US companies to lose thousands of migrant workers within weeks

U.S. employers are bracing for the loss of hundreds of thousands of workers after the Trump administration signaled that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders from Haiti and six other nations will lose their legal authorization to work in a matter of weeks.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday temporarily extended work authorization for Haitians and other migrants covered by TPS just hours before permits were due to expire, averting an immediate employment cliff for tens of thousands of workers. The reprieve, however, is only temporary and comes as employers across industries continue dismissing workers whose legal status has lapsed or is expected to end.

The work permits of Haitians with TPS will now expire on July 24, while status holders from Ethiopia, Myanmar, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen will lose their work permits on July 17, according to notices from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The developments have sparked panic for businesses that rely heavily on immigrant labor, particularly in healthcare, hospitality, construction, manufacturing and food processing.

Yet, I can guarantee you practically the entire Republican Party will still vote Republican. They will not connect what’s happening in real life to their vote.

It’s why I say our society is broken.

Haitians and Somalis under TPS make up a staggering number of caregivers, medical assistants, and nurses.
The ripple down will be catastrophic to working families with kids or disabled family members.

But, I suppose that's what MAHA/MAGA and the Heritage Foundation wants.
Squeeze the undeserving peons until they're bleeding and sucked dry. They're just useless eaters, after all...
