Hyundai may want to come back,  but good luck to them finding anyone who will go. [/quote]

Then maybe they will actually hire Americans. I hate Trump but I can't believe everyone is buying all 400 workers were in fact so specialized that no American could do the job. The actual visa the Koreans were on has not been revealed. The New York Times interviewed one worker, "Nate Cho[b], an HVAC guru,[/b]" who also worked at a Samsung semiconductor factory in Texas.

I am not sure what an [b]HVAC guru[/b] is or how that differs from a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning regular worker but an earlier article in the NYT explains that local unions for a while have been complaining about American not getting hired and blue collar workers from Korea getting hired instead to do manual labor.

Barry Zeigler, business manager of Local 188, a union that represents plumbers, pipe fitters, welders and HVAC service technicians for 15 counties in Georgia, said South Koreans were working as welders and pipe fitters in the Georgia plant — jobs that he said should have been given to Americans. He said he had visited the plant in the past, adding that about 65 members of his union were hired by subcontractors to lay pipes there, but were let go a few months ago.

“People think the Koreans are here to do a special job; that’s BS,” he said, adding that politicians had turned a deaf ear to his complaints about the factory until the raid.[/quote]

Go away MAGA. These were highly trained engineers. They were doing things no maga idiot like yourself could even imagine. The raid was a total f up by you people.[/quote]
