> Child exploitation is not an immediate downstream effect of having illegal immigration. It is a downstream effect of having an exploitative system.
I disagree. You have people outside of the system. It's hard to pass a law that protects these people because they are outside of the legal system by being undocumented
> people overstaying their visas or escaping violence.
Most of the people that are caught up in this situation came without a visa so please don't conflate the two.
> I feel like the point you are trying to make is that "It's only the exploitation of people who came here illegally, so it's no big deal."
Quite the opposite. I'm saying that pretending like having open borders and having all these undocumented workers and turning the blind eye necessary leads to exploration. And this includes exploitation of children. It's not humane to just pretend there isn't a problem. This is the same logic that thinks it's compassionate to let mentally ill people sleep on the streets and self medicate
