Families across America are struggling with rising childcare and eldercare costs, while employers face a growing shortage of qualified caregivers. That's why Rep. Gabe Vasquez has introduced the Careworker Visa Act, a commonsense solution that creates a legal pathway for qualified childcare providers, eldercare workers, and in-home caregivers to help meet critical workforce needs.

With an estimated 4.6 million caregiving jobs expected to go unfilled by 2032, this legislation aims to strengthen care services, lower costs for families, support New Mexico's universal childcare program, and provide hardworking caregivers with an opportunity to contribute legally and safely to our communities. By investing in careworkers, we're investing in stronger families, a stronger economy, and a better future for everyone.
