Oh no, Make America Great Again meant child labor will be back! To replace migrant labor disappearing with massive deportations, De Santis (Florida) proposes to ease the laws that impedes children labor.

"De aprobarse, menores de entre 14 y 17 años tendrán permiso para trabajar más de 30 horas a la semana, en horario escolar y en cualquier otro."

@hadon Allowing child labor is part of project 2025, the deportation is just the newest excuse. Seperately, the chatter started well before Trump even entered office driven largely by the meat packing industry that already uses a lot of child labor illegally. This isn't incidental, it is part of the agenda.

@multilinear oh, I haven't read the details of the so called project 2025.
But why bring child labor back? (oh well, I ask and at the same time I tell myself: if there's less education available...)

@hadon Yup, I think that's probably a big piece. More workers and less education is good for fascism.

Children and women are also often easier to exploit or even traffic - you can look into Chinese sweat shop documentaries for examples of how this works.
