In recent years, an influx of migrant children fleeing poverty and violence in Latin America has provided a pipeline of workers for employers willing to exploit them
A white American child dies in a factory and it's still somehow those darn Mexicans.
Not to mention that US is the primary reason people are fleeing Latin America. Decades of coups, death squads, regime changes, and general destabilization of Latin American nations have created this massive humanitarian crisis. Now US is blaming the very people it brutalized and whose countries it destroyed for fleeing their conditions. It's so absolutely psychopathic.
Holy fuck, I live like 2 hours from where this happened.
Industrial revolution beginning vibes... how is this still happening? Literally sacrificing people to the poor-people-to-profit grinding machine
if they're comfortable pushing for loosened child labor laws openly, god only knows what kind of shit they're pulling under the table.
