JOE BIDEN AND MEXICO'S SLAVE LABOR IN AMERICA - APPLAUDED BY THE 'CHEAP' LABOR U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE - These workers are part of a new economy of exploitation: Migrant children, who have been coming into the United States without their parents in record numbers, are ending up in some of the most punishing jobs in the country, a New York Times investigation found

 

Border surge's boom in child labor forces Biden to go after Ben and Jerry's, Target, and other wokester corporate allies

A few days ago, the New York Times published a major investigative report about how Joe Biden's open borders have created a boomtimes for illegal alien child labor exploiters.

These workers are part of a new economy of exploitation: Migrant children, who have been coming into the United States without their parents in record numbers, are ending up in some of the most punishing jobs in the country, a New York Times investigation found. This shadow work force extends across industries in every state, flouting child labor laws that have been in place for nearly a century. Twelve-year-old roofers in Florida and Tennessee. Underage slaughterhouse workers in Delaware, Mississippi and North Carolina. Children sawing planks of wood on overnight shifts in South Dakota.

Well, now Joe Biden says he's 'shocked, shocked,' at Hannah Dreier's extensive report highlighting the surge in child labor exploitation not seen since the days of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, and says he simply has to take action:

The Biden administration on Monday announced a wide crackdown on the labor exploitation of migrant children around the United States, including more aggressive investigations of companies benefiting from their work.

The development came days after The New York Times published an investigation into the explosive growth of migrant child labor throughout the United States. Children, who have been crossing the southern border without their parents in record numbers, are ending up in punishing jobs that flout child labor laws, The Times found.

The White House laid out a host of new initiatives to investigate child labor violations among employers and improve the basic support that migrant children receive when they are released to sponsors in the United States. Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, called the revelations in The Times “heartbreaking” and “completely unacceptable.”

Turns out unaccompanied migrant children need support, lots of support, they're expensive. The Bidenites have not been paying for that support after they've let them all in as come-one, come-all asylum cases. They've been handing them off to creepy human traffickers who've gone unvetted, some taking huge numbers of kids in groups of 20, and packing them off to work at the egg farms or a host of other industries.

The Times described how that goes:

But as more and more minors have crossed the border, the Biden administration has ramped up demand on H.H.S. staff members to release the children from shelters as quickly as possible. Mr. Becerra has urged staff members to move with the speed of an assembly line, The Times found. The department rolled back protections that had been in place for years, including some background checks and reviews of children’s files.
 
A spokeswoman for the department said last week that it was in the best interest of children to be quickly moved out of detention and that the department had not compromised safety.
 
Once children are released, they have few options for additional help. Most leave shelters with little but the phone number for a national hotline run by H.H.S. The Times found that children were calling the hotline to report labor exploitation and hearing nothing back. Operators were generally referring calls to local law enforcement and other agencies, who may not have followed up.
 
On Monday, senior administration officials said Health and Human Services would now direct operators to return calls to children and require them to explain what local law enforcement agency would be in touch.

Maybe these kids shouldn't be here in the first place but that isn't anything the Times, nor the Biden administration have ever considered. Just shovel out more of the taxpayer money and "punish" companies who exploit the kids, including those up the supply chain and they've got 'er fixed, right?

Not exactly. The interesting part of this is who the exploiters-to-be-punished are. Who are these brazen violators of child labor laws reminiscent of what goes on in some place like China or Bangladesh?

None other than Biden's own wokesterly company allies:

The Times found products made with child labor in the American supply chains of major brands and retailers, including Ben & Jerry’s, Fruit of the Loom, Ford, General Motors, J. Crew, Walmart, Whole Foods and Target. In Grand Rapids, Mich., children worked late nights at plants operated by Hearthside Food Solutions, which makes and packages food for other companies, including General Mills, Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats.

 Ben & Jerry's? Bailed-out General Motors? Wokester kings Target and Walmart? Greenie-sustainable Whole Foods?

Be interesting to see the response when Joe Biden goes after them -- and there is plenty of reason to think that Biden is too cowardly and cynical to do it.

The Times reports that Hearthside Foods, which contracts with General Mills, is currently under investigation. That company is not famous for its greenie virtue-signaling or donations to Democrats. The others, though, have been loudly virtue-signalling for years and turns out they are the biggest exploiters as well as big donors to Democrats.

So will Biden really do it, or is his claim to be investigating exploitative corporations just a public relations measure, targeting only a few token non-woke corporate violators to have something to tell the papers?  

