This is Trump's election mandate: deport illegal immigrants who are flying under the radar, stealing American jobs. These workers were not only working illegally, but they were making good wages on a taxpayer-subsidized green project. These aren't low-skilled gigs; they're prime manufacturing roles Americans deserve. Sending 300 back to Korea enforces the law, protects wages and honors the voters' will.
What the pro-deportation camp is leaving out of this story is that this raid disrupted a $4 billion investment in America. These workers were highly skilled, which is why their presence at the factory was so vital. Deporting them also strains ties with South Korea, a major ally and investor. Trump's immigration crackdown risks derailing strategic manufacturing goals for political points.
