Hundreds of Korean engineers came in lawfully to install equipment and train American workers, and got shackled, herded into freezing cells and made to sign papers nobody translated. The search warrant named four targets — none of them these workers — so the whole spectacle was a pretext that humiliated an ally and shattered trust. Demanding an apology and damages is the least this deserves.
Enforcing the plain terms of a visa is not an outrage, itjust is the simple law:. visaVisa waiver entrants are flatly barred from working, and plenty at that plant were doing exactly that through subcontractors hired to supply cheap labor. Georgia has American graduates and workers who could fill those jobs if companies were not allowed to import a foreign workforce instead. Living and working herein America is a privilege that comes with rules.
