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.",

Then, \"time went by, and the kids began going to school, and we stayed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When that happened, Carolina joined the ranks of unauthorized immigrants who didn’t cross the border illegally, but rather arrived on a temporary visa, such as issued for visits or studying, and stayed beyond their permitted time.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>U.S. Can't Keep Track of Visa Overstayers\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Keeping tabs on people who overstay their visas has proved difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Congress has called for better ways to count those who remain illegally in the country. But aside from several pilot programs that have not gone far, the U.S. hasn't come up with a solution yet, said Claude Arnold, a former field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t definitely verify that someone has departed the country, a non-immigrant,\" Arnold said. \"The only record that would show their departure is airline records. And while that usually is linked to some sort of identification document, it is not linked to biometrics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a nationwide biometric exit-tracking system is far off, and U.S. officials continue to rely on the information contained in travelers' passports to verify travelers' information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the 1990s, Congress passed a law calling for a system to track visa entries and exits. The same call was repeated with added urgency after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Congressional directives since have sought the development of a fingerprint-based or other biometric system that would let officials know with certainty who leaves the U.S. and who doesn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It's very easy to visualize whether there is a wall or not. It's harder to think about the whole system.'\u003ccite>Randy Capps, Migration Policy Institute\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>According to the Migration Policy Institute, a handful of nations, like Australia and the United Kingdom, have developed ways to track visitors who leave their countries. Hong Kong also has an exit tracking system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts say exit tracking systems tend to work better for governments that are islands or have a lower volume of travelers. In the U.S., with its multiple international airports, its busy land borders, and high volume of travelers, it’s proved impossible so far, said Randy Capps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would require deploying technology at every gate at every airport for every international flight, which is prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging,\" Capps said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be even harder to track those who leave by land, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/travel/biometric-security-initiatives\">biometric test programs\u003c/a> have been tried out in recent years. Last summer, federal officials set up a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/cbp-deploys-test-departure-information-systems-technology-hartsfield\">field test of facial-recognition technology\u003c/a> at Atlanta's international airport to compare images of some departing travelers with their photos on record.

Trump's \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/omb/budget/fy2018/budget.pdf\">proposed federal budget\u003c/a> calls for $2.6 billion in infrastructure and security technology, including money for the construction of a southern border wall. The Migration Policy Institute's Capps points to one reason why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's very easy to visualize people coming across the border,\" Capps said. \"It’s very easy to visualize whether there is a wall or not. It’s harder to think about the whole system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Enforcement Hampered by Lack of Information\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Immigration officials said they attempt to seek out some visa overstayers, and would gladly look for more, but they have limited information to work with. A recent audit by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General listed a number of \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2017/OIG-17-56-May17_0.pdf\">technological challenges\u003c/a> in tracking overstays, like databases that don't communicate with one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best thing agents have to work with is airline passenger records, and these can be inaccurate, said Arnold, the former local immigration enforcement chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of times they’ll go through that whole process, they’ll locate where the person last lived, and they’ll find out the person did depart the U.S.,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because agency resources are limited, he said, those investigated tend to be deemed security threats. As for everyone else, \"unless they are encountered in some other ICE enforcement action, they are essentially … not going to be looked for proactively,\" Arnold said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MjPGw27Ffo2U0kPc9aTNpXSiZ6xD8Uj9\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added there’s a perception, perhaps misguided, that people who arrive with visas are somehow less risky than those who come without one. “People have to get visas, right?\" Arnold said. \"They have to go through the inspection process. So, they can’t be that bad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminal penalties are also nonexistent. While it’s a misdemeanor to enter the country illegally, it’s not a crime to overstay a visa. Pending legislation in the House of Representatives seeks to change that: \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/643\">One measure\u003c/a>, introduced earlier this year, would make it a crime to overstay a visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another broader immigration bill recently debated in a House committee would criminalize illegal presence in the U.S., applying to overstayers as well as those who came without visas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carolina has heard this news. But she said she works, pays taxes and raises her kids like any other American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they are saying they are going to deport all the people who entered with visas then, I guess, that would be me,\" Carolina said. \"But I do not feel like I am a criminal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband, who eventually joined the family here without a visa, are being sponsored by relatives for green cards that would grant them legal resident status.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But aside from several pilot programs that have not gone far, the U.S. hasn't come up with a solution yet, said Claude Arnold, a former field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t definitely verify that someone has departed the country, a non-immigrant,\" Arnold said. \"The only record that would show their departure is airline records. And while that usually is linked to some sort of identification document, it is not linked to biometrics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a nationwide biometric exit-tracking system is far off, and U.S. officials continue to rely on the information contained in travelers' passports to verify travelers' information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the 1990s, Congress passed a law calling for a system to track visa entries and exits. The same call was repeated with added urgency after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Congressional directives since have sought the development of a fingerprint-based or other biometric system that would let officials know with certainty who leaves the U.S. and who doesn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It's very easy to visualize whether there is a wall or not.

