"Nobody wants to work."

"Better start hiring desperate and exploitable immigrant children, because paying people better might lead them to believe we respect them or that their lives have value."

Exactly the Democrats nor Republicans give a shit about the workers. So no surprise that they don't address this issue. Instead they sit back and let states repeal child labor laws that we fought and bleed to put an end to.
