The contractor there initially brought in a transition team to understand how the university’s IT systems work — some of the workers were on H-1B visas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nothing has happened that would deter companies from taking this action,” said Daniel Costa, director of immigration law and policy research at the Economic Policy Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costa said there have been attempts to reform the H-1B visa program. The Department of Labor and Department of Justice investigated Southern California Edison for the use of H-1B visas, but \u003ca href=\"http://www.computerworld.com/article/3035145/it-careers/doj-ends-probe-of-utility-over-it-replacements-no-charges-filed.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neither found wrongdoing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costa says those findings are disputable, adding that they encourage companies to outsource with the H-1B.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about the bottom line,” Costa said, “and if companies can do it, they will do it. If the legal framework continues to allow it, then it will continue to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been a lot of anger about this kind of job loss. It’s a theme that President Trump has tapped into, and he’s signaled he plans to change the H-1B in some way. Members of Congress from both sides have introduced reform bills. Meanwhile, the IT industry and workers are anxiously waiting to see what will happen.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Many of these immigrants ride BART every day,\" Josefowitz said during Thursday's meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When local law enforcement focuses on keeping communities safe, rather than becoming entangled in federal immigration enforcement efforts, communities are