Of course there are child workers, I don't deny that. But there are many more adult, illegal, immigrant workers who, if were deported, would need to be replaced. Do you believe that children workers could fill the void, do just as good of a job and get paid the same so that the prices of food don't increase?

I say no, but I'd like to know if I'm wrong.

No, I don't think children would be as effective as adults.

More importantly, why would we want them to be? Our priority for children should be education, not a steady stream of cheap labor.

Not only "not as effective", but impossible to get even kids to work. Not even mentioning the HUGE increase in price to the food.


But yes, of course we should never implement this. Felix's idea is bad on all fronts.
