Instead of getting them documented, Republicans will instead relax cold labor laws so that 12 year olds can work in factories without a permit.

Married 12 year olds, to be exact
Nah they know better than to marry them. That's for mountain hillbillies. They just rape em now.
The solution would be a path to being here legally but I suspect that's untenable for rightwingers.
It could never be that easy. I mean, they'd have to admit they were WRONG.
It is probably best addressed by strictly enforcing immigration laws in red states so we can see what happens. Red states rely on undocumented workers even more than blue states.
I’m all for enforcing immigration- but there also needs to be a realistic path to citizenship.
Especially because companies are bringing them up and exploiting them knowing they can’t easily go to the authorities
if only there was something a right wing saint had done we could point to.
The solution: Amnesty and citizenship. Screw this "Everyone must suffer trying to be here." They wanna be here. There are jobs for them. Just swear them in and forget all this bullshit.
I wouldn't go as far as citizenship. Work visa, at least. And you know why that won't happen. Stealing out jobs and all that.
I would. Hell, just to punish the guys who are hiring below the minimum wage I would give them citizenship AND a union card.
Make them pay all the workers the difference between their actual wages and minimum wage up to a few years back and, once established that they do in fact work there, it's up to the employer to prove they weren't there that long but require full access to those books and include everyone in them for the back pay. Plus personal liability for anyone who was aware when it bankrupts the company.
Edit: and the reporter is fast tracked through the citizenship process.
I love it
This is also the result of the fact that getting around without a car is likely impossible in most cases so the only option is illegals driving illegally.
Framing this around the dairy industry makes me want to vomit. That whole industry needs to collapse
