Hahahaha oh my. This was their plan? Get rid of immigrants to return jobs to American fucking 8 year olds? Fucking lol.

You don't understand. Only poor 8 year olds would need to work. The normal 8 year olds will be unaffected. /s

Yeah, the right seems fine with their policies hurting other people as long as it doesn't hurt them, so fair point.

I once saw a reddit post in which someone asked what the most Libertarian thing anyone can think of is. The best answer I saw was 'An 8 year old coal-miner smoking a crack pipe.'
