His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Saturday, 11:55 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Bay Area congressional leaders on Saturday quickly rejected President Trump's proposal to reopen the federal government by exchanging temporary protections for people brought to the country illegally as children for $5.7 billion in border wall funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11719616/trump-offers-temporary-immigrant-protections-for-5-7-billion-in-wall-money\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump's offer\u003c/a>, which he announced Saturday afternoon from the White House, would extend for three years legal status and protection from deportation for the roughly 700,000 recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, as well as temporary protected status for some 300,000 immigrants who have fled natural disasters or unrest in their native countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has previously rescinded DACA and TPS protections, although its move against DACA has been blocked by the courts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In exchange, he's asking for $800 million for humanitarian assistance at the border, $805 million for drug-detection technology at ports of entry, an additional 2,750 border agents, 75 new \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717702/thousands-of-immigrants-in-court-limbo-due-to-government-shutdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">immigration judge teams\u003c/a>,\" the ability for Central American minors to apply for asylum from their home countries and $5.7 billion for \"strategic deployment of physical barriers or a wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before the president announced his proposal, Bay Area Democrats were coming out against it based on early media reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Democrat and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the proposal a \"compilation of previously rejected initiatives\" in a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1086730113369165827\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement released\u003c/a> 30 minutes before Trump's speech. \"It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1086730113369165827\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi specifically called out the lack of a permanent solution for DACA recipients and those with temporary protected status, but several of the \"smart, effective border security solutions\" Pelosi said that Democrats would support — new drug-detection technology at ports of entry, increased border staffing and more immigration judges — were included in Trump's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What is original in the President’s proposal is not good. What is good in the proposal is not original,\" Pelosi \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1086756248119316482\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted\u003c/a> after Trump officially unveiled his plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Dublin, also rebuffed Trump's offer before it was officially announced. Swalwell told KQED just before the president's speech that any proposal including a wall is off the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to trade opening the government or the fate of Dreamers for a wall,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell, a staunch critic of the president and rumored candidate for president in 2020, added that he could support a proposal that includes funding for barriers at certain points along the border, but not a wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he wants to have targeted barriers where he can articulate vulnerabilities, I’m open to working with him on that,” he said, noting that he does not think the president will budge on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fellow Bay Area Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, said in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/01/19/rep-zoe-lofgren-trump-daca-offer-democrats-response-sot-nr-vpx.cnn\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interview with CNN\u003c/a> shortly after Trump's announcement that Democrats will not negotiate with the president on funding for a wall while the government is shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can have a discussion about solving our policy differences, but not with the government hostage,” said Lofgren, who leads the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren, a former immigration attorney and longtime advocate for immigration reform, told CNN that Democrats do support funding for border security and conceded that some of their ideas may overlap with the president’s in some areas, but she said the government should reopen before negotiations begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to get to where we need to be for our country with the president coming up with deals that are only his deals that he’s never discussed with anyone,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren added that Democrats plan to release their border security proposals in detail next week, including a proposal to “dramatically” increase the number of immigration judges, one to increase funding for the Coast Guard, and another to strengthen funding for new detection technologies at official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost all the drugs that are coming over the land borders come through the ports of entry; they come on trucks,” she said. “And we don’t have the technology to detect those drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, also called funding the border wall a \"non-starter\" and said border security negotiations should wait until after the government is reopened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We shouldn't shut down the government for policy disagreements,\" DeSaulnier said at a town hall in his district on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do agree with [Trump] on the immigration reform,\" he added. \"We do need to fix the system; it's broken. But for him to claim there's a humanitarian crisis? I've seen it, and he's contributed to it significantly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, called the proposal a \"real slap in the face,\" and echoed her colleagues complaints over the lack of long-term protections for DACA and TPS recipients. But she said even if they were included, it would not be enough for her to agree to the rest of Trump's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not for a $5 billion wall,\" she told KQED. \"Dreamers deserve a pathway to citizenship regardless of any proposed wall or any proposal the president makes. That’s the right thing to do.