Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

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.",

That's where the measure hit a snafu late Friday night, triggering the stalemate. The House later passed the 17-day extension by a 266-150 vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the Monday procedural vote was set to begin, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced that he would vote to reopen the government along with enough Democrats needed to advance the bill. After 24 hours of furious negotiation over plans to consider immigration legislation in the coming weeks, the Senate voted to move forward with the continuing resolution, which would fund the government through Feb. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In exchange for his support, Schumer said, he has received assurances from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that if an agreement isn't reached by then, the GOP leader will bring a vote to the floor on legislation to grant legal status to those protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, roughly 700,000 immigrants who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children. The bill also extends the expired Children's Health Insurance Program for six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell says Democrats caved because they realized holding out for a DACA deal tied to the funding deal was not wise politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think if we've learned anything during this process it's that a strategy to shut down the government over the issue of illegal immigration is something that the American people didn't understand,\" McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer, however, argued that blame for the weekend-long stalemate lay at the president's feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason the Republican majority had such difficulty finding consensus is they could never get a firm grip on what the president of their party wanted to do. These days, you never know who to deal with when it comes to the Republicans,\" Schumer said. \"The Republican leaders told me to work out a deal with the White House. The White House said, work it out with Republican leaders on the Hill. Separately, President Trump turned away from not one, but two, bipartisan compromises. Each would have avoided this shutdown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement later Monday, Trump said that with the government on the path to reopening, the administration would work on immigration legislation — but \"only if it's good for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am pleased that Democrats in Congress have come to their senses and are now willing to fund our great military, border patrol, first responders and insurance for vulnerable children,\" Trump said. \"As I've always said, once the government is funded, my administration will work towards solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration. We will make a long-term deal on immigration if and only if it's good for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders dodged questions at the daily briefing as to whether that would include a path to citizenship for DACA recipients, which many hard-line conservatives oppose. And she insisted that the president has been clear about what he wants in an immigration bill, despite shifting positions over the past week that even GOP leaders have complained about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the measure moving forward, it will now be hard for Democrats to argue they extracted many concessions from GOP leaders. McConnell's promise is just that — a promise. \"Some of us struggle to trust him,\" Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/22/579645748/democrats-want-immigration-issues-solved-before-vote-on-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told NPR's Morning Edition\u003c/a>, \"because of the famously vulgar way that President Trump sort of blew up the last time that Sens. [Lindsey] Graham and [Dick] Durbin offered him a bipartisan deal [on immigration].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats were trying to frame the deal as a temporary victory, though. Senate Minority Whip Durbin took the floor to call the DACA issue the \"civil rights issue of our time\" and underscore the importance of passing an immigration bill by the new deadline, which he said McConnell had assured them would be on a level playing field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many Senate Democrats had remained entrenched in their opposition to any funding deal that didn't include a DACA fix, a growing number of moderate lawmakers were wary of an extended shutdown fight. Most of the endangered Democrats who are up for re-election in 2018 in states that Trump won all voted to advance the measure, except for Montana Sen. Jon Tester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., who faces a potentially competitive re-election this fall, sounded optimistic about the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you have is pretty much an ironclad commitment that if we don't resolve this -- and that's what we're going to try to do with the Graham bill -- resolve the DACA issue by Feb. 8, the commitment is you go to the floor with a neutral bill, like a shell, and you let the Senate process work,\" Nelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Democrats had worried that the Republican talking point --that Democrats were siding with \"illegal immigrants\" over the military and government -- would resonate with voters as the stalemate extended into the workweek Monday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955426609326100480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted that argument\u003c/a> himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955426609326100480\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who has argued for tougher immigration standards, also echoed that sentiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shutting down the government and depriving American citizens of services because you want amnesty for illegal immigrants is a massive political blunder,\" said Cotton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has generally kept a low profile during the shutdown. He canceled a planned trip to Florida, where he hoped to celebrate the first anniversary of his inauguration with a high-dollar fundraising party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aides say the president spent the weekend telephoning lawmakers and working with staff to minimize fallout from shuttered government operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders pushed back on allegations from Schumer and other Democrats that Trump was absent from negotiations over the weekend and never reached out to their side. \"What the president did clearly worked,\" Sanders countered. \"The vote just came in 81-18.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of about 20 senators met for several hours on Saturday and again on Sunday afternoon to hash out the plan that ultimately allowed both sides to back down from their increasingly entrenched positions and vote to reopen the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from those talks briefed leaders Sunday afternoon, but the suspense dragged out for nearly six hours before McConnell made his announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several of the senators in the bipartisan group said they worried a prolonged shutdown could become harder to fix and would cause greater damage to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., who is one of several Democrats up for re-election in states where Trump won in 2016, joined the talks. \"One of the things we learned from the last shutdown was that as time goes on, positions harden,\" Heitkamp said. \"Resolution gets more difficult the longer we wait.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, more liberal senators -- including several potential 2020 hopefuls such as Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California and Bernie Sanders of Vermont -- all voted against the measure, standing firm over the DACA issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two conservative GOP senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky, also voted no, though they have repeatedly opposed on principle any continuing resolutions as a way to keep the government funded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House still has to vote on the new legislation. Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Sunday on CBS' \u003cem>Face the Nation\u003c/em> that he would support a spending bill like the one being discussed in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[McConnell] is going to bring up a bill keeping things funded to Feb. 8,\" Ryan said. \"We have agreed that we would accept that in the House.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One potential issue is that the deal to vote on immigration proposals applies only to the Senate. The House could choose to ignore whatever the Senate takes up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR White House correspondent Scott Horsley and NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

