  1. Thats the result of having illegal migration. Did ya think Jose only landscaped and Maria cleaned your kitchen? Don't cry about it now.

  2. I get it we are from the us, but do you think they actually think these jobs are actually a danger? If you can lift a log you can help out a manager. Seriously this is bs that we trip about this

  3. 13 to 17. Those are teens

  4. Who else will do the work?

  5. Okay back in the day kids younger than 10 did dangerous jobs like chimney sweeping and nobody gave a crap. Now we have morals and ethics 100 years later? I find it laughable.

  6. That wouldn't happen to be ibp would it

  7. I just quit that company. I worked as a chemical clerk. Their is definitely children

  8. Ride vice stories more lol

  9. Also, that fine is incredibly low. That is the cost of doing business, not a deterrent. The company should be shut down

  10. Where are the criminal charges? Millions have gone to jail for less

  11. Pretty shameful stuff.

  12. I see this exact thing every time I go to work. It’s not only in those eight states

  13. Boy oh boy so now meat be up to the skies coz they short handed at the plants???? I can see the down fall on production …. oh yeah the kids ! 😏

  14. Let them work if they want to work. As long as it's not forceful and work safety is in practice.

  15. Lol just like are government….

  16. You know we are all talking about PSSI but being from Nebraska myself, how come JBS has not said anything or did I miss something?

  17. I started working at 12 years old I was born and raised fifth generation in San Francisco, California. I did adult work in painting and window washing even though the job was given to me by grandparents, who were under contract and managing very large downtown apartment complexes..
    But my pay was more than what the average male adult would make. I was making the same wages as a contractor painting apartment after a tenant list or washing windows. .

    I was getting the wages that would be paid to a corporate contractor, but it was going to a 12 year old through my 17 year old age . Well, most kids were playing by the time I graduated I put it down on a house from my income..

    I see nothing wrong with children working if they’re paid correctly .

  18. Exactly why the border shouldn't be ignored. This Probably why the Dems are not handling the border crisis. Expect more stories like this.

  19. the smell that comes from the JBS is rancid 🤮🤮🤮

  20. As an Nebraskan, this is ungrateful. If our state is called “The Good Life” for a reason, Making immigrant children work at slaughterhouses is not it.