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also lamented the continued impact of the partial government shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These government workers don’t have a lot of money, and this president is just holding them hostage,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepBarbaraLee/status/1086778035305467905\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike her colleagues, Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, said there are parameters under which she could support providing some funding for a border wall, including if the president were to propose a permanent fix for DACA, rather than just three years of protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that would be a deal that I personally could support,” she said. “But not all of my colleagues would even be willing to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that didn't stop her from harshly criticizing the proposal and the president's negotiating tactics, which she said indicate that he’s not willing to negotiate with Democrats at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to negotiate with a terrorist,” she said. “He’s becoming a terrorist in the way he’s negotiating with us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1086780030372536320\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her statement, Pelosi said Democrats plan to pass a package of six bills to reopen the government \"so that we can fully negotiate on border security proposals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, who has previously said he would not bring any proposal to reopen the government up for a vote in the Senate unless it was agreed upon by the president and Democrats, said in a statement after the speech that he will move the president's proposal through the Senate this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government has been partially shutdown since Dec. 22. and has led to more than 800,000 federal employees being furloughed or forced to work without pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Sara Hossaini and Caroline Champlin contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated to include comments from Reps. Barbara Lee, Jackie Speier and Mark DeSaulnier.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Eric Swalwell, D-Dublin, also rebuffed Trump's offer before it was officially announced. Swalwell told KQED just before the president's speech that any proposal including a wall is off the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to trade opening the government or the fate of Dreamers for a wall,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell, a staunch critic of the president and rumored candidate for president in 2020, added that he could support a proposal that includes funding for barriers at certain points along the border, but not a wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he wants to have targeted barriers where he can articulate vulnerabilities, I’m open to working with him on that,” he said, noting that he does not think the president will budge on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fellow Bay Area Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, said in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/01/19/rep-zoe-lofgren-trump-daca-offer-democrats-response-sot-nr-vpx.cnn\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interview with CNN\u003c/a> shortly after Trump's announcement that Democrats will not negotiate with the president on funding for a wall while the government is shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can have a discussion about solving our policy differences, but not with the government hostage,” said Lofgren, who leads the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren, a former immigration attorney and longtime advocate for immigration reform, told CNN that Democrats do support funding for border security and conceded that some of their ideas may overlap with the president’s in some areas, but she said the government should reopen before negotiations begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to get to where we need to be for our country with the president coming up with deals that are only his deals that he’s never discussed with anyone,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren added that Democrats plan to release their border security proposals in detail next week, including a proposal to “dramatically” increase the number of immigration judges, one to increase funding for the Coast Guard, and another to strengthen funding for new detection technologies at official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost all the drugs that are coming over the land borders come through the ports of entry; they come on trucks,” she said. “And we don’t have the technology to detect those drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, also called funding the border wall a \"non-starter\" and said border security negotiations should wait until after the government is reopened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We shouldn't shut down the government for policy disagreements,\" DeSaulnier said at a town hall in his district on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do agree with [Trump] on the immigration reform,\" he added. \"We do need to fix the system; it's broken. But for him to claim there's a humanitarian crisis? I've seen it, and he's contributed to it significantly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, called the proposal a \"real slap in the face,\" and echoed her colleagues complaints over the lack of long-term protections for DACA and TPS recipients. But she said even if they were included, it would not be enough for her to agree to the rest of Trump's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not for a $5 billion wall,\" she told KQED. \"Dreamers deserve a pathway to citizenship regardless of any proposed wall or any proposal the president makes. That’s the right thing to do.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also lamented the continued impact of the partial government shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These government workers don’t have a lot of money, and this president is just holding them hostage,\" she said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some Central Americans squinted at the papers as if they were love letters they didn’t believe. “Open the border or we’ll shut it down! All of us must be allowed to enter!” the notes read in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The handouts, made in the United States, informed migrants of their legal right to seek asylum regardless of how they enter the U.S. Some featured illustrations of silhouetted families tearing down a chain-link fence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flyers were written in the first-person plural, as if by the migrants themselves. But they were, in fact, authored by By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), a U.S.-based group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting across the border by any means necessary is absolutely the right thing to do,” BAMN national chair Shanta Driver told KPBS in a phone interview from the U.S. “We urge and encourage people to take mass action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5U6fhSzzGE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 64-year-old attorney and civil rights organizer said many migrants are not safe in Mexico.

