Not that I would expect you to be able to think beyond the title of a news article, bro...

These workers entered the US with an ESTA visa that doesn't allow them to do construction work. They knowingly violated the terms of their visa. LG got busted for this in the past. You can't just abuse ESTA to bypass getting the correct L-1, H-1B, H-2B visas.

That's a list of Naturalized Americans. Anyways, CEO just means they know how to play the game/office politics the best. Pretty sure all the brains behind the company are nerdy Asian guys.

India is part of Asia. Many on the list had a h1b visa including the head of Microsoft and Google.

If you read with better precision, you would realize the people were arrested for violating the terms of their ESTA visa by working construction. An issue that has happened in the past. Facts must be brutal