We all know which answer is more likely, which may well mean that this child migrant labor exploitation, along with Joe's open border, continue. Biden after all, is loyal to his allies, and both he and they have a job to do to maintain that migrant pipeline into the states

As for Biden himself, the impact of his open-borders policies as the problem at the root of the problem, somehow never gets brought up. It raises the question of whether the crackdown on corporations is little more than a bid to cover up his own role in the horrible exploitation of migrant children.

Finally: New York Times Admits Biden’s ‘Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs’

Hundreds of thousands of migrant teenagers are working “brutal jobs” to pay off their smuggling debts amid President Joe Biden’s loose border rules, the New York Times admitted in a February 25 article.

“Cristian works a construction job instead of going to school. He is 14 … Carolina packages Cheerios at night in a factory. She is 15 … Wander starts looking for day-labor jobs before sunrise. He is 13,” are the newspaper’s captions of photographs showing young teenagers admitted via the “Unaccompanied Alien Child” border loophole.

The children usually work for staffing companies at low-wage subsidiaries of Fortune 500 companies, such as PepsiCo., General Mills, Walmart, Target, and Ben & Jerry’s.

The article is headlined: “Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.”

The article may crack the bipartisan establishment’s shameful silence about its wealth-shifting policy of extracting teenagers — and millions of foreign migrants — to replace sidelined U.S. workers.

The report by Hannah Dreier admits:

These workers are part of a new economy of exploitation: Migrant children, who have been coming into the United States without their parents in record numbers, are ending up in some of the most punishing jobs in the country, a New York Times investigation found. This shadow work force extends across industries in every state, flouting child labor laws that have been in place for nearly a century. Twelve-year-old roofers in Florida and Tennessee. Underage slaughterhouse workers in Delaware, Mississippi and North Carolina. Children sawing planks of wood on overnight shifts in South Dakota.

In November 2020, Dreier posted an excellent report on child workers for ProPublica.org.

The expanding population of child workers has been an open secret in Washington D.C. for several years. Breitbart News has extensively covered the official support and media tolerance for this child labor force.

The silence is ensured by Democrats’ claim they are merely protecting “unaccompanied” children in a “Nation of Immigrants.” But that claim is entwined with Democratic donors’ demands for more immigrant workers, renters, and consumers.

Biden’s progressive deputies have admitted roughly 320,000 migrant children since January 2021. “About two-thirds of all unaccompanied migrant children ended up working full time,” the newspaper reported.

GOP legislators also are silent about the scandal, even though the Democrat-backed child abuse is far larger and more deliberate than Trump’s supposed “separation” policies of 2018 and 2019. GOP leaders forego the political opportunity likely because they do not want to antagonize their local donors by ever mentioning the economic purposes of the government’s migration laws.

The youth labor trafficking pipeline was largely stopped in 2020 by former President Donald Trump amid loud opposition from Democrats and immigration reporters.

The article by the New York Times, however, is likely to crack the establishment silence about the massive scale of child exploitation.

Unsurprisingly, the newspaper soft-pedals the complicity of Democrats and migration advocates in this human rights scandal.

For example, the newspaper minimizes any mention of the two architects of the child labor force — Biden and his pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.

So the newspaper offered a no-name, passive-voice description of how the problem grew after the Democratic Party’s investor-and-progressive coalition pushed President Donald Trump out of the White House:

This labor force has been slowly growing for almost a decade, but it has exploded since 2021, while the systems meant to protect children have broken down.

While H.H.S. checks on all minors by calling them a month after they begin living with their sponsors, data obtained by The Times showed that over the last two years, the agency could not reach more than 85,000 children. Overall, the agency lost immediate contact with a third of migrant children.

Instead, the newspaper drops the blame on Xavier Becerra, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, which is supposed to protect child migrants. “Staff members said in interviews that Mr. Becerra continued to push for faster results, often asking why they could not discharge children with machine-like efficiency,” the newspaper reported.

Many of the teenagers are being released by Biden’s deputies to recognized labor traffickers — not to friendly relatives, the newspaper says. The traffickers force the teenagers to work long hours at low wages and also take debt payments from the children before they can send cash back to their poor families.

The newspaper’s focus on Becerra may divert media attention from Mayorkas, who faces impeachment by GOP members in the House.

Extraction Migration

The federal government has long operated an economic policy of “Extraction Migration.” The policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.

The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced native-born Americans’ political clout, and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.

The policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.

The colonization-like policy has also killed many thousands of unrecognized migrants, including many on the taxpayer-funded jungle trail through the Darien Gap in Panama.