A recent audit by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General listed a number of \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2017/OIG-17-56-May17_0.pdf\">technological challenges\u003c/a> in tracking overstays, like databases that don't communicate with one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best thing agents have to work with is airline passenger records, and these can be inaccurate, said Arnold, the former local immigration enforcement chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of times they’ll go through that whole process, they’ll locate where the person last lived, and they’ll find out the person did depart the U.S.,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because agency resources are limited, he said, those investigated tend to be deemed security threats. As for everyone else, \"unless they are encountered in some other ICE enforcement action, they are essentially … not going to be looked for proactively,\" Arnold said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added there’s a perception, perhaps misguided, that people who arrive with visas are somehow less risky than those who come without one. “People have to get visas, right?\" Arnold said. \"They have to go through the inspection process. So, they can’t be that bad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminal penalties are also nonexistent. While it’s a misdemeanor to enter the country illegally, it’s not a crime to overstay a visa. Pending legislation in the House of Representatives seeks to change that: \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/643\">One measure\u003c/a>, introduced earlier this year, would make it a crime to overstay a visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another broader immigration bill recently debated in a House committee would criminalize illegal presence in the U.S., applying to overstayers as well as those who came without visas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carolina has heard this news. But she said she works, pays taxes and raises her kids like any other American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they are saying they are going to deport all the people who entered with visas then, I guess, that would be me,\" Carolina said. \"But I do not feel like I am a criminal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Maybe once in a blue moon that would happen,” said Acheson. “Now, one in five undocumented families that come in will only stay a week and then flee, because they feel that they’re safer running, than sort of being a ‘sitting duck’ as they’ve called it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/327145121&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police chiefs in \u003ca href=\"http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/HPD-chief-announces-decrease-in-Hispanics-11053829.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Houston \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-immigrant-crime-reporting-drops-20170321-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles\u003c/a> have both announced concerning decreases in reports of sexual and domestic violence by Latina women. According to the San Francisco Police Department, their unpublished data show a 14 percent decrease in reports of domestic violence by Hispanic women in the first three months of the year, compared to the same time period in the previous year. SFPD Sgt. Michael Andraychak said they couldn't attribute the drop to any particular reason, though they are aware of deportation concerns in the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to reassure the community that victims or witnesses of any crime can come forward and report those incidents to the police, without concerns of their immigration status being questioned,” said Andraychak in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many other local law enforcement agencies, immigration lawyers and shelters say it’s too early in the new presidential administration to release conclusive data. But, from Livermore to Sacramento, organizations report observations of increased fears causing immigrants to retreat from the services they need, and the preliminary data they do have echoes the anecdotal reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undocumented immigrants “are already so marginalized, and they’re getting nabbed by ICE and detained all the time, so it’s really scary for survivors of domestic violence … to come forward right now,” said Jill Zawisza, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.womaninc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WOMAN Inc.\u003c/a>, an organization that serves domestic violence survivors in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the election, WOMAN Inc. has received about 10 percent more calls to its domestic violence hotline and seen an increase in therapy appointments from people who don’t want to involve law enforcement. As women shy away from reporting crimes, they turn to others for help. “There’s definitely something going on,” said Zawisza. “A lot of people who want to connect, people who want to talk to someone, people who don’t want to interface with the police department for a myriad of reasons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But service providers, like WOMAN Inc., are uncertain about how to advise their clients. “We basically tell them that anytime they call the police department to their home or into their situation, that they’re losing an element of control,” said Zawisza. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/14/defiant-san-francisco-vows-to-remain-sanctuary-city/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Given San Francisco’s sanctuary status\u003c/a>, she said undocumented immigrants have a better chance of safely interacting with law enforcement, but fear is still pervasive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t wholeheartedly assure people that they’re not going to get in trouble if they call the police department. It’s hard to know how to respond,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan Weibel, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tahirih.org/locations/san-francisco-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco Bay Area office of Tahirih Justice Center\u003c/a>, which specializes in legal services for immigrant women, said this is a pressing moral issue for advocates. “The current climate and situation, for me at least, has taken away my personal feeling that I could responsibly tell someone you have absolutely nothing to fear,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local police departments are also concerned about how this climate is affecting their relationships with immigrant communities, and they’re conducting outreach to maintain communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redwood City police Capt. John Spicer, who works closely with the immigrant community there, said his department has seen a noticeable dampening effect on victims’ and witnesses’ willingness to come forward, making it increasingly difficult for police to intervene. Such fear, he said, “means that crime is able to flourish a little more,” which impacts everyone’s safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This effect extends