NBC News is capping a yearlong investigation of U.S. child labor with the documentary “Slaughterhouse Children,” which includes new info on the death of Duvan Pérez.

 

 

The part that got me was when ppl would call saying an employee was using their id they'd shrug and say talk to the cops. (white people always hide crimes behind process)

This should come as a surprise to absolutely no one considering the use of migrant labor in the American meat industry as a whole.

I’ve always believed that if republicans really wanted to get rid of illegal immigrants all they would have to do is come down super duper hard on the American businesses who employ them. Pass a bunch of laws that excessively punish any business found with undocumented workers…

 

But of course they will never do that, because the hard truth no one wants to admit is that our economy (and those businesses) are dependent on these laborers. It's also funny that the vast majority of the very industries that depend on immigrant labor are the same ones that give so much support to the party that is constantly calling on measures that would actually harm their bottom line.

 

Republicans don’t actually want to fix the problem, because then they would lose one of their main methods of keeping their audience outraged and angry.

I have witnessed child labour myself for nearly as long as I've worked. Where some people get the coddled notion of moral society baffles me.

Well, also by keeping all the burden of punishment on individual workers, it keeps them in line. Keeps them from reporting unsafe work conditions, unfair labor practices, etc.
