The Biden administration has repeatedly ignored or missed warnings about a surge of migrant children as young as 12 working in factories across the U.S. under grueling and often dangerous working conditions in serious violation of child labor laws.
Hannah Dreier, welcome back toWe had you on for your first blockbuster exposé showing children as young as 12 working across the United States. Now you’re reporting that the Biden administration knew about this — not only knew about this and didn’t do anything, they actually did do something: They pushed out those within the administration who were raising alarms.
And what the White House has basically said is, “Well, maybe we saw these signs, but we didn’t put it all together.” What their response has been is sort of a lack of curiosity or a lack of conscientious thinking to realize that if we’re seeing kids in all these different places who are doing these jobs, maybe there is a larger trend here; maybe there’s thousands of these kids out there.Well, they did put it together sufficiently to force out five Health and Human Services staff members.
And she was pushed out. She was one of five people who I spoke to who filed complaints, who showed me their emails where they were saying, you know, something really wrong is happening here. And they say that instead of being listened to, they were demoted, and people just did not want to hear these warnings.I wanted to turn to the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, who was speaking on Tuesday.
And what happened after that, with all these kids working, was much less visible. You know, nobody is going to go and have a big newsreel about children who are working in the poultry plant, because you can’t get in there.
