As of his first week in office, it was still not clear if he would take action on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although as a candidate, Trump initially pledged to deport all 11 million undocumented residents, he's since scaled back that threat, and now says the focus will primarily be on immigrants with criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his most provocative talking points on the campaign trail was the promise to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall, with Mexico footing the estimated $10 billion bill.

As of his first week in office, it was still not clear if he would take action on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although as a candidate, Trump initially pledged to deport all 11 million undocumented residents, he's since scaled back that threat, and now says the focus will primarily be on immigrants with criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his most provocative talking points on the campaign trail was the promise to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall, with Mexico footing the estimated $10 billion bill.

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.

Alien!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of loaded terms are used to refer to the diverse group of more than 11 million immigrants who live in the United States without legal status. 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 ...

The new law prioritized immigrants' skills and family reunification and almost doubled the number of annual visas allotted, opening the doors to a new tide of immigrants from Latin America and Asia. Since then, nearly 59 million immigrants have come to live in the U.S. Along with their children, they make up more than half of America's population growth in the last 50 years, literally reshaping the face of the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Explore this interactive timeline of U.S. immigration laws and they're impact on the relative size of the foreign-born population.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.pewhispanic.org/interactives/immigration-law-timeline/iframe/\" width=\"650\" height=\"900\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 40 million current U.S. residents — legal and undocumented — were born elsewhere. That makes America the top destination in the world for immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprisingly, more U.S. immigrants come from Mexico than anywhere else: roughly 11.7 million people — or 29 percent of all U.S. immigrants. That’s about five times the number of immigrants from China, the second-largest group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexicans now make up the largest foreign-born population in 33 states. But, as Jens Manuel Kroogstad at\u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/05/27/a-shift-from-germany-to-mexico-for-americas-immigrants/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Pew Research\u003c/a> notes, it wasn’t always this way. A century ago, another huge wave of immigrants flooded into the United States: between 1890 and 1919, more than 18 million newcomers, mostly from Europe, settled here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his analysis of U.S. Census data from 1910, Kroogstad found that 18 percent of all U.S. immigrants — about 2.5 million people — came from Germany, far more than any other country. Germans made up the largest immigrant group in 17 states and the the District of Columbia. Immigrants from Russia and other former Soviet countries were the second largest group (11 percent, or 1.6 million). Mexicans, by contrast, were the majority immigrant population in only three states: Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The new law prioritized immigrants' skills and family reunification and almost doubled the number of annual visas allotted, opening the doors to a new tide of immigrants from Latin America and Asia. Since then, nearly 59 million immigrants have come to live in the U.S. Along with their children, they make up more than half of America's population growth in the last 50 years, literally reshaping the face of the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Germans made up the largest immigrant group in 17 states and the the District of Columbia. Immigrants from Russia and other former Soviet countries were the second largest group (11 percent, or 1.6 million).

Two years later, in March 2003, the United States invaded Iraq and deposed President Saddam Hussein. Although not directly linked to the terrorist attacks, Hussein was suspected of producing weapons of mass destruction (although none were ever found), and the invasion was a key part of America's newly launched War on Terror under the leadership of President George W.

And currently, as the Islamic extremist group ISIS -- which sprouted from the resultant political instability of war-- continues to grow and threaten the stability of Iraq and neighboring Syria, the U.S. has again resumed air strikes in that region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 9/11, budgets for defense-related agencies sky-rocketed: Homeland Security's discretionary budget jumped from about $16 billion in 2002 to \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/budget-bib-fy2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">more than $43 billion\u003c/a> in 2011.

In that time, more than 6,000 American troops have been killed, and roughly 44,000 wounded. Of returning service members, more than 18 percent have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression, and almost 20 percent have reported suffering from the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>California impact\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is second only to Texas in its contribution of recruits to the U.S. military.

