It's stated clearly that the factory in question is under construction. There are multiple such factories being constructed by Hyundai in Georgia, each under an agreement with the state to employ several thousand locals once they get it running, in exchange for incentives to build on US soil in the first place. (ex/ 8,100 local jobs under this plan, for example https://georgia.org/sites/default/files/2023-09/hyundai_moto... ) These people were brought there for one-off, short-term, specialized work to get the factory ready, to start employing those thousands of locals, as per Hyundai's agreement with Georgia's state govt. They abused temporary / non-work visas to do so, but not to displace local labor (which wouldn't know how to do the job) - rather, to help build a new source of local labor. As such, it's likely that there isn't a single person in the world who "wins" because of this deportation, except maybe some harangued ICE official with quotas to fill. Maybe that's why "the white house hasn't yet made a huge fuss about it and why hyundai isn't being held to account." |
