Every action has its consequences, and the stupidest leaders either don't think about them in advance, or just don't care:

President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration is deepening a crisis in America's caregiving system, straining the already limited workforce that supports the country's rapidly aging population, experts have warned.

 

Trump pledged to remove millions of undocumented migrants as part of his aggressive immigration agenda. Yet immigrants are integral to the U.S. care workforce, accounting for 28 percent of workers in nursing homes and 32 percent in home care, according to nonpartisan organization KFF (formerly Kaiser Family Foundation).

 

"The crisis in the home care industry is here, whether the elected officials choose to acknowledge it or not. It's no secret that we have a shortage of workers in the care industry and that immigrants play a critical role in filling that gap," Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Secretary-Treasurer Rocío Sáenz told Newsweek.

Comprehensive immigration reform.

Yes care workers make very low pay and there is always a large shortage of them.

It's beyond idiocy to deport law abiding ones.

Give them a path towards legal status.

So simple. So impossible for republicans.

Article mixes immigrants and illegal immigrants.  Not same same.  Most health care workers are here legally.
