'Allow children to do it': Fox News host calls to replace immigrants with child labor

By David Edwards
Published July 27, 2025 9:27 AM ET

Fox News host Charlie Hurt argued that President Donald Trump's administration should bring back child labor to replace undocumented immigrants.

Following a visit to a blueberry farm over the weekend, Hurt argued with Fox News hosts Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Kirk about whether or not the government should be subsidizing small farms.

"And the debate, you guys, is what should government — I mean, look, it's very labor-intensive to do, for example, blueberries," Campos-Duffy said. "So what should government subsidize?"

I have an idea Kirk, Hurt, Campos-Duffy................get your million dollar asses off that fucking white couch and have your little minions go into the field and pick blueberries......and then get back with people ........lead by fucking example you racist POS..........

I want kids to be educated to move the country forward not fucking backwards..........you POS's............

A personal attack on any DU Poster (Feel like this is necessary for the Cultural References).

They aren't using my Great Nieces or Nephews. Fuck that.

We will hide our Black children from them. They don't get Free Labor from Black folks. That's not a thing. AmeriKKKa got it for 226 years.

They need to GET someone else to do it. We are NOT the maga pubs Negroes.

Edification/Cultural References below. It's recently come to my attention that many non Black folks in America don't understand James Baldwin references.

Able-bodied Medicaid recipients in the fields.



Because cruelty and backwards thinking is the point. We need to start pulling out those old photographs of children working the mines.

Good times!

Actually when I grew up in NJ a lot of kids, (high school) got jobs on the farms during the summers. I think my brother picked corn one summer. But that is NJ with distinct growing seasons. And I remember there were blueberry farms where you could pick your own.

The day Hurt or that Campis-Duffy twit sends one of their kids off in 95° plus heat, to work 10-hours a day, getting paid by volume, will be proof these fuckers really believe the shit they vomit daily about “those” people.

our agriculture industry into a third world capitalist venture that conscripts American children to do the work.

How does that make America Great Again?

About we force every registered Republican to do it. Or make the super rich do it for 6 months out of the year in order to get their tax breaks. No free lunch. If you want your exorbitant tax cuts and refunds, you must earn them.

...they are Catholic radtrads who forego all contraception. One of their children (their youngest) has special needs (Down's Syndrome). This isn't a real good look for her.
