Even "Fox & Friends" host Ainsley Earhardt questions Trump's immigration ban: What about my au pair?

“I go to work at three o’clock in the morning, so I need her . . . in my house," Earhart says of her au pair

fox & Friends" expressed rare criticism of Donald Trump after the president suddenly announced a temporarily immigration ban amid the coronavirus pandemic. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt was worried about what might happen to foreign workers, specifically her au pair.

"Many families here, including mine — we have au pairs, and we rely on them," she said. "I go to work at three o'clock in the morning, so I need her there. And I need her in my house so that she can help me with my daughter."

"Many families rely on child care from other countries," Earhardt continued. "These au pairs come here on work visas. They have to go back to their country to get the visas renewed, and we've been talking in my house about how that's going to happen."

That's when co-host Brian Kilmeade revealed the existence of an apparent broader au pair contingent at Fox News.

"Yeah, I just want to say — I know a lot of people who have au pairs that come here legally," he said. "Someone we all know has been waiting on one for a matter of months now . . ."
Details of Trump's plan remained unclear when his favorite morning show took up the issue Tuesday morning, including when it would go into effect, who would be affected and how long the "temporary" ban would last.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany released a statement indicating that the order would address concerns about employment and income for U.S workers.

"As President Trump has said, 'Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers,'" she said. "At a time when Americans are looking to get back to work, action is necessary."

But Earhardt wanted answers, and she appeared to make a direct appeal to the president for them.
"These are questions that we have that  hopefully the president will roll out a plan, and we'll all be informed on how this is going to affect all of our lives," she said, again referencing the au pair situation.
