"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

But this year, the uncertainty surrounding federal health care funding has added to the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other potential points of conflict with lawmakers and interest groups include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Whether the governor digs in on his interpretation of Proposition 56, a $2-a-pack tax on cigarettes passed by voters last year. In January, Brown proposed using the bulk of the $1.8 billion in increased funds to pay for normal cost increases to the state's Medi-Cal program; proponents of Proposition 56 think the money should be used to expand Medi-Cal services.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What happens with the state's cap-and-trade program in the coming months, a key component of the state's plans to reduce carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The governor reiterated Thursday that about half the funds from cap and trade go to mitigate the impact of pollution on low-income communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutional deadline for passing the budget is June 15, but with the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_54,_Public_Display_of_Legislative_Bills_Prior_to_Vote_(2016)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 54 \u003c/a>it will have to be in print 72 hours before legislators vote on it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He proposed pausing some planned spending increases to education, eliminating a $400 million fund for affordable housing and halting $300 million in planned spending to modernize state office buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Controversially, he also proposed halting new enrollment in a higher education scholarship fund that was championed by the Assembly several years ago. The revised budget does not restore that funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing, child care and higher education spending are among the issues some Democratic lawmakers have cited as priorities recently.

But this year, the uncertainty surrounding federal health care funding has added to the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other potential points of conflict with lawmakers and interest groups include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Whether the governor digs in on his interpretation of Proposition 56, a $2-a-pack tax on cigarettes passed by voters last year. In January, Brown proposed using the bulk of the $1.8 billion in increased funds to pay for normal cost increases to the state's Medi-Cal program; proponents of Proposition 56 think the money should be used to expand Medi-Cal services.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What happens with the state's cap-and-trade program in the coming months, a key component of the state's plans to reduce carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The governor reiterated Thursday that about half the funds from cap and trade go to mitigate the impact of pollution on low-income communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutional deadline for passing the budget is June 15, but with the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_54,_Public_Display_of_Legislative_Bills_Prior_to_Vote_(2016)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 54 \u003c/a>it will have to be in print 72 hours before legislators vote on it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Instead, it became a ... gatekeeping nation,\" Erika Lee, a professor at the University of Minnesota, wrote in her book \u003ca href=\"https://muse.jhu.edu/article/180457\">\u003cem>At America's Gates: Chinese Immigration During The Exclusion Era, 1882-1943\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \"In the process, the very definition of what it meant to be an 'American' became even more exclusionary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese exclusion law was the very first time in American history that immigrants were barred because of their race and class. In 1882, when Congress passed the law, there were 39,600 men and women from China who arrived in the U.S. Just three years later, there were only 22, according to early records that Lee came across in her research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1876 presidential race between Rutherford Hayes and Samuel Tilden was a major turning point in the country's stance on immigration. Leading up to the election, the race was so close and electoral votes were so coveted, it brought California's ongoing fight to push out Chinese immigrants to the national stage, Lee said. Many Californians worried that Chinese laborers would take their jobs, and that they were sexually lecherous threats to society.[contextly_sidebar id=\"hyKCyWOTBmuma3vComRqYDKa03FprCZc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said that anti-immigrant measures in the 1880s — and today — were driven by both working-class people and elites, as well as those who had a \"vested economic interest in border walls and detention centers.\" The Chinese Exclusion Act set the groundwork for immigrant detention centers and the country's first large-scale deportation of a single immigrant group. Specifically, the exclusion era brought an expansion of the federal government in terms of hiring more immigrant inspectors, whose responsibilities included working as interpreters and at the detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for today's parallel? Lee points to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-border-wall-20170323-story.html\">companies that are vying to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall\u003c/a>, and the question of whether there will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/04/508048666/will-the-private-prison-business-see-a-trump-bump\">more privately owned immigrant detention centers\u003c/a> under President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee says that today's equivalent is the proposed \"Muslim ban,\" because it singles out specific groups of people for discrimination. \"The fact that we don't explicitly name Muslims [in the executive order] is more of a reflection of how our racial sensibilities have changed over the past 135 years, in terms of being more polite in our racism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Lee says, like the proposed ban — which Trump says will be in place until vetting procedures are strengthened — the Chinese Exclusion Act was also originally proposed as a temporary law. The exclusion act was meant to be law for a decade but lasted 61 years. It was repealed in 1943 with the Magnuson Act, when the U.S. wanted to foster an alliance with China in the war against Japan. In 2012, Congress \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?c3342595/apologizing-chinese-exclusion-act-1882\">passed a resolution formally expressing regret\u003c/a> to Chinese-Americans for the exclusion law and other discriminatory measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while there are many links between the exclusion era and today, there are also important differences. Trump's immigration orders have created \"one of the most divisive eras around immigration\" in history, Lee told NPR. And his policies have had wide-reaching consequences for immigrants that have been met with protests across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cannot think of another time or a set of laws that has the promise to transform immigration so dramatically at every level,\" Lee said. Trump's policies have included banning refugees, increasing border security and interior enforcement, expanding deportation and expedited removal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/us/politics/executive-order-hire-buy-american-h1b-visa-trump.html\">reforming the H1-B visa program\u003c/a> and attempting to enact a travel ban. Still, Lee said, what's different is the nationwide