Assuming that they are in illegally, the U.S. is the party that should be upset. If you are going to do business in the U.S. then you need to follow us laws.

- JKCalhoun 1y agoSomeone trying to be diplomatic might, for example, allow them a window of time within which to apply to extend their visas.
- refurb 1y agoThey never had valid work visas in the first place.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoI was speaking with regards to this from the article: "…others had entered the country legally but had expired visas…"
- pylua 1y agoMy reading of the situation is that it was done maliciously or with negligence. Extending the visa a non work visa doesn’t make any sense. I have sympathy for the workers. In reality it is the immmigration attorneys or other members of the company who need to be sanctioned.

- yongjik 1y agoYou can say you're (rightfully) upset, without throwing employees of a major investor onto a jail without functioning toilets. The problem is that the US is sending deeply conflicting messages. Does it want Hyundai's investment or not? It's not that Hyundai needs to build a factory in the middle of nowhere in Georgia.
- pylua 1y agoI’m having trouble following this argument. Are you saying Hyundai built this factory expecting to gain nothing in return ? It’s only logical that if you operate in the U.S. you follow basic U.S. laws.
- pnw 1y agoThey are not Hyundai employees. Hyundai subcontracted the work out, and the subcontractors failed to file for work visas. The problem is Hyundai chose their subcontractors very poorly.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoThe meaning of the comment of the person you're replying to doesn't significantly change if you replace "employees of" to "contractors of". You're picking at nits.
- runsWphotons 1y agoIt wants Hyundai's investment and it wants to create American jobs and also have Hyundai follow the laws. The extremity of the right is fueled by an apparently prevalent reluctance to enforce any rules.
