It was 2025. February, and Camila * pointed to the home in northern Texas to meet a new family for which he would mean.
The 22-year-old college student has no legal documentation, but it has never been a problem. In their experience, many families like to pay their children’s children in cash. However, this new family was an interesting challenge. The interior of the house was filled with more Trump paraphernalia. “Trump everything, everywhere,” Camila says. Father turned out for Fox News.
“It was very ironic,” Camila Al Jazeera said. “To say,” Hey, this is my legal situation, “she could go one of two ways. Maybe they wouldn’t be interested or could tell me I could go out.” Who knows what happened then. ”
In the end, she decided not to tell them and just focused on their job care for her children. The uncomfortable encounter and “cold” gave Camil’s evoke greater problems.
In the United States, immigrant work, including undocumented workers, raised children, home care and an older care industry. However, in the middle of the immigrant policy and keeping the president of the US President Donald Trump, including the threat of “mass deportations”, and the sick industry faces new threats that experts say experts in millions of Americans.
“People do not show up for work because they are worried about the raids that happen in their workplace,” Lori Saucek said, the executive director of the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-term Nursing.
And children, she added, “are really worried about their parents and will they return home at the end of the day.”
‘Attacked from every angle’
Economists documented the excessive effects by mass deportations, and organizations such as the US Immigration Council of Biloni Dollari immigrants contribute to the US in tax and consumption.
But some industries are unique vulnerable for shifts in immigration policy.
For example, about one in five American children’s workers are immigrants, and some studies show that almost 30 percent of direct care workers are immigrants. As more experts stressed in Al Jazeera, these roles have a far-reaching effect on the community throughout the country.
“The effects based on some of the policies we see that we have asked us in our place,” SMEPAN said. Policies, it continued, “affects immigrant’s ability to do not only come to this country, but receive their citizenship, to feel safe in their stay and work in this country.”
Early in their second term, Trump abolished “Sensitive areas” guidelines that prevented the immigration raids in schools, churches and job sites. The government also denies or delay visa H-1B, which continues a decade long trend of reducing access to the program that helps immigrants to find a job.
“We wish people, by the way to our country, but we want them to enter through the legal process,” said President Trump in the announcement of Tariffs 2. April. “We need people to drive these plants and help auto workers and team players and non-union people and everyone else, but we need people.”
Despite this rhetoric, the presidential administration has limited legal paths by freezing an American refuge program. At that time, the November 15 proposed a new path to which “great people” could be eligible for re-entering the USA and achieve the constant status of citizenship if they first leave the country, and then receive employer sponsorship.
The president also suggested creating a visa “Gold Card” that would cost the applicants $ 5 million.
Colleen Putzel-Kavanaugh, Policy Analyst for the Migration Policy Institute, said the basic goal of politics “, seems to be a wealth in the USA.
In order to assess whether the legal roads for immigrants become stronger, it could not only be viewed, but also “who would reach these visas, if the strengthening of legal tract reduces irregular migration or the timing of visas”.
In other words, acknowledging more immigrants through the “legal process” of Trump from his speech in his April would involve facilitating visas, something he did not do in his first mandate, where the so-called legal migration is reduced.
Further, Confiscation of temporary protected status There are school administrators, nursing leaders leaders and daily operators are wondering who can be rented and how they can protect them.
Wendy Cervantes says these changes are made so that the families of immigrants are “attacked from every corner.”
Cervantes is the director of the immigration and immigration family at the Center for Law and Social Policy, and its team recently held the webinar to provide technical assistance for children’s providers in the United States. She said that more than 1,000 people appeared, launched “stress and fear” created access to a new administration to immigration.
“People don’t care about parents only; they were worried about the staff,” Al Jazeera said.
As a result, administrators in fields like children learn the orders: which type of documentation is needed, and which information about the immigration officer should ensure that the premises should provide legal.
“This knowledge at least gives them a certain measure of the Agency,” she said. “But it’s a really scary place to be.”
‘I want to stay’
One of the goals of cervantes is similar to that economist that accompanies the effect of deportation: she wants people to understand how much their life is designed to immigrants.
This is especially true of anyone whose family has a specific connection with children, home care or sectors of older care. Approximately 20 percent of all American seniors live in rural communities, in the last five years, 40 new counties have become the nursing house desert: areas in which its hybrids are needed to drive long distances for long care.
According to SMEX, when the nursing home is closed, it leaves a hole to escort in the community. Dozens lose jobs, and patients – who probably had several options to start – remain abolition to find a new home. It is difficult to quantify the economic and psychological effect, this has this on the family or community, just like for cervantes, it is difficult to quantify damage to the child’s psyche when they are afraid to be deposited.
Despite all this, SMEPAN says it is important to remember how many immigrants want to stay in the US and continue working in places like nursing homes. On average for direct care workers, it increased by less than $ 3 between 2014. by 2023. years, but health fields remain widely popular among immigrants.
Sarah Valdez, an immigration lawyer based in Austin, Texas, excreted, “you (you will not be able to) replace 10 people you deported with 10 workers who have deported.”
Camila, Nanny from North Texas, is one of those people who are willing to work long hours, without appeal and for a little salary. Nanny may not be her long-term career, but she chose a field because she was supposed to pay for her school, and she likes to work with children.
In many cases he feels like he spends as many time with his clients as their parents. Her typical day involves getting up at 6am and works until around 22:00, while finding time for classes and studies in their free time that can manage. She helped multiple children deal with a divorce and sudden death in the family, among many other life situations.
“Everything happens in the world, I don’t know what it is for me,” she said. “I just take from day to day, Sunday a week. But I know I want to stay. I’m glad I’m here now.”
* The name of Camila was changed to protect her identity.
