Children are dying doing jobs no child should even be allowed to work at. Yet states are continuing to gut child labor laws. As president, I will use every power at my behest to stop this. What a crass and disgusting display of soulless economics over the love of human beings.
Starting today, young children no longer need work permits to get a job in Arkansas. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2…

Kids aren't dying and you'll never be President.

So you are now prepated to make a statement condemning Biden's open border policy that enables this kind of child trafficking.

Funny (not). The adults in the background are all smiling, not thes kids.

There's a reason states can gut child labor laws. 🙄 Not saying it's right. Saying the federal government can only do so much & for you to claim you can somehow force states to change child labor laws, but not force them to educate their children equally and equitably is wrong.

Why would anyone want to deny a responsible child the benefit of being able to develop skills and make some money if they could do so? Many Gen Xers had paper routes or shoveled driveways as Kid’s, and it benefited us greatly. This is a solution in search of a problem

The kids DONT look so happy about it. You are sentencing many of them to death, it’s already started

The adults who stand to make a buck off the deal seem rather more well pleased about it than the kids who will be working under dangerous conditions for sub-par wages. Republican Gov. Sanders of deep south Arkansas is positively beaming at her accomplishment.