He canceled a planned trip to Florida, where he hoped to celebrate the first anniversary of his inauguration with a high-dollar fundraising party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aides say the president spent the weekend telephoning lawmakers and working with staff to minimize fallout from shuttered government operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders pushed back on allegations from Schumer and other Democrats that Trump was absent from negotiations over the weekend and never reached out to their side. \"What the president did clearly worked,\" Sanders countered. \"The vote just came in 81-18.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of about 20 senators met for several hours on Saturday and again on Sunday afternoon to hash out the plan that ultimately allowed both sides to back down from their increasingly entrenched positions and vote to reopen the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from those talks briefed leaders Sunday afternoon, but the suspense dragged out for nearly six hours before McConnell made his announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several of the senators in the bipartisan group said they worried a prolonged shutdown could become harder to fix and would cause greater damage to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., who is one of several Democrats up for re-election in states where Trump won in 2016, joined the talks. \"One of the things we learned from the last shutdown was that as time goes on, positions harden,\" Heitkamp said. \"Resolution gets more difficult the longer we wait.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, more liberal senators -- including several potential 2020 hopefuls such as Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California and Bernie Sanders of Vermont -- all voted against the measure, standing firm over the DACA issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two conservative GOP senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky, also voted no, though they have repeatedly opposed on principle any continuing resolutions as a way to keep the government funded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House still has to vote on the new legislation. Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Sunday on CBS' \u003cem>Face the Nation\u003c/em> that he would support a spending bill like the one being discussed in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[McConnell] is going to bring up a bill keeping things funded to Feb. 8,\" Ryan said. \"We have agreed that we would accept that in the House.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One potential issue is that the deal to vote on immigration proposals applies only to the Senate. The House could choose to ignore whatever the Senate takes up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR White House correspondent Scott Horsley and NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The documents show agents are trained that they can represent themselves as police officers and other officials when seeking consent to enter a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ruses can run the gamut from announcing that you are with DRO and looking for a person other than the target to adopting the guise of another agency (federal, state or local) or that of a private agency,\" an August 2005 ICE memo that's cited in later guidance says. The memo says agents must seek permission from the agency or business they plan to impersonate, but there's no guarantee they won't go through with their plans over any objections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The HQ/FOU will weigh the affected agency or entity’s equities or concerns against the well-known and inherent advantages that a ruse offers,\" the memo says. \"It is our intention to use whatever means available to ensure that officer, target and innocent third party safety is not compromised.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An undated ICE fugitive operations training slideshow encourages agents to “IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS ‘POLICE’ or ‘Federal Officers’ (DO NOT identify yourself as \u003cu>with a specific police department\u003c/u>)\" and to \"ASK FOR CONSENT TO ENTER AND Look Around (avoid the word 'search').\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Commissioner Thomas Mazzucco joined DeJesus' concerns Wednesday night about ICE agents being perceived as SFPD officers. He said he'd heard about San Francisco officers making immigration arrests from a member of his church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I asked afterwards and it was ICE agents wearing jackets that said 'police,' \" Mazzucco said. \"The jackets probably should say ‘federal agent’ and not ‘police.’ That’s an issue for the safety of the officers and the agents, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco City Attorney's Office declined to comment on any guidance it may give the commission, citing attorney-client privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We encourage San Francisco residents to contact the City Attorney's Office or the San Francisco Police Department if an ICE agent misrepresents themself as a San Francisco police officer,\" spokesman John Coté said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The documents show agents are trained that they can represent themselves as police officers and other officials when seeking consent to enter a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ruses can run the gamut from announcing that you are with DRO and looking for a person other than the target to adopting the guise of another agency (federal, state or local) or that of a private agency,\" an August 2005 ICE memo that's cited in later guidance says. The memo says agents must seek permission from the agency or business they plan to impersonate, but there's no guarantee they won't go through with their plans over any objections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The HQ/FOU will weigh the affected agency or entity’s equities or concerns against the well-known and inherent advantages that a ruse offers,\" the memo says. \"It is our intention to use whatever means available to ensure that officer, target and innocent third party safety is not compromised.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An undated ICE fugitive operations training slideshow encourages agents to “IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS ‘POLICE’ or ‘Federal Officers’ (DO NOT identify yourself as \u003cu>with a specific police department\u003c/u>)\" and to \"ASK FOR CONSENT TO ENTER AND Look Around (avoid the word 'search').\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Commissioner Thomas Mazzucco joined DeJesus' concerns Wednesday night about ICE agents being perceived as SFPD officers. He said he'd heard about San Francisco officers making immigration arrests from a member of his church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I asked afterwards and it was ICE agents wearing jackets that said 'police,' \" Mazzucco said. \"The jackets probably should say ‘federal agent’ and not ‘police.’ That’s an issue for the safety of the officers and the agents, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco City Attorney's Office declined to comment on any guidance it may give the commission, citing attorney-client privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We encourage San Francisco residents to contact the City Attorney's Office or the San Francisco Police Department if an ICE agent misrepresents themself as a San Francisco police officer,\" spokesman John Coté said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That is looking more and more difficult after most Democrats and at least three Republicans senators have said they won’t vote for the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure passed in the House, 230-197 with 11 Republicans voting against the bill and 6 Democrats voting for it, after House Freedom Caucus members reached a deal to vote for the bill. The group’s chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., had initially claimed enough of his members would withhold support that the bill would fail with GOP votes only, but about an hour before the vote was expected to begin Meadows told reporters he received enough concessions from House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., including plans for future votes on additional military funding, that he would recommend his caucus vote for the bill. And Thursday evening, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/954132162760069120\">the group said on Twitter\u003c/a> that a majority of its members has decided to support the stop-gap measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”O8QGZam90AaEjlzrDO1nzlidR9zEqyV5″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, want to include a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), set to expire in March, to protect the roughly 700,000 enrollees in the program who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. And House Democrats have indicated they won’t encourage their members to vote for the bill in order to bail out Republicans if the GOP falls short of the votes needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Senate Republicans have already said they won’t support the bill. Republicans only have a 51-49 advantage, with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., possibly unavailable due to medical issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was one of the lawmakers pushing for a bipartisan immigration deal to go along with a funding bill, reiterated Thursday evening he would oppose any short-term measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to