Trump asks foreign companies to ‘respect our Nation’s immigration laws’
President Donald Trump has called on all foreign companies to respect U.S. immigration laws following a massive raid in Georgia. In a post on Truth Social, Trump welcomed foreign expertise, but asked that all workers come to the U.S. legally.
“Your Investments are welcome, and we encourage you to LEGALLY bring your very smart people, with great technical talent, to build World Class products,” Trump said on Truth Social. “We will make it quickly and legally possible for you to do so. What we ask in return is that you hire and train American Workers.”
Immigration raid in Georgia
The post comes after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained 475 individuals last week in a federal raid at Hyundai’s new electric vehicle plant. The site is a $7.6 billion project slated to produce EV batteries and create thousands of jobs.
Following the detainments, the U.S. and South Korea struck a deal. It will allow hundreds of detained workers to be sent back to South Korea. Officials said they would be put on a charter plane once the paperwork cleared.
Foreign expertise
When asked about the raid, Trump said America still needs foreign expertise to help train workers in critical industries.
“It’s a battery factory, in that case, as I’m told. And, you know, when they’re building batteries, if you don’t have people in this country right now that know about batteries, maybe we should help them along and let some people come in and train our people to do, you know, complex things, whether it’s battery manufacturing or computer manufacturing or building chips. So we’re going to look at that whole situation,” Trump said.
Following those comments, Trump shared the Truth Social post. He said, “Together, we will all work hard to make our Nation not only productive, but closer in unity than ever before. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
South Korea’s foreign minister heads to Washington on Monday for talks. The talks could include whether all detained workers could be sent back on a voluntary basis.
