With a significant portion of caregivers being foreign-born, crackdowns on work authorizations and deportations raise concerns about staffing shortages. The aging U.S. population amplifies demand for home health aides, but immigration restrictions threaten supply, as these jobs are physically demanding and low-paid, leading to high turnover. Industry experts worry about the long-term sustainability of care services.
