Local leaders in Wisconsin say federal immigration policy may be making the state's shortage of caregivers worse. Providers in sectors like long-term care have long relied on immigrant workers, and tighter visa rules and enforcement are making it harder to fill open positions. The concern is being raised by community and industry figures across the state as demand for care workers continues to outstrip supply.
