Hilda Solis: Illegal Adult Labor? No Problem. Illegal Child Labor? Top Priority

Hilda Solis, the U.S. Secretary of Labor, gave the keynote address at my college in May.

At the viddy, Solis argues that "every working in the U.S. has a right to be paid fairly, whether documented or not."

Okay, no worry about illegal workers? Not going after employers who hire illegals? Solis came off way more tough last month on the subject of child labor, maybe the standards are different. Adult illegals: No crackdown. Child illegals: Crackdown:

"With the goal of ending illegal child labor as a top priority, our investigators are using every tool available — from imposing civil money penalties to using the ‘hot goods’ provision — to end these violations. In the coming agricultural seasons, the department plans to increase both outreach to workers and investigations of U.S. farms. After all, those farmers who follow the law deserve a level playing field.

Hmm. Maybe we should just end illegal labor, period.
