   RL>  AT> Had I known prior to this that   
   RL>  AT> Hyundais were being made in the USA, I would have been more open to   
   RL>  AT> buying one. But now they can forget it; I'd rather buy a Japanese car   
   RL>  AT> than buy an American car that was made by illegal immigrants.   
      
   The cars themselves are not nor intended to be made my illegal immigrants.    
   The workers brought over were supervising the construction of the plant, and   
   the installation and training on the assembly line tooling and manufacture   
   procedures for the companies spec.   
      
   Does not excuse the visa issues, as that is the responsibility of the parent   
   company.   
      
   I worked in Korea for 13.5 years.  The US company that employeed me were very   
   meticulous regarding the original paperwork, the renewal paperwork which at   
   best occured once a year, at worst every 4 to 6 months.  Depending on funding   
   availibility at the time of renewal.  There were ALWAYS contingency plans in   
   plan during delays (IE: If we do not have the paperwork approved ready to be   
   taken to immigration by xxx.  You will be leaving the country until such time   
   as they are approved..)..  Any lapse in our VISAs (OVERSTAYS), could have   
   resulted in fines, deportation (jailed until we were deported), and an entry   
   ban.    
      
   Even with a valid visa, any negative involvement with the Korean legal system,   
   immigration was waiting in the wings to begin deportation investigations, even   
   if the charges were dismissed or dropped.   
      
   This is the reason I have no sympathy in this matter, any protests is the pot   
   calling the kettle black.
