About 450 people were apprehended as several law enforcement agencies descended on the Hyundai Metaplant site in Ellabell, about 25 miles west of Savannah, officials said, in the latest example of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration at workplaces across the country.

and, of course,  Governor Hochul is outraged at the latest NY ICE operation.  

"Hochul said such operations “will not make New York safer” and will “shatter hard-working families who are simply trying to build a life here.”"

There are circumstances where a Visitor visa could work and it be OK, for examply if LG whgo got a mention were supplying machinery and they sent over installation crew, however it seems they went well beyond this.

Many moons ago my Brother worked for one of the Big 4 and was seconded to NY for a few month, I always assumed he went on a L but nope VWP.

Many aliens simply walked in across the wide-open southern border.  The others, perhaps the majority over the years, were issued legitimate tourist or student visas abroad by a Department of State more concerned with facilitating travel than protecting America.  Those illegals simply stayed in America as they pleased, as long as they pleased, doing whatever they pleased, whether that be working out-of-status or, in the extreme case, going to flight school and conducting the attacks of September 11.  There was no one to interfere with their plans once a visa was issued and they were admitted to the U.S., because America for decades lacked any form of internal immigration enforcement.  Until now, and now everything has finally begun to change.  [...]
