Hundreds of undocumented immigrants apprehended in massive ICE raid at Hyundai plant in Georgia

 

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/us/georgia-plant-ice-raid-hundreds-arrested-hnk

 

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.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

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.”"

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

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.

 

And by the sound of it pure illegals, overstayers and who knows what.

 

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.

 

I remeber him mentioning that there were loads of IT guys visiting from India, packed into a house, seems they applied en masse and the ones that got one were sent over for 6 months.

I think that the rationale of internal enforcement is stated well and sounds reasonable.  Comments on this article?

On Immigration, Trump Is Just Enforcing the Law

The millions of illegal aliens resident in the United States got here primarily through two avenues of neglect, exacerbated by a lack of internal immigration enforcement.  Here's how the system works, and what has changed under Trump.

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.  [...]

Trump Orders Visa Review Of Anyone With One Of Those Squiggly Line N's In Their Name

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of the administration's ongoing effort to remove illegal immigrants, President Trump has ordered the visa status reviewed of anyone with one of those weird "squiggly line n's" in their name.


In addition to squiggly line n's, Trump has also ordered a visa review for all people whose names have more than three consonants or are just really hard to pronounce.


"We're going to find all the people who aren't supposed to be here, starting with the 'squiggly n' people," said Trump.  "You know the little squiggle they draw over the 'n', it's so funny looking, everyone says so.  [...]

Hunter Biden Warns That Without Illegal Immigrants, The Price Of Prostitutes And Crack Will Skyrocket

 

WILMINGTON, DE — As part of a wide-ranging sit-down interview released on YouTube, Hunter Biden warned Americans that, without illegal immigrants, the price of crack cocaine and prostitutes would skyrocket.


In an urgent plea to the American people, Biden told the public that President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies threatened not only to affect various industries across the country but also drive the cost of hard drugs and sex slaves through the roof.


"These essential products will become totally unaffordable to the average American," Biden said.  [...]

Border Patrol finds 55 people hidden behind false wall in box truck

Border Patrol agents arrested two men last Thursday after finding 55 people in the country illegally hidden behind a false wall inside of a box truck.

The arrests came after Border Patrol agents were conducting surveillance at 10:07 p.m. and observed a box truck arrive at a stash house in Mission and [...]

So, they found anti-ICE inscriptions on the bullet casings?  The left is responsible for the demonization of ICE.
