The unintended health consequence of Trump’s push for immigration reform
Restrictive changes to immigration policies may impact healthcare access for immigrants already residing in the US. A recent study published in BMC Health Services Research investigated this by conducting focus groups with health workers in Texas. This blog post, written by the authors of the study, explores the issue and what it means for immigrants' health.

Since taking office in 2017, the Trump administration has pursued restrictive immigration reform as a top priority. Building on campaign promises, President Trump has declared a national emergency to fund a wall on the US-Mexico border, tried to end the DACA program that allows undocumented children to remain in the US, and threatened to change public charge rules. Last month, President Trump doubled down by announcing an immigration reform proposal that would increase border security and limit visas given to relatives of US residents.
