Those already seated in aisle or middle seats have to get up and move back into the aisle to let passengers behind them take the seats closer to the window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the most routine boarding process -- from back to front -- is actually the slowest of them all, Steffen's argues, It's even less efficient than boarding a plane in a completely random order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steffen claims that his proposed method, which minimizes the former issue and eliminates the latter, could significantly reduce boarding times, thus cutting down on overall door-to-door flight lengths, and ultimately saving airlines hundreds of millions of dollars a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news site \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2014/4/25/5647696/the-way-we-board-airplanes-makes-absolutely-no-sense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vox \u003c/a>recently explored this question and created the above video analyzing various standard boarding methods. The videos below show individual simulations of these different boarding processes, listed from worst (slowest) to best (fastest).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think you have a better idea?

The best current option: Southwest's self-selection method\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>No video simulation for this one, but the basic gist is that Southwest doesn't assign seats. Instead, passengers get on the plane in the order they check in and can sit in which ever seats are available. This method has proven to be the most efficient one currently used because passengers have more freedom to sit where they want and spend less time waiting in the aisle.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>1. And finally, the winner (in theory, at least): The Steffen method\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Steffen's method is closest to the the outside-in method, with one major difference: rather than having all window seat passengers board first, it creates a choreographed boarding sequence that eliminates any waiting in the aisle by having passengers board in a staggered format.

They marched peacefully towards the Lincoln Memorial, where they listened to the impassioned speeches of some of most outspoken civil rights leaders of the day. Most famously, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his seminal \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\"I Have a Dream\"\u003c/a> address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King and other leaders of the march articulated a clear, carefully crafted set of demands, underscoring, as King stated, \"the fierce urgency of now.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2013/08/MarchDemands.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-9119 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2013/08/MarchDemands-300x365.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>The mandates included the passage of new binding pieces of civil rights legislation that, among other things, guaranteed voting rights, increased political representation in Congress, eliminated school segregation and imposed heavy financial and legal penalties against agencies that violated the Equal Protection Clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But equally important, although often overshadowed, was the demand for greater economic equality. The movement's leaders called for a federal jobs program and a nearly two-fold increase in the national minimum wage, to $2 an hour (equivalent to about $13 today).

They marched peacefully towards the Lincoln Memorial, where they listened to the impassioned speeches of some of most outspoken civil rights leaders of the day.

The movement's leaders called for a federal jobs program and a nearly two-fold increase in the national minimum wage, to $2 an hour (equivalent to about $13 today).

Making clothes in Bangladesh costs less than just about anywhere else in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take a quick look at the tags on your clothing. There's a good chance at least some of them were made in Bangladesh. Since the 1990s, Bangladesh’s ready-made garment industry has exploded, and now generates close to $20 billion a year in exports. It's now one of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2015/10/21/international-regional-trade-is-key-to-faster-growth-for-bangladesh-says-new-world-bank-report\" target=\"_blank\">largest apparel exporters in the world\u003c/a>, second only to China (which still far outpaces any other nation in exports, but has lost a good deal of contracts to Bangladesh, where production costs are even cheaper). Bangladesh is currently the \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/where-the-u-s-gets-its-clothing-one-year-after-the-bangladesh-factory-collapse/\" target=\"_blank\">third-largest apparel importer\u003c/a> to the United States, after China and Vietnam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, employment in the U.S. apparel manufacturing industry has declined by more than 80 percent in the last two decades, from about 900,000 to 150,000 jobs, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/spotlight/2012/fashion/\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Labor Statistics\u003c/a>. As recently as 1980, 70 percent of clothes sold in the United States were made domestically.

But go into an H&M store today and then go back again a week or two later, and you’ll likely find a completely changed inventory. This is the concept behind fast fashion, pioneered over the last 15 years by European brands like H&M and Zana, and to a lesser extent, The Gap, Benetton, Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. The idea is to capture the latest design trends and whisk them from the catwalk to the store, producing trendy but generally low-quality garments in the fastest, most cost-effective way possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/03/11/174013774/in-trendy-world-of-fast-fashion-styles-arent-made-to-last\">NPR\u003c/a>, Elizabeth Cline, author of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.overdressedthebook.com/\">Overdressed: The Shockingly High Price of Fast Fashion\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, explained that stores like H&M produce hundreds of millions of garments per year. \"They put a small markup on the clothes and earn their profit out of selling an ocean of clothing,\" she says. H&M has about 2,800 stores in 48 markets and it's growing fast, especially in China and the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/170511842\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with companies making billions and consumers getting great deals, the cost has to be absorbed somewhere.

