Axios is here to pull on your heartstrings, like any objective fact checker would.
Check out this headline:
Oh no! Sad!
Wait ... why are immigrants losing their jobs?
Foreign-born workers make up 30% of the nursing home housekeeping and maintenance workforce, according to data provided by LeadingAge, an association of nonprofit providers of aging services. That's compared to 19% of the overall workforce, per the Labor Department.
More than 41% of home health aides in the U.S. last year were foreign-born, according to unpublished data provided to Axios by the Labor Department.
22% of nursing assistants are foreign-born, and 28% of personal care aides.
It's now illegal to hire immigrants? Is that what Trump has done?
No?
Oh, then what kind of "immigrants" are losing their jobs?
Huh.
I'm sure Axios will tell us about how Americans can't possibly work those jobs.
Just like in the meat-packing industry 👇
Double Huh.
Is Axios arguing that granny is going to languish in some long-term care facility because an illegal alien is no longer on staff?
A beloved caregiver for an autistic young man in Virginia, for example, is facing deportation over a minor crime committed years ago, the New York Times recently reported — and his patient is struggling to adapt to life without him.
Oh, I forgot that we just forgive people who trespassed into the country if they committed other "minor" crimes on top of their trespassing!
Last Friday, Rachel Blumberg, the CEO of Toby and Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences, a senior living community in Boca Raton, Fla., learned that 10 of her employees were being deported after the White House pulled permission for them to live and work in the U.S.
The employees were apparently Haitian (Axios says "30 more Haitian employees" may be fired).
You may recall that Joe Biden imported a ton of Haitians and stuffed them into small towns across the U.S. to replace American workers.
She estimates she'll have to spend another $600,000 per year in higher wages to attract more workers — costs that will be passed on to residents.
Wait, wait, wait.
Are you telling me you're not paying your Haitian servants a fair wage?? Why would you be offering slave wages to foreign workers to care for senior citizens??
Is this supposed to make us feel sad, Axios?
