I did a deeper dive on this, just to make certain it wasn't about skilled labor or H1B visa holders.
This is about people over here on Temporary Protected Status permits. They aren't even proper work visas. It's people who have been accepted for humanitarian reasons, because things in their own countries are so bad (due to natural disasters/war/famine/violence/etc) that we have decided that they should be allowed to come here, temporarily. And they're given permits to work while they're here. Think Haiti, Somalia, Ethiopia, Syria, etc.
From what I've been reading, there is a HUGE amount of them that seem to have jobs in healthcare, in roles like janitors, housekeepers in hospitals, but the bulk of them seem to work in places like senior living facilities, especially in housekeeping positions, nursing assistants, home health aides, etc.
Then there are the other usual suspects of working in places like construction, agriculture, hotels, restaurants, warehouses, transportation, etc that we're accustomed to people on unskilled work visas doing.
The biggest alarms being raised over this seems to be what's going to happen if so many jobs in the healthcare industry are suddenly vacated, because they're already badly understaffed, and the elderly depend on them so heavily in senior care facilities, home health aides, etc.
It looks like that might be the major reason the DHS issued last minute work permit extensions to so many of the people on TPS, right before they were going to be booted. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were given a last minute extension, and they make up a disproportionate number of workers in the healthcare fields.
Yes, my misunderstanding—TPS permit holders need to head back. All those foreign-citizen, scamming, fraudulent, hateful countries you mentioned should NOT be allowed to send their trash here to the United States.
The medical healthcare worker situation you mentioned hits home for us…send ‘em back to where they came from, to their rightful country of citizenship. They are certainly not welcome here.
Thanks for the additional information.
No problem.
But like I pointed out, the DHS have extended their permits for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of them.
There doesn't seem to be any sort of plans that will have the industries losing these workers to fill these vacancies with US workers, without significantly increasing the costs of those services.
It's absolutely clear now that US workers will not take these jobs at the same pay that foreigners are doing them. Which is why we're cranking out more and more H2-B/ H2-A (unskilled labor) visas even as we boot out illegals from those same jobs.
And since the main way workers become illegal is because they just don't leave when their visas expire, it's nothing more than a revolving door of future illegals.
The entire system is messed up. Either we keep doing this revolving door nonsense, or make laws that FORCE businesses to hire US workers (at much higher pay, which will be passed on to the people using those services, making them much more expensive) or we live with huge labor shortages that have real world implications like our elderly population receiving much lower quality care, or even no care at all.
I don't know what we can do to fix this, instead of just doing all this political theater of booting out workers who overstayed their visas to bring in a new crop of workers that will more often than not over stay their visas, so we can spend hundreds of millions of dollars to boot them out, and millions more dollars bringing in new ones, and just a never ending cycle.of that.
"...political theater..." Exactly.
They are hurting us 💯 in every way possible and what are we getting? More crime higher cost of living and no homes like me. It is way too expensive plus my car is going to give me a hard time one of these days and I will pay thousands for repairs I travel to schools as a substitute teacher, I depend on my car. They need to leave, millions of people like us are asking President Trump to get the millions of illegals back to their countries or we are going to be doomed, this is not going to benefit anybody at the end because the top of pyramid monsters greed.
