‘They’re the backbone’: Trump’s targeting of legal immigrants threatens health sector
The Trump administration’s efforts to strip protections from more than half a million legal immigrants could devastate the health sector, endangering care for the elderly and worsening rates of both chronic and infectious diseases.
Hundreds of thousands of health care workers, including an estimated 30,000 legal immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, are at risk of being deported — worrying providers and patients who rely on them for everything from nursing and physical therapy to maintenance, janitorial, foodservice and housekeeping work.
Goodwin Living, a faith-based, not-for-profit elder care complex just across the Potomac River from D.C., is poised to lose 65 staff members following Supreme Court rulings on Friday and earlier in May that gave the Trump administration permission to terminate humanitarian parole and temporary protected status issued by prior presidents to migrants from several countries plagued by poverty and violence.
“I just can’t even imagine the impact it would have on those of us that are cared for on a daily basis if we were to suddenly lose them,” said Jill Miller, who has resided at Goodwin Living for eight years with her husband Carl. “They’re the backbone.”
Have they considered hiring Americans? Instead of people who have only been in the U.S. for a few years, and probably barely speak the language at all? Hey, maybe lots of people on welfare can be employed doing this stuff. Seriously, how did so many of these Biden imports, who would always be under threat to be repatriated, since TPS only lasts 18 months at a time, become so embedded within the health system? How did they all get legal status so quick and jobs?
These vulnerabilities underscore the precarity of the nation’s patchwork immigration system. Immigrants — both documented and undocumented — make up a disproportionate share of the health care workforce, particularly in areas like long-term care for the elderly and people with disabilities, and their expulsion would make existing shortages much worse.
Illegals shouldn’t have jobs. Period. Those on TPS or (fake) asylum seekers should understand that their time is limited.
“There are valid concerns, absolutely,” said Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. “But the solution we need is for Congress to determine what level of immigration we need, what skill level we need, what the conditions are, and then to pass laws. You can’t just completely bypass Congress with executive action on immigration and expect this fragile edifice that we set up to survive.”
What Democrats want is more voters, because they embed them in jobs, keep giving them TPS, give them asylum they do not deserve, then amnesty.
“The assertion that the only way we can take care of our seniors is by allowing unvetted illegal aliens and foreigners with criminal records to remain in the country is grossly false and lazy,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to POLITICO. “If people want to come to our country to be caregivers for our seniors, they need to do that by coming here the legal way.”
But, that wouldn’t create millions of new Democrat voters.
Trump is moving much too slowly on deporting all the illegal illegals and legal illegals. Conservatives estimate that up to 30 million residents are illegals!! Many, if not most, of the illegals (illegal and legal) are working as care-givers, custodians, roofers, fruit and vegetable pickers, hotel workers, gardeners, golf course and resort workers – all good jobs that real Americans should do!
And as our economy contracts and more and more work is handled by AI, robotics and computers, sales persons (auto, insurance, appliance, door to door), clerks, assistants, waitpersons, preachers and teachers, firefighters, cops will become increasingly obsolete!
Mr teach has a solution!
That’s right. Some 75 MILLION Americans collect disability, Social Security, Medicare, survivor benefits (spouse and children), SNAP! There are nearly 20 million able-bodied high school students and another 20 million college students (but according to trump, 30% are foreigners who need to go home). We have grade schools filled with healthy kids – over 30 MILLION!! Child labor laws (scam) are NOT supported by our Constitution!
So – deport all foreigners immediately. Cut all welfare to the bone so that Americans will either have to to work or starve. Picking strawberries doesn’t seem so bad when dying is the alternative! We WILL Make America Great Again!!!
The more they whine and bitch is a testament to the effectiveness of the Trump administration.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Losers!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
Elon Musk has fled the White House to try to save Tesla. He’s hoping the gubmint mandates Tesla’s as official vehicles. BTW, Stephen Miller’s wife, Katie Rose is also leaving her White House job to join Elon’s employ in Texas, LOL.
With Elon’s 2 TRILLION –> 1 TRILLION –> 100 BILLION –> ??? MILLION savings and mass firings and the MAGOPA cuts to USAID, Medicaid, welfare, Ag, NIH, NSF, CDC, FDA, Education, Social Security admin, GSA, NASA, EPA, stimulatory tax cuts, lucrative tariffs, energy independence, cuts to Ukraine, etc… why the fook is the national debt increasing for 10 years with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act???
Clearly trump and the GOPhers need to cut more!!
We actually do not see any hard numbers of people without proper documents already living in the USa wo have been deported
Teach said that there are 10s of thousands of hard core gang members illegally in the USA. Why hasn’t Trump reported them ?
Why haven’t the 1000s of migrants in Federal prisons been deported?
Why????
Because this is all just theater to entertain his ignorant base
Why? Because idiotic leftist judges think it’s their job and mission to interfere. (Hint: it’s not. A “district” is a subset of the whole. Imagining a District judge can issue injunctions covering the country is the only theater here.)
The only ignorant folk here are you and Elwood, although you DO make a cute couple.
Trust In Trump Stupid!! (TITS) Get your hats here.
The United States human being import/export ratio is out of whack!! Too many imports! The other countries are taking advantage of us.
The answer is staring us in the face! Tariffs (or bounties, whatever…)
If Venezuela wants to export thugs to us, they need to pay up. We will put negative tariffs on the great unwanted.
If they are legal immigrants, they have no problem. Politico is confused.
YOU are confused, hysterical young lady!! Please read the article Mr Teach linked to understand how Mr trump intends to revoke the legal status of these persons.
By all means make excuses to soothe your conscience. But Mr trump wants to please you kiddies by exporting ALL the immigrants! He wants to satisfy you xenophobes to maintain your slavish support.
Gawd you’re stupid.
I’m hurt! I’ll re-examine my entire life. Thanks.