support continuing this fiasco for 30 more days by voting for a continuing resolution,” Graham said. “It’s time Congress stop the cycle of dysfunction, grow up, and act consistent with the values of a great nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, President Trump injected fresh confusion into tense negotiations to avert an impending shutdown with a Thursday morning tweet that indicated he opposed the measure the White House had previously signaled support for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. The House funding bill includes a six-year renewal of the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, which GOP leaders included as a potential sweetener to get the votes they need to pass the stop-gap measure and to force Democrats to vote against the program they’re eager to reauthorize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953984671674662912\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan downplayed the tweet to reporters Thursday morning. “I am sure where he stands. He fully supports passing this legislation,” Ryan countered, noting that he spoke to the president after the tweet was posted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s tweet also contradicted the White House’s already stated position in favor of the stop-gap bill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Thursday, White House spokesman Raj Shah said the president supports the House bill. “The President supports the continuing resolution introduced in the House. Congress needs to do its job and provide full funding of our troops and military with a two-year budget caps deal,” Shah said. “However, as the deal is negotiated, the President wants to ensure our military and national security are funded. He will not let it be held hostage by Democrats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”ovNBjjUE1bp2FxNmzaxfbb2E9FV7eJV3″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday morning that he anticipates the House will pass the funding bill, but its fate in the Senate is uncertain. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he was “not sure what the president means” when asked on \u003cem>Fox & Friends \u003c/em>about the CHIP tweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last-minute confusion over CHIP further complicated spending negotiations that were stalled when Trump rejected a bipartisan Senate immigration plan intended to pave the way for a long-term spending agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also jabbed at Democrats in another tweet this morning over the stalled negotiations to reach a deal on spending limits for this fiscal year. “A government shutdown will be devastating to our military…something the Dems care very little about!” he tweeted. Democrats are resisting a spending deal agreement until a bipartisan immigration deal is clinched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigration talks fell apart last week after Trump rejected a plan proposed by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., to pair increased border security with new legal protections and a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 700,000 DACA participants who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”RGt5BPA3IgWAkorMfTSyLkuOBjuKPMg3″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that meeting that Trump questioned why the U.S. would want more immigrants from “shithole countries” in Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also weighed in Thursday on Twitter on immigration, again demanding money for a wall along the southern border with Mexico. “We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country. We need the Wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world. If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953979393180950528\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say they will not accept any spending bill that funds the construction of a physical border wall but they have been willing to negotiate over money for increased technology and other forms of border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953979393180950528\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, a second group of negotiators, led by the second-ranking Republicans and Democrats in the House and the Senate, has stepped in to attempt to craft a new deal but the talks have been largely unsuccessful, according to several aides familiar with the talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin is one of those negotiators, but he has indicated he will vote against the stop-gap funding measure in the Senate. A growing number of Senate Democrats see the vote on the funding bill as a leverage point to try and reach a deal on immigration, even if their opposition threatens a shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three centrist Democrats, Sen. Angus King of Maine (he is an independent but caucuses with Democrats) and Virginia Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner all announced Thursday morning they would oppose the funding measure. All three voted in favor of the previous stop-gap measure in late December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Congress should remain in session with no recess until we work out a long-term bipartisan budget deal that addresses all issues,” Kaine and Warner said in a joint statement in which they said they would vote for a stop-gap measure lasting just a few days to keep the government’s lights on and negotiations ongoing. Virginia is home to a large number of government employees who would be directly affected by a shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”klx6cgYYTeWQbPEzIaxHvmIBURwQeSac”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The continuing resolution is just a gimmick,” Kaine said Thursday evening on NPR’s \u003cem>All Things Considered\u003c/em>. “It’s a way of saying well we can’t decide so let’s just drive by looking in the rearview mirror and do what we did yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House needs to pass a bill Thursday in order to give the Senate time to do the same ahead of the midnight Friday deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One key Democratic divide in the Senate: a tactical split between the Democrats running for re-election this year in states that Trump carried, and the Democrats being mentioned as possible 2020 contenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”GJOovzvchBeeQhNOcwR0wIWDZXNaAjJs”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2020 hopefuls like New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, California Sen. Kamala Harris and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand all oppose voting for a funding bill, if it doesn’t include permanent protections for DACA recipients. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has advocated for this, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December, seven of the 10 Democrats running in states that Trump won in 2016 voted in favor of the funding bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration activists have increased the pressure on Democrats to oppose any spending measure while DACA is still unresolved. United We Dream has labeled Democrats who voted for the last funding bill, in December, as the “Deportation Caucus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked this morning if he would be responsible if the government shuts down, Trump responded: “Could happen.

Judge William Alsup wrote that DACA recipients would suffer “irreparable harm” as they lose DACA protections. It’s unclear how federal officials will handle DACA renewal applications they rejected for failing to meet an Oct. 5 deadline. A Department of Justice statement said the department will defend the termination, calling DACA an “unlawful circumvention of Congress,” and a White House statement called on Congress to find a solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Original Post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> Luis Galvan, 20, enjoyed a moment of triumph in late October when he boarded a plane for the first time and flew to Indianapolis to receive his Future Farmers of America degree, a prestigious certificate of achievement in the world of agriculture. Galvan was proud that all his grueling work with livestock and crops had paid off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his euphoria was short-lived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Galvan got home he tore open an envelope waiting for him from the Department of Homeland Security. It was crushing news. He had submitted his application to renew a vital work permit for young immigrants known as “Dreamers” in plenty of time, along with a renewal fee. He received a notice back that there was a snafu over a $495 scholarship check he had submitted to pay the fee, and he promptly followed instructions to correct that. But now, this second, final notice told him his application was rejected for being late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Galvan can’t appeal the rejection, his work permit is set to expire Jan. 15. That would jeopardize his job tutoring junior high kids. It would affect his studies at college. It could even lead to him being deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What a bucket of cold water,” Galvan said, during a late-night interview in Porterville, the small California farm city where he grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surrounded by a sea of orchards—including oranges now flooding