An executive order was released last week that undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens, including their children, may remain in the U.S. while applying for permanent residence. Prior to this change, undocumented spouses were required to return to their home country to complete the application. HCAOA supports immigration reform to address the workforce shortage in the home care industry. This new policy could allow this demographic to enter the workforce at an expedited pace, providing an additional source for new employees.
