Fox News host Charlie Hurt argued that President Donald Trump's administration should bring back child labor to replace undocumented immigrants.

Following a visit to a blueberry farm over the weekend, Hurt argued with Fox News hosts Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Kirk about whether or not the government should be subsidizing small farms.

"And the debate, you guys, is what should government — I mean, look, it's very labor-intensive to do, for example, blueberries," Campos-Duffy said. "So what should government subsidize?"

I have an idea Kirk, Hurt, Campos-Duffy................get your million dollar asses off that fucking white couch and have your little minions go into the field and pick blueberries......and then get back with people ........lead by fucking example you racist POS..........

I want kids to be educated to move the country forward not fucking backwards..........you POS's............

2. This is not

A personal attack on any DU Poster (Feel like this is necessary for the Cultural References).

They aren't using my Great Nieces or Nephews. Fuck that.

We will hide our Black children from them. They don't get Free Labor from Black folks. That's not a thing. AmeriKKKa got it for 226 years.

They need to GET someone else to do it. We are NOT the maga pubs Negroes.

3. The US Secretary of Transportation and Director of NASA's wife is debating child labor on Fox News...

Let that sink in.

We're doomed.

4. The kids can join the . . .

Able-bodied Medicaid recipients in the fields.



Because cruelty and backwards thinking is the point. We need to start pulling out those old photographs of children working the mines.

Good times!

5. He has 3 kids. Start with them.

Actually when I grew up in NJ a lot of kids, (high school) got jobs on the farms during the summers. I think my brother picked corn one summer. But that is NJ with distinct growing seasons. And I remember there were blueberry farms where you could pick your own.

6. Unless it's your kids, you mean.

The day Hurt or that Campis-Duffy twit sends one of their kids off in 95° plus heat, to work 10-hours a day, getting paid by volume, will be proof these fuckers really believe the shit they vomit daily about “those” people.

7. So, we remove adult workers who are willing to do the work...and then turn

our agriculture industry into a third world capitalist venture that conscripts American children to do the work.

How does that make America Great Again?

8. Let those 3 out in the fields and see how long they last.

Half an hour?

9. Or how

About we force every registered Republican to do it. Or make the super rich do it for 6 months out of the year in order to get their tax breaks. No free lunch. If you want your exorbitant tax cuts and refunds, you must earn them.

10. Sure, and then they can work in the coal mines TSF loves so much.

11. Well, the GOP sure likes the little kiddies to do things, cough cough, trump/epstein...

12. Where in hell does FAUX find these "hosts"? It's like they interview with a cruelty

questionnaire and select the most diabolical person. Kirk is an idiot who can't even construct a cogent sentence.

13. Campos-Duffy and her husband have nine children...

...they are Catholic radtrads who forego all contraception. One of their children (their youngest) has special needs (Down's Syndrome). This isn't a real good look for her.
