Minnesota lacks caregivers. What could Trump’s policies mean for a workforce that relies on immigrants?
Story by Jessie Van Berkel, Star Tribune • 2h

Growing up in Ethiopia, Kulud Hassan Faisal would assist her grandparents with little tasks, grabbing them water or helping cook. She knew from a young age that she wanted to be a nurse.

“I want to help people,” said the 27-year-old St. Paul resident, who next month will take the test to become a certified nursing assistant and is interested in working with older adults.
 
She will join a direct support workforce that relies heavily on immigrants and refugees to serve Minnesotans who need assistance, including people with disabilities, the chronically ill and seniors. It’s a workforce that is already failing to meet a growing demand.

President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigrants and refugees has some members of the caregiving industry, and those who rely on it, on high alert. Direct support workers, who serve vulnerable individuals, generally need valid immigration paperwork to meet background check requirements, experts in the field said, but they added that’s not always the case for workers' family members, who could be swept up in mass deportations.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

How does a state's care giver problem become a federal problem?  Most likely, they already have too many people, probably caused by too many "migrants." :amen:

Ignoring everything but the caregiver angle, increase the visas for Pilipino's, there’s a nation with a severe lack of employment and many citizens who have been schooled/ trained as nurses and caregivers. We don’t need illegals to fill the need, and we certainly don’t need untrained people caring for our elderly and infirm. The same goes for anyone else trained as a nurse or CNA, apply legally and come fill the need.
