Trump protected situation of immigrants will strive for US health care, warns Democrats | United States migration
The United States healthcare system faces a “perfect storm”, warning more than 100 members of Congress today, as the Donald Trump administration risks the exacerbation of pressure on its operating power by stripping nearly a million American immigrants of work and legal protection license.
The temporary protected situation (TPS) granted about 570,000 US workers from deportation, as their countries of origin are dangerous, due to factors such as war and natural disasters.
During the Trump era, the federal government sought to cancel this situation for eight countries – Afghanistan, Cameroon, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Syria and Venezuela – raising concerns about the influence on the main sectors of the American workforce.
In a letter sent today to Trump’s senior officials, seen by the Guardian, a group of Democratic legislators led by veteran Senator Elizabeth Warren warns that the American health care system “cannot bear another blow” after broader discounts since Trump returned to his post. “The most vulnerable Americans who need health care will pay the price,” they warn.
Signatures on the letter – sent to Christie Naweeem, the US Secretary of Homeland Security; Robert F Kennedy Junior, Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services; Lori Chavez-Tremer, Minister of Labor-Bennin, Senator Chris Van Holin, Ed Marqui, Corrie Booker, Tami Dakrith, Andxinn Gilbrand, as well as Alexandria Okasio Cortez, Priadla Japal, and Jasmine Crocate.
Bernie Sanders, the independent Senator of Vermont, who gathered with the Democrats, also signed the message.
Immigrants indicate between 32 to 40 % of workers in home care places in the United States, participate in the message, 24 % in residential care, and 21 % in nursing facilities. About 15 % of non -citizen health care workers stem from nations in light of the temporary protected situation.
The lawmakers wrote: “The end of TPS, along with the huge discounts to Medicaid from the Law of the Bill of President Trump Grand (OBBA), will be gathered to create an ideal storm of health care for Americans.” “While finishing TPS will remove thousands of workers in the field of health care from the workforce, OBBA will lead to deep discounts to medicaid, closing work and nursing hospitals, and leads to the workforce of the workforce.”
Abolition It can be produced In tens of thousands of immigrants who return to lack of documents, and put them in the risk of detention and removal by customs enforcement and immigration (ICE). They also raise questions about the administration’s claims that they focus only and target “criminals” and “worst” in the deportation efforts.
“The cancellation of TPS calls for the claim that they are chasing criminals on his face, because everyone who has TPS has undergone strict and continuous background checks,” said Chris Newman, the legal director and general advisor of the National Day Organization (NDLON). “This is why he is laughing at his face, to the extent that the Trump administration It equals Tps with gang activity, because these are all people who underwent back checks. It challenges reality to make this claim.
“It is clear that the Trump administration uses criminality as a justification to target and punish innocents.”
Newman also represents the Kilmar ábrego García family, and is the father of three in the state of Maryland, which was incorrectly deported to El Salvador in March. A federal court later ordered his return to the United States. The administration has continued In court to try to deport again. He is running detained At the immigration detention center in Pennsylvania.
In their message, legislators warn that the cancellation of TPS will lead to significant losses in employees that health care facilities throughout the United States will fight to replace them, as the industry is struggling to meet the increasing demand for health care workers and home nursing.
The letter added: “The Americans will pay the price if the health care workforce crisis increases by the end of TPS for President Trump.” As research appears about the employees of the Nursing House, the number of nurses means more pharmaceutical errors, more falls, more late diagnoses, and increase patient deaths.
“Less number of nursing and home health professionals have a wavy effect through the health care system, which contributes to the drainage of the accumulation of many other care spaces-from after the sharp rehabilitation operations to hospitals.”
