[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the South and this discussion is uncomfortably familiar; old Southern families, Daughters of the Confederacy,  still flew the flag and insisted that their ancestors' slaves were 'part of the family' and 'were treated so well.'  Regardless of the conditions. One day we will look back at this 'cultural exchange' disbelievingly, at how young foreign people, mostly female, were shamelessly exploited. Look at what you are doing, dcurbanmoms who are part of this, and stop now![/quote]

Yeah nice try but au pairs are part of the program on a voluntary basis. No one is capturing them by the hundred or thousands and transporting across the ocean in filthy inhumane conditions and then chaining and beating them.

Aren’t you at least a little bit ashamed of yourself for trying to draw a comparison between SLAVERY and a program young people apply to participate in? You’re disgusting. [/quote]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Kimberly Guilfoyle! Is the best yet to come?[/quote]

Mmm hmm whatever. So if it’s modern day slavery tell me why the leaders of the home countries of au pairs are so willing to sell their young citizens into slavery? Don’t you think at least one world leader would be brave enough to stand up and say “no, I shall send no more of my country’s young women into bondage”?

A voluntary program that one can leave at any time is not slavery. You SHOULD be ashamed of yourself for equating the two. Seriously, why don’t you survey a dozen or so American descendants of slaves and say “hey, don’t you think the au pair program is slavery? You volunteer for it, can leave any time, and your host family would be arrested for harming you in any way. They’re like totally equivalent, right?”[/quote]

It wasn’t me who said it. You do sound a bit like Kim though? If we can adopt MA ruling everywhere and go back to the original intent, the program could be excellent. As it is, Bernie called it a scam.[/quote]

Bernie calls a lot of things scams. Let’s stay focused on facts, not a blustering blowhard deadbeat dad who knows nothing about raising kids. [/quote]

Kim, it is you! Bernie was a test balloon. Just my daily MAGA sweep of DCUM. Congrats, you’ve been caught.[/quote]

You’re an idiot. God I hope you aren’t my associate. I’ll have to have a good paralegal double check the cites until I’m sure. [/quote]

I don’t think you’re a partner. TBH[/quote]
