only illegals should be allowed to work on a farm.

The language of the proposed rule is so specific it would even ban youth from operating a battery powered screwdriver or a pressurized garden hose.

“The Department of Labor has proposed 85 pages of unreasonable and overreaching rules that would unnecessarily restrict the participation of young people in agriculture related activities,” said Thune.

Thanks Knabe! My daughter is doing her division 2 speech on this, and got some tough questions she could not answer so we are looking for more current information. The video took me to the senator of Kansas (Jerry Moran) web site where I am looking for more.
If any one has any more current information on this topic, please send it my way. She won Area public speaking, and needs to beef up her knowledge for District finals in a week!!