It’s easy to blame the big clothing companies, many of whom reap enormous profits, fully aware of the decrepit conditions where their products are made. After the huge factory fire last November, a number of major clothing brands and retailers rejected a union-sponsored proposal to improve safety throughout Bangladesh's garment industry, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/id/100679902\">Associated Press reported\u003c/a>. Instead, companies expanded a patchwork system of private audits and training, which labor groups allege do little and lack any real enforcement mechanism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The textile factories are almost all locally owned and managed, allowing Western retailers to maintain a distance from them and turn a blind eye to factory-floor conditions. And blame, of course, can also be directed at the factory owners and Bangladeshi government officials who knowingly exploit and endanger the workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2015/03/18/making-your-t-shirt-a-journey-around-the-world/\" target=\"_blank\">RELATED: Where Was Your T-Shirt Made?\u003c/a>]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Rana Plaza disaster, a growing number of major designers, including H&M, Zana and Benetton, signed on to a legally binding agreement to pay for major safety improvements. And since then,\u003ca href=\"http://in%20the%20Bangladeshi%20factories%20where%20their%20clothing%20is%20made,\" target=\"_blank\"> fire and safety assessments\u003c/a> have been conducted in several thousand Bangladeshi factories where their clothing is made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But only a \u003ca href=\"http://bangladeshaccord.org/signatories/\" target=\"_blank\">small group of American companies\u003c/a> signed on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Gap, Wal-Mart, Sears and Target are among the major American clothing retailers that balked at joining the accord, despite relying heavily on Bangladeshi suppliers. Some companies counter that they have their own safety improvement measures in place, while others, like Disney, have announced that they will leave Bangladesh altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Western companies are often quick to argue that although wages and working conditions in Bangladesh are far from ideal, they’re a lot better than they would be if the garment industry wasn’t there at all. Western demand has created jobs and training for millions of people, particularly women, offering a greater degree of independence and economic security. Since the arrival of textile manufacturing in the late 1970s, Bangladesh’s \u003ca href=\"http://data.worldbank.org/country/bangladesh\">poverty rate\u003c/a> has fallen from about 70 percent to less than 40 percent. And even though \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12650940\">about half the country\u003c/a> still lives on less than a dollar a day, income has risen markedly for large swaths of the population. Health and education have improved incrementally as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>What role do you play?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>And then there’s us. Consumers in Western nations now buy more clothes than ever before, according to Cline, particularly cheap clothes that aren’t made to last. Factory conditions would likely improve if consumers were to demand it, especially if we were willing to pay more for our clothes and absorb some of the costs .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's easier said than done. It’s one thing to be horrified by Bangladesh’s recent tragedy and to hope conditions improve. It’s quite another thing, though, to choose to pay more for clothes that were ethically manufactured. With the exception of the worst tragedies that grab our attention, most of the inequities in this system are out of sight, out of mind. Which makes it all too easy to pretend they don’t exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which begs the question: How much more would you be willing to pay to know your clothes were being produced in an ethical

