What an argument in bad faith. You are being extremely reductive in order to glaze over the litany of other issues here.

Minors should not be cleaning dangerous equipment in slaughterhouses. Not to mention the lack of labor protections, blatant disregard for existing labor laws, the fact that most of the children are undocumented... need I go on?

And I was called out for a slippery alope argument when critiquing loosening child labor laws (https://apnews.com/article/child-labor-laws-alabama-ohio-c11...). Seems like we are at the bottom of the slope already.

Either way, disregard for child labor law might not be happening in some of these cases.
