Assuming they did hire illegal workers, which hasn’t been remotely proven - are you sure that’s the incentive? Or is it more like “don’t do business in the US, it’s chaos” or more likely the intended effect: “make sure you pay off MAGA before you start construction”
- sparrish 1y agoIf their first instinct when caught hiring illegal workers is to "not do business in the US"... yeah, I think the US will be better off without that of business.
- kennywinker 1y agoI’m almost certain that anybody arrested yesterday who turns out to be working illegally will not be a direct employee of hyundai. It’ll be sub-contractors and sub sub contractors. So yeah, doing business in the US sucks. Crooked US companies hire illegal workers to bump their margins, work gets stopped, you get blamed, a bunch of legal workers go to jail for a bit, a bunch of undocumented workers get deported, and nobody in charge of hiring at the US contractors experiences any kind of accountability. Win for USA tho?
