SNIP South Koreans feel betrayed by workforce detentions at Georgia Hyundai plant AP

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s foreign minister departed for the U.S. on Monday to finalize steps for the return of several hundred South Korean workers detained in a massive immigration raid in Georgia, a spectacle that has caused confusion, shock and a sense of betrayal among many in the U.S.-allied nation.

The Sept. 4 raid on a battery factory under construction at a sprawling Hyundai auto plant resulted in the detainment of 475 workers, more than 300 them South Koreans. Some were shown being shackled with chains around their hands, ankles and waists in video released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. SNIP

South Korean foreign minister travels to US to repatriate detained nationals from Georgia facility FOX

SNIP: Federal agents detained nearly 500 workers during an immigration raid at a Hyundai battery plant construction site near Savannah, Georgia — an operation that has rattled U.S.–South Korea relations and drawn scrutiny regarding how America staffs its biggest industrial projects.

About 475 workers at the battery plant’s construction site were detained on Sept. 4 under suspicion of being in the U.S. illegally, with at least 300 reportedly hailing from the democratic half of the Korean peninsula – which is also a top U.S. ally and key Asian partner.SNIP

It's the same problem we have with the Taiwanese coming over to set up a CHIP factory. We don't have the skilled workers. So we need to work with them, not do this. How to work with them? There's some commentary in the FOX piece on how to do that. And yes, they are pissed off, denial is not a river in Egypt.