They come from countries where political violence is a way of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some migrants disagree. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karen Perez, 32, is a Nicaraguan who traveled with the caravan and her four children. She doesn’t like the idea of getting tear-gassed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you tell me to cross illegally, then you’re putting my life in danger, and my kids’ lives as well,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her tent at Barretal, Tijuana’s main shelter for the migrant caravan, she kept her chin up and tried not to smear her coral red lipstick as she wiped tears from her face.

She said BAMN is using the migrants to convey a message to President Donald Trump, and that it is backfiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is not solidarity. That’s exploitation. They’re exploiting migrants to make a political point about who should and shouldn’t be allowed into the United States,” she said. \"They're feeding into the narrative that anybody who tries to help migrants is also criminal, and it's really doing a lot to harm our movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a precaution, she said, Al Otro Lado has changed its volunteer policy to prohibit anyone who works with the organization from encouraging migrants to cross the border illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Other Activists Provide Aid And Protection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some left-wing American activists under a collective they call the \"Caravan Support Network\" say they’re taking a more moderate approach with the migrants, bringing food and donations and protecting them from hate groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evan Duke III stood 6’3” and towered above most of the Mexican police officers stationed at a migrant shelter in Tijuana called Contra Viento y Mareo on a recent Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke, a 48-year-old anti-fascist organizer from Seattle, had previously faced down white supremacists and misogynists at protests by violent far-right groups like Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer and Unite the Right in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 7, he was with about a dozen younger Americans who’d brought coffee and breakfast burritos to migrants who faced eviction from the shelter. The activists, representing a range of social justice and environmental causes, heard that right-wing and nationalist Mexican groups were organizing a march against the caravan, like one over the weekend in which residents cried, “Mexico first!” and “Migrants yes, invaders no!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11719131\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Migrants-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Activists from the Caravan Support Network stand guard outside a migrant shelter in Tijuana on Jan. 7, 2019.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11719131\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Migrants.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Migrants-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Activists from the Caravan Support Network stand guard outside a migrant shelter in Tijuana on Jan. 7, 2019. \u003ccite>(KRIS ARCIAGA/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Guarding the warehouse, the Americans were conspicuous in their eclectic style.

He said the Caravan Support Network started operating in Tijuana on Nov. 25, the day of the first tear-gas incident at the border, to provide food and other relief to migrants. Additionally, they wanted to protect the Central Americans from anti-migrant groups that were beginning to organize marches against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When right-wing hate groups threaten to march on refugees, we’re going to put a call out to the community to stand in support of them … to put bodies in front of them if they’re threatened,” Duke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, the far-right group Oath Keepers put out \u003ca href=\"https://oathkeepers.org/2018/12/oath-keepers-call-to-action-border-operation/\">a call to action\u003c/a> for militants to head to the border to “help stem the tide of illegal invasion.” The group did not respond to repeated requests for comment about those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke said his group has received death threats from anti-migrant activists, including one on Facebook that KPBS viewed: “I will kill you if you get too comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his group’s initiative to help the caravan is part of a larger plan: the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/asylumaid/\">Border Support Network\u003c/a>,” to set up camps on indigenous land along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, to try to stop President Trump’s wall construction and other projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They plan to launch this effort at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/somisekvillage/\">Somi Se’k Village Base Camp\u003c/a>, where, with the help of the local tribe, they will educate activists in flora and fauna conservation, indigenous ways of life and nonviolent direct action such as\u003ca href=\"https://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/tree-sits-make-for-high-drama/\"> tree sits\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_dragon_(manoeuver)\">sleeping dragons.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he believes in the Amazonian prophecy of the eagle and the condor, which says that two divided paths, represented by the birds of prey, will soon reunite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I advocate for an end to borders … that’s just me personally,” he said, emphasizing that not everyone in the Border Support Network has the same beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the New Year’s incident, Duke said he wasn’t there. But his friend Brendon Tucker, a 24-year-old Texan, was there and wanted to correct the record about that night. He denied allegations that activists had done anything illegal. He said they ran into the migrants as they approached the fence of their own volition, and that the Americans stopped to document human rights abuses and to offer medical aid. Someone in their group had milk of magnesia, to counter tear gas effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker said he wanted to help migrants after learning that the U.S. contributed to unrest in Central America, such as by backing military coups, sending guns, and emitting greenhouse gases that hurt harvests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in cleaning up our own mess, and this is a mess we created in the first place,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker knows how to cook, and after hearing about family separations last summer, he set off to launch a kitchen for migrants south of Brownsville, Texas. When he heard thousands of migrants were going to be stuck in Tijuana while awaiting asylum in the U.S., he traveled west.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you see an injustice in your country, and you don’t speak out about it, there’s nothing less patriotic than that,” he said. “We need people en masse to show up and get involved. If you’re not involved now, I don’t know what you’re doing. You can’t sit out there and tweet about it all the time. You gotta get out and do something about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker, who’s blonde with a Texas Hill Country accent, said he didn’t always feel passionately about this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Texas, we were taught Manifest Destiny like it was the best thing since sliced bread,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Books are what changed his mind about the superiority of the white race. He rattled off a list of books he said Americans who think of migrants as “criminals” should read: \"Manufacturing Consent\" by Edward S.

