We are not China where the families sell their young teens to the
factories for $5,000.  At least, not yet.

No we send our young teens to work in poultry packing plants
and in other dangerous and unhealthy jobs.  In case you had not heard
Southern states particularly are repealing Child Labor laws, after all what
is there to do with all that learning after the 8th Grade?

I thought DeSantis' attempt failed. I found this:
<https://www.newsweek.com/florida-plan-replace-migrant-workers-children-falls-apart-2068584>
but, of course, he could have tried again and succeeded.

In a way, of course, this sort of thing /admits/ that we need
undocumented laborers to do some of the work. It /admits/ that Trump's
"deport everyone who 'looks like a Mexican'" push is a bad idea
economically.

Apparently, even RealID is no guarantee that someone who "looks like a
Mexican" will not be arrested because the officer making the arrest
decides it is a fake.

A /sane/ administration would, of fake RealIDs is a real problem and
not just racist b*llsh*t, require (and enable) officers to verify the
validity of the RealID before making the arrest.

And, if fake RealIDs /are/ a problem, what sense does it make to use
them to screen for air travel? Or any other purpose?
