  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Translation: America is being left behind on the world stage so we need other countries citizens to come, give Americans the advantages of a DEI program without calling it a DEI program, because without it we would no longer be competitive in a worldwide business economy and we don’t like that.
You are being left behind but only by developed nations with whom you've had strong friendship and who are incredibly advanced and first world.

But on the plus side, for a while, all those countries led by authoritarians really liked you and wanted to toss a whole bunch of money at you!

But they'll withdraw their money too at some point cause you're gonna treat them poorly too cause those countries are poor and brown.

I dont think you guys get it. When the majority of liberals, not just the fringe leftist, but those considered liberal elites, either shrugged off, made excuses for, or even celebrated an assassination, all of them implicitly said, "Better keep your mouth shut or else you may be next."

We are long past unity. I dont think there will be a civil war. But I predict that their will be a very powerful movement wanting everyone who supported, encouraged, justified, or celebrated this tragedy to be ostracized from society, fired from their jobs, and cast out as threats to the marketplace of ideas.
You'll have to wake up.
People die from guns all the time in the US. You notice that?


If hundreds of dead childrens haven't changed America, it would be extraordinarily disappointing if this one death did.

So as far as I know at the moment, the construction of the factory is frozen since the workers required are no longer in the country and the future of other SK investments is now in question.

Winning!

One wonders how many of the original "475" detained workers turned out to be working here legally?

Or if DHS ever attempted to notify Hyundai to investigate it's subcontractors employment status?

If my people were treated like that. I wouldn't be sending back. I would choose Mexico or Canada.

I agree. That just means there are 475 new job opportunities for US citizens in Georgia. Also, I have not heard of any fines for Hyundai USA.
I gotta return back to this because clearly this statement was made out of ignorance.
No, it currently means that there are some tens of thousands of job opportunities less for Georgia. Those South Koreans were there to install and set up the equipment. No one in the USA has the knowledge required to do that. So no, you can't hire people from Georgia to fill in for them. They were there to install and set things up before heading back. But now the workers themselves are saying in Korea that they won't come back, the public feels so insulted by the raid and some of the actions done after that they're calling for a pullout. So no, there are not 475 new job opportunities there.

Most of the So. Koreans were there legally and have been released. Trump has been kissing up to the president of Hyundai.
Good. Leave immigrants here legally alone.

Want to come here? Come here legally or face the consequences.

Rules are rules.
You'd need to enable that as well. From what I've read from Korean sources, one part of the issue is that US visa orders are so clogged up that it takes a long time to process them and that was made worse in this case because the Trump admin was insisting on a deadline of by the end of the year for this as part of what they'd talked about with SK. And for this sort of stuff, because of the long waits, previous administrations (plural) have been fine with ESTA for this sort of short in-and-out stuff. So if they wanted to stick to the end of the year schedule... They kinda needed those people there now. But no worries, they apparently ain't coming back.

I heard some people somewhere say something about nobody being above the law. I wonder where that came from.

We will see, The Trump supporters, that I know won't allow their kids to do these jobs.
You are actually expecting us to believe that you know Trump supporters who refuse to let their kids get blue collar jobs? Doubt it.
