    🚨 They told us illegal aliens just “pick crops.” Yesterday, 475 workers were detained at Hyundai’s $4.3 BILLION megasite in Georgia. Not farms. Not fields. 👉 One of the most advanced EV battery plants in America. The lie just collapsed. 🧵

    2/ Federal agents stormed the Hyundai–LG battery plant near Savannah. ➡️ 475 detained ➡️ Largest single-site immigration enforcement in DHS history ➡️ Majority were foreign nationals, many South Koreans This isn’t lettuce-picking. It’s high-tech, high-dollar jobs.

    3/ Hyundai is calling this project the “largest economic development in Georgia’s history.” Yet hundreds of the jobs — subsidized with YOUR tax dollars — were being filled by people here illegally. This is what “Bidenomics” really meant.

    4/ For decades, the media said: “Illegal immigrants do the jobs Americans won’t do.” But when Trump cracks down, where do we find them? ➡️ Auto plants ➡️ Tech factories ➡️ Construction of America’s “green future” These are some of the best jobs in America.

    5/ Think about it: Those 475 jobs should have gone to: 🇺🇸 Georgia welders 🇺🇸 American electricians 🇺🇸 Young people just starting out, building families Instead? Outsourced to illegal labor while Americans are locked out.

    6/ Trump’s DHS has expanded authority for USCIS agents: 👉 Investigate 👉 Arrest 👉 Prosecute employers who violate immigration law This Hyundai bust is just the beginning. Corporate America has been warned.

  7. #7

    7/ The Left defends illegal labor as “compassion.” But the truth is: ➡️ It’s exploitation ➡️ It undercuts American workers ➡️ It guts wages in industries that should be booming Every job stolen is another American family cheated. That includes LEGAL immigrants.

  8. #8

    8/ This was the largest worksite raid in DHS history. And it exposed the biggest lie of the open-borders crowd: Illegals aren’t just “picking crops.” They’re taking some of the BEST jobs in America. Trump is ending it. 🇺🇸 rodmartin.org/p/deep-dive-wh…
