Increased immigration into the US led to more nursing home workers and better outcomes for nursing home residents, from David Grabowski Jonathan Gruber, and Brian McGarry nber.org/papers/w30960
The Senate’s proposal would cause irreparable harm and gut protections for people fleeing danger. Our asylum system must be rebuilt, not dismantled. The fundamental right to seek safety must be protected.