far beyond domestic and sexual violence survivors. “I don’t think it matters what the crime is. I think people will see law enforcement and the justice system as something that is now less accessible to them and potentially threatening to them, because they’re concerned that the federal government will somehow get that information and use it to deport them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early March, a man in Redwood City began shooting through the walls of his apartment and into neighbors’ homes in the middle of the night. Police came to the small, gray apartment complex, and began evacuating adjacent residences as the shooter’s gunshots blasted through walls, but one resident refused to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This person could hear gunshots and see officers in uniform, but was convinced that the entire situation was “a ruse being used by the federal government to get them out and take them into custody,” said Spicer. As an undocumented immigrant, “that person was in peril, because they really mistrusted any form of authority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Getting a Driver's License\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fear of interacting with authorities is also affecting immigrants who want to obtain driver’s licenses. In January 2015, California passed a law, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/ab60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AB 60\u003c/a>, allowing residents without Social Security numbers to get driver’s licenses. \u003ca href=\"https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/should-states-give-drivers-licenses-unauthorized-residents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A recent Stanford study\u003c/a> found that issuing licenses to undocumented immigrants decreased hit-and-run incidents and increased overall traffic safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, data provided from the DMV show a steady decrease in AB 60 licenses issued since the program went into effect, which the department attributes to an initial rush of applications when the program began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gina Gates, who runs free Spanish-language driver’s education workshops for immigrants applying for AB 60 licenses in San Jose, has noted increased fear and reluctance to apply for licenses since Trump’s campaign — which may also explain the decrease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the election, she stopped offering classes while reaching out to elected officials and the DMV to see how the program might be affected under Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510513\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11510513\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group of driver’s education students study at Gina Gates’ recent class in May, the first she’s held since the election. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Gina Gates)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gates said many immigrants are worried that, having given their addresses to the DMV to obtain licenses, ICE may find and arrest them.

In Alameda County, Assistant District Attorney Teresa Drenick has seen an uptick in immigrant families embroiled in habitual truancy cases. Rumors of ICE patrolling near schools in largely Hispanic neighborhoods inspired so much fear that parents kept their children home from school for extended periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Moms are worried that they’re going to drop their kids off in the morning and then get swept up by immigration authorities and not be there in the afternoon, so they’re scared to do it at all,” said Drenick in a May interview. Her priority was to work with families to keep children in class, rather than to prosecute truancy cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510512\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11510512\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nicole Knight references the Oakland Unified School District’s newly created Sanctuary District web page. \u003ccite>(Virginia Fay/Peninsula Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In response to deportation fears and anxiety in schools, Oakland’s Board of Education renewed \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/05/pre-inauguration-california-districts-declare-sanctuary-schools/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a resolution upholding the district as a sanctuary\u003c/a>.

In each case, school staff collected details about the time and place of arrest and where the family member was held and reached out to immigrant rights organizations and attorneys to obtain legal help.

Each school in the district has one mental health counselor, which Hernandez-Goff said is no longer enough to manage the mental health issues that have manifested this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ravenswood students recently completed yearly academic assessment tests. “Stress, and not having certain things in place in your everyday life, does affect your academic outcomes,” Hernandez-Goff said. “So I’m not really sure what to expect from the [test] results of this year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Medical Services Go Unused\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The negative effects of anxiety on immigrants’ mental health extends past children. “It’s really traumatic. [We see] individuals who are going into forms of depression, individuals who now feel that they’re unwanted in the country they may have lived in for decades,” said Greg Garrett, chief of policy at \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedahealthconsortium.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alameda Health Consortium\u003c/a>, a private, nonprofit group of health centers. “And this is causing trauma, which is actually resulting in severe mental health issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the consortium has seen an increase in immigrants seeking mental health services, they’ve experienced a drop-off in other patients, including immigrants with chronic illnesses. In one instance, a cancer patient was in remission until she recently started showing signs of cancer again. But after two sessions, she stopped showing up for treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caseworkers eventually were able to make contact with her, and discovered she had a friend who was recently deported. Her fear of being similarly identified and detained if she continued using health services caused her to stop treatment for several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have individuals putting their own lives at risk because of this fear,” said Garrett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen Clanon, medical director of the Health Care Services Agency of Alameda County, said that though they’ve heard of immigrants hesitating to enroll or continue enrollment in health services, at their organization they've been able to leverage their existing relationships to prevent that from happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clanon said they're worried, though, about people who don’t have trusting relationships with doctors and are now not receiving any medical care.

