[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who thinks au pairs want to be treated more like nannies needs to meet more au pairs. [/quote]

Republicans are against the program (see current Trump ban) because they hate immigrants and dont want immigrants taking jobs from "Americans."  They also dont give a flip if women are forced out of the workforce, as they'd prefer all American women to be in the home full time caring for children. "

So you think that the solution to getting American women back into the workforce during Covid is to [b]exploit young women from impoverished countries[/b]? We are on a forum filled with some of the highest earners in the US. The assertion that they cannot pay minimum wage to their domestic workers is ludicrous!

This is literally NEVER true. Definitionally, the program does not pull from impoverished countries. Middle income at absolute poorest. My au pairs have come from Western Europe. At least one came from a family richer than us (owned a vineyard). [/quote]
