Topic: Medical Treatment associated with 75,000 detainees across 33 states.

An Albanian man’s pain grew so unbearable, he pulled out his own tooth as he languished for months in a New Mexico immigration detention center. A Honduran mother of two who was hospitalized for a heart problem was denied blood pressure medications while held in Florida. A Venezuelan man’s leg grew purple and swollen from flesh-eating bacteria when staffers at a Vermont facility would not bring him to a scheduled doctor’s appointment.

Hundreds of detainees across at least 33 states allege in federal lawsuits that immigration detention facilities are failing to provide adequate medical care, an investigation by KFF Health News and The Associated Press found. Detainees say they didn’t get medications on time — or at all — for conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, epilepsy, Parkinson’s and HIV. Requests for help went unanswered for weeks. Blood sugars rose. Infections festered. Cancers remained untreated. Detainees collapsed and had seizures.

U.S. jails and immigration detention centers have long struggled to meet the medical needs of the people in their charge. But the system is sagging under an influx of detentions since President Donald Trump returned to office: More than 75,000 immigrants are being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as of mid-January, up from around 40,000 a year earlier.

while some attempt to redistrict these people so they can assign their votes to a better electoral outcome for themselves. here is but one example of the way they have been treated in the past. and i’m not picking on anyone, i’m just shedding some light on what some politicians are attempting to do.

Many has hoped that the deportation of immigrants would create jobs for American workers. It’s seems that backfired. Here is the result:

While policies aimed at removing undocumented immigrants are promoted as a way to free up jobs and raise wages for Americans, studies show the opposite is happening. Data from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and labor economists indicate that U.S.-born workers are not stepping in to fill these vacancies, leading to a broader economic slowdown.The policy is creating unintended economic damage due to several key factors:1. The "Complementary Worker" EffectThe labor market does not operate as a simple one-for-one exchange. Immigrant and U.S.-born workers frequently hold complementary roles rather than competing for the exact same jobs.The Chain Reaction: If a construction company loses its immigrant laborers or roofers, the business cannot complete its projects. As a result, the company downsizes, which eliminates the jobs of U.S.-born employees like electricians, plumbers, managers, and architects.Ratio of Loss: Research led by economists at CU Boulder highlights a harsh ripple effect: for every six undocumented workers removed from a local labor market, one U.S.-born worker also loses their job.2. Americans are Not Filling the VacanciesProponents of deportations argue that a labor shortage will force companies to dramatically raise wages to attract American workers. However, the data shows this mechanism is failing:Wage Misalignment: In physically demanding fields like agriculture and construction, entry-level wages remain lower than what is required to attract native-born workers. Workers can often find comparable pay in less grueling service-sector jobs (like retail or fast food).Business Downsizing: Rather than raising wages to unsustainable levels—which would force companies to drastically increase the prices of homes, goods, and food—many businesses are simply choosing to scale back operations, cancel expansion plans, or take on fewer contracts.

If you know me, you know I’m getting oder. And as you get older things change; things drift away. So I have adopted and modified the Serenity Prayer for myself. I’m not asking “God” for anything I am shifting it to my own agency and commitment. If you are where I am , you may enjoy this:

____________________________________________
I will accept the things I cannot change, and have the courage to change the things I can, with the wisdom to know the difference.

I will strive to live each day and each moment with intention; opening my heart to joy, my mind resilient against challenges, and to be fully present in the beauty of the now.
____________________________________________

I find myself failing at this occasionally but it is my goal and my “prayer”.

I M NOT TAKING SIDES - BUT - THIS IS NOT RIGHT!
