How do you suggest we should treat foreign illegal labor?

[mattnewton]

In this case, give them and the company responsible a court summons?

Instead they detained all the Koreans in the building and appear to have used them as a negotiating chip in an upcoming “deal” with the government of South Korea. This is behavior we expect of a banana republic not an allied nation of laws.

Like people, maybe? What is the point of treating them like violent criminals other than to dehumanize them? Is it really any more effective than one guy reviewing the payroll and passing out fines until the issues are resolved?

Besides, they haven't been charged with anything so in the US they are considered innocent.

Which is why they are being flown home. I see no dehumanizing going on. They were detained because they had no right to be in the country. You are putting a spin on this that simply doesn't exist.

I'm frankly baffled. You have a large capitalist corporation, flouting the laws of the country they're in and exploiting cheap labour. The US are simply enforcing the law like you would expect from any non banana republic. I can't think of in issue where the left should be so aligned with the government. It's a scandal and i hope the executives get held to account.

how about like any other kind

[votepaunchy]

So how should we treat foreign illegal non-labor?

[eli_gottlieb]

Like the wage-slaves of dangerous criminals.

[giraffe_lady]

This is easy lol you go after the people benefitting from their labor.

[politelemon]

Not like dangerous criminals. Not with white gloves. It isn't binary.
