It sounds like this was just a construction site where they’re building a Hyundai car plant - not illegals working “at a Hyundai plant.” They weren’t working at a Hyundai plant per se because it hasn’t even been built yet.
I’d bet the whole construction project was outsourced to a construction company, who would actually be the ones responsible for hiring all these illegal workers.
You're right the construction company most likely hired the illegals, but the Contractee is responsible for the contractor they hire.
The Contractee is responsible for ensuring the contractor they hire is abiding by OSHA regs, etc. so 100% they're responsible for illegals being on site because they knowingly did not do their due dilligence.
