Lawmakers in Republican-led states are proposing and passing legislation to roll back child labor regulations.

In states like Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, and Arkansas, newly passed or pending laws allow companies to hire children without work permits and allow children to work longer hours under more dangerous conditions in places like construction sites, meat packing plants, and automobile factories.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is struggling to enforce existing federal regulations on child labor.

The Department of Labor reported a 69 percent increase in the number of children, many of them undocumented migrants, employed illegally by companies since 2018.

How are child labor laws changing from state to state?

âItâs just crazyâ: Republicans attack US child labor laws as violations rise

Changes lawmakers are seeking, such as expanding types of approved work, will potentially ‘put kids in dangerous situations’

If they are old enough to rob a 711 they are old enough to work.

Children were working long before we decided to diefy them. Democrats think children are old enough to prostitute. They can work.

You can't believe what he is saying? Maybe that's because it should not be believed
It's interesting how you people just lap this shit up without considering any context or what information is being left out. Telling one side of a story-the side that fits the narrative that you want to covey-while omitting essential facts is call propaganda-something that Hawley and others of his ilk are quite good at

Here is the whole story incase you’re interested, which I doubt

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/20/ingraham-hawley-child-labor-migrants-border/

It’s true, as a New York Times investigation found, that underage teenagers are working long, brutal shifts in factories and other businesses in violation of child labor laws. When your kid eats Lucky Charms for breakfast or a Nature Valley granola bar for school snack, they might have been packaged by kids of roughly the same age.




What’s more, many of those kids are migrants from Central America. Those who arrive unaccompanied are placed with a sponsor by the Department of Health and Human Services. And yes, soaring arrivals have compelled HHS to move them to sponsors quickly — sometimes too quickly, caseworkers say.

But here the right’s argument veers into deception. For instance, Hawley’s claim that HHS doesn’t care that nearly 90,000 kids have been “lost” to “slavery” is wildly absurd.

Here’s the deal: HHS does a follow-up call to sponsors to check on kids, and in the past two years, 85,000 such calls went unanswered. But an HHS spokesperson says sponsors and kids are not required to answer checkup calls; we only know sponsors didn’t pick up the phone, nothing more. (Hundreds of thousands of minors have crossed the border, and HHS says 81 percent of follow-ups are answered, so unanswered calls are not representative of the situation.)

Nor is there any basis to conclude that those unreached kids correlate with those who end up in exploitative situations. There is plenty of grounds to worry about those kids, but Hawley’s claims are unhinged speculation.
