Child labor in tobacco fields

We can all see how you feel.
Exploitation is exploitation. No matter in what venue.



fuck you liberals do, then why not send the to mexico?

why do liberals talk about jobs that americans wont. Americans will pick strwberries, but not at the same amount mexicans will.

if we didnt have mexicans, we hqve people picking strwa0berries, but wed have to pay them more

I know nine year old Mexicans that spell and punctuate better than you do.

Strawberries?

In Tobacco Fields?

Are you in the right thread?


No i was commenting on how liberals say that all the time. We have cheapmstrwberries due to mexicans and they cheer it on, but now theyre shocked, shocked to find mexican child labor int tobacco fields? And they dont even blame the parents who let it happen

Ah, gotchya.

How would the parents know that tobacco plants have nicotine?
:eusa_hand:
We're talking about Mexicans here.
 
Now the other side of the spectrum.
Jeez, imagine this happening.
Raising the minimum wage could lift hundreds of thousands of low-wage workers out of poverty, but it's also a job killer. Right?

Not so fast. In Washington state, small businesses are adding jobs faster than any other state in the country, according to a report from Paychex and IHS. It's also the state where minimum wage, at $9.32 per hour, is the highest.

And what better way to get kids introduced to the wonders of tobacco than to get them out there in the fields ready and willing to pick it?
 
This is who supports republicans everyone. Take a look...bask in all its horror

Actually, I support Tea Party Republicans and Independents. But I also support working for a living (something most Libs have never experienced). Growing weed in the basement doesn't count.

Yeah I said Republicans already and you support child labor. Nice resume

I worked in my home vegetable garden when I was 5. I learned how to use tools and I gained a sense of accomplishment when I saw the crops grow. I got my first paying job when I was 15 as a dishwasher. I felt so good that I could work for my own money and buy things I couldn't otherwise afford. So YES. I'm all for teaching Americans how to work at a young age. Screw the pussy Libs who disagree.
 
You are really something. The statements that you make to try to contradict something that is inherently wrong
It is quite evident that using someone,no matter the age or condition of the worker, as long as the company makes its targeted profit.
Money before humans.
What a sad person.



Holy shit, they blame us for this?

the article shows its mostly hispanic kids

first kids working on a farm is fine

second were are the parents?

third dont liberals like hispanic culture, are they racist?

fourth this is what you guys wanted, keep those prices down?

i love liberals that talk about cheap mexica labor and say no american would do field work, and then they bitch about salaries
 
Good way for a kid to learn what hard work is all about and a way to put some cash in his pocket. That's a lot better than learning how to smoke a joint or rob a liquor store.

There is a difference between hard work and exploitation.
 
Hell, lets give you some kind of medal.
Not for working but for being quite simple-minded on this issue.
It doesn't even compare to working in ones own garden.
How full of yourself are you?:cuckoo:

you're an idiot

what about my post do you disagree with?

Should kids not work on farms?

If you think the kids are too young, then shouldn't the parents do something?

And liberals always say they aren't taking our jobs, it's jobs we "Wont do"

10 Myths Conservative Media Will Use Against Immigration Reform | Research | Media Matters for America

I used media matter bro......you should love them
Since immigrants specialise in the most "manual-intensive" tasks, an increase in immigration is more likely to reduce the range of offshored tasks in an industry without affecting the employment level and type of tasks performed by natives

so it's good to have them do the fields, and damn it they have their kids working too

There is a difference between hard work and exploitation.

A man has a field. He offers to pay a wage. A person needs money. The person decides that it's better to have money than to not have money. The person can take the job or not take the job. End of really, really simple story.

By the way ... if the person is here illegally then they have no room to complain. If they don't like the wage they can hightail it back towards the south.

Typical of you to start with the insults.
It's your cavalier attitude towards the company's willingness to exploit children.
Then you feel all picked on when you say....they(whoever you are referring too) blame us for this too. You are so picked on and you are so sensitive.
Yet you have that "to hell" with them attitude towards minors.
Whew, no wonder you have this guilty consciences.

I actually do volunteer feeding street people in Denver but that's another thread.

Work is good for you. I don't even mind working for free sometimes because the work, itself, is good for the soul. I'm not so selfish that I need to GET something for everything I do.

So your argument is that kids shouldnt be in the fields and blame companies?

kids work on farms, maybe go to one and youl, see that, some of them have fun working on farms.. jesus get out of urban areas and learm about stuff that fly over country, i bet everything you know of middle america comes out of a left wing blog


but regardless, why not blame the parents?
oh and i love the money before humans, which is why uou support obamacare and his death panels. Remember, obama told a woman her mother should take a pain pill........

You either don't get it or you refuse to blame those that are exploiting others.
Nice try in deflecting too. Still your attitude is so blatantly cavalier about the companies that knowingly do this is quite horrendous.

Oh my gosh ... another tragic video. I feel so very sorry for these enslaved kids. How DARE they make these poor kids exert themselves. The kids should be taken away and the parents arrested.

"Nearly 75% of the children interviewed reported similar symptoms -- nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, headaches, dizziness, irritation and difficulty breathing. These are symptoms of acute nicotine poisoning, Human Rights Watch said."

We should force these subhuman con vemin into the fields and make em work and with hold water.

I pulled tobacco from 10-14 but it wasn't something people did every day. It is hard work, but it paid ok (great for a 10-14 year old) if you were part of a productive team. It made me hungry as a horse by the time I got home. The farm owner would usually ask if we wanted them to feed us, but we usually declined just so we could get home and get out of the heat and the nasty clothes.

The only people I know that had real health issues were the ones who worked the barns, but a lot of those people would chew the leaves too.
