As someone whose parents were in assisted living at the end of their lives, I can confirm that at least 90% of staff are immigrants. Resident needs are intense, and it seems like there are never enough helping hands. Staff shortages will most certainly increase suffering and shorten lives.
Nursing homes already struggling to recruit staff are now grappling with President Donald Trump’s attack on one of their few reliable sources of workers: immigration.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you.

Not all resistance wears a bullhorn.
Some write letters.
Some carry water.
Some raise their voices.
Some raise the spirits.
Some paint banners, others hold them.
Every role matters.
This is a chorus, not a solo.
Show up how you can.
We need you all.
