Ummm... #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants

A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.

By Ja'han Jones, March 27, 2025

Excerpt: "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'

"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the #exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.

"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.

"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back 'hazard' regulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'

"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut #SocialServices, including funds that help provide #SchoolLunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program [#SNAP], that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

“This was an attempt to ‘#ThoughtPolice,’ & this victory over #totalitarianism is a testament to the courage of #librarians, #booksellers & #readers who refused to bow to #intimidation,” said Holly Dickson, the exec director of the #ACLU of #Arkansas.

Gov #SarahHuckabeeSanders, a #Republican, said in a statement that “#schools & #libraries shouldn’t put *obscene* material in front of our kids,” & she vowed to work w/ #TimGriffin, the state’s AG, to appeal the ruling.

#SarahHuckabeeSanders criticized #KamalaHarris for not having biological #children

Even one of #Trump’s snr advisers called the remark “offensive.”

Reigniting the “childless cat lady” discourse, #Arkansas Gov Sarah Huckabee Sanders — a key ally of Trump’s — went after #KamalaHarris during a town hall she moderated for Trump in Michigan, saying:

“my kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”

Why does Josh Marshall think Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders might be on Trump's short list as a v-p candidate?

"She’s an effective bully. She’s nasty. She’s not nice. …

In other words, SHS is really the worst American politics has to offer: crooked, a big liar and an enemy of all accountability. But that’s what Trump likes."

#Arkansas State Auditors have completed an exhaustive and extensive investigation into the purchase of a very expensive #lectern by Governor #SarahHuckabeeSanders, which has been alleged to have been used to cover up an unauthorized travel expense. They referred the findings of their investigation to a prosecutor's office that oversees #LittleRock to determine whether criminal charges should be filed.

The word that should stand out for us as we look at states like Arkansas, which are now dominated by one-party Republican rule, is the word corruption.

The corruption we see on full display among Republican leaders in states like Arkansas or Texas now is unparalleled in recent history and points back to the corrupt 1890s.

And it's going to get worse. They want absolute impunity from the law — for themselves, that is.

Marine Glisovic reports that after Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders appointed Jamol Jones to the state Board of Corrections, it was found he had been fired by the Benton, Arkansas, police department for having sex with a 17-year-old girl.

As Austin Bailey reports, Sanders' spokesperson Alexa Henning is defending the appointment because Jones talks about God and family.
