Liberals SHOCKED that "unaccompanied minors" are being exploited in the USA . . .

https://dnyuz.com/2023/02/25/alone-and-exploited-migrant-children-work-brutal-jobs-across-the-u-s/

Last year those on the political left were outraged that “unaccompanied minors” were finding it difficult to illegally enter the USA. So various executive orders and court decisions flooded the country with these kids.

THIS YEAR, the left is outraged that these same minors are working illegally in factories and farms.

Check out the link above. Some kids were allowed entry in to “rejoin” relatives they had never actually met before in their lives. Is it any wonder they made no effort to find these kin, and immediately hit the bricks looking for work?

Okay . . . the link above is focused on kids working a cereal factory. In restaurants. NYC Food delivery. Now imagine the kids the NYT reporters DIDNT find. The "sex workers". Drug mules. Captive nannies and maids, like the ones which elites in Saudi Arabia and China have.

What we have here is a failure of basic logic. If thousands of kids enter the USA without their parents, are given a slip of paper and told to report back in two months, what did anyone EXPECT was going to happen? Certainly our “open borders” activists and media didn't have a clue.

Now these kids are a “scandal”. There is outrage that people would actually hire then. The "villains" are supposedly the places that employ them. Not the people who opened the borders, then turned their backs on them.

Morons make a mess, then point the finger at everyone else.

Full disclosure – NYC now has an estimated 1,500 illegal/unlicensed pot dispensaries. And even a door-dash style marijuana delivery service. How many underaged kids do you think are involved in things like THIS? While you're at it, why not check out those hotels which NYC converted to emergency housing for illegals? I betcha people could buy drugs, or time with an underaged girl there. . . How else do you think they're making money?

Republicans have fought tooth and nail to maintain the existence of this gigantic underclass of people working under the table, unable to rely on law enforcement protection & labor rights, and then do an about-face whenever those same people get exploited by human traffickers and otherwise victimized by violent criminals. I used to think they really believed that continuing to use the same policy of strict immigrant criminalization would somehow work this time if they did it just a little harder, but with the length of time it's been failing for, I struggle to call it anything other than malice.

@BlueVeins do you have a link to substantiate this?

all corporations - no matter what affiliation - seek to control labor expense, and automate if they cannot.

if you doubt this, just examine the flow of jobs from the US to 3rd world countries. India. Pakistan, Turkey. Mexico . ..

Evidently Elon Musk announced yesterday that he is sending some Telsa assembly jobs to Mexico. Wasn't Tesla the darling of Democrats a few years ago, and the recipient of Billions and Billions in tax credits and subsidies to provide "clean transportation"?

I'm not sure ANY cars should have federal subsidies ,whether they run on batteries, are hybrids, use hydrogen, or some weird technology we haven't thought of yet.

But I'm pretty sure that if Taxpayers are asked to subsidize ANYTHING those cars should be made in the USA. Not Japan, Mexico, China, South Korea . . .etc.

Not sure what electric cars have to do with this, but I do agree that subsidizing electric cars is an inadequate solution to the climate crisis. A focus on public transit & zoning laws is paramount, but sadly the US is decades behind on that entire conversation. Having said that, the EV tax credit is actually pretty protectionist in how it works; no car made outside of North America qualifies.

@SusanInFlorida Sooner or later, we need to stop the myth of 'Murican-made. Every car for the last 35 years has included parts sourced from other countries. An “American-made” vehicle might have 6 different countries’ hands in it.

Here’s why subsidies. Because while EVs may not be the solution, the do propel us farther down the road. Success is built on trial and failure, by two steps forward and 1 step back. Because just settling never got anyone anything except what they settled for.

But in the same way you have to give people deals to do things, you have to incentivize them to do more than the bare minimum. Subsidies accomplish that.
