Were they migrant children? Quite likely.
The child labor problem is an immigration problem. One Republicans support. They don’t mind immigrants being here if they can be cruel to them.

FTA:
Most of the children are from Guatemala.
So yes, just are migrant children.
If we actually arrested and punished the people employing illegal immigrants we’d see some change.
Why would Republicans do that when they can just arrest and punish the immigrants themselves- if they don’t die first?
You know what happens when these companies end up killing children? They get a fine. And not even a very big fine.
I know it’s not a good look, but HEAR ME OUT! The equipment wasn’t even on most of the time!
Wow what a reasonable thing to do

It actually makes sense. Their tiny bodies contain less blood and leave less to clean up.
It’s great when my own humor still can’t stop me from crying. What is happening to our country?
Ah the return of the chimney sweep kids, was wondering when we would get around to repeating that horror of history.
Fascism.
I worked at a small meat processing facility when I was young, on the cleanup crew as well. I don’t say that to advocate for children doing these jobs, it was miserable, and dangerous, and incredibly disgusting. At the end of the day every piece of equipment had to be completely disassembled and each part cleaned. A lot of the meat is cut with a band saw, when the blade cuts the meat it turns some of it into a fine paste, think meat sawdust. That meat sawdust goes everywhere inside the machinery. To clean it you have to take the blade out of the machine which is like trying to fold 100 foot razor sharp knife onto itself, it’s very easy to get seriously injured if you aren’t careful.
How is no one talking about head splitters? Am I the only person who hadn’t heard of these before?
Animals are killed in a way that’s efficient and profitable, not in a way that minimizes suffering. You should sit down and watch Earthlings sometime. Meat is the largest industry in the world, but most people intentionally ignore how it operates.
I read it like 3 times as “mirrors” and I was like what? What does this mean?..
Man… I should not
redditlemmy in the early morning.Sir this is a Lemmy.
Oh shit…sorry a brain fart. As I said… the early morning…
They clearly forgot about Rexxit
Well somebody has to do it. And since they aren’t down in the coal mines anymore at least it’s a surface job… Darn soft kids of the iPad generation, nobody wants to work anymore…
/s
They are being conditioned to man the concentration camp mills
Children yearn for the
minesslaughterhouse.Wow that somehow seems worse…
Put 'em on the killing floor where they belong
/s in case it wasn’t obvious
Don’t these kids have parents? They should be here responsible as well
Do you want to know how the problem isn’t the parents, but instead it is corporate greed?
I’m not even a lefty and I can see where the problem actually is.
Most of these children are migrants who were likely sent across the border by themselves and live with distant relatives and/or shady people who want them to pay for their room and board.