Even after large cracks were found in the walls the day before the disaster, factory supervisors – under pressure to fill orders - ignored warnings to vacate the building, and ordered workers to continue production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the deadliest industrial disaster in Bangladesh’s history, but certainly not the only one in recent memory. Just the year before, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/18/world/asia/bangladesh-factory-fire-caused-by-gross-negligence.html\">112 garment workers were killed\u003c/a> in a factory fire near Dhaka, when supervisors ignored fire alarms and prevented workers from leaving their sewing machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong> Why Bangladesh?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Labor and production costs are dirt cheap. Making clothes in Bangladesh costs less than just about anywhere else in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take a quick look at the tags on your clothing. There's a good chance at least some of them were made in Bangladesh. Since the 1990s, Bangladesh’s ready-made garment industry has exploded, and now generates close to $20 billion a year in exports. It's now one of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2015/10/21/international-regional-trade-is-key-to-faster-growth-for-bangladesh-says-new-world-bank-report\" target=\"_blank\">largest apparel exporters in the world\u003c/a>, second only to China (which still far outpaces any other nation in exports, but has lost a good deal of contracts to Bangladesh, where production costs are even cheaper). Bangladesh is currently the \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/where-the-u-s-gets-its-clothing-one-year-after-the-bangladesh-factory-collapse/\" target=\"_blank\">third-largest apparel importer\u003c/a> to the United States, after China and Vietnam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, employment in the U.S. apparel manufacturing industry has declined by more than 80 percent in the last two decades, from about 900,000 to 150,000 jobs, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/spotlight/2012/fashion/\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Labor Statistics\u003c/a>. As recently as 1980, 70 percent of clothes sold in the United States were made domestically. Today, that's down to about 2 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2013/05/24/madeinamerica/\" target=\"_blank\">RELATED: Why America Stopped Making Its Own Clothes\u003c/a>]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Fast Fashion\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Most large clothing brands used to have seasonal fashion lines that would remain on the shelves for at least few months. But go into an H&M store today and then go back again a week or two later, and you’ll likely find a completely changed inventory. This is the concept behind fast fashion, pioneered over the last 15 years by European brands like H&M and Zana, and to a lesser extent, The Gap, Benetton, Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. The idea is to capture the latest design trends and whisk them from the catwalk to the store, producing trendy but generally low-quality garments in the fastest, most cost-effective way possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/03/11/174013774/in-trendy-world-of-fast-fashion-styles-arent-made-to-last\">NPR\u003c/a>, Elizabeth Cline, author of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.overdressedthebook.com/\">Overdressed: The Shockingly High Price of Fast Fashion\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, explained that stores like H&M produce hundreds of millions of garments per year. \"They put a small markup on the clothes and earn their profit out of selling an ocean of clothing,\" she says. H&M has about 2,800 stores in 48 markets and it's growing fast, especially in China and the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/170511842&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/170511842'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with companies making billions and consumers getting great deals, the cost has to be absorbed somewhere. And that’s where cheap factories in developing countries like Bangladesh come into the fray, often to the detriment of workers and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.esquire.com/style/news/a50655/fast-fashion-environment/\" target=\"_blank\"> environment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>So who’s to blame?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There’s no simple answer. It’s easy to blame the big clothing companies, many of whom reap enormous profits, fully aware of the decrepit conditions where their products are made. After the huge factory fire last November, a number of major clothing brands and retailers rejected a union-sponsored proposal to improve safety throughout Bangladesh's garment industry, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/id/100679902\">Associated Press reported\u003c/a>. Instead, companies expanded a patchwork system of private audits and training, which labor groups allege do little and lack any real enforcement mechanism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The textile factories are almost all locally owned and managed, allowing Western retailers to maintain a distance from them and turn a blind eye to factory-floor conditions. And blame, of course, can also be directed at the factory owners and Bangladeshi government officials who knowingly exploit and endanger the workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2015/03/18/making-your-t-shirt-a-journey-around-the-world/\" target=\"_blank\">RELATED: Where Was Your T-Shirt Made?\u003c/a>]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Rana Plaza disaster, a growing number of major designers, including H&M, Zana and Benetton, signed on to a legally binding agreement to pay for major safety improvements. And since then,\u003ca href=\"http://in%20the%20Bangladeshi%20factories%20where%20their%20clothing%20is%20made,\" target=\"_blank\"> fire and safety assessments\u003c/a> have been conducted in several thousand Bangladeshi factories where their clothing is made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But only a \u003ca href=\"http://bangladeshaccord.org/signatories/\" target=\"_blank\">small group of American companies\u003c/a> signed on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Gap, Wal-Mart, Sears and Target are among the major American clothing retailers that balked at joining the accord, despite relying heavily on Bangladeshi suppliers. Some companies counter that they have their own safety improvement measures in place, while others, like Disney, have announced that they will leave Bangladesh altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Western companies are often quick to argue that although wages and working conditions in Bangladesh are far from ideal, they’re a lot better than they would be if the garment industry wasn’t there at all. Western demand has created jobs and training for millions of people, particularly women, offering a greater degree of independence and economic security. Since the arrival of textile manufacturing in the late 1970s, Bangladesh’s \u003ca href=\"http://data.worldbank.org/country/bangladesh\">poverty rate\u003c/a> has fallen from about 70 percent to less than 40 percent. And even though \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12650940\">about half the country\u003c/a> still lives on less than a dollar a day, income has risen markedly for large swaths of the population. Health and education have improved incrementally as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>What role do you play?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>And then there’s us. Consumers in Western nations now buy more clothes than ever before, according to Cline, particularly cheap clothes that aren’t made to last. Factory conditions would likely improve if consumers were to demand it, especially if we were willing to pay more for our clothes and absorb some of the costs .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's easier said than done. It’s one thing to be horrified by Bangladesh’s recent tragedy and to hope conditions improve. It’s quite another thing, though, to choose to pay more for clothes that were ethically manufactured. With the exception of the worst tragedies that grab our attention, most of the inequities in this system are out of sight, out of mind. Which makes it all too easy to pretend they don’t exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which begs the question: How much more would you be willing to pay to know your clothes were being produced in an ethical manner?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/05/14/184019151/episode-458-bangladeshs-t-shirt-economy\" target=\"_blank\">NPR's Planet Money\u003c/a> show is documenting how T-shirts around the world are made.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Resources to further explore this issue\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lesson plan suggestions for using this issue in the classroom\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/14/corporate-irresponsibility-fashions-hidden-cost-in-bangladeshs-garment-industry/\">NY Times Learning Network\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/daily_videos/garment-industry-under-scrutiny-after-factory-collapse-in-bangladesh/\">PBS NewsHour Extra\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>International labor rights advocacy groups\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca title=\"International Labor Rights Fund\" href=\"http://www.laborrights.org/sites/default/files/publications-and-resources/DeadlySecrets.pdf\">International Labor Rights Fund\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca title=\"Fair Labor Association\" href=\"http://www.fairlabor.org/\">Fair Labor Association\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.industriall-union.org/\">IndustriAll Global Union\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca title=\"International Labour Organization\" href=\"http://www.ilo.org/global/lang--en/index.htm\">International Labour Organization (a United Nations organization)\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sites that help track product origins in the global supply chain\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://sourcemap.com/\">SourceMap\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.importgenius.com/\">ImportGenius \u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.piers.com/\">Piers\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Corporate responsibility statements from some major clothing retailers\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://about.hm.com/AboutSection/en/About/Sustainability/Commitments/Be-Ethical.html\">H&M\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gapinc.com/content/csr/html/OurResponsibility.html\">Gap\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://corporate.walmart.com/microsites/global-responsibility-report-2013/\">Wal-Mart\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://corporate.target.com/corporate-responsibility\">Target\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/lowdown/7912/who-made-your-t-shirt-the-hidden-cost-of-cheap-fashion","authors":["1263"],"categories":["lowdown_245","lowdown_256","lowdown_491","lowdown_2402","lowdown_2399"],"tags":["lowdown_357","lowdown_359","lowdown_358","lowdown_2337","lowdown_360"],"featImg":"lowdown_8009","label":"lowdown"},"lowdown_16663":{"type":"posts","id":"lowdown_16663","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"lowdown","id":"16663","score":null,"sort":[1480636803000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"living-in-the-shadows-of-the-golden-state-who-are-californias-undocumented-immigrants","title":"Who Are California's Undocumented Immigrants?

