What that article doesn't tell you is that those are illegal immigrants, who would be working illegally even if they weren't children. Those companies obviously don't care about the law.

- defrost 3y agoSo are children working in US factories and processing plants or not? The context here is whether child labour occurs in the US.
- leereeves 3y agoNo, the context is whether that labor is illegal. It is, and it remains illegal even with the changes discussed in the article. And those are mostly unaccompanied minors, with no other way to support themselves, so it's not so simple as saying they shouldn't be working.