Suddenly, people were picking up the phone to unenroll from CalFresh benefits. Only legal residents are eligible for CalFresh. But even legal immigrants are feeling compelled to disconnect from government food assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A draft executive order leaked in January seeking to deport immigrants dependent on taxpayer help incited fear that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/03/28/deportation-fears-prompt-immigrants-to-cancel-food-stamps/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal immigrants would be deported for using social services\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That has concerned our immigrant population in terms of feeling safe about applying for CalFresh, because they don’t want that to be the reason they might be deported,” said Denise Boland, director of employment and benefits services at the Santa Clara County Social Services Agency. “So even legal immigrants are concerned now about CalFresh and don’t feel safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chandra Johnson, director of communications at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfhsa.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco Human Services Agency\u003c/a>, said they can’t know for sure why people decline services, but households with at least one noncitizen were particularly likely to unenroll. Many mixed-status families are especially prone to disengage from services due to fear of family members being deported, even if the person receiving benefits has legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the increase in mixed-status families unenrolling, and a slight decrease in applications from the same group, the San Francisco office has been reaching out to the community to ensure people know that policies have not changed, and anyone who was previously eligible for benefits still is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any time we think that families are turning away from nutrition benefits, or having to make some of those hard choices … in a city as expensive as San Francisco, in between housing or putting food on the table or [paying for] utilities or those sorts of things,” Johnson said, “it’s a concern to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510519\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11510519\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-1020x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Food is passed out at a Second Harvest Food Bank distribution site. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Second Harvest Food Bank)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.shfb.org/\">Second Harvest Food Bank\u003c/a>, which both distributes food through several programs independent of the government and helps people enroll in CalFresh at some of their facilities, has seen increased hesitancy in immigrants wanting to take government benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One family, of five legal refugees from Nepal living in Sunnyvale, came to the food pantry because they couldn't make ends meet. The family was paying $2,080 in monthly rent, but only bringing in a monthly income of $2,000. Second Harvest secured a translator and helped them fill out a CalFresh application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were ready to hit submit in completing the application, and then they decided they just didn’t want to put … their ability to stay here in jeopardy. And so they decided not to apply for CalFresh after all, which was kind of heartbreaking,” said Anna Dyer, Second Harvest’s director of client services. “It’s really tough to qualify for [CalFresh], because it’s only the lowest-income folks, so it means that they’re really, really struggling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Now?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"sc-dropcap\">I\u003c/span>ndependent and government agencies alike are struggling with how to counteract the fear of deportation that’s causing immigrants to retreat back into the shadows. Nonprofit service providers and local government branches from social services to police departments are partnering with immigration lawyers to orchestrate Know Your Rights events and educate the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond encouraging immigrants to continue engaging with the services they need, which, by and large, they are still entitled to under current policies, many service providers find themselves at a loss for how to inspire confidence. Uncertainty of what the future will bring is a major driving force in the collective anxiety felt by immigrants, and, to a lesser degree, by the service providers themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucy Barron lives in East Palo Alto and works in administration at Ravenswood Unified School District. Steep local housing prices have led her to live in a garage with her husband and five children. She and her family are especially conscious of being good neighbors so others in the area won’t have reason to seek their eviction by calling ICE, a threat she says many in her neighborhood grapple with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barron has legal status here, and volunteers with Ravenswood’s food services to help other immigrants, whether documented or not, get healthy food.

Others fear using medical services — clinics note that some patients with chronic illnesses have stopped showing up for treatment. Even legal immigrants are afraid.

