These laws are being enacted, mainly at the behest of those big corporations because they no longer have access to an abundance of willing immigrants to fill those jobs.
Children should be in school, doing homework, eating, sleeping, not working in a dangerous chicken processing plant.
Nor am I opposed to young people getting work experience. I did it myself. I worked briefly when I was 16. Then when I was 17 I got a regular job while still in high school, but it was a job that didn't interfere with school: 5 to 9 PM weekdays and all day Saturday. It worked out great and was a great experience doing a wide variety of tasks. That's not the same as working on a production line in a chicken factory.
