Billions of dollars have been invested for it. Shareholders would destroy them if they pulled out now. Because shareholders don't give a fuck about anything other than profits.
And seeing how things have been going with Trump, do they believe that their assets in America won't be seized one day or another? Because it's entirely in the realm of possibilities.
Mixed feelings on that, tbh. They were circumventing worker visa laws by shipping in and out people on visitor visas, but the current laws on that are kind of awful and, I mean, it's fucking ICE. Fuck ICE.
If you have zero battery plants or workers that know how to operate a battery plant, the first step is to bring in experts to build and then train your workers.
How do Americans plan on getting a Hyundai battery plant built without having people from Hyundai (a Korean company) come over to set it up the way that would get it to the same standard as their Korean factories?
They should empty the building and roll all the equipment down to Mexico or up to Canada so a country that wants a good relationship with other countries.
Mexico would probably be a better idea so that they can be better positioned to get electric vehicles down into South America.
Work visas? But yeah, I don't know why any foreign country would invest in this shithole country these days. Wait and see if it gets a little more sane in a decade or two.
Same feelings. Hyundai isn't the good guy here, bit OTOH, fuck ICE and fuck Georgia. And I say that as a Southerner. Pull the whole fucking plant, shut it down, eat the costs, tell Trump to fuck himself. FFS, will no one fight this man?!

Treated like criminals, yet they still want to do business in the States?
Disgraceful. Pull out of there while you can.

You may want to look into Korean business culture sometime. Protip: it's not American.

Monies to good same reason countries are folding to trump on things you wouldn't think they would. The American market is to big to miss out on.

Trump's plan to bring more manufacturing jobs to the US:

No s***. Nearly 500 workers getting grabbed followed 300 of them being sent home should delay if not end the project.

Hmm I wonder how much the ICE vehicle makers paid Trump for his ICE Gestapo.

Were they really? 'Cause at least one lawyer representing some of the Koreans said they were fully within the law for a B-1 visa.
What's your source for them "circumventing worker visa laws"? Is it more or less credible than a lawyer actively involved in the case?

IMO there was a better way to handle it than a raid given the circumstances.

Hyundai wouldn't have to skirt immigration law if the laws were reasonable, so I can't really fault them at all.
