Federal officials discovered that more than 100 minors were found working in meat packing facilities across the Midwest, many of them cleaning slaughterhouses with dangerous chemicals. The company that employed those children has now been forced to pay more than a million dollars in fees. NBC’s Julia Ainsley reports.

What a nothing burger 🍔
I worked at 14 !
If they want to work, mor power to them !
Because they lie about their age to make money because that is the goal of every migrant, not education, not religious beliefs, not crime, its money , how stupid are people , does anyone actually believe these investigations?
Time to start eating meat fellows. Let’s get healthy by eating organic fruit grains vegetables legumes etc. If not, you’ll keep hearing the same story in the near future. Filthy business.
I've done this job. It's brutal, it's back breaking and the the time I accidentally got cleaner on my arm, where a tattoo is, it burned so deep it stripped the ink out. This is unacceptable.
Avacados from Mexico! Just one of many resources america imports for economic growth
If they are illegals then they kind of are used to this.
Who cares! Their illegals! Biden let them in this country so go talk to him! I’m sure he has answers on what should be done for the illegals coming across our wide open border!🤣😂😆🤣😅
Anybody noticed how there was no mention of these "children's" ages?
16 and 17 is NOT a CHILD. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK IF THEY SO CHOOSE.
Leftists are slowly chipping away at our foundation. Destroying the collective psyche of our society. It's okay if minors work.
Yea they are working off the debt to the cartel for trafficking them here . The Biden administration is involved in human trafficking are the southern border.
Did you all see it? Or are you asleep? it's right there in plain sight do the math….
3 years 102 kids. Let's do the math. If you take an average pay of 50k a year (for Hazardous waste clean up 🤣) Multiply that by 36 months multiplied by 102 people that is a grand total of:
$15,300,000.00.
This company loves money & power. They made a great decision for themselves and its corporate shareholders & CEO. They got all the work done, with horrible hours & horrible working conditions. They are Laughing all the way to the bank and enjoying paying their $1.5 million dollar penalty (fines) check. They aslo showed Allegiance to the new world order & the Democratic Party. The packers have a deal with Feds and the WEF. Everyone in the circle gets paid, no one held accountable, new houses & Cars and yachts for the rich elite involved. Fake federal investigation leading to absolutely no one landing in jail for the crime. A absolutely BS Fake News & Journalist organization who are part of the deal to write a misleading story. What about the kids what did they get? ZERO nothing they get used and abused. God is watching❗️ “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.”
— Rom 12:19
Why is this a problem now? Am I missing something? I have worked since I was 14. Why can't these kids work if they choose? Do you liberals not realize that some people in this country struggle to provide? Families work to support each other we have done so for millennia. This reeks of white liberals privilege. Looking down their noses at regular people just trying to survive.
Wow can’t believe this is happening in the states. I’m gonna start raising my own chickens
Who would have thought the meat industry could be shady?
This is what it’s like when we don’t have a president
Let the migrants work the conditions us Americans won’t do. It’s all good!!!
Remember when Chuck Schumer said the corperations need employees and without them America will die. Pepperidge Farms remembers!
who is going to prison???
Well, did you expect them to be….. pan handlers or dishwashers??
Pay your workers right & stop discrimination then they wouldn't be hiring kids…cheap labor
The "kids" identify as 21.. what's the problem?
Protect our borders! ICE needs more funding!
Just imagine what the cartels are doing with all those kids pouring across the border.
All of them were probably trafficked across our Open Southern Border. Thanks Joe
So pack them all up and send them back to Mexico
It’s a job🤷🏿♂️
It's all about money!! They don't care about their employees whether they are kids or adults. Accountability starts at the top.
Poor kids, have to work to sustain their needs. Maybe they knew it’s hazardous to their health but have no choice. The gov’t and private sectors should work together to give assistance to these kids to have a future healthy citizens.😢
"Skull splitters and razor sharp bone saws". Yall really trying to scare people huh?
Deplorable, I knew they had to be immigrants, racism at its finest, preying on immigrants childrens is just detestable. Let children be children, they ahould shut this company down & all penalties should go to these children.
And people wonder why the Bden administration doesn't care about border security.
