American expat in Korea here. This has gravely damaged Korean perception of US. These people are there in good faith volunteering to bend backwards through ESTA and B-visa. US authorities are taking the side of legal technicalities and framing these experts as "illegals" as if they crossed the border like some low wage manual labor people. For God's sake these people are there to complete the factory so American workers can work there. Currently there is no American companies or workers that can take their place since American manufacturing is hollowed out so much. Talk about shooting yourself in your foot.
专家描绘成“非法移民”,仿佛他们像低收入的体力劳动者一样越过了边境。天哪,这些人是来完成工厂建设的,以便美国工人能够在那里工作。目前,没有美国公司或工人可以取代他们,因为美国的制造业已经被掏空了。真是自作自受。

If the US put high enough tariff, they will shift some part of it to the US for the US market only. Which is really not much in term of future and global share for a lot of goods and product types. Some major products like pc, electronic can be make in the US and cars, but they will be made and sold only in the US. Which doesn’t really change “deficit” status. Since the price is so high you can’t compete with themselves in foreign factories.
如果美国加征足够高的关税,他们会将部分成本转嫁到美国市场。这对于很多商品和产品类型来说,未来和全球市场份额的影响并不大。一些主要产品如电脑、电子产品以及汽车可以在美国生产,但它们只能在美国销售。这并不会改变“赤字”状态。因为价格这么高,无法在外国工厂与自己竞争。
@garysarela4431
No one in their right mind would be shifting manufacturing to the United States.
理智的人是不会将制造业转移到美国的。
@AJF-v4i
What do you mean humiliation? South Korea should have acquired work visas for these people. American companies don’t sneak U. S. Citizens into South Korea to work in American plants.
你说的“羞辱”是什么意思?韩国应该为这些人获得工作签证。美国公司不会偷偷把美国公民带到韩国,在美国工厂工作。
@sharonbaca487
They did have visas. They came under a category called training visas. They have special skills in building and training others on their methods. Not only will Hyundai not be able to complete the plant, but this has caused a huge diplomatic break with an sllie. An LG plant was to be built next door. Think they will follow through?
他们确实有签证。他们是以培训签证身份来到的。他们在建筑和培训他人使用他们的方法方面具有特殊技能。现代汽车不仅无法完成工厂建设,这还造成了与盟友之间巨大的外交裂痕。原定在旁边建设LG工厂。你认为他们会继续进行吗?
@alrodriguez3857
Those Koreans are not USA citizens they are Korea citizens .and undocumented
这些韩国人不是美国公民,他们是韩国公民,且是无证移民。
@isp-r4o5u
"When the factory is completed, it will create not just 300 jobs but over 10,000 jobs for Americans — is that what they couldn't tolerate?"
“当工厂建成后,不仅会创造300个工作岗位,还会为美国人创造超过1万个工作岗位——难道这就是他们无法容忍的原因吗?”
@MassiveSpectacular
We should be making big fines for US companies who hire illegal workers. It’s not that hard for major corporations to file some paperwork!!
我们应该对雇佣非法工人的美国公司进行重罚。大公司提交一些文书工作并不难!
@QatazaYahYasharal
Um Sir, Americans can do all the jobs that have been sourced out to LOWER wage countries! THAT is the problem. Not knowledge!
嗯,先生,美国人完全可以做那些被外包到低工资国家的工作!问题就出在这里,而不是知识!
@SpyderWebbX
Sub-contractors inside the compound brought in illegal immigrants, South Koreans that crossed the border or over-stayed their visas. They thought working inside Hyundai would protect them and hide them among South Koreans that have valid work visas in the country.
Large American companies, including the one I work demand you submit a green card or proof of U.S. citizenship as condition for employment.
What makes Hyundai exempted? Even Hyundai just announced that they made a mistake in not checking their sub-contractors.
You are welcome to do business in our country. But don't break our laws.
