By the way, the news reports that were cited by TC Talks referred to the youths as "migrant children."

To fault him for the term the news organizations used is unfair and comes across as petty. Are the youths in question here illegally? Probably, but that's only supposition at this point. Criticizing the news organizations for failing to dig more deeply into that question is certainly fair game, of course.
It's absolutely fair. Yes, the news organizations should know better, but to propagate the error further when someone should know better is also very wrong.

So you expect TC Talks to subpoena and personally review the immigration status records of the children involved? How do you know for certain that none of the children's parents are here legally?

He simply referred to them as "migrant children."

There is nothing I've seen to suggest that term is inaccurate here. Illegal immigrants are migrants and so are legal immigrants.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

These are 12 to 14 year olds and you find this funny?
Your statement using the term "Migrant" is funny....
I take it you haven't read a dictionary.

You just won't admit it will you...
If the Biden Administration would have done more at our Southern Borders...
Let ICE do their jobs...
Clamp down on the flood of Illegals pouring into the USA...
Enough of the "Sanctuary Cities/States BS (When it's time to be a Sanctuary location, suddenly it's NOT time to be)
If Joe and Kamala would have had a grip on this situation, just MAYBE "Child Migrant Labor" would not be an issue with you...
It's epic Chaos down at the Southern Border, you won't admit that will you?
All in the name of votes...

The Atlantic magazine broke this story months ago, New York Times reported on it again this week.

So far I'm not overwhelmed by how the conservative posters responses to a story of children being exploited by large corporations.

Blame everyone but the people directly responsible for the crime. I guess that's what we expect from Trump supporters, right?

You are a dim bulb aren't you. The Labor Department is taking action, aren't they? This investigation has been going on for months.

Why hasn't the Republican lead Congress created meaningful immigration reform for the last 12 years?

I've been talking about this since March, and your shitbags in Congress are too busy trying to shut down the government instead of doing meaningful work....

Big hint... the GOP had 2 years of all the marbles from 17-19 and did nothing about all of these pet peeves conservatives have when the could have done lots of things. Why? BECAUSE YOU VOTING FOR THEM TO STOP THESE THINGS ARE WHAT MATTERS... THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ANY OF IT! It's lip service so you'll put them in and they'll do yet another tax cut. No policy proposals at all... no ideas... just riling up rubes such as yourself to get votes.

Who is getting the payment for the kids' work? The parents? Do the kids get to keep it? Or is somebody else getting it? Or are they working for free?

Then we both agree, The Biden Administration is clueless on this issue and has no idea how to override previous GOP policies on this issue, correct?

Then we both agree you are a rube. The issue is solvable by opening a series of stations along the border to process the people in an orderly manner, document them and the whole works. Much like all those people coming over on ships 100 years ago. Trying to throw them all out and thinking we have the resources to do it to 11 million or more people is lunacy.

It's effectively slave labor. The "contractors" are these kids legal guardians in the US. They effectively adopted these kids and put them to work in sweatshops. I hope Tyson and Purdue receive landmark fines. Both corporations are top tier Republican supporters.

I am having a hard time verifying that "top tier" part. Both seem like rather small potatoes when it comes to donating money.

They're PAC spending is impressive. The fact they created their own PAC is telling.
