Federal agents found more than two dozen minors illegally working inside a poultry plant in Kidron, Ohio, earlier this month, according to local immigration advocates who spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity.

The children, mainly from Guatemala, according to the advocates, were working in meat processing and sanitation in a plant run by Gerber’s Poultry, which produces Amish Farm Chicken, advertised with the slogan “Better feed, better taste.”

      Who hasn’t gone to a factory and played “factory worker”.

      I haven’t, I was too busy playing “miner” in the mines.

        What could be more wholesome than regarding children as property to be exploited for their economic value? Thank you conservatives, for fighting to bring back laws that lower the child labour age!
