There are concerns about the sanitation there, and there are concerns about just how many people are crammed into these places.

According to the federal complaint, what the Fuyao business owners did was create this pipeline to import, house, and employ undocumented labor at this auto glass factory, obviously because they are not going to pay them as much as you would pay a documented person, and certainly not as much as a UAW union represented person at the Vitro factory.

So it's all about, it's all a cost savings ploy here.

No one's been criminally charged in this case.

I could not find if there were any people who were deported because of that raid in particular, right?

So the thing with the raid was a number of people who were undocumented and were on the rolls for Fuyao or their suppliers just didn't come to work that day.

And of the people, the federal complaint says, of the people who were absent that day, the vast majority were undocumented when they looked them up.

But...

Who knows where they're at now?

So vitro, when they start to see that this investigation is maybe stalled or it's not coming to a conclusion very quickly, they get involved in Washington and they start, you know, pressing on the members of Congress who have vitro plants, right?

So they're pushing hard on members of Congress and the Trump administration and, you know, trying to get their story in the press so that they can get more attention to this.

The Vitro people are pulling their hair out.

They feel like they're getting cheated out of the market here.

They're really trying to adapt to this new competitive environment, but they feel like Fuyao is not playing the same game that they are.

— What's happening with Fuyao, China hawks say, is internal dumping.

A company not shipping product from another country, but locating here in the United States, and then pricing their products so low that they push out all the competition.

So rather than importing lowly-priced goods, they are creating them here and pushing out existing competition.

What Vitro and what other China hawks in Washington will say is there's a broader issue with Chinese companies investing in critical sectors in the United States, even if they aren't doing human trafficking, right?

The automotive sector has been identified as a sector that is critical to national security, not just by the Trump administration, but governments' administrations before, right?

Now you have a Chinese company that...
