The more accurate way to look at is that the American right hates migrants and people of color so much that they would force their children into hard labor just to make sure nobody who sounds or looks different receives any kind of benefit.
Not their children… other peoples children. You know… the poors… those kids can work long hours for low pay and since they are poor, they will be stupid enough to be happy about it. The people voting for this do not need to worry about it affecting their kids… or think they dont…
Farms have historically used their children as free labor back when they were mostly family owned. That’s why most schools here have a three month summer break. Now they want the factory farms to have that same perk, just with other people’s children.
This country has, throughout its entire history, relied heavily on immigrants to make up the shortfalls in its labor force. A full stoppage of immigration is going to collapse the United States economy. Sooner than later.
Yes, if we remove our migrant population then we literally lose the majority of our food production workers. I think it’ll also impact our construction work force, much of our factory workforce, our waitstaff, and various other jobs US citizens turn their noses up at - because those jobs literally would not sustain them and would destroy their bodies over time. Most of these jobs are sustained entirely by the desperation of immigrants trying to escape their prior circumstances.
Edit- added more detail in bold to make it clearer the the issue lies in how these jobs are conducted rather than being with US citizens.
Jobs that typically don’t pay enough for the cost to your body, health, and mental sanity. The overlords love the illegal immigrant stuff because it lets them put the thumbscrews to the workers, both in terms of downward pressure to the wages paid out, and in terms of desperation so the people without other options are forced to work in horrible conditions for terrible pay.
It’s telling that they blame the migrants workers for “stealing the jerbs” instead of the businesses that hire migrants workers in order to get around paying a fair wage
Why blame a white capitalist when anyone else can take the fall?
That’s a fair critique, I made it sound more like US citizens are snobby for rejecting underpaid, dangerous jobs when in reality the US’s base infrastructure still entirely relies on a form of slave labor to persist. I should’ve been more nuanced with my description.
It’s not even a critique, really. We’re all fed up, angry, and looking to throw around punches at everything. My comments are just as much about venting and getting mad.
Now that you’re saying. Really expected them to use actual 9 year old children for this. But even so, it doesn’t look like a bright future if they’re forcing adolescents and young adults into slavery.
So let me get this straight. The US needs Migrants so much that we’re needing to replace them with teenagers?
I mean, that’s one way to look at it.

Florida briefly tried to enforce it on this basis and immediately had a labor crisis so afaik they stopped.

Whoa whoa whoa, teenager is already a bit old and commands more hourly