According to the San Francisco Police Department, their unpublished data show a 14 percent decrease in reports of domestic violence by Hispanic women in the first three months of the year, compared to the same time period in the previous year. SFPD Sgt. Michael Andraychak said they couldn't attribute the drop to any particular reason, though they are aware of deportation concerns in the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to reassure the community that victims or witnesses of any crime can come forward and report those incidents to the police, without concerns of their immigration status being questioned,” said Andraychak in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many other local law enforcement agencies, immigration lawyers and shelters say it’s too early in the new presidential administration to release conclusive data. But, from Livermore to Sacramento, organizations report observations of increased fears causing immigrants to retreat from the services they need, and the preliminary data they do have echoes the anecdotal reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undocumented immigrants “are already so marginalized, and they’re getting nabbed by ICE and detained all the time, so it’s really scary for survivors of domestic violence … to come forward right now,” said Jill Zawisza, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.womaninc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WOMAN Inc.\u003c/a>, an organization that serves domestic violence survivors in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the election, WOMAN Inc. has received about 10 percent more calls to its domestic violence hotline and seen an increase in therapy appointments from people who don’t want to involve law enforcement. As women shy away from reporting crimes, they turn to others for help. “There’s definitely something going on,” said Zawisza. “A lot of people who want to connect, people who want to talk to someone, people who don’t want to interface with the police department for a myriad of reasons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But service providers, like WOMAN Inc., are uncertain about how to advise their clients. “We basically tell them that anytime they call the police department to their home or into their situation, that they’re losing an element of control,” said Zawisza. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/14/defiant-san-francisco-vows-to-remain-sanctuary-city/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Given San Francisco’s sanctuary status\u003c/a>, she said undocumented immigrants have a better chance of safely interacting with law enforcement, but fear is still pervasive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t wholeheartedly assure people that they’re not going to get in trouble if they call the police department. It’s hard to know how to respond,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan Weibel, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tahirih.org/locations/san-francisco-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco Bay Area office of Tahirih Justice Center\u003c/a>, which specializes in legal services for immigrant women, said this is a pressing moral issue for advocates. “The current climate and situation, for me at least, has taken away my personal feeling that I could responsibly tell someone you have absolutely nothing to fear,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local police departments are also concerned about how this climate is affecting their relationships with immigrant communities, and they’re conducting outreach to maintain communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redwood City police Capt. John Spicer, who works closely with the immigrant community there, said his department has seen a noticeable dampening effect on victims’ and witnesses’ willingness to come forward, making it increasingly difficult for police to intervene. Such fear, he said, “means that crime is able to flourish a little more,” which impacts everyone’s safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This effect extends far beyond domestic and sexual violence survivors. “I don’t think it matters what the crime is. I think people will see law enforcement and the justice system as something that is now less accessible to them and potentially threatening to them, because they’re concerned that the federal government will somehow get that information and use it to deport them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early March, a man in Redwood City began shooting through the walls of his apartment and into neighbors’ homes in the middle of the night. Police came to the small, gray apartment complex, and began evacuating adjacent residences as the shooter’s gunshots blasted through walls, but one resident refused to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This person could hear gunshots and see officers in uniform, but was convinced that the entire situation was “a ruse being used by the federal government to get them out and take them into custody,” said Spicer. As an undocumented immigrant, “that person was in peril, because they really mistrusted any form of authority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Getting a Driver's License\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fear of interacting with authorities is also affecting immigrants who want to obtain driver’s licenses.

In Alameda County, Assistant District Attorney Teresa Drenick has seen an uptick in immigrant families embroiled in habitual truancy cases.

