Hyundai is investigating 12.6 billion dollars in Georgia, and the response is to raid the facility and arrest ~500 people working there. How does that benefit Americans? Korea is pumping money into our economy, and we throw the people working there in jail. For what? Working?

If Hyundai's operations keep getting disrupted, they can't justify spending billions here. Other international companies also won't waste their time investing and building infrastructure here. They'll spend it somewhere else. What is pro-American about this? Is the Republican party now anti-money? Anti-capitalism? How is this a win for Americans or Republicans or conservatives or anyone?

What is so bad about hiring people who are legally allowed to work in the US? Why requiring this would be so disruptive? What is so bad about following the law?

They command market rate wages.
