Gotta read brehwhy would you build a factory only koreans can build?!!?
There is an anthropologist who studied southern whites going all the way back to their arrival. It’s called Cracker culture. It should be required reading for black folks.
In Cracker Culture, Grady McWhiney shows how the settlers of the Old South carried over a cultural package rooted in violence, laziness, lawlessness, and hostility to authority. They prized leisure over steady work, glorified brawls and duels, resisted order and discipline, and lived recklessly in the short term rather than building for the future. Racism was the glue that held this culture together — it gave their violence and defiance a target, justified their refusal to modernize, and entrenched a social order built on domination instead of progress. The result is a legacy that still haunts the U.S. today, where defiance is celebrated over discipline and racial hierarchy continues to block real progress.

SEOUL, South Korea — (AP) — More than 300 South Korean workers detained following a massive immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia will be released and brought home, the South Korean government announced Sunday.
Kang Hoon-sik, chief of staff for President Lee Jae Myung, said that South Korea and the U.S. had finalized negotiations on the workers’ release. He said South Korea plans to send a charter plane to bring the workers home as soon as remaining administrative steps are completed.
U.S. immigration authorities said Friday they detained 475 people, most of them South Korean nationals, when hundreds of federal agents raided Hyundai's sprawling manufacturing site in Georgia where the Korean automaker makes electric vehicles. Agents focused on a plant that is still under construction at which Hyundai has partnered with LG Energy Solution to produce batteriesthat power EVs.
South Korea's Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said that more than 300 South Koreans were among the detained.
The operation was the latest a long line of workplace raids conducted as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda. But the one on Thursday is especially distinct because of its large size and the fact that state officials have long called the targeted site Georgia's largest economic development project.
The raid has stunned many in South Korea because the country is a key U.S. ally. It agreed in July to purchase $100 billion in U.S. energy and make a $350 billion investment in the U.S. in return for the U.S lowering tariff rates. About two weeks ago, U.S. President Donald Trump and Lee held their first summit talks in Washington.
Lee had called for “an all-out response" to the raid, saying that rights of South Korean nationals and economic activities of South Korean companies must not be unfairly infringed upon during U.S. law enforcement procedures. South Korea's Foreign Ministry separately issued a statement to express “concern and regret” over the case and sent diplomats to the site.
Video released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Saturday showed a caravan of vehicles driving up to the site and then federal agents directing workers to line up outside. Some detainees were ordered to put their hands up against a bus as they were frisked and then shackled around their hands, ankles and waist.
Most of the people detained were taken to an immigration detention center in Folkston, Georgia, near the Florida state line. None has been charged with any crimes yet, Steven Schrank, the lead Georgia agent of Homeland Security Investigations, said during a news conference Friday, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
He said that some of the detained workers had illegally crossed the U.S. border, while others had entered the country legally but had expired visas or had entered on a visa waiver that prohibited them from working.
Kang, the South Korean presidential chief of staff, said that South Korea will push to review and improve visa systems for those traveling to the U.S. on business trips for investment projects.

Just a waste of everyone’s time. If I were South Korea, I’d scrap plans to build the factory.

Some of the visas just expired I think… like in August. That part wasn’t really clear in the reddit thread because I think somewhere it said something else.
Regardless, GA knew they were there. Not like they were working under the table or some shyt

Do you know what happens when Apple builds a factory in China or India? They send US workers to go and set up shop and train everyone on what to do. This is no different. Trump wants more factories? You gotta bring the people to set up shop and who know how to train Americans.why would you build a factory only koreans can build?!!?
racists don't care about facts.

Saw nearly zero Asian flags next to Mexican/South American flags a couple months back protesting immigration.

I know this has been posted, and I am not a fan of reposting, but I do want this video to be seen as much as possible. It needs to reach millions, the masses. Everybody needs to download this video and share this. Tori Branum is a politician from Dublin, Georgia who has openly admitted to being the one who called ICE on the Hyundai Plant. She has also taken to Facebook to brag about this incident over and over, but deleted the above video from all social medias. I suppose it was too controversial and was getting too much attention on TikTok.
She has made multiple posts on her politician page about the Hyundai Raid and is very proud she has displaced over 450 individuals and destroyed hundreds of families. Leaving children in bed crying, wishing their parent was at home instead of in a detention center waiting for deportation. They may never see their children again. So yes, this bothers me to my core and she needs exposed for this video. It needs shown. She uploaded it. She did it. She was proud. So.

She says, "Biden allowed," not pointing out that the first cars did not roll off the assembly plant line until March of 2025.
The plant began construction under Joe Biden. It began employment under Trump. Facts are important. They were brought in under a visa program offered as part of the plant being built. Georgia knew and agreed to this fact. Some were only temp visas until the plant was in production. They had 3 to 6 months after the first car rolled off the line. That was May or August. The raid was totally unnecessary. Barnum was upset because these immigrants were living in houses she and her friends wanted to buy, but they couldn't while they had occupants. She's another rich person ruining America. That's all.

│ Hi! I work in supply chain due diligence, formerly in the automotive industry. What she’s describing is true and a real problem with automotive factories in the US and abroad, seemingly more often with mid-sized suppliers and foreign owned businesses.
│
│ What she’s misses is that Biden had one of the biggest crackdowns on this that ever happened. While trump was falsely spewing things about Haitians eating pets, Biden and the state of Ohio actually did some incredible work to clean up the automotive factory abuses in the area

If she really cared about the workers, why not go after Hyundai and the corporations with shytty practices? They should be culpable. The company is guilty and in the wrong, not the employees

│ Its even worse than that.
│
│ About 300 or so of the people detained were Korean employees on temporary work visas who came to help set up and supervise. Clearly not "illegal". And ICE just scooped them up anyway to meet quotas.