Each school in the district has one mental health counselor, which Hernandez-Goff said is no longer enough to manage the mental health issues that have manifested this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ravenswood students recently completed yearly academic assessment tests. “Stress, and not having certain things in place in your everyday life, does affect your academic outcomes,” Hernandez-Goff said. “So I’m not really sure what to expect from the [test] results of this year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Medical Services Go Unused\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The negative effects of anxiety on immigrants’ mental health extends past children. “It’s really traumatic. [We see] individuals who are going into forms of depression, individuals who now feel that they’re unwanted in the country they may have lived in for decades,” said Greg Garrett, chief of policy at \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedahealthconsortium.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alameda Health Consortium\u003c/a>, a private, nonprofit group of health centers. “And this is causing trauma, which is actually resulting in severe mental health issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the consortium has seen an increase in immigrants seeking mental health services, they’ve experienced a drop-off in other patients, including immigrants with chronic illnesses. In one instance, a cancer patient was in remission until she recently started showing signs of cancer again. But after two sessions, she stopped showing up for treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caseworkers eventually were able to make contact with her, and discovered she had a friend who was recently deported. Her fear of being similarly identified and detained if she continued using health services caused her to stop treatment for several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have individuals putting their own lives at risk because of this fear,” said Garrett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen Clanon, medical director of the Health Care Services Agency of Alameda County, said that though they’ve heard of immigrants hesitating to enroll or continue enrollment in health services, at their organization they've been able to leverage their existing relationships to prevent that from happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clanon said they're worried, though, about people who don’t have trusting relationships with doctors and are now not receiving any medical care. Measuring that absence is difficult, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Even Legal Residents Unenroll From Benefits\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"sc-dropcap\">I\u003c/span>n the first few months of the year, the San Francisco Human Services Agency began receiving an unusual number of calls. Suddenly, people were picking up the phone to unenroll from CalFresh benefits. Only legal residents are eligible for CalFresh. But even legal immigrants are feeling compelled to disconnect from government food assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A draft executive order leaked in January seeking to deport immigrants dependent on taxpayer help incited fear that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/03/28/deportation-fears-prompt-immigrants-to-cancel-food-stamps/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal immigrants would be deported for using social services\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That has concerned our immigrant population in terms of feeling safe about applying for CalFresh, because they don’t want that to be the reason they might be deported,” said Denise Boland, director of employment and benefits services at the Santa Clara County Social Services Agency. “So even legal immigrants are concerned now about CalFresh and don’t feel safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chandra Johnson, director of communications at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfhsa.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco Human Services Agency\u003c/a>, said they can’t know for sure why people decline services, but households with at least one noncitizen were particularly likely to unenroll. Many mixed-status families are especially prone to disengage from services due to fear of family members being deported, even if the person receiving benefits has legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the increase in mixed-status families unenrolling, and a slight decrease in applications from the same group, the San Francisco office has been reaching out to the community to ensure people know that policies have not changed, and anyone who was previously eligible for benefits still is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any time we think that families are turning away from nutrition benefits, or having to make some of those hard choices … in a city as expensive as San Francisco, in between housing or putting food on the table or [paying for] utilities or those sorts of things,” Johnson said, “it’s a concern to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510519\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11510519\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-1020x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Food is passed out at a Second Harvest Food Bank distribution site. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Second Harvest Food Bank)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.shfb.org/\">Second Harvest Food Bank\u003c/a>, which both distributes food through several programs independent of the government and helps people enroll in CalFresh at some of their facilities, has seen increased hesitancy in immigrants wanting to take government benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One family, of five legal refugees from Nepal living in Sunnyvale, came to the food pantry because they couldn't make ends meet. The family was paying $2,080 in monthly rent, but only bringing in a monthly income of $2,000. Second Harvest secured a translator and helped them fill out a CalFresh application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were ready to hit submit in completing the application, and then they decided they just didn’t want to put … their ability to stay here in jeopardy. And so they decided not to apply for CalFresh after all, which was kind of heartbreaking,” said Anna Dyer, Second Harvest’s director of client services. “It’s really tough to qualify for [CalFresh], because it’s only the lowest-income folks, so it means that they’re really, really struggling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Now?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"sc-dropcap\">I\u003c/span>ndependent and government agencies alike are struggling with how to counteract the fear of deportation that’s causing immigrants to retreat back into the shadows. Nonprofit service providers and local government branches from social services to police departments are partnering with immigration lawyers to orchestrate Know Your Rights events and educate the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond encouraging immigrants to continue engaging with the services they need, which, by and large, they are still entitled to under current policies, many service providers find themselves at a loss for how to inspire confidence. Uncertainty of what the future will bring is a major driving force in the collective anxiety felt by immigrants, and, to a lesser degree, by the service providers themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucy Barron lives in East Palo Alto and works in administration at Ravenswood Unified School District. Steep local housing prices have led her to live in a garage with her husband and five children. She and her family are especially conscious of being good neighbors so others in the area won’t have reason to seek their eviction by calling ICE, a threat she says many in her neighborhood grapple with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barron has legal status here, and volunteers with Ravenswood’s food services to help other immigrants, whether documented or not, get healthy food.

He is working with a lawyer to try to obtain legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to be ready for anything,” said.

