More than a million immigrants work in health care in the U.S., and they make up an increasing

share of caregivers for elderly and disabled Americans.

That includes medical professionals, but also the housekeepers and the janitors that keep

nursing homes running.

These facilities already face labor shortages, and now, as William Brangham reports, the Trump administration's

immigration policies could make it even more difficult to find workers.

The place that has been Edelene Jean's home for 18 years suddenly doesn't feel that way

anymore.

Taking for a better life. She fled her native Haiti and settled in Florida.

After the devastating 2010 earthquake, the Obama administration granted her and thousands

of other Haitians temporary protected status, or TPS, which allowed them to remain in the

United States and work legally but didn't provide

a path to permanent residency.

As TPS for Haitians was repeatedly extended, Edelene got married, bought this house.

She also had a daughter, who is six and is an American citizen.

She enrolled in school, working first as a nursing assistant,

and then as a registered nurse in nursing homes.

I love what I'm doing,

and I do it with pride and the compassion.

Like I feel for these people,

like some of them, they have no family members.

We are the family. We are family.
