Like people, maybe? What is the point of treating them like violent criminals other than to dehumanize them? Is it really any more effective than one guy reviewing the payroll and passing out fines until the issues are resolved?
Besides, they haven't been charged with anything so in the US they are considered innocent.

You are putting a spin on this that simply doesn't exist. I'm frankly baffled. You have a large capitalist corporation, flouting the laws of the country they're in and exploiting cheap labour. The US are simply enforcing the law like you would expect from any non banana republic. I can't think of in issue where the left should be so aligned with the government. It's a scandal and i hope the executives get held to account.
- port11 1y agoThis is a malevolent interpretation. They were in the country to transfer knowledge and help build a factory to create jobs in the US. By mistake (maybe?), some visas expired, and then all workers are arrested. Doesn't that seem like an exaggerated response? It's not like they don't respect the US laws and regulations…