承包商在工厂内带来了非法移民,这些人是越过边境或签证过期的韩国人。他们以为在现代汽车工作能保护他们,并让他们混入拥有有效工作签证的韩国人中。
包括我所在的公司在内的大型美国公司要求员工提交绿卡或美国公民身份证明作为雇佣条件。
现代汽车为什么例外?现代汽车刚刚宣布他们在检查承包商时犯了个错误。
欢迎在我们的国家做生意,但不要违法。
@VanessaagrawalRealtor
I’m sure South Korean don’t need to work here. I’m sure their country is strong and they don’t need to sneak in
我相信韩国人不需要在这里工作。我相信他们的国家很强大,不需要偷偷摸摸地进入美国。
@Houndini
Pretty simple these contractor’s knows our laws but broken them anyways. Companies hire them is not that innocent too they need to be charged & punishment a coming too!!
很简单,这些承包商知道我们的法律,但还是违反了它们。雇佣他们的公司也不是什么无辜的事情,他们需要被起诉,惩罚也即将到来!
@SillyButReal
Does he have any bad relationship with anyone, because he is like a tape recorder, never nothing new
他和谁有不好的关系吗?因为他就像一台录音机,永远没有新鲜事。
@dinaek7171
Why is implementing laws in the U S done in a such humiliating way to foreigners? Don’t Americans learn how to respect others and their rights in American schools?
为什么美国执行法律的方式对外国人这么羞辱?美国人难道在学校里没有学到如何尊重别人和他们的权利吗?
@PortfolioPL
"Korean companies employ hundreds illegally and surprised when got caught" Fixed the title for you.
“韩国公司非法雇佣数百人,结果被抓了,感到惊讶。”我已经帮你修改标题了。
@GamerCatLady1984
I watched a video of a guy calling out Asians for not standing up, and everyone kept saying that if we keep quiet, it won't happen to us. Smh. What happens to anybody here can happen to everybody here.
我看过一个视频,一个人指责亚裔没有站出来,大家都说如果我们保持沉默,就不会发生在我们身上。唉,发生在这里的任何事情,都可能发生在每个人身上。
@JosephCremin
They were illegal immigrants working in our country. South Korea knows our laws. South Korea made the problem,they should have hired legal American people to work here in America. It's their own fault
他们是非法移民,在我们国家工作。韩国知道我们的法律。韩国制造了这个问题,他们本应该雇佣合法的美国人来这里工作。这是他们自己的错。
@aditya-tech
I don't think any nation needs to respond to the uncertainty caused by the US, as the current administration is already doing a remarkable job of damaging their nation's image.
我认为任何国家都不需要对美国带来的不确定性做出回应,因为当前的政府已经在损害其国家形象方面做得相当出色。
@HelenaKings
May as well just shut down Hyundai and leave America. Why do business in a country that just breaks in and steals your employees
不如干脆关掉现代汽车,离开美国吧。为什么要在一个侵入并偷走你员工的国家做生意?
@max1mu5dc
Those Koreans were employees on a business trip to help build the battery factory that enables Americans to build cars. The issue is that ICE shackled and treated them like serial killers instead of simply giving Hyundai an official warning or penalty. It’s total disrespect, and a lose-lose situation. Imagine Americans being treated that way in a foreign country.
这些韩国人是前来帮助建设电池工厂的员工,该工厂使美国人能够制造汽车。问题是ICE将他们铐起来,像对待连环杀手一样,而不是简单地给现代汽车一个正式警告或罚款。这完全是对他们的不尊重,结果是两败俱伤。想象一下,如果美国人在外国被这样对待。
@somchai272
The foreign labor laws are to be respected in any sovereign nation. Not sure how this sheds a bad light on the US. SK seems to be ashamed. Not the Americans.
外国劳工法必须受到任何主权国家的尊重。不确定这如何使美国形象变差。韩国似乎感到羞愧,但不是美国人。
@richard9827
Why wasn’t the plant manager arrested or a arrest warrant for the CEO
为什么没有逮捕工厂经理,或者对CEO发布逮捕令?
@Greatgadgetsgear
So companies are to bring or build there businesses in America but only Americans can do the jobs? So you send immigration after the very people who have in work in America?? That makes no sense unless the jobs are only for Americans
那么公司是不是应该把生意带到美国,但只有美国人能做这些工作?然后你派遣移民局去抓那些实际上在美国工作的人??除非这些工作只属于美国人,否则这完全没有意义。
@RonHng
the seemingly dilemmas: invest into a place easily but training up skilled workers for the decades long gap???
看似的难题:轻松投资一个地方,但要训练有技能的工人来填补数十年的技能空缺?
