Immigrant children are already being exploited and are dying doing roofing work. You want to put children in the workforce but they would not be safe. If we had a pilot program in place and had some successful results that would be a different situation, but we have kids working 30 feet in the air with no safety gear. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/14/us/roofing-children-immigrants.html

Maybe you didn't know about this. There's kids all over the country working shitty jobs like cleaning meat packing plants at night-on their hands and knees scrubbing blood off the floor https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/09/nebraska-slaughterhouse-children-working-photos-labor-department

How do we get from where we are, to where you think we should be?

What’s your point? Those things are already illegal. The second article says so in the title.
