    This is going to fuck up the healthcare industry (along with many others) and it’s going to hit alot of Americans hard. There’s millions of immigrant home health aides across the country that help care for mentally disabled and elderly Americans. Start taking away those aides and suddenly you’ve got Americans struggling to find anybody to watch their family members, causing them to have to choose between work and caring for a relative. It’s going to be a shitshow if they actually follow through with this.

    The only silver lining I can see is that it might actually open Americans’ eyes to how much they actually need immigrants after everything goes to shit, but I’m sure the ignorant will just go on to blame some other group for the resulting fallout.
