Be prepared, not scared for the “mass deportation force”

We recently were interviewed on ANC news in the Philippines.

The news anchor kept asking and asking about the impact on American healthcare if Filipino nurses are all deported.

We provided actual data, statistic, and experience to show that is an imaginary problem - in the first place, you can’t get a job at a legit hospital or medical facility without at least a work permit. Filipino Americans are generally law-abiding people. This is an imaginary problem.

However, Filipino-Americans do tend to have friends, family, and loved ones of diverse races and statuses. The reflected hardship faced by rideshare drivers, kitchen workers, retail workers, in-home childcare or eldercare healthcare providers - the people who grow, harvest, serve, cook, and deliver our food can be a reflected hardship.