Immigration and deportation\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>With the goal of strengthening border security, the Bush Administration created the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhs.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Department of Homeland Security\u003c/a> in 2002, a cabinet-level office that merged 22 government agencies. Immigration and Naturalization Service and the US Customs Service -- both formerly part of the Department of Justice -- were consolidated into the newly formed \u003ca title=\"Multimedia Resource Roundup\" href=\"https://www.ice.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)\u003c/a>. The agency has overseen a massive increase in deportations, which have nearly doubled since 9/11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dhs.gov%2Fyearbook-immigration-statistics&ei=NKxPUPu5K87hiwKn14HADQ&usg=AFQjCNFZCr-MNftShOtU3Ycc8HPUr1M1Zg&sig2=agIJsVoj7kiDoBqPasJOQQ\" target=\"_blank\">Department of Homeland Security’s Yearbook of Immigration Statistics\u003c/a>, there were roughly 200,000 annual deportations a year between 1999 and 2001. While that number dropped slightly in 2002, it began to steadily climb the following year. In the first two years of the Obama Administration (2009-10), deportations hit a record high of nearly 400,000 annually. About half of those deported in 2009-10 were convicted of a criminal offense, although mostly for low-level, non-violent crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ice.gov/secure_communities/\" target=\"_blank\">Secure Communities\u003c/a> program, established in 2008 and officially phased out in 2014, allowed local law enforcement to check the immigration status of every person booked in a county or local jail -- even if not ultimately convicted of a crime -- by comparing fingerprints against federal immigration records. The program resulted in numerous cases of undocumented immigrants entering deportation proceedings after being stopped for minor infractions (like not using a turn signal while driving).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2008, ICE had established Secure Communities information-sharing partnerships with just 14 local law enforcement agencies. In 2014, it had partnerships with every single\u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/secure-communities/pdf/sc-activated.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> law enforcement jurisdiction \u003c/a>in the nation (all 3,181 of them).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>California impact\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, Jerry Brown -- then California’s Attorney General -- agreed to implement the program throughout the state. As of 2012, ICE reported it had taken nearly 48,000 “convicted criminal aliens” in California into custody. Almost half of them were deported, even though less than a quarter had been convicted of offenses considered “serious or violent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican nationals have been disproportionately impacted: in 2008, they made up roughly 70 percent of all cases, according to a report by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Medill School\u003c/a> at Northwestern University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is the primary destination for foreign nationals entering the country, and home to a quarter of America's immigrant population. Of the nearly 10 million immigrants (both naturalized and undocumented) residing in the state, an estimated 4.3 million are Mexican, 28 percent of whom are naturalized, according to the \u003ca title=\"Multimedia Resource Roundup\" href=\"www.ppic.org\" target=\"_blank\">Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.youtube.com/embed/XrKd_2MoKpE\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>III. The friendly skies\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Long airport lines, full body scans, the occasional pat-down (for the lucky ones). It's all par for the course, nowadays, for air travel. But not so long ago, it wasn't unusual to show up at the airport a half-hour before a domestic flight, keep your shoes tied tight, and skip through the metal detector while sipping a Big Gulp, all without ever having to show an ID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the advent of color-coded security threat warnings, pat downs were very uncommon, liquid was allowed, and the notion of having to go through full-body scanners was the stuff of science fiction. Heck, prior to 9/11, some airport security teams even allowed passengers to take box cutters aboard (the supposed weapon used by the 9/11 hijackers). Any knife with a blade up to four inches long was permitted. And cigarette lighters? No problem!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the terrorist attacks, airport security underwent a series of major overhauls. And a service that was once largely provided by private companies is now overseen by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tsa.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Transportation Security Administration\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Created in the wake of the attacks, the TSA is tasked with instituting new security procedures and managing screening at every commercial airport checkpoint in the country. It marks the single largest federal start up since the days of World War II. The agency is authorized to use watch lists of individuals who could pose flight safety risks. By 2007, it had already accumulated a database of over 700,000 names, according to the Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although advocates argue that the changes have made air travel vastly safer, the additional security steps have also tacked on a significant amount of travel time for the average passenger, infringed on privacy rights and, in many instances, increased scrutiny of minority travelers, particularly those of Middle Eastern descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.youtube.com/embed/HsDAvCOFT9M\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>IV. A mushrooming surveillance state\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The U.S. intelligence state boomed in the wake of 9/11. The growth resulted in a marked increase in government intrusion, primarily through a vast, clandestine network of phone and web surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Classified documents leaked last year by former government contractor Edward Snowden detail the expansion of a colossus surveillance state that has seeped into the lives of millions of Americans. The exponential growth of this apparatus -- armed with a $52.6 billion budget in 2013 -- was brought to light last year when the \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/black-budget-summary-details-us-spy-networks-successes-failures-and-objectives/2013/08/29/7e57bb78-10ab-11e3-8cdd-bcdc09410972_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Post\u003c/a> obtained a \"black budget\" report from Snowden, detailing the bureaucratic and operational landscape of the 16 spy agencies and more than 107,000 employees that now make up the U.S. intelligence community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further audits reveal that the National Security Agency alone has annually scooped up as many as 56,000 emails and other communications by Americans with no connection to terrorism, and violated privacy laws thousands of times per year since 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.youtube.com/embed/S61eL_06RZ4\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's all par for the course, nowadays, for air travel.

Heck, prior to 9/11, some airport security teams even allowed passengers to take box cutters aboard (the supposed weapon used by the 9/11 hijackers). Any knife with a blade up to four inches long was permitted. And cigarette lighters? No problem!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the terrorist attacks, airport security underwent a series of major overhauls.

By 2007, it had already accumulated a database of over 700,000 names, according to the Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although advocates argue that the changes have made air travel vastly safer, the additional security steps have also tacked on a significant amount of travel time for the average passenger, infringed on privacy rights and, in many instances, increased scrutiny of minority travelers, particularly those of Middle Eastern descent.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/HsDAvCOFT9M'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/HsDAvCOFT9M'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch4>IV.
