US President, Donald Trump, has asked foreign workers to train Americans on “complex things.”
His call comes after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided a Hyundai plant in Georgia and detained about 300 alleged illegal South Korean workers.
Although he wants foreign comes to migrat to America and train Americans, President Trump urged foreign companies investing in the US to “respect” America’s immigration laws.
When asked by journalists to react to South Korea saying it was regrettable what happened to Korean workers in Georgia, President Trump says “Well, I’ll speak to them.”
He says “If you don’t have people in this country, right now, that know about batteries, maybe we should help them along and let some people come in and train our people to do, you know, complex things, whether it’s battery manufacturing or computer manufacturing, or building chips.”
He added that “We have a lot of industries that we don’t have anymore, and we’re gonna have to train people,” saying “And the way you train people is bring people in that know what they’re doing, and let them stay for a little while and help.”
According to him, ICE was right to detain them, saying those workers have to come legally, saying “At the same thing—time ICE was doing right because they were here illegally, but we do have to work something out where we bring in experts so that our people can be trained so they can do it themselves.”
