No violations then what's going on here? Are they sticking to the training missions or actually just doing the work and brushing aside the trainees to maintain leverage? That cannot be tolerated IMO.

> No violations then what's going on here? Here is the latest information I have from the AP article linked below: > U.S. authorities have said that those detained during the raid were “unlawfully working” at the plant. But Charles Kuck, a lawyer representing several of the detained South Koreans, said the “vast majority” of the workers from South Korea were doing work that is authorized under the B-1 business visitor visa program. Needless to say, the former party's credibility is a bit suspect now. I hope you remember the people who were trafficked to the El Salvadorian prison CECOT in the name of Tren de Aragua. Evidence in that case is still a joke. So in this case, we have to assume that at least the 'vast majority' of detained Koreans were there legally. ICE doesn't even distinguish between an immigrant and a citizen. What hopes do legal immigrants have? > Are they sticking to the training missions or actually just doing the work and brushing aside the trainees to maintain leverage? What were those 'trainees' going to do in an unfinished plant? Don't they need some equipment from Korea to be commissioned before they can do something? From the article again: > "It’s not like these are long-term workers. When you build a factory or install equipment at a factory, you need technicians, but the United States doesn’t have that workforce and yet they won’t issue visas to let our people stay and do the work. If that’s not possible, then establishing a local factory in the United States will either come with severe disadvantages or become very difficult for our companies. They will wonder whether they should even do it" > That cannot be tolerated IMO. Did you have any issues tolerating the 350 B$ Korean investment that came along with it? From the article: > During his meeting with Rubio, Cho also proposed the creation of a joint South Korea-U.S. working group to introduce a new visa category for workers from the Asian nation, according to Cho’s ministry. This is all backwards! When a foreign nation makes such a massive investment in your country, it's usually the host nation that takes the initiative to resolve all such issues. That too, well before the work starts. Here the US authorities are behaving as if the Koreans should be grateful to them for giving them the opportunity and privilege to invest in their territory! South Korea isn't some backward squalor nation for its citizens to want to illegally sneak into the US. It's as if 'Have you ever thanked us?' is the US government motto! Or is it that the 'main character syndrome' is the national epidemic of the US? This is not how other nations deal with each other!