But many of them are now opting to make those same purchases in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like thousands of other Tijuana shoppers, Lizbeth Miranda used to do a lot of her wardrobe shopping in San Diego. But she said Trump’s comments about Mexicans have made her feel “uncomfortable” and she now wants to show off her Mexican pride by buying clothes at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, she bought several T-shirts emblazoned with Tijuana’s area code, 664, at a store called \"Tijuana: I Love 664.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like buying things here more, to support my country,” Miranda said. “I’m proud of being Mexican and want to support my country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWkLG5AwOfc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People in Mexico have been paying close attention to Trump’s comments about immigrants because many have families in the U.S. that could be affected by his policies. Many are offended by his descriptions of immigrants as “rapists” and “criminals,” and his claim that \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/beltway/2017/01/31/can-trump-make-mexico-pay-for-the-wall/&refURL=https://www.google.com/&referrer=https://www.google.com/\">Mexico will pay\u003c/a> for a $20 billion-plus border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The anger has triggered a newfound sense of \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/world/mexico-americas/la-fg-mexico-patriotism-trump-2017-story.html\">Mexican patriotism,\u003c/a> which has been beneficial for Tijuana retail, according to Tijuana's Chamber of Commerce. Rumors about tougher customs inspections are also scaring consumers away from San Diego, and instead boosting consumer spending in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think all of the publicity about Trump, about his wall, and all of that blah-blah-blah, I think lots of local (Tijuana) people have stopped buying American products and have stopped shopping in the U.S.,” said Felipe Acevedo, a Tijuana arts and crafts vendor who said he's seeing a boom in sales to Mexican customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11485984\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11485984\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-800x465.jpg\" alt=\"Ceramic mugs for sale at a shop in Tijuana.\" width=\"800\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-160x93.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-240x140.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-375x218.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-520x302.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ceramic mugs for sale at a shop in Tijuana. \u003ccite>(KATIE SCHOOLOV/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Acevedo said Tijuana residents are increasingly interested in ceramic mugs, sombreros and other products that are “made in Mexico.” His store is located on Avenida Revolución, which used to cater to San Diego tourists in quest of cheap margaritas and Mexican souvenirs. Now the street is crowded with residents from Mexico and offers merchandise geared toward locals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tijuana’s Chamber of Commerce launched a campaign in November to ride the new wave of Mexican pride: \u003ca href=\"http://www.canacotijuana.com/index.php/programa-yo-compro-en-tijuana\">“Yo Compro en Tijuana,”\u003c/a> or “I Shop In Tijuana.” It encourages businesses to do what they can to compete with San Diego businesses -- for example, allowing customers to return items that are broken or do not fit, a practice that is less common in Mexico than in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Trump) has awakened a sense of Mexican patriotism,” said Mario Escobedo Carignan, president of Tijuana’s Chamber of Commerce. “He says, ‘America first, then the rest of the world.’ So we’re doing the same.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFz_46qfrZU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Tijuana has seen the benefits of Trump’s comments about Mexico, San Diego businesses are taking a hit. The neighborhood of San Ysidro, which sits on the north side of the border, used to be a magnet for Tijuana shoppers. Not anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunil Gakhreja owns Sunny Perfumes in downtown San Ysidro. He said his business has seen a 50 percent decrease in sales since Trump was elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ninety-nine percent of our customers are Mexico-based. If they don’t cross, we don’t sell. And not just my store. All over San Ysidro,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On holidays, Sunny Perfumes used to become so crowded that Gakhreja had to hire extra help. But on Mother’s Day this year, he needed only one employee, and most of the time, the store was empty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are in trouble,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olivia Campos is the owner of Carolin Shoes next door. She said rumors tied to Trump’s stance on immigration are discouraging people from crossing the border into the U.S. because they fear interacting with customs officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re afraid they’ll take away their passports, their green cards, some people say they’re even checking cellphones,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos said sales in her store dropped 70 percent since November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business in San Ysidro was already struggling last year because of \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2015/aug/05/san-ysidro-sees-fewer-tijuana-consumers-mexicos-pe/\">a plummeting Mexican peso,\u003c/a> which was hurting the purchasing power of Tijuana consumers. The exchange rate has since stabilized, but retail stores are still having a hard time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason Wells, executive director of the San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce, said fear, uncertainty and anger tied to the Trump administration are now to blame for San Ysidro’s struggling economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said retail citywide has dropped 30 to 50 percent in the past year, with non-brand clothing stores seeing the greatest decrease of 65 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of this has been the national rhetoric,” he said. “And yes, there is a fear, and it’s palpable, you can feel it in the street.