U.S. markets—Porterville sits in California’s vast Central Valley. Considered one of the world’s most productive agribusiness regions, the valley depends on immigrant labor. And among those who represent the region in Congress are multiple Republican lawmakers, not least of them Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the powerful GOP majority leader whose district includes Porterville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The work permit Galvan holds stems from his status as a recipient of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/16/us/us-to-stop-deporting-some-illegal-immigrants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DACA\u003c/a>, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program whose fate rests, in no small part, in McCarthy’s hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Barack Obama created DACA in 2012 to allow undocumented young people brought to the United States as children to stay legally, conditionally, until, Obama said he hoped, Congress came up with a solution to help them. Nicknamed Dreamers, this population has no sure path to legal residency, no matter how long they’ve been here or how much they accomplish. DACA has temporarily protected them from deportation and allowed them to obtain work permits. On Sept. 5 though, President Donald Trump announced that he was pulling the plug on DACA, arguing in a statement that Obama lacked authority to create the program and that policy should be “fair to American families, students, taxpayers and jobseekers.” Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders added that unemployed Americans could possibly assume DACA recipients’ jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11642514\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 380px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11642514\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2.jpeg\" alt=\"Leydy Rangel, 22, and Eloisa Torres, 18, undocumented DACA recipients from Bakersfield, work up enthusiasm before trying to speak to House members in Washington, D.C. about a proposal to let them earn permanent legal status. \" width=\"380\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2.jpeg 380w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2-375x250.jpeg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leydy Rangel, 22, and Eloisa Torres, 18, undocumented DACA recipients from Bakersfield, work up enthusiasm before trying to speak to House members in Washington, D.C. about a proposal to let them earn permanent legal status. \u003ccite>(Susan Ferriss/Center for Public Integrity)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nearly 800,000 DACA recipients were suddenly plunged into uncertainty. Dreamers whose work permits were soon to expire were given a chance to apply, one last time, for two-year renewals by Oct. 5. Many missed the tight deadline or had applications they say were denied unfairly. If nothing changes, after March, all DACA recipients will begin to lose permits in waves as each card expires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation remains up in the air. Despite his harsh rhetoric claiming Dreamers occupy Americans’ jobs, Trump too challenged Congress to come up with a legislative fix with “heart” to help Dreamers before the March deadline. A flurry of negotiations to pass such a bill collapsed just prior to the holiday break. GOP leaders now say Congress will take up DACA again this month, as part of broader debate over Trump’s demands for more border wall investments and cuts in family-based immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the politics are complicated, and they’re especially complicated here in California, home to at least a quarter of Dreamers. Most polling, from ABC to Fox News, shows that 60 to upwards of 80 percent of Americans think Dreamers should get a chance to stay and become legalized. In and around Porterville, Dreamers and their backers angrily question why McCarthy and fellow congressmen from California’s Central Valley aren’t vigorously pushing for a legislative fix — pronto — because so many Dreamers’ lives hang in the balance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy declined an interview but in careful language has backed crafting a DACA fix as long as it’s coupled with more investments in border security measures. He said in a statement that he supported Trump’s position and that Congress is working on a “lawful solution to this problem.” It’s clear to everyone that McCarthy is not publicly leading a passionate charge to defend Dreamers. But the raw politics of both Washington and his district are hardly demanding that he do so — at least not right now. McCarthy won his last two elections with 75 percent and 69 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Differing perspectives\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On the ground in McCarthy’s district, however, where Latinos are 41 percent of the total population and 27 percent of those eligible to vote, feelings can also get more than a little raw. The 52-year-old congressman, a lifelong Bakersfield resident, represents most of Tulare County, where Porterville is located, and the majority of California’s sprawling Kern County. Kern is peppered with oil rigs that produce more oil than Oklahoma. The county is also home to military-industrial-complex interests. Kern’s formidable agribusiness production, consisting of grapes, fruit trees, scores of other crops and milk, made it the number one farm county in the nation in 2016 at $7.19 billion in value. Tulare’s farm production value was $6.37 billion. The state, as a whole, is by far the nation’s biggest dairy-producing state, while also producing almost half the nation’s fruits, nuts and vegetables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11642517\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"897\" height=\"1100\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM.png 897w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-160x196.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-800x981.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-240x294.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-375x460.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-520x638.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those stats form the basis for part of the passion here. After all, advocates for Dreamers argue California supplies a massive quantity of the food Americans consume. And agribusiness has acknowledged for a long time that immigrants, many of them undocumented and the parents of Dreamers, are essential to creating this bounty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve complained to McCarthy’s office: What about the Dreamers?” said John Duran, 67, a Republican in Porterville who is of Mexican descent but not an immigrant. “He needs to be doing more. But because he’s Republican he’s got to follow their agenda.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no exact numbers, but McCarthy’s 23rd Congressional District is home to an estimated 7,900 young people who fit the profile of those eligible to have signed up for DACA, according to analysis of Census Bureau data by the University of Southern California. Adjacent GOP districts have as many or even more of these young people, who were eligible to sign up for DACA once they reached 16, if they had lived here since at least June 15, 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duran, a former correctional officer who’s active in local politics, said he’s generally pro-Trump and is strongly opposed to government “giveaways.” But he winces at some of the rhetoric around immigrants that’s voiced by the president and his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even here, where it’s plain to the eye who does a lot of hard labor, Duran said, “some people seem to have the idea that illegal immigrants don’t do anything but crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duran says he was stunned not long ago when a non-Hispanic woman spoke out at a public forum about allowing Dreamers to serve in the military to earn legal status and citizenship. “She came up to me and said if they want to get citizenship, they should serve for 20 years,” he said. “That just doesn’t make sense to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Congress can change immigration law to open up a path that doesn’t exist now, a reality that runs contrary to misconceptions that there’s a line anyone wishing to immigrate can get into and just patiently wait a turn. A bipartisan bill introduced this past July, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1615\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dream Act of 2017\u003c/a>, would create a years-long path to permanent residency and citizenship for eligible young people who’ve been here at least four years prior to enactment of such legislation. But that bill did not advance. Versions of the Dream Act in Congress go back to 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the details, though, some DACA recipients here say they’d just like to hear McCarthy defend them more vigorously — and act with speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porterville Dreamer Marco Reyes, 20, who works as a cashier and studies at Porterville College, a community college, said: “If I talked to McCarthy I’d ask him what he’s doing behind the scenes that nobody else is doing. He must be doing something. Are you going to surprise us later, hopefully with something that’s not bad? Because with politicians you never know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>American Dream at Stake\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>As Republicans bore down on passing tax reform, GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky told Fox News shortly before the holiday break that “we have plenty of time” to act on DACA to meet Trump’s March deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Galvan said: “I can’t wait.