Washington, D.C. –“This ruling isn’t just a blow to the rights and safety of these legal immigrants—it’s also a direct attack on South Florida’s economy. This reckless measure threatens our economy by failing to allocate funds for training Americans for these jobs.
“House Republicans have obstructed essential job skills training, leaving critical industries—healthcare, construction, and hospitality—severely understaffed and vulnerable.
“Taking away their legal status and work permits will not only devastate families—it will weaken our local economy and disrupt essential services.”
