Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has welcomed foreign investment and talked tough against illegal immigration. The fallout from an immigration raid on a Hyundai complex that detained 475 people raised questions about whether those stances conflict. Among those detained were more than 300 South Koreans, sparking questions in the Asian country about its relationship with the United States. Hyundai says it's investing $26 billion in U.S. plants, with more than $10 billion of that planned for Georgia. Kemp's office has only stated that he supports enforcement of immigration laws, emphasizing that companies must comply. Kemp's administration rejects suggestions that a projected $2.1 billion of incentives to Hyundai subsidize illegal employment.
