22. From what I've read this am, it does appear they didn't have "worker visas."

That's called fraud and to conflate it with poor Hondurans, etc., seeking sanctuary - seeking employment and coming on their own, is just apples and oranges. It (appears) these workers were brought into the US by Hyundai and have been employed under false pretenses. Maybe getting the worker visas was time consuming and cumbersome and the company tried a work-around. Maybe they were in the process of applying for the correct type of visa? We don't have all the facts - but it's still illegal for people to work in the US having merely a tourist visa.
