On-shore manufacturing requires an on-shore workforce. I’m wondering how this will sit with any company that wants to invest in on-shore manufacturing. I mean, what’s the big picture here?

Factory workers are easy targets compared with actual criminals. So ICE goes after them to meet their quotas. It could also be that the Hyandai executives weren't contributing enough to the right parties so had to be made an example of. Could be both.

That's the fun part. They all are violating immigration laws. The country is run on cheap immigrate labor. What we are seeing is selective enforcement.

Doesn't appear to be the case considering all the ICE news lately... On the contrary seems like they're enforcing white-collar immigration laws too now.

Also i'm willing to bet it was a tip off by a pissed off vendor or local union or something.

Are they applying them to equally to corps that are politically connected to, and give big money to Trump?
