Federal immigration policy changes may be worsening Wisconsin's shortage of caregivers, according to reporting by PBS Wisconsin. The report suggests that shifts in immigration rules and enforcement could be reducing the pool of immigrant workers, on whom the state's caregiving sector heavily relies. The shortfall threatens care for elderly and disabled residents across Wisconsin.
