The kids were "soliciting."
If instead, they were just walking down the street and a neighbor called out and said, "Hey, kid! How'd you like to earn a few dollars by shoveling the snow off my property?" then they'd be alright because it's all done privately on private property.
The cops would have no right to interfere with what a homeowner does on his own property at his initiation.
It's that the kids initiated the transaction by seeking it out. Next time, word of mouth would be the way to go.

You’re absolutely right. I think a lot of the people on this thread don’t get the door to door salesmen in their neighborhoods. They don’t realize what a nuisance they are.
OMG!! They were "soliciting" without a license!!
Throw them in jail.
How dare these teenagers take work from illegal aliens.
We have to protect the illegal aliens!
I have a half dozen illegal aliens that come to my door every weekend and ask to mow my lawn and trim my trees.
If illegal aliens get cited for "soliciting" they just don't show up in court and they are back the next week.
