"worker", singular. And the rest?

  Is the blatant violation of the rights and dignity of at least one person not alarming enough for you? Shouldn't the rights of individuals be respected? And can a society that willingly turns a blind eye to such incidents still be called a constitutional state?

    I don't entirely disagree with your position, but I'd still like to know. Or to put it another way: When the media so blatantly cherry-pick what they choose to report and what they turn a blind eye to, can such a misinformed society really be called a democracy?

      The entire crusade against "illegal immigrants" in the US is built on misinformation. Pretty much everything the Trump administration has said about, well, everything, has been a thinly veiled lie. Its not misinformation vs the governments word. Its misinformation vs populist pseudo-fascist misinformation. If the government is telling you or us that these workers did not have valid visas, that probably means that at least some definitely did have valid visas.

>According to the file written by an agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), an agency within Ice, the man entered the US “with a valid B1/B2 visa”, which allows for some business-related activities and tourism. He was at the Hyundai factory as a contractor with a South Korean company. I did some research on B1/B2 Visa's it looks like the work allowed is rather restricted. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45207369 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45207369