grass-roots efforts and legal challenges that have sprung up against Trump's immigration policies. \"There were no protests in support of Chinese immigrants [during the exclusion era in the U.S.],\" Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear if some immigrants today draw a link between the historical exclusions and Trump's various immigration restrictions, according to Janelle Wong, the director of the Asian-American studies program at the University of Maryland, College Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the one hand, more than 60 percent of Asian-American registered voters oppose a 'Muslim Ban.' This is pretty consistent across groups,\" Wong wrote in an email, citing her work on the \u003ca href=\"http://naasurvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/NAAS16-Fall-Oct5-slides.pdf\">National Asian American Survey\u003c/a>. \"On the other hand, the survey also shows that about 20 percent of Chinese Americans, and Asian-American registered voters as a whole, support such a ban. This, despite the fact that Chinese were the first in U.S. history to be excluded according to these kinds of ascriptive characteristics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choi, the rally organizer, said she feels that while the Chinese-Americans who support the ban are a minority, \"they're a vocal one.\" Choi said that many of the rally's speeches will be translated into Cantonese and Mandarin, which she hopes will draw in people who might speak only Chinese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1885, a student named Saum Song Bo wrote a scathing open letter in a New York newspaper. He was struck by the irony that the U.S. was erecting the Statue Of Liberty three years after passing the Chinese Exclusion Act:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"That statue represents Liberty holding a torch which lights the passage of those of all nations who come into this country. But are the Chinese allowed to come? As for the Chinese who are here, are they allowed to enjoy liberty as men of all other nationalities enjoy it? Are they allowed to go about everywhere free from the insults, abuse, assaults, wrongs and injuries from which men of other nationalities are free?\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liberty, for Bo and many other immigrants in that era, felt out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Many Californians worried that Chinese laborers would take their jobs, and that they were sexually lecherous threats to society.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said that anti-immigrant measures in the 1880s — and today — were driven by both working-class people and elites, as well as those who had a \"vested economic interest in border walls and detention centers.\" The Chinese Exclusion Act set the groundwork for immigrant detention centers and the country's first large-scale deportation of a single immigrant group. Specifically, the exclusion era brought an expansion of the federal government in terms of hiring more immigrant inspectors, whose responsibilities included working as interpreters and at the detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for today's parallel? Lee points to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-border-wall-20170323-story.html\">companies that are vying to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall\u003c/a>, and the question of whether there will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/04/508048666/will-the-private-prison-business-see-a-trump-bump\">more privately owned immigrant detention centers\u003c/a> under President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee says that today's equivalent is the proposed \"Muslim ban,\" because it singles out specific groups of people for discrimination. \"The fact that we don't explicitly name Muslims [in the executive order] is more of a reflection of how our racial sensibilities have changed over the past 135 years, in terms of being more polite in our racism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Lee says, like the proposed ban — which Trump says will be in place until vetting procedures are strengthened — the Chinese Exclusion Act was also originally proposed as a temporary law. The exclusion act was meant to be law for a decade but lasted 61 years. It was repealed in 1943 with the Magnuson Act, when the U.S. wanted to foster an alliance with China in the war against Japan. In 2012, Congress \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?c3342595/apologizing-chinese-exclusion-act-1882\">passed a resolution formally expressing regret\u003c/a> to Chinese-Americans for the exclusion law and other discriminatory measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while there are many links between the exclusion era and today, there are also important differences. Trump's immigration orders have created \"one of the most divisive eras around immigration\" in history, Lee told NPR. And his policies have had wide-reaching consequences for immigrants that have been met with protests across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cannot think of another time or a set of laws that has the promise to transform immigration so dramatically at every level,\" Lee said. Trump's policies have included banning refugees, increasing border security and interior enforcement, expanding deportation and expedited removal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/us/politics/executive-order-hire-buy-american-h1b-visa-trump.html\">reforming the H1-B visa program\u003c/a> and attempting to enact a travel ban. Still, Lee said, what's different is the nationwide grass-roots efforts and legal challenges that have sprung up against Trump's immigration policies. \"There were no protests in support of Chinese immigrants [during the exclusion era in the U.S.],\" Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear if some immigrants today draw a link between the historical exclusions and Trump's various immigration restrictions, according to Janelle Wong, the director of the Asian-American studies program at the University of Maryland, College Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the one hand, more than 60 percent of Asian-American registered voters oppose a 'Muslim Ban.' This is pretty consistent across groups,\" Wong wrote in an email, citing her work on the \u003ca href=\"http://naasurvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/NAAS16-Fall-Oct5-slides.pdf\">National Asian American Survey\u003c/a>. \"On the other hand, the survey also shows that about 20 percent of Chinese Americans, and Asian-American registered voters as a whole, support such a ban. This, despite the fact that Chinese were the first in U.S. history to be excluded according to these kinds of ascriptive characteristics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choi, the rally organizer, said she feels that while the Chinese-Americans who support the ban are a minority, \"they're a vocal one.\" Choi said that many of the rally's speeches will be translated into Cantonese and Mandarin, which she hopes will draw in people who might speak only Chinese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1885, a student named Saum Song Bo wrote a scathing open letter in a New York newspaper. He was struck by the irony that the U.S. was erecting the Statue Of Liberty three years after passing the Chinese Exclusion Act:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"That statue represents Liberty holding a torch which lights the passage of those of all nations who come into this country. But are the Chinese allowed to come? As for the Chinese who are here, are they allowed to enjoy liberty as men of all other nationalities enjoy it? Are they allowed to go about everywhere free from the insults, abuse, assaults, wrongs and injuries from which men of other nationalities are free?\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
