Nothing wrong with working. Let’s think about it Marianne, that’s what these Children came to America for. At least they’re not being forced to work for free as a slave. At least these children can work, and make enough money to pay rent. That’s what it’s all out in America.

My God has blessed these Children to work and make an honest living. As long as they have a balanced work life with School and Education , then I’m all for it. Let’s get the Children Financial literacy, and start setting them up for success. Their hard work will lay off.

As long as the children are provided with healthcare, bank accounts, pay their taxes, enroll in school and go to Church. Family reunification…

I don't understand the outrage. Sure, it's not ideal but 13 year olds can work on a farm. They've been doing that since forever. It's why country people used to have like 8 kids. Farm hands. It should be a choice. School is important too but that can happen during non peak season

"Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S. Arriving in record numbers, they’re ending up in dangerous jobs that violate child labor laws — including in factories that make some of the country’s best-known products"
