Trump wants to roll back decades of progress by gutting Medicaid, the single largest source of long-term care funding. That means less care for older adults and people with disabilities, and more impossible choices for caregivers. #CareIsEssential

Immigrant caregivers are the backbone of our long-term care system. Trump’s attacks on TPS threaten to rip them from the patients who rely on them—and deepen a staffing crisis that’s already at a breaking point.

How Trump's immigration policies are affecting caregivers and nursing homes
More than one million immigrants work in healthcare and make up an increasing share of caregivers for elderly and disabled Americans. That includes not only medical professionals, but also workers who keep facilities running. The industry already faces labor shortages, and the Trump administration’s immigration policies could make it more difficult to find workers. William Brangham reports.

Listen to @SEIUPres! 📢So many immigrant caregivers are too afraid to go to work because of ICE raids. If this trend continues, we’ll be facing a public health crisis.
