 billion plant up in running it drives off investors. What a stupid move.

Looks like foreign investments should play by the visa rules.

They did. This is why the South Koreans are so upset. All these Koreans filled out work visas and entered the country through legal means. They flew here on airplanes and showed their passport with visas.

If those visas were work visas and not expired, then yes, this is a terrible the government has to be called into account.

Only when global corporations pay taxes and wealthy shareholders pay taxes on their wealth accumulation can they expect protection. American workers pay for the federal government; they should expect protection:

💰 1. Federal Revenue Composition (2023)
Source Amount (FY 2023) Share of Total Federal Revenue
Individual income taxes ≈ $2.2 trillion 49%
Payroll taxes (Social Security + Medicare, paid by workers & employers) ≈ $1.6 trillion 35%
Corporate income taxes ≈ $0.42 trillion 9%
Excise, estate, tariffs, other ≈ $0.3 trillion 7%

Someone didn't pay their protection money, aka campaign contributions.

This plant may have had the fewest illegals of any in the state.

There was a deleted post indicating the visas they used were not applicable for work. Is there legit reporting on the type of visas they were actually using? NYT reporting makes it sound like Hyundai used subcontractors for hiring who, in turn, may not have used appropriate hiring practices to ensure correct visas were in use.

Why pay taxes and tariffs when you can just buy your politicians?

They were not here legally to work

They flew here in airplanes? Wow, good to know they didn't take a boat.

What kind of documents do you need to fly internationally- passport, visa, etc. They must have used the Jedi mind trick on CBP to enter the country. I guess you think they were smuggled across the Mexican border by coyotes. Maybe they were going to take a boat but after Trump blew up that boat carrying refugees…

Umm, flying is irrelevant. The issue is whether they were authorized to work here or not.

Then why were they raided?

Because an idiot MAGA congressional candidate reported the whole operation to ICE.
