I find it amazing that theres so much sympathy towards giant Korean megacorp here.

“Oh, maybe they got mixed up with the visa because language”. No they did not.

“Oh, maybe it’s really difficult to find local talent”. No it isn’t. Not for them.

There are many advantages for them to illegally fly in a whole Workforce. That is why they did it.

I'm expecting this to be one of those American news stories where the public reaction is entirely dependent on the current party in power, right?

It feels weird for HN to be going to bat for a company abusing labor laws, am I missing something here?

I think the respective parties are consistently welcoming and hostile to immigrants regardless of who's in power, I don't really know what you mean. Biden would have been hated by the left for doing this.

People are so both-sides poisoned they come out with these nonsensical takes reflexively just to virtue signal being "above" having a (public) stance.
