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.

It is not only impacting the "home care industry", but the entire health care industry, especially hospitals.  There have been reports of health care professionals working in US hospitals being arrested and deported.

What total nonsense, the only people in fear of deportation are people there illegally. You purposely omitt 'illegal' from your comments.

Not that that will stop Trump, and Honan's goons squad, rounding them up and shopping them off to their El Salvadoran gulags!

It will take a few admirations to get rid of all the illegal immigrants Biden / Harris allowed into the USA ...  Biden had 2 more years, to allow more in, as that report is from, FEBRUARY 1, 2023.

 

... "Four point five million, that is the number of illegal aliens encountered by CBP officials just in the time since President Biden took office; 1.7 million, the number of illegal migrants that Joe Biden released into American communities; 2,378,944, the number of illegal migrants encountered by CBP on the Southwest border in 2022--the highest number ever recorded in a single year in our Nation's history; 251,487, the number of illegal migrants encountered by CBP on the Southwest border in the month of December of last year--the highest monthly number ever recorded; 8,100, the average number of illegal migrants encountered per day on the Southwest border in the month of December, 2022; 717,660, the number of illegal migrant encounters on the Southwest border in just the first three months of this fiscal year; 1.1 million, the number of known got-aways who have successfully crossed the Southwest border since President Biden took office; 856, the number of migrants who died attempting to cross the Southwest border during the past fiscal year--again, the highest number on record; 98, the number of aliens on the Terrorist Watch List encountered on our Southwest border during Fiscal Year 2022--yet another record set by the Biden Administration." ...

They're deliberately confusing vetted legal immigrants with those who have come legally and found employment in the health care field. 

 

Personally, I don't want an unvetted illegal caring for my loved ones. 

 

I'd love to see them invite more and make the process easier for those with skills we need.  But not the ones that are going to end up costing (According to Mayor Adams) $36,000 a year per head.