He said the Caravan Support Network started operating in Tijuana on Nov. 25, the day of the first tear-gas incident at the border, to provide food and other relief to migrants. Additionally, they wanted to protect the Central Americans from anti-migrant groups that were beginning to organize marches against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When right-wing hate groups threaten to march on refugees, we’re going to put a call out to the community to stand in support of them … to put bodies in front of them if they’re threatened,” Duke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, the far-right group Oath Keepers put out \u003ca href=\"https://oathkeepers.org/2018/12/oath-keepers-call-to-action-border-operation/\">a call to action\u003c/a> for militants to head to the border to “help stem the tide of illegal invasion.” The group did not respond to repeated requests for comment about those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke said his group has received death threats from anti-migrant activists, including one on Facebook that KPBS viewed: “I will kill you if you get too comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his group’s initiative to help the caravan is part of a larger plan: the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/asylumaid/\">Border Support Network\u003c/a>,” to set up camps on indigenous land along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, to try to stop President Trump’s wall construction and other projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They plan to launch this effort at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/somisekvillage/\">Somi Se’k Village Base Camp\u003c/a>, where, with the help of the local tribe, they will educate activists in flora and fauna conservation, indigenous ways of life and nonviolent direct action such as\u003ca href=\"https://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/tree-sits-make-for-high-drama/\"> tree sits\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_dragon_(manoeuver)\">sleeping dragons.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he believes in the Amazonian prophecy of the eagle and the condor, which says that two divided paths, represented by the birds of prey, will soon reunite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I advocate for an end to borders … that’s just me personally,” he said, emphasizing that not everyone in the Border Support Network has the same beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the New Year’s incident, Duke said he wasn’t there. But his friend Brendon Tucker, a 24-year-old Texan, was there and wanted to correct the record about that night. He denied allegations that activists had done anything illegal. He said they ran into the migrants as they approached the fence of their own volition, and that the Americans stopped to document human rights abuses and to offer medical aid. Someone in their group had milk of magnesia, to counter tear gas effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker said he wanted to help migrants after learning that the U.S. contributed to unrest in Central America, such as by backing military coups, sending guns, and emitting greenhouse gases that hurt harvests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in cleaning up our own mess, and this is a mess we created in the first place,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker knows how to cook, and after hearing about family separations last summer, he set off to launch a kitchen for migrants south of Brownsville, Texas. When he heard thousands of migrants were going to be stuck in Tijuana while awaiting asylum in the U.S., he traveled west.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you see an injustice in your country, and you don’t speak out about it, there’s nothing less patriotic than that,” he said. “We need people en masse to show up and get involved. If you’re not involved now, I don’t know what you’re doing. You can’t sit out there and tweet about it all the time. You gotta get out and do something about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker, who’s blonde with a Texas Hill Country accent, said he didn’t always feel passionately about this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Texas, we were taught Manifest Destiny like it was the best thing since sliced bread,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Books are what changed his mind about the superiority of the white race. He rattled off a list of books he said Americans who think of migrants as “criminals” should read: \"Manufacturing Consent\" by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky and \"What Uncle Sam Really Wants,\" also by Noam Chomsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Paloma For Trump' Encourages Migrants to Go Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paloma Zuniga, a 41-year-old Mexican-American media personality who goes by “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/PalomaForTrump/\">Paloma for Trump,\u003c/a>” has become the face of the anti-migrant movement in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She travels to migrant shelters and makes Facebook Live videos about the people she’s characterized to her 49,000 Facebook followers as “invaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she was filming at Contra Viento y Mareo on Dec. 21, a security guard got angry and whipped out his phone to film her back. “Chill out,” she said. “We’re making a documentary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11719154\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist-800x471.jpg\" alt=\"Paloma Zuniga talks to a Honduran migrant in Tijuana who wants to go home, Dec. 21, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"471\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11719154\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist-160x94.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paloma Zuniga talks to a Honduran migrant in Tijuana who wants to go home, Dec. 21, 2018. \u003ccite>(KRIS ARCIAGA/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Zuniga has sold “Make Tijuana Great Again” baseball caps since the arrival of the caravan.

