Yeah, one or two sneaky Koreans to help the cultural divide sounds plausibly okay, but an entire factory of undocumented workers? Seems hard to wash this one any way but clean.

Sure, if you don't want companies to build factories in your country, this is the way to go about it.

There are dozens of other ways this could have been handled.

America First! (just don't build factories here that boost the American economy)

Its impossible to build anything at all, if you were to go entirely by the book.

Wasn't the whole point of America being allowed to color outside the lines ?

Uh, they were BUILDING the factory. Which was then going to provide hundreds of jobs to Americans.

Seems hard to characterize this in any way other than calling it incredibly stupid.

spell out for me how that makes it ok to use undocumented labor

Sorry but as a legal immigrant (O1b then Green Card) -- they can easily apply for legal status if there were no possible skilled workers available legally, and locally. My personal barometer calls this unacceptable after.... 10? 20 examples? Almost 500!
