Balanced News: Biden administration vows to crack down on companies exploiting child labor

The Biden administration announced new steps to crack down on child labor violations, including tougher investigations of the companies who may benefit from the work. The steps come days after a New York Times investigation into the explosive growth of migrant child labor across the U.S. Hannah Drier, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who broke the story, joined Geoff Bennett to discuss. Drier explained that migrant child labor is a huge issue because it often forces children to work long hours for little pay, which can lead to exploitation and trafficking. The new steps include increased training for law enforcement officials and more outreach to businesses to warn them about the dangers of employing child labor.
