This one is where ICE’s operation is completely fair. Koreans have systemically abused ESTA on a massive scale for a long time. Korean companies treat ESTA as the de-facto business visa. US Homeland Security did tighten up the screening last year because of that, but the Korean government chose to do absolute nothing about it. No mention of ESTA & VISA issues was made during the recent US-SK summit meeting. Something like this was bound to happen sooner or later.
And I say all this as a Korean. This article is politically biased rather severely.
- viraptor 1y ago> This one is where ICE’s operation is completely fair. The "completely" is going quite far given the treatment of them. They could be sent a notice ordering to stop work and leave. Or the employer could be told to start applying for visa updates or else. It's not like a skilled Hyundai worker on a temporary international work assignment is likely to run away and start an undocumented life in the US instead. It was a completely unnecessary show of force that also cost more than sending a few letters.
- komali2 1y agoDo you believe it's fair to the Korean workers that they are arrested and detained for what they thought was just doing their jobs, whereas their bosses who brought them in with the explicit purpose of skirting visa rules will walk scott free?
