7. Maybe they should have had work visa's?

In September 2025, over 300 South Korean nationals were detained and subsequently removed from the U.S. following an immigration raid at a Hyundai electric vehicle manufacturing site in Georgia. They were found to be working illegally, possessing expired visas, or using visa waivers that prohibited them from working, prompting federal officials to act against the unauthorized employment.

What Japanese?

Try working illegally in China and see how that goes.
