‘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.
