Of course they did. A company like Hyundai that depends on government incentives is not going to take stupid risks with visas and work permits.

They had over 300 illegal workers in that plant: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj07jzgve45o

ICE said that all of them were here on invalid visas, which is clearly untrue based on the posted article.

At this point, if an ICE agent told me it was a sunny day, I'd open my umbrella.

The South Korean government reached a deal with the U.S. to return 300 South Korean nationals on charter planes. That wouldn't be happening if they were here legally.

The US says they had over 300 illegals. Last time I checked, the US was not an omniscient teller of truth.

[chrisco255]

Yes, because they did in fact. The U.S. government keeps the records on visas. Hyundai damn sure isn't a source of truth here.

[buyucu]

Hyundai is more reliable than the US government for sure.

[rrobukef]

That is not what the article says.

[buyucu]

I doubt it. 300 people were detained, but not clear information in the public whether or not they were there legally.

[chrisco255]

No it says 475 were detained. There would be no need for South Korean government to reach a deal with the U.S. if everything was legal.