Although often relegated to the shadows of American society, this large population of undocumented residents were reluctantly thrust into the national spotlight during the long, bitter 2016 presidential campaign season. During his candidacy, Donald Trump consistently used fiery rhetoric, accusing undocumented immigrants of bringing crime and other problems into the country while taking valuable jobs from American citizens. He promised that as president, he'd order mass round-ups and mass deportations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since winning the election, Trump has somewhat narrowed the scope of some of his threats, now vowing to deport \"the more than 2 to 3 million criminal illegal immigrants.” But he continues to stand by many of his anti-immigrant original pledges, including punishing so-called \"\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2015/07/10/explainer-what-are-sanctuary-cities/\" target=\"_blank\">sanctuary cities\u003c/a>\" for not complying with federal immigration officials and rescinding President Obama's \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca\" target=\"_blank\">executive action\u003c/a> that protects hundreds of thousands of undocumented young people from deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprisingly, Trump's victory has provoked a heightened level of fear and uncertainty in undocumented communities across the country. In response, more than a dozen major cities, including San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York quickly reaffirmed their commitment to protecting documented residents and not cooperating with federal enforcement efforts (unless a serious crime is committed), even in the face of the president-elect's threats to withhold federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly a quarter of the nation's undocumented population lives in California, which issued a similar pledge to its residents.

Although often relegated to the shadows of American society, this large population of undocumented residents were reluctantly thrust into the national spotlight during the long, bitter 2016 presidential campaign season. During his candidacy, Donald Trump consistently used fiery rhetoric, accusing undocumented immigrants of bringing crime and other problems into the country while taking valuable jobs from American citizens. He promised that as president, he'd order mass round-ups and mass deportations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since winning the election, Trump has somewhat narrowed the scope of some of his threats, now vowing to deport \"the more than 2 to 3 million criminal illegal immigrants.” But he continues to stand by many of his anti-immigrant original pledges, including punishing so-called \"\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2015/07/10/explainer-what-are-sanctuary-cities/\" target=\"_blank\">sanctuary cities\u003c/a>\" for not complying with federal immigration officials and rescinding President Obama's \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca\" target=\"_blank\">executive action\u003c/a> that protects hundreds of thousands of undocumented young people from deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprisingly, Trump's victory has provoked a heightened level of fear and uncertainty in undocumented communities across the country. In response, more than a dozen major cities, including San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York quickly reaffirmed their commitment to protecting documented residents and not cooperating with federal enforcement efforts (unless a serious crime is committed), even in the face of the president-elect's threats to withhold federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly a quarter of the nation's undocumented population lives in California, which issued a similar pledge to its residents. The morning after the election, leaders of the state Assembly and Senate released a \u003ca href=\"http://sd24.senate.ca.gov/news/2016-11-09-joint-statement-california-legislative-leaders-result-presidential-election\" target=\"_blank\">statement\u003c/a> promising to maintain California as \"a refuge of justice and opportunity for people of all walks, talks, ages and aspirations ...
