ICE Arrest HUNDREDS Of Foreign Workers As Economy Tanks

Federal agents with ICE recently conducted a MASSIVE immigration raid at a Hyundai facility in Georgia, arresting hundreds of people who were contributing to the economy. ICE loves to get people while they are at work as the administration claims that they are only going after criminals. But this raid comes as the economy is hemorrhaging jobs and companies are laying off workers left and right. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Last Friday, ICE federal agents carried out the single largest onsite raid of the entire Trump administration, arresting 475 foreignb born individuals at a Hyundai plant in the state of Georgia. Now, according to Steven Shrank, who is a special agent in charge of Homeland Security's investigation into this Hyundai plant, Mr. Shank says that these people, actually, let me just read this. Um, those who exploit our workforce, undermine our economy, and violate our federal laws will be held accountable. He said that those arrested had illegally crossed the border, entered through a visa waiver program that prohibited them from working, or had overstayed their visas.

Let me reiterate something just in case you missed it the first time. These people were at work. Oh, but they weren't allowed to work. Oh, God. Heaven forbid somebody that's not allowed to work is actually contributing to the United States economy. An economy that's on its own last leg right now. We could use all the workers. We could get we could use productivity. We could use people earning money to then go and spend it in the rest of the economy. Oh god, what a horrible thing to happen. And you're like, but they were here illegally. 475 people, including some from South Korea, cuz it's a South Korean company, that were just over here on business. They were checking out the plant that was being built to make sure everything was going along properly. They were here legally. They were here on a business trip and they got arrested because ICE doesn't differentiate. ICE doesn't do their homework. They don't do their background checks. They say, "Holy crap, you don't look like a pasty white man. I'm going to lock you up. Come with me. I don't want to hear your excuses. I don't even want to see your papers. Get in the car and let's take you to our little concentration camps. These people were working. I mean, Republicans tell us every day like any able-bodied person needs to be working. And yet, ICE in order to find all these so-called bad people always has to go to work. Right? We need to talk about that more. And I know a lot of people on the left do bring it up, but that needs to be the focal point. Trump even told us about these workers that were arrested in Georgia. He said, quote, "We had, as I understand, a lot of illegal aliens. Some not the best people, but we had a lot of illegal aliens working there. Not the best people. Not the best people. These were not criminals. Almost all of them, by the way, were from South Korea. But these were not criminals. These were not people that were out there, you know, graffitiing up and, you know, mugging people or any of that stuff. They were working helping the United States as part of an investment agreement that South Carol uh South Korea, excuse me, has with the United States that Trump himself worked out. What the [ __ ] is going on? He got South Korea to agree to invest several billion dollars here in the United States. They're [ __ ] doing it with their people, which they're entitled to. And he sends federal agents down there to arrest them. You got what you wanted from that country and you did this anyway. I hope South Korea pulls out. Scrap the plans. Get rid of the plant. Or tell you what, don't put it in a red state. Move it over to Colorado. Move it up to Michigan.
