Child Labor, like illegal immigration, like having a narco state on its borders, like endless wars, like keeping opium production at record levels during its unjust, cruel, and senseless occupation of Afghanistan, benefits the US elites. It does not benefit you or I, plebes, but the holy few that are chasing profits at all costs while crushing everyone else. The US has a history of doing highly illegal stuff for profits and the unwashed masses be damned. This is just a lame attempt at saying that there's a problem and it's being addressed. It's like if you know your neighbor is very hungry and instead of inviting them for diner or giving them a nice meal, you give them a crinkled dollar. |

ICE officials raided a few facilities a few years ago, and actually found about 900 undocumented workers.
Many of them gave evidence to officials, including written instructions from the company that advised them how to fill out employment, banking, taxation paperwork if they "didn't have documentation", i.e. Tyson didn't just know this was the case, they were actively enabling it.
And in press conferences, when journalists asked about any plans to investigate/punish Tyson, ICE "had no plans to do so".
What it actually ended up looking like, with some other safety issues raised around that time is that Tyson perhaps decided their undocumented workers were getting a little too angry about poor safety standards, and making waves. It would be entirely unsurprising if Tyson made a sweetheart deal with ICE that said "Hey, if you come to these plants, you'll get to make this big stink about undocumented workers" (and remember, this was during the Trump administration), "but in return, can you leave us out of it?".
"Won't someone rid me of these meddlesome workers?"
