00:00
Not more than ever more Children are crossing the border alone and
00:03
working dangerous jobs here in the States.
00:06
Since 2021 400,000 Children have crossed the border alone and the government
00:10
is placing most of them as sponsors who are not even their
00:12
parents. That's scary.
00:14
Like, like you don't even know who these people are,
00:17
you know, strangers.
00:18
Yeah. Like, I think thousands of them work illegal,
00:21
full time jobs in construction farms and factories.
00:25
Some work at warehouses used by companies like mcdonald's for and Cheerios
00:31
There are even reports of Children making flaming hot Cheetos every
00:35
night saying their lungs burn from the spicy dust.
00:41
those are toxins, you know,
00:43
and that's really bad for their health.
00:47
they're Children, they don't know better,
00:49
you know, and they're here,
00:51
their parents are not with them for the most part.
00:53
That's why they take advantage of.
00:54
Yeah, exactly. Children's Dennis 12 have been found working in
00:57
chicken plants or car factories essentially.
01:00
You know, it's the economy of expectation and many have unsafe
01:03
working conditions. Migrant child workers have died in slaughterhouses and even
01:09
a chicken factory that produces for Chick Fil A,
01:12
there are sadly many cases like these,
01:15
like what's going on in the back end.
01:17
We don't see this stuff doesn't put it out.
01:20
Exactly. They don't expose it but kids are escaping poverty and
01:23
most times work to send money to their families.
01:28
But this also has to do with stricter border laws.
01:32
No. Yeah. It's crazy because harsh immigration laws make these
01:35
kids have to use services to get them smuggled over here.
01:38
And these smugglers are expensive.
01:39
Right. And so these kids end up owing them money and
01:43
what they have to do,
01:44
work in these unsafe environments and jobs.
01:46
And it's crazy to pay off their debt.
01:48
Exactly. And there are also concerns of child labor trafficking and
01:52
that minors are exploited by their nonparent sponsors here to work.
01:57
So they're taking advantage of them and even worse Republican lawmakers are
02:01
trying to loosen child labor laws leaving them with even less protections
02:09
So that's it, make sense.
02:11
Make it, make sense.
02:13
But that's our government folks.
02:15
That's our government. Anyhoo,
