Never happen

Of the approx 300 Koreans who were hassled by ICE they were engineers, construction managers, or specialized construction workers who were building a factory to employ hundreds. They were all in the US on special 90-day work visas - nothing illegal about them. About a dozen of those arrested were senior people from Hyundai in the US to check progress of construction.

And now they are going to do the same thing to other foreign manufacturers. Will not be long before foreign companies declare piss on this, we are not building factories in the US
