I'm not sure how simply posting some facts I found online is a "weak strawman." But you do you, Mr "Maybe they are eating the dogs!" The rest... sure.
Yes, very few are against legal immigration. Those few are in power, making it not a strawman but very real. Green card holders are being detained and deported. Tourists are being denied entry because of tattoos or some online postings that are considered "security" concerns. Legally protected migrants are losing that protection and being deported. Afghans who are legally allowed in for their work with the U.S. military are losing their status and being detained and deported. Etc., just to name a few off the top of my head.
Shackling 300+ Korean workers on short-term visas like criminals was unnecessary. They were here because no local talent could do the job. Legal or not (they were here legally, but the US says they can’t work), the Koreans believed they were following the rules, and our confusing laws are part of the problem. The US should have handled this with a conversation, not a political show for a domestic audience. Now the GA plant that will bring thousands of local jobs is delayed, and the political fallout in Asia puts future investment from Asian countries at risk. The US is scrambling to fix the mess, but the damage is real. Korean workers won’t return without guarantees they’ll be treated humanely. The plant will likely be finished because too much money is sunk into it, but good luck hitting deadlines or quality targets. This was reckless, incompetent, and whoever authorized this raid without doing basic due diligence should be fired. South Korean workers who were detained in a Hyundai factory raid are now headed home.
