+1000 they're still removing the 700,000 criminals earmarked already for deportation by a judge.

So many au pairs are publicly posting on Facebook message groups looking for work as a "nanny" when they are actually undocumented from overstaying, and other nannies and moms publicly say they are interested, those moms need to be arrested as well.

It was close to indentured servitude. It is way past time for this deplorable program to be ended.

Ha ha ha ha! I have a bridge to sell you if you believe ICE is only detaining those who commit crimes!

many of the aupairs overstay and fail to leave so they are committing crimes

We've hosted 9 au pairs and not a single one has overstayed or committed a crime. They have lots of friends who we've met and all have also been entirely legal and returned home at the end of their visa.

Literally every single AU pair I've known except for one has overstayed their visa, become a nanny, then gotten married.

I don’t think people realize that they aren’t overstaying their visa. The few former au pairs know have then switched to student visas and then pursue degrees, so they are here legally and looking to get educated and make a better life for themselves. If you have a problem with that then maybe you’re not a nice person?

They can't get student visas, then marry. They can marry first, then become students though.
