The raid at a Hyundai plant was by far the largest single-site anti-immigration swoop by the Trump administration. The incident has caused outrage in South Korea.
I don’t know why anyone is surprised, Trump clearly expects foreign companies to invest in US operations staffed purely by white US citizens. This raid was a feature, not a bug.
I work in this industry, and most of the american employees are not great. Also there are huge language barriers, so training is extremely difficult when these machines have 3,000 parts and are as long as a football field. Finding good employees is tricky and the smaller plants usually ignore OSHA laws and put their employees health at risk.
Wasn’t this whole thing kicked off by a conservative tiktoker that is running for Georgia Congress? She reported seeing Mexicans, they did a raid and were surprised to find out that they were South Korean.

Which ironically was almost what things were going to be. The Koreans that were over here were on temp visas to teach Americans how to run the plant.

No idea, it doesn’t necessarily negate my point though. This wouldn’t have happened if they were white.
