Muslms: My wife and I just moved her mother into a new memory care
unit. The assisted living place where she previously lived no longer could cope with her increasing problems. We're in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. At her old place and at this new one, almost all of the paid care-givers are Muslims, primarily from East Africa. They're immigrants and many of them were refugees when they came here. Another group of excellent care-givers are Hmong immigrants.
It's a popular profession for these new Americans. Local community colleges have programs designed specifically to turn immigrants into healthcare workers. The pay is shitty, frankly, but it's a path. Some have gone on to get credentialed as LVNs and even RNs, after starting off in the lower paid jobs providing care.
Here's what's happening. These workers are caring, smart, and patient in dealing with difficult patients. Almost always. That's not as often true of typical native-born Americans, who tend to be impatient and quick to snark at older people with memory deficits and other problems. My wife and I have seen it time and again. So has her mother. She always prefers the women wearing head scarfs and the black men who speak with an accent to care for her. They're more compassionate than the others.
These are the very people Donald Trump wants to go away. These are the very people his followers harass in public places. I say, Screw that! I want people who are kind, patient and resourceful to be the ones caring for my mother-in-law. She's got a lot of problems and isn't getting better. She never will. She needs compassionate care, and that's what her immigrant care-givers are providing. Those are the people she hopes will come in when she needs the many care services she receives each day.
Donald Trump and his bigoted followers can kiss my ass. I'll stand with those people who do thankless jobs cheerfully and kindly. My wife and I thank them often for their service.
Thanks to all of those care-givers with accents and atypical dress. We appreciate what you're doing.
Cool story George.

A whole lot of racism there. :rofl:

Anyone know what is wrong with Steve?

As a volunteer firefighter and volunteer EMT, I had to be subject to a state police and FBI background check. My daughter is doing an internship in a hospital this year and she had a background check performed.
Anyone working in the healthcare industry with patient care has to have a background check. An illegal would not have such a check performed or it they tried would not go well.

I think he's dying or something. He seems to post about that often.
We all are, actually. Some slower or faster than others.

I keep up pretty good on current news but have yet to see one story about the supposed evil Trumpsters actually doing anything to muzzies, blacks, hispanics, homos... EXCEPT for the FAKE ones. The HOAXES I've see a few stories.
So all of it is lies.
Now I have seen lots of blacks in packs attack older white people for supposedly voting Trump, or having a MAGA hat, or for just being white. Lots of those stories with video shot by the ferals doing the hate crime assault and battery.

Why didn't THEY...?
Wrong question. Why didn't WE? Politics is about US, not THEM.
We are responsible, individually, for elections in our own states, districts and precincts. If we wait for THEM to fix things, get out the vote and make sure our states don't suppress the vote, it will never happen.
You think your fellow loons want to be responsible for anything resembling work? :rofl: :rofl:

Hey MM! Ever heard of an I-9? It's a document people have to do in order to start working somewhere. Specifically, the new-hire has to show documents that prove it is legal for them to work in the US. It applies to citizens and non-citizens. IOW, those East African and Hmong immigrants are LEGAL immigrants. And contrary to MSM slander, legal immigrants have nothing to fear from Trump.
