Trump trade and immigration agendas collide in Hyundai raid

Two key components of President Donald Trump’s agenda collided Thursday, when federal authorities launched an immigration raid on a Georgia construction site for a Hyundai electric vehicle battery plant.
The action came as Trump looks to secure $350 billion in investments from South Korea, as part of a broader trade deal. He is also seeking to revitalize U.S. domestic manufacturing with American-born workers while his administration arrests and deports foreign-born laborers.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Collided my ass, he wanted a better deal from them and raided their plant to achieve it. Either you give him infinity money and a cut of what he wants, or he raids your business. Now he waits for the new batch of sweaty donors to fawn all over him to avoid the same treatment.
Pffft, Trump doesn't need South Koreas $350B, Zuckerberg just whispered he'd give Trump $600B.
- Don't kid yourself. He wants both.
Didn't pay enough bribe money to grandpa president. When are people going to figure that republicans only have one goal and it's establishing a long term social heirarchy with the diddler n chief at the top.
I can’t argue against American factories having America workers
- Too bad the labor/pay balance only works by relying on exploited immigrants. You're saying that like immigrants are stealing the jobs. They're not. American-born workers refuse the jobs in their current state.
