Child Labor

U.S. child labor laws were put into place in 1938 to protect the educational opportunities of youth and prohibit their employment in jobs that are detrimental to their health and safety. But, as shown at left, today’s mass deportation of immigrants under the Trump administration has put pressure on businesses to find new sources of unskilled labor, and children are the natural target.

It’s hard to think of a single element of life for the common American that isn’t worsening by the day by Trump and his policies.
