I think the issue is that building factories in the US and then filling them with foreign workers is the opposite of bringing jobs to the US - those 300 jobs should be US jobs, not South Korean jobs. That said, I think what ICE has been doing is very wrong.

The factory isn't even being "filled with foreign workers", it's being set up by foreign workers so they can start employing 10x as many locals to actually staff it long term.

At the time it was actually filled with foreign workers, who were likely here illegally. Look, I am no fan of trump or any of what ICE is doing, but the fact is there were 300 foreign workers here illegally inside that factory. That's completely stupid of the company to do considering the current political climate.

Yeah they should have hired Georgia hvac engineers to get their highly technical battery production line going.

it's the same thing when a US company sets up a facility abroad -- it brings in US specialists who are knowledgeable of the equipment and processes; US contractors go abroad all the time, and no, they usually don't have long-term work visas
