Federal agents on Sept. 4 arrested hundreds of people at a sprawling battery plant construction site in Georgia in one of the Trump administration’s largest immigration raids.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced agents from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency, as well as Georgia State Patrol took part in the operation at Hyundai’s battery plant in Bryan County, southwest of Savannah. Agents apprehended about 450 people suspected of being in the country illegally, ATF said in an X post.

Ya know I can understand a company hiring a few illegals without knowing it, I can even understand a company hiring a few that they knew were illegals.
but how in the hell can a company hire 450 people and not know they were illegals.
Whoever knew this and hired those people needs to see some jail time.

What the liberal media does not want you to know and understand about mass uncontrolled illegal immigration is that in accordance with the US Federal immigration laws all illegal aliens found in the USA are subject to arrest and deportation. It does not matter if they have known criminal records or not. It has to be that way.
If the immigration laws were ever changed to where only illegal aliens with known serious criminal records would be subject to arrest and deportation in the future with all illegal aliens without known criminal records being exempt from arrest and deportation, the USA would be unable to defend the US borders against unstoppable masses of illegal aliens gaining unlawful entry to the USA, or administer future effective immigration laws, as unlimited numbers of future illegal aliens who did not have known criminal records from all over the world would know that once they gained entry to the USA, that they would be able to stay, and be exempt from arrest and deportation.
How many aliens from all over the world, including poor and uneducated aliens from the so-called Third World would then move to gain entry to the USA would be anyone’s guess, would it be tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, who knows? The leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats would love that to happen, as such a mass migration into the USA, with unlimited numbers of illegal aliens, mostly consisting of poor and uneducated peoples, would permanently change both the political and racial demographics of the USA to the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats favor, and permanently change the population dynamics of the country beyond the point where the USA would be a future minority-majority populated country, with the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats in permanent political power, as they transitioned the current USA into some sort of future socialist utopia and just another Third World Country. Once that happened would there then even be such a nationality status or matter that a person is a US citizen?

Unless Hyundai and LG were acting as the contractor for the job, the onus will be on the contractor and any sub-contractors working at the site.

Hyundai executives were shocked to find out that illegals worked in their plant.

Before hiring people, employers are to have them fill out immigration form I-9. Did they? https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-9.pdf

So the South Korean “slicky boys” who run Hyundai were “shocked” that hundreds of illegal aliens from South Korea were arrested at their facility! Give us a break, as only leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat politicians would claim they believe that!

If nothing else, these raids should slow down the mass illegal immigration flooding our borders. Many may decide it's not worth it to make the effort like the long trek from South America just to be turned away or deported.
