JAMA Network

About The Study: More than 1 million noncitizen immigrants (one-third of them undocumented) work in health care in the U.S. Their ranks include skilled personnel who would be difficult to replace, especially if legal immigration is further restricted. Many health care workers may be removed if President Trump implements plans to deport undocumented immigrants and those losing temporary protected status (e.g., from Haiti and Venezuela).
