    They’re basically:

    “this isn’t good enough! They can do more! I’m a petulant child who will throw away my vote so Trump can win, and surely THAT will change something!”

    The fine for illegal child labor is capped at $15k/ child and a max $700k. No criminal charges whatsoever.

    It gets really old seeing meta comments like this that have nothing to do with the actual article.

  This would literally save lives in TX, FL and other states that have removed lives! How can you vote against this?? Yet we all know the republicans will shoot it down. Heartless

    Try to understand the Repubs’ perspective. Won’t this harm the billionaires’ stock portfolios? Getting financially cucked by the wealthy is more important than our safety or even our lives.
