It does seem to fall under the violating your 5th amendment right not to have to incriminate yourself, since if you do violate these rules *and I'm talking clearly a clerical violation, and not using a minor* you can serve jail time.
If some guy running a poultry farm, forgets to document on some form where the chicken's were shipped to, he will only be assessed some civil penalty.

The FBI cannot walk in to a Target department store and say "We think you might be in violation of some law" without having cause. They have to have some kind of proof that some kind of crime is being commited - and usually need some kind of a warrent.
Does the FBI randomly pick employers across the country to see if any labor laws are being violated? No, of course not.
This is a reactive law, not proactive. They aren't trying to stop anyone from breaking the law, but trying to catch them after the fact.