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with nerves on edge, he’s got to attend classes at the local College of the Sequoias — in preparation for transfer to a four-year university — and report for as long as he can to his job tutoring 7th and 8th graders. The kids remind him of himself, when he was growing up poor but struggling to hold onto dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After I got DACA, I went crazy,” Galvan said, explaining the sense of liberation it gave him. “I joined every club I could. I’ve really tried to do my best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been a long road. Galvan arrived from Mexico at five, and now he’s 20. As he was growing up, employers continued to hire people with little fear of getting penalized for “knowingly,” as the law says, hiring undocumented workers. Farm groups have long admitted that authentic-looking fake documents immigrants buy are part and parcel of how California’s factories in the fields stay open. Galvan’s dad has worked for the same agricultural employer for 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an early December pro-DACA rally in Porterville, population 60,000, agitated locals channeled their anger about the treatment of undocumented workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These people live in the shadows and break their backs so that the people of America can eat!” Rosa Salmeron, a California State University, Fresno, student of social work shouted through a bullhorn. “We’re not shadows. We are people!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salmeron, 37, patted Galvan’s shoulder as he took the bullhorn at a rally in Veteran’s Park to tell the crowd about his dilemma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salmeron, whose parents fled El Salvador during its civil war, is a naturalized U.S. citizen and grateful, she said, for the 1986 amnesty that Congress and President Ronald Reagan crafted that allowed her and her parents a chance to legalize and then go on to become citizens. Her family members live and have businesses in McCarthy’s district, in Bakersfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These people are not representing us,” she told the crowd of several dozen. She urged people to register to vote and oust local Republicans from Congress if they don’t do more for Dreamers. “The American Dream is at stake!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kevin McCarthy is my representative and it upsets me that he won’t meet to talk about this,” added Daniel Peñaloza, 24, who runs an office in Porterville set up by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights based in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peñaloza has organized pro-DACA rallies not only outside McCarthy’s offices, but also at the offices of neighboring congressmen \u003ca href=\"https://valadao.house.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep. David Valadao\u003c/a>, R-Hanford, of the 21st District, and \u003ca href=\"https://nunes.house.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep. Devin Nunes\u003c/a>, R-Tulare, of the 22nd District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valadao, the son of Portuguese immigrants, is a dairy farmer. He doesn’t have the clout that McCarthy wields, but he’s ventured where many other Republicans won’t go. He was one of three Republicans in the House who co-sponsored a failed 2013 comprehensive immigration reform package that would put undocumented workers on an earned path to legal status, a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valadao is also one of two GOP congressmen from California who signed up to co-sponsor the Dream Act of 2017. The other co-sponsor is \u003ca href=\"https://denham.house.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep. Jeff Denham\u003c/a>, R-Turlock, whose 10th Congressional District also includes farm country to the north of Fresno. Both also signed a Dec. 5 letter with \u003ca href=\"https://newhouse.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/34-house-republicans-urge-daca-fix-end-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">32 other GOP legislators\u003c/a> urging Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., to put the Dream Act of 2017 on the floor for a vote. Ryan declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we approach the March deadline,” Valadao said in a statement, “it is more critical than ever that Congress immediately act to repair our broken immigration system and provide DACA recipients with the certainty they deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewhispanic.org/interactives/mapping-the-latino-electorate-by-congressional-district/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pew Research Center\u003c/a>, almost 76 percent of Valadao’s district is Latino, and more than 39 percent of the population eligible to vote is Latino — the highest percentage among California’s 14 Republican districts in the House. Democrats hold the rest of California’s 53 House seats. Despite his pro-immigrant record, Democrats consider Valadao vulnerable in the next election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Washington, D.C., McCarthy’s communications director, Matt Sparks, addressed complaints that his boss seemed indifferent to Dreamers and would not meet with constituents unhappy that he isn’t publicly elevating their cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sparks said pro-DACA rallies have been disruptive at district offices, and interrupted other constituents’ business. He said field staff in California attend town meetings regularly, and listen respectfully to complaints aired in that setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He provided a statement from McCarthy: “President Trump was right to correct President Obama’s executive overreach by calling on Congress to find a solution for the children of illegal immigrants who came to this country through no fault of their own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy had previously told CNBC that “I don’t think this country is going to move these individuals out.” In the same interview, he acknowledged, to a point, his district’s dependence on immigrant workers. “I come from an agricultural community and I know you need a guest-worker program,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sparks said DACA isn’t the only immigration-related issue that constituents bring up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some district residents want to know about possible reforms Congress might initiate to broaden an existing guest-worker program for agriculture. Some want to talk about “chain migration,” a pejorative word coined by immigration-restriction activists to describe how immigrants, once citizens, can petition to sponsor certain relatives, including siblings and parents, to immigrate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When there’s consensus around an immigration reform plan,” Sparks said, “then I think something will happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sparks also said that McCarthy’s office was open to learning more about Luis Galvan’s work permit snafu to see if staff could help.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Agribusiness view\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Grimmway Farms in Kern County is the world’s largest grower of carrots. Its owners, prominent local donors to McCarthy, declined to comment on DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Beatris Sanders, the executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://kerncfb.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kern County Farm Bureau\u003c/a>, said that immigration issues “hit us really hard here in Kern. It’s a priority for us to have a working system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11642532\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 380px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11642532\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers3.jpeg\" alt=\"Workers harvest oranges in groves that fill the congressional district of Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield.\" width=\"380\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers3.jpeg 380w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers3-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers3-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers3-375x250.jpeg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Workers harvest oranges in groves that fill the congressional district of Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield. \u003ccite>( Susan Feriss/Center for Public Integrity)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She said the bureau maintains “open dialogue” with McCarthy but has no official position on DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think anyone should penalize anyone because of something beyond their control,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also expressed sympathy for Luis Galvan when she heard his story: “I know there are many, many stories like this out there,” Sanders said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kern County Republican Party declined to comment on DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Porterville, Republican activist Susan Queen, who is a “100 percent Trump fan,” said she doesn’t think the DACA recipients, or Dreamers, should be removed from the country, and she doesn’t think Trump does either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously I have sympathy for the kids,” said Queen, 68, a member of the California Federation of Republican Women of Southeastern Tulare County. “I think there should be some sort of way to make them legal here,” she said, “but I don’t know about citizens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My dad was a judge,” Queen explained, “and I don’t like rewarding anything illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the Dreamers are allowed to gain legal status, she said, perhaps they shouldn’t be allowed to bring in other family members later. It makes her mad, she said, to think about an old friend in Germany who wanted to live and work in the United States and couldn’t seem to ever get a visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Queen’s family raised animals and had groves she picked oranges from as a kid, but she’s not in the farm business and her children didn’t work in the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Central Valley citrus grower Manuel Cunha, who is no liberal when it comes to business regulations he considers excessive, is a longtime proponent of legalizing undocumented farmworkers who have been here for years. The director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.niseifarmersleague.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nisei Farmers League\u003c/a> in Fresno, north of Bakersfield, he knows McCarthy well and has raised money for McCarthy and other prominent Republicans. “I’ve fundraised so much that we probably could have paid for immigration reform many times over,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11642534\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 380px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11642534\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers4.jpeg\" alt=\"Workers earn $21 for each orange bin they fill in a grove that sits in Kern County.\" width=\"380\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers4.jpeg 380w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers4-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers4-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers4-375x250.jpeg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Workers earn $21 for each orange bin they fill in a grove that sits in Kern County. \u003ccite>(Susan Ferriss/Center for Public Integrity)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We’ve given up on some of our political people,” he said in exasperation. “The people who say the climate is not right for immigration, or it’s not the right time. Oh, but come to our fundraiser.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he was in Washington, D.C., recently to visit with members of Congress and staff and talk about undocumented immigrant workers, DACA and the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our rural communities are made up of thousands of these folks,” Cunha said. “They’re in school or working, and they have one parent in the fields, or in the packing houses,” Cunha said, “and maybe another is in construction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How simple it would be to do a DACA reform,” Cunha said. “You’ve vetted all of them already.” The current crop of young DACA recipients have already been checked for criminal records, fingerprinted, and paid into getting work permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Come on, Kevin, let’s get it done,” Cunha said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the uncertainty, kids have come into his office sobbing, he said, because they couldn’t renew their permits, or they’re terrified about what’s next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Bakersfield, the characterization of their parents as lawbreakers, or invaders, upsets Dreamers Eloisa Torres, 18, and Leydy Rangel, 22. Both traveled to Washington, D.C, this fall twice on trips sponsored by the \u003ca href=\"http://ufw.org/\">United Farm Workers\u003c/a> union so they could tell their stories to staff and members of Congress who’d listen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your parents struggle,” said Torres, who wasn’t even two years old when she arrived. “They’ve told me, ‘Become something.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said her father was often away to accept work he was offered in construction, or in agricultural fields. She didn’t ask her parents for money to start college this year at California State University, Bakersfield. She collected cans to recycle to make initial payments, and was relieved when tuition fees dropped because of state aid. She’s thinking about becoming a lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rangel, who grew up migrating from the Coachella Valley up through Bakersfield and beyond, picked grapes and pruned vines in the state’s vast vineyards as a child. In high school she convinced her parents to leave her alone in Coachella so she could stay and finish high school there and apply to college. She recently graduated from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every night, she worries about her parents getting deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11642537\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 380px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11642537\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers5.jpg\" alt=\"Undocumented DACA recipient Ivan Gonzalez, 22, an 800 meters state high school champion, attended the University of California, Berkeley.\" width=\"380\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers5.jpg 380w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers5-160x238.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers5-240x357.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers5-375x559.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Undocumented DACA recipient Ivan Gonzalez, 22, an 800 meters state high school champion, attended the University of California, Berkeley. \u003ccite>(Photo Courtesy of Ivan Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another DACA recipient in Bakersfield, Ivan Gonzalez, now 22, managed to cap off his undocumented childhood by running his way to becoming the 800 meters state champion in high school. He won a full scholarship to the University of California at Berkeley. “People didn’t care about my citizenship status when I was running track,” said Gonzalez, whose choice to attend Berkeley was featured in local news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s back in Bakersfield after graduation and is working at Youth 2 Leaders Education Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He counsels parents and kids on available options for college scholarships. California legislators, over the years, have gradually passed legislation to first allow undocumented students to attend state colleges and pay in-state tuition rather than out-of-state fees. Later legislation was passed to allow students to receive state aid, not federal, to help pay for tuition. Private scholarships are out there as well. “There are people who think we don’t belong here while eating what my people are picking,” he said. He tells families to keep kids in school, no matter what happens to DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, Gonzalez also participates in citizenship workshops to help immigrants with legal permanent residency prepare for testing. “You don’t know how much I wish I were in your position,” he jokes with aspiring citizens he helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Luis Galvan, there’s no time to waste. He’s in a race to avoid having his DACA work permit expire. He’s talked to a lawyer, and to \u003ca href=\"https://missionassetfund.org/daca-renewal-scholarships/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mission Asset Fund\u003c/a>, a nonprofit group in San Francisco that provided him the scholarship to pay his renewal fee. Tara Robinson, the fund’s chief development officer, said the fund issued more than 5,000 checks to DACA recipients and the majority were cashed by Homeland Security. A small number weren’t accepted, which Robinson said could have been due to a Homeland Security error. When Galvan received word from the department to resubmit his application and a new payment, he bought a money order and Mission Asset Fund later reimbursed him. Then the rejection notice arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, the first few days after that I couldn’t sleep,” he said. “My mom was crying most of the time. It’s hard. I just try holding it in.