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells said San Ysidro is trying to devise new strategies to recover lost business -- perhaps diversifying products and services, or offering discounts. But for now, Mexico continues to reap the profits that once belonged to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get asked about the wall all the time. And I said, 'You know what, a future physical wall isn’t a problem. It’s the current psychological wall that this White House has already built,' ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Many are offended by his descriptions of immigrants as “rapists” and “criminals,” and his claim that \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/beltway/2017/01/31/can-trump-make-mexico-pay-for-the-wall/&refURL=https://www.google.com/&referrer=https://www.google.com/\">Mexico will pay\u003c/a> for a $20 billion-plus border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The anger has triggered a newfound sense of \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/world/mexico-americas/la-fg-mexico-patriotism-trump-2017-story.html\">Mexican patriotism,\u003c/a> which has been beneficial for Tijuana retail, according to Tijuana's Chamber of Commerce. Rumors about tougher customs inspections are also scaring consumers away from San Diego, and instead boosting consumer spending in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think all of the publicity about Trump, about his wall, and all of that blah-blah-blah, I think lots of local (Tijuana) people have stopped buying American products and have stopped shopping in the U.S.,” said Felipe Acevedo, a Tijuana arts and crafts vendor who said he's seeing a boom in sales to Mexican customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11485984\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11485984\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-800x465.jpg\" alt=\"Ceramic mugs for sale at a shop in Tijuana.\" width=\"800\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-160x93.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-240x140.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-375x218.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/TJMugs-520x302.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ceramic mugs for sale at a shop in Tijuana. \u003ccite>(KATIE SCHOOLOV/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Acevedo said Tijuana residents are increasingly interested in ceramic mugs, sombreros and other products that are “made in Mexico.” His store is located on Avenida Revolución, which used to cater to San Diego tourists in quest of cheap margaritas and Mexican souvenirs. Now the street is crowded with residents from Mexico and offers merchandise geared toward locals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tijuana’s Chamber of Commerce launched a campaign in November to ride the new wave of Mexican pride: \u003ca href=\"http://www.canacotijuana.com/index.php/programa-yo-compro-en-tijuana\">“Yo Compro en Tijuana,”\u003c/a> or “I Shop In Tijuana.” It encourages businesses to do what they can to compete with San Diego businesses -- for example, allowing customers to return items that are broken or do not fit, a practice that is less common in Mexico than in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Trump) has awakened a sense of Mexican patriotism,” said Mario Escobedo Carignan, president of Tijuana’s Chamber of Commerce. “He says, ‘America first, then the rest of the world.’ So we’re doing the same.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/FFz_46qfrZU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/FFz_46qfrZU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>While Tijuana has seen the benefits of Trump’s comments about Mexico, San Diego businesses are taking a hit. The neighborhood of San Ysidro, which sits on the north side of the border, used to be a magnet for Tijuana shoppers. Not anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunil Gakhreja owns Sunny Perfumes in downtown San Ysidro. He said his business has seen a 50 percent decrease in sales since Trump was elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ninety-nine percent of our customers are Mexico-based. If they don’t cross, we don’t sell. And not just my store. All over San Ysidro,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On holidays, Sunny Perfumes used to become so crowded that Gakhreja had to hire extra help. But on Mother’s Day this year, he needed only one employee, and most of the time, the store was empty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are in trouble,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olivia Campos is the owner of Carolin Shoes next door. She said rumors tied to Trump’s stance on immigration are discouraging people from crossing the border into the U.S. because they fear interacting with customs officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re afraid they’ll take away their passports, their green cards, some people say they’re even checking cellphones,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos said sales in her store dropped 70 percent since November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business in San Ysidro was already struggling last year because of \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2015/aug/05/san-ysidro-sees-fewer-tijuana-consumers-mexicos-pe/\">a plummeting Mexican peso,\u003c/a> which was hurting the purchasing power of Tijuana consumers. The exchange rate has since stabilized, but retail stores are still having a hard time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason Wells, executive director of the San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce, said fear, uncertainty and anger tied to the Trump administration are now to blame for San Ysidro’s struggling economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said retail citywide has dropped 30 to 50 percent in the past year, with non-brand clothing stores seeing the greatest decrease of 65 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of this has been the national rhetoric,” he said. “And yes, there is a fear, and it’s palpable, you can feel it in the street.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells said San Ysidro is trying to devise new strategies to recover lost business -- perhaps diversifying products and services, or offering discounts. But for now, Mexico continues to reap the profits that once belonged to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get asked about the wall all the time. And I said, 'You know what, a future physical wall isn’t a problem. It’s the current psychological wall that this White House has already built,' ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