Most of my friends are blonde and very American,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga was 11 when she migrated to the U.S. from Mexico with her mother, who married an American man with two daughters of Polish descent. “I couldn’t get away with not learning English ‘cause (my stepsisters) would pick on me like you wouldn’t believe,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga said the only discrimination she’s ever faced personally was in elementary school, and it wasn’t from white people, but from U.S.-born Mexicans. She said they would pull her hair and push her because of her accent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hispanic people are all very jealous of each other,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the migrant shelter, Zuniga found a Honduran man she had met before, who had told her he had plans to go home. He told her he needed money to buy bus tickets for his two friends to join him. He wanted to know if he could ask her followers on Facebook to help him; they were going to tell Hondurans to stop organizing caravans. He said he was disillusioned with how hard it was to get into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Okay I love your message,” Zuniga told him. “I’m going to go live … he wants to send a message.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga was part of a confrontation against the caravan in the fall. Rocks and punches were thrown. She told KPBS she has since realized the migrants are not that bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not all criminals, which I also had a really bad understanding of them,” she said. “And as I’ve gotten to know them, there’s a lot of persecution, there’s a lot of oppression from their government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga says she’s not against all the migrants — just the ones who break the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Give me your hand so they see,” she tells the Honduran man who was heading back home, gripping his hand while her boyfriend recorded them on Facebook Live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while thousands of these Central Americans want asylum, Zuniga said most of them don’t deserve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They call me a racist all the time.

Ross oversees the Census Bureau. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To conclude otherwise and let Secretary Ross's decision stand would undermine the proposition — central to the rule of law — that ours is a 'government of laws, and not of men,'\" Furman wrote, quoting one of the country's founding fathers, John Adams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furman added, \"[Ross] ignored and violated a clear statutory duty\" to use existing government records about people's citizenship status as much as possible rather than using the census to ask a citizenship question. In another violation of the law, Ross \"announced his decision in a manner that concealed its true basis rather than explaining it,\" Furman said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the two consolidated cases Furman ruled on, the Trump administration is fighting five more lawsuits across the country filed by dozens of states, cities and other groups that want the citizenship question removed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second trial over the question \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716366/federal-trial-begins-in-san-francisco-over-census-citizenship-question\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">began earlier this month in San Francisco\u003c/a>, and is ongoing.

Ross oversees the Census Bureau. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To conclude otherwise and let Secretary Ross's decision stand would undermine the proposition — central to the rule of law — that ours is a 'government of laws, and not of men,'\" Furman wrote, quoting one of the country's founding fathers, John Adams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furman added, \"[Ross] ignored and violated a clear statutory duty\" to use existing government records about people's citizenship status as much as possible rather than using the census to ask a citizenship question. In another violation of the law, Ross \"announced his decision in a manner that concealed its true basis rather than explaining it,\" Furman said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the two consolidated cases Furman ruled on, the Trump administration is fighting five more lawsuits across the country filed by dozens of states, cities and other groups that want the citizenship question removed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second trial over the question \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716366/federal-trial-begins-in-san-francisco-over-census-citizenship-question\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">began earlier this month in San Francisco\u003c/a>, and is ongoing.