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Judge William Alsup wrote that DACA recipients would suffer “irreparable harm” as they lose DACA protections. It’s unclear how federal officials will handle DACA renewal applications they rejected for failing to meet an Oct. 5 deadline. A Department of Justice statement said the department will defend the termination, calling DACA an “unlawful circumvention of Congress,” and a White House statement called on Congress to find a solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Original Post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> Luis Galvan, 20, enjoyed a moment of triumph in late October when he boarded a plane for the first time and flew to Indianapolis to receive his Future Farmers of America degree, a prestigious certificate of achievement in the world of agriculture. Galvan was proud that all his grueling work with livestock and crops had paid off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his euphoria was short-lived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Galvan got home he tore open an envelope waiting for him from the Department of Homeland Security. It was crushing news. He had submitted his application to renew a vital work permit for young immigrants known as “Dreamers” in plenty of time, along with a renewal fee. He received a notice back that there was a snafu over a $495 scholarship check he had submitted to pay the fee, and he promptly followed instructions to correct that. But now, this second, final notice told him his application was rejected for being late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Galvan can’t appeal the rejection, his work permit is set to expire Jan. 15. That would jeopardize his job tutoring junior high kids. It would affect his studies at college. It could even lead to him being deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What a bucket of cold water,” Galvan said, during a late-night interview in Porterville, the small California farm city where he grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surrounded by a sea of orchards—including oranges now flooding U.S. markets—Porterville sits in California’s vast Central Valley. Considered one of the world’s most productive agribusiness regions, the valley depends on immigrant labor. And among those who represent the region in Congress are multiple Republican lawmakers, not least of them Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the powerful GOP majority leader whose district includes Porterville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The work permit Galvan holds stems from his status as a recipient of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/16/us/us-to-stop-deporting-some-illegal-immigrants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DACA\u003c/a>, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program whose fate rests, in no small part, in McCarthy’s hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Barack Obama created DACA in 2012 to allow undocumented young people brought to the United States as children to stay legally, conditionally, until, Obama said he hoped, Congress came up with a solution to help them. Nicknamed Dreamers, this population has no sure path to legal residency, no matter how long they’ve been here or how much they accomplish. DACA has temporarily protected them from deportation and allowed them to obtain work permits. On Sept. 5 though, President Donald Trump announced that he was pulling the plug on DACA, arguing in a statement that Obama lacked authority to create the program and that policy should be “fair to American families, students, taxpayers and jobseekers.” Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders added that unemployed Americans could possibly assume DACA recipients’ jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11642514\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 380px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11642514\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2.jpeg\" alt=\"Leydy Rangel, 22, and Eloisa Torres, 18, undocumented DACA recipients from Bakersfield, work up enthusiasm before trying to speak to House members in Washington, D.C. about a proposal to let them earn permanent legal status. \" width=\"380\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2.jpeg 380w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dreamers2-375x250.jpeg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leydy Rangel, 22, and Eloisa Torres, 18, undocumented DACA recipients from Bakersfield, work up enthusiasm before trying to speak to House members in Washington, D.C. about a proposal to let them earn permanent legal status. \u003ccite>(Susan Ferriss/Center for Public Integrity)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nearly 800,000 DACA recipients were suddenly plunged into uncertainty. Dreamers whose work permits were soon to expire were given a chance to apply, one last time, for two-year renewals by Oct. 5. Many missed the tight deadline or had applications they say were denied unfairly. If nothing changes, after March, all DACA recipients will begin to lose permits in waves as each card expires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation remains up in the air. Despite his harsh rhetoric claiming Dreamers occupy Americans’ jobs, Trump too challenged Congress to come up with a legislative fix with “heart” to help Dreamers before the March deadline. A flurry of negotiations to pass such a bill collapsed just prior to the holiday break. GOP leaders now say Congress will take up DACA again this month, as part of broader debate over Trump’s demands for more border wall investments and cuts in family-based immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the politics are complicated, and they’re especially complicated here in California, home to at least a quarter of Dreamers. Most polling, from ABC to Fox News, shows that 60 to upwards of 80 percent of Americans think Dreamers should get a chance to stay and become legalized. In and around Porterville, Dreamers and their backers angrily question why McCarthy and fellow congressmen from California’s Central Valley aren’t vigorously pushing for a legislative fix — pronto — because so many Dreamers’ lives hang in the balance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy declined an interview but in careful language has backed crafting a DACA fix as long as it’s coupled with more investments in border security measures. He said in a statement that he supported Trump’s position and that Congress is working on a “lawful solution to this problem.” It’s clear to everyone that McCarthy is not publicly leading a passionate charge to defend Dreamers. But the raw politics of both Washington and his district are hardly demanding that he do so — at least not right now. McCarthy won his last two elections with 75 percent and 69 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Differing perspectives\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On the ground in McCarthy’s district, however, where Latinos are 41 percent of the total population and 27 percent of those eligible to vote, feelings can also get more than a little raw. The 52-year-old congressman, a lifelong Bakersfield resident, represents most of Tulare County, where Porterville is located, and the majority of California’s sprawling Kern County. Kern is peppered with oil rigs that produce more oil than Oklahoma. The county is also home to military-industrial-complex interests. Kern’s formidable agribusiness production, consisting of grapes, fruit trees, scores of other crops and milk, made it the number one farm county in the nation in 2016 at $7.19 billion in value. Tulare’s farm production value was $6.37 billion. The state, as a whole, is by far the nation’s biggest dairy-producing state, while also producing almost half the nation’s fruits, nuts and vegetables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11642517\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"897\" height=\"1100\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM.png 897w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-160x196.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-800x981.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-240x294.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-375x460.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-17-at-2.48.45-PM-520x638.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those stats form the basis for part of the passion here. After all, advocates for Dreamers argue California supplies a massive quantity of the food Americans consume. And agribusiness has acknowledged for a long time that immigrants, many of them undocumented and the parents of Dreamers, are essential to creating this bounty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve complained to McCarthy’s office: What about the Dreamers?” said John Duran, 67, a Republican in Porterville who is of Mexican descent but not an immigrant. “He needs to be doing more. But because he’s Republican he’s got to follow their agenda.