    Restricted visa categories such as this enable exploitation. Au pairs should, at a minimum, be able to switch employers once they’re in the US. They should also be covered by the same employment protections as any other full-time employee. If that’s not viable, then shit-can the program. It’s welfare for the upper middle class, and we have much more pressing needs to attend to than lawyers and dentists saving money on childcare.