@mayankrana9349
To the Americans that think that all these companies investing billions in America is going to shift the global or even local production to America...
It is not because they are just pretending to be, all those companies that are investing they have set the production dates nearly 10 years in future for America, by that time Trump would be long gone, till then they are just buying time. They are not going ever start producing in U.S for global market Americans neither have the enough people with required skills nor do they have the basic training facilities to train that amount of people in that time frx. Plus everything is already overpriced in U.S both the skill and material. Who in their right mind would pay 2 to 3 times extra for a car that is neither produced by the proper skilled workers nor it is going to have proper routine maintenance due to the lack of skilled car service and repair industry. It would be like buying a lesser product for many times more inflated price and with no future serviceability or resale value.
对于那些认为所有这些公司在美国投资数十亿将会改变全球甚至地方生产的美国人来说…… 这不可能,因为他们只是装作如此,所有这些投资的公司实际上已经为美国设定了近10年的生产日期,到那时特朗普早已不在了。直到那时,他们只是在拖延时间。到时候他们永远不会开始在美国为全球市场生产。美国既没有足够具备必要技能的人,也没有基本的培训设施来训练这么多的人。而且美国的所有东西已经被高估,无论是技能还是材料。谁会在理智状态下,支付2到3倍的价格去买一辆由不合格工人生产的汽车,而这辆车也没有足够的售后维修和服务,因为缺乏专业的汽车维修行业?这就像是买一个价值远低于价格的劣质产品,并且没有未来的服务保障或转售价值。

“What’s the point of even having an Asian reporter, when you can’t wheel em out when we got stories like this to report on.”
当我们有像这样的新闻要报道时,为什么还需要一个亚洲记者,既然你不能让他们出来?
@rager-69
Why were South Koreans working in GA? If they were here to train or provide expertise, why didn't they go through the proper channels? People with specific skills that can't be met get H1-B visas, which their employer applies for from US Labor Department. It sounds like Hyundai was being dumb.
为什么韩国人会在乔治亚州工作?如果他们是来培训或提供专业知识的,为什么不通过正式渠道?那些具有特定技能但美国无法满足的人可以申请H1-B签证,雇主可以向美国劳工部申请。听起来现代汽车在这里犯了傻。
@stevenwright6573
I will never in my life buy a Hyundai or Kia. They cheated the system, they are dead to me.
我一辈子都不会买现代或起亚。他们作弊了系统,他们对我来说已经不存在了。
@MegaGamerecorder
It is very hard to get working visas right now thats why many workers come with a travel visa. If you want korea to invest at least make it easier for people to come and do their job
现在很难获得工作签证,这也是为什么许多工人带着旅游签证来。如果你希望韩国投资,至少应该让人们更容易来工作。
@skiddish985
Notice how all the people here in the comments defending trump's decisions are unable to type out a coherent sentence without spelling or grammar errors.
注意到在这里所有支持特朗普决定的人,打出的句子没有一个是连贯的,拼写或语法错误一大堆。
@troyelam8978
Why would our border protection agencies catching hundreds of illegal immigrants strained the relationship between our country and their home country? South Korea should be bowing on its knees, begging our forgiveness!
为什么我们的边境保护机构抓住了数百名非法移民,这就让我们的国家与他们的祖国关系紧张?韩国应该跪下,恳求我们的宽恕!
@debirogers
They brought their own workers, which they have the right to do. This is ridiculous. Just get their papers in order. Do you want Hyundai here or not? They aren't American manufacturers!! Don't blame them for being angry.
他们带来了自己的工人,这是他们的权利。这简直荒谬。只要把他们的手续办齐就行。你们到底想不想让现代汽车进驻?他们可不是美国制造商!别怪他们生气。
@Sachinlkr80
We welcome hyundai to stablise more manufacturing plant in india as strong india south korea ties
我们欢迎现代汽车在印度建立更多的制造工厂,以加强印度和韩国之间的紧密关系。
@redskinman4429
Any country that does business with the USA while trump is on power deserves to be treated like crap. And their people too. Greed though.
任何在特朗普执政期间与美国做生意的国家都应该被当作垃圾对待,连他们的人也一样。可是贪婪让他们忍不住。
