Agriculture secretary says there will be 'no amnesty' for migrants, adults on Medicaid can replace them in workforce

36. A lot of red states have been modifying their child labor laws to allow kids to work more hours and at a younger age.

And also to be employed in jobs they previously weren't allow to have, like mill work, where they would be operating machines.
The problem with using child labor is how to mesh it with their school time.
I would imagine the answer will be less class time at school, and less, or no extracurricular activities.
This is probably the unwritten part of project 2025; replacing adult migrant workers with kids, medicaid recipients, and all those former Federal employees.
After all, we're essentially at full employment now, so they need millions more available workers.
Eventually, they also expect AI to reduce the workforce of skilled and semi-skilled workers, who would then be available to take the low end, non-skilled labor jobs.
This is a vast social restructuring; a return to the time of a small aristocracy at the top, serfs at the bottom, and an overseer class to keep the serfs in line.
I don't think their plans will work, at least not without a lot of bloodshed.