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no exact numbers, but McCarthy’s 23rd Congressional District is home to an estimated 7,900 young people who fit the profile of those eligible to have signed up for DACA, according to analysis of Census Bureau data by the University of Southern California. Adjacent GOP districts have as many or even more of these young people, who were eligible to sign up for DACA once they reached 16, if they had lived here since at least June 15, 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duran, a former correctional officer who’s active in local politics, said he’s generally pro-Trump and is strongly opposed to government “giveaways.” But he winces at some of the rhetoric around immigrants that’s voiced by the president and his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even here, where it’s plain to the eye who does a lot of hard labor, Duran said, “some people seem to have the idea that illegal immigrants don’t do anything but crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duran says he was stunned not long ago when a non-Hispanic woman spoke out at a public forum about allowing Dreamers to serve in the military to earn legal status and citizenship. “She came up to me and said if they want to get citizenship, they should serve for 20 years,” he said. “That just doesn’t make sense to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Congress can change immigration law to open up a path that doesn’t exist now, a reality that runs contrary to misconceptions that there’s a line anyone wishing to immigrate can get into and just patiently wait a turn. A bipartisan bill introduced this past July, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1615\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dream Act of 2017\u003c/a>, would create a years-long path to permanent residency and citizenship for eligible young people who’ve been here at least four years prior to enactment of such legislation. But that bill did not advance. Versions of the Dream Act in Congress go back to 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the details, though, some DACA recipients here say they’d just like to hear McCarthy defend them more vigorously — and act with speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porterville Dreamer Marco Reyes, 20, who works as a cashier and studies at Porterville College, a community college, said: “If I talked to McCarthy I’d ask him what he’s doing behind the scenes that nobody else is doing. He must be doing something. Are you going to surprise us later, hopefully with something that’s not bad? Because with politicians you never know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>American Dream at Stake\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>As Republicans bore down on passing tax reform, GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky told Fox News shortly before the holiday break that “we have plenty of time” to act on DACA to meet Trump’s March deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Galvan said: “I can’t wait.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with nerves on edge, he’s got to attend classes at the local College of the Sequoias — in preparation for transfer to a four-year university — and report for as long as he can to his job tutoring 7th and 8th graders. The kids remind him of himself, when he was growing up poor but struggling to hold onto dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After I got DACA, I went crazy,” Galvan said, explaining the sense of liberation it gave him. “I joined every club I could. I’ve really tried to do my best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been a long road. Galvan arrived from Mexico at five, and now he’s 20. As he was growing up, employers continued to hire people with little fear of getting penalized for “knowingly,” as the law says, hiring undocumented workers. Farm groups have long admitted that authentic-looking fake documents immigrants buy are part and parcel of how California’s factories in the fields stay open. Galvan’s dad has worked for the same agricultural employer for 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an early December pro-DACA rally in Porterville, population 60,000, agitated locals channeled their anger about the treatment of undocumented workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These people live in the shadows and break their backs so that the people of America can eat!” Rosa Salmeron, a California State University, Fresno, student of social work shouted through a bullhorn. “We’re not shadows. We are people!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salmeron, 37, patted Galvan’s shoulder as he took the bullhorn at a rally in Veteran’s Park to tell the crowd about his dilemma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salmeron, whose parents fled El Salvador during its civil war, is a naturalized U.S. citizen and grateful, she said, for the 1986 amnesty that Congress and President Ronald Reagan crafted that allowed her and her parents a chance to legalize and then go on to become citizens. Her family members live and have businesses in McCarthy’s district, in Bakersfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These people are not representing us,” she told the crowd of several dozen. She urged people to register to vote and oust local Republicans from Congress if they don’t do more for Dreamers. “The American Dream is at stake!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kevin McCarthy is my representative and it upsets me that he won’t meet to talk about this,” added Daniel Peñaloza, 24, who runs an office in Porterville set up by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights based in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peñaloza has organized pro-DACA rallies not only outside McCarthy’s offices, but also at the offices of neighboring congressmen \u003ca href=\"https://valadao.house.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep.

He doesn’t have the clout that McCarthy wields, but he’s ventured where many other Republicans won’t go. He was one of three Republicans in the House who co-sponsored a failed 2013 comprehensive immigration reform package that would put undocumented workers on an earned path to legal status, a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valadao is also one of two GOP congressmen from California who signed up to co-sponsor the Dream Act of 2017. The other co-sponsor is \u003ca href=\"https://denham.house.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep.

Ryan declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we approach the March deadline,” Valadao said in a statement, “it is more critical than ever that Congress immediately act to repair our broken immigration system and provide DACA recipients with the certainty they deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewhispanic.org/interactives/mapping-the-latino-electorate-by-congressional-district/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pew Research Center\u003c/a>, almost 76 percent of Valadao’s district is Latino, and more than 39 percent of the population eligible to vote is Latino — the highest percentage among California’s 14 Republican districts in the House. Democrats hold the rest of California’s 53 House seats. Despite his pro-immigrant record, Democrats consider Valadao vulnerable in the next election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Washington, D.C., McCarthy’s communications director, Matt Sparks, addressed complaints that his boss seemed indifferent to Dreamers and would not meet with constituents unhappy that he isn’t publicly elevating their cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sparks said pro-DACA rallies have been disruptive at district offices, and interrupted other constituents’ business. He said field staff in California attend town meetings regularly, and listen respectfully to complaints aired in that setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He provided a statement from McCarthy: “President Trump was right to correct President Obama’s executive overreach by calling on Congress to find a solution for the children of illegal immigrants who came to this country through no fault of their own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy had previously told CNBC that “I don’t think this country is going to move these individuals out.” In the same interview, he acknowledged, to a point, his district’s dependence on immigrant workers. “I come from an agricultural community and I know you need a guest-worker program,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sparks said DACA isn’t the only immigration-related issue that constituents bring up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some district residents want to know about possible reforms Congress might initiate to broaden an existing guest-worker program for agriculture. Some want to talk about “chain migration,” a pejorative word coined by immigration-restriction activists to describe how immigrants, once citizens, can petition to sponsor certain relatives, including siblings and parents, to immigrate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When there’s consensus around an immigration reform plan,” Sparks said, “then I think something will happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sparks also said that McCarthy’s office was open to learning more about Luis Galvan’s work permit snafu to see if staff could help.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Agribusiness view\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Grimmway Farms in Kern County is the world’s largest grower of carrots.

He’s talked to a lawyer, and to \u003ca href=\"https://missionassetfund.org/daca-renewal-scholarships/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mission Asset Fund\u003c/a>, a nonprofit group in San Francisco that provided him the scholarship to pay his renewal fee. Tara Robinson, the fund’s chief development officer, said the fund issued more than 5,000 checks to DACA recipients and the majority were cashed by Homeland Security. A small number weren’t accepted, which Robinson said could have been due to a Homeland Security error. When Galvan received word from the department to resubmit his application and a new payment, he bought a money order and Mission Asset Fund later reimbursed him. Then the rejection notice arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
