The immigration crackdown in the United States threatens Haitian caregivers and the seniors who rely on them. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Anna Fischbein of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, lost her beloved Haitian home health care worker whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) expired this week. Fischbein's walker bears a "Fall Risk" alert bracelet, and she spoke about her loss during an interview in her apartment.
Miriam Singer, CEO of Jewish Community Services of South Florida in Miami Beach, spoke of the home health workers she had to let go after their TPS expired Wednesday, July 29.
A rally in support of immigrants with TPS was held in San Diego on July 9, with participants holding Haitian flags and signs.
This situation stems from stricter US immigration policies that limit Haitian caregivers' ability to stay legally in the country. As a result, many elderly individuals risk being left without daily care.
