Passing a law that allows children to take a job without parental consent at 14 years of age strips the parents of their rights to make that determination.
This is what we'll get if we block immigrants from coming into the country.
We already have a labor shortage, mostly due to the Covid pandemic. We really need the labor pool that immigrants provide.
But instead we get child labor; all part of the Republican plan for the next Trump presidency.
