Subject: Re: South Koreans leaving
From the article Lambo posted a link to

"When you are sending people for factories involving semiconductors or electric batteries, you need people on the floor who know what they’re doing," Kim said, as the paper reported South Korea had dealt with roadblocks pertaining to a limit on popular H1-B and other visa types.

That is what I suspected. The Koreans were here on tourist visas, because they could not get work visas.

Recall, a few months ago, Trump and Musk were praising H-1B visas. The base had an apoplectic fit at the idea of any foreigners being allowed in, for any reason.

From last January:

Trouble in Trumpworld over H-1B visas makes for strange bedfellows

While Elon Musk, a close ally of the president-elect, has argued the visas are essential for hundreds of companies at the heart of American industry, Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, has branded the H-1B program a “total and complete scam” that deprives American workers.

Trump backed Musk over Bannon, declaring himself to be a “believer” in H-1Bs after using them “many times” in his businesses. But this fight is not over: Bannon is demanding the “complete and total elimination” of the scheme, and Musk has declared he would “go to war” to defend it.

Another case of people who know how to do it legally, want to do it legally, but the US won't let them do it legally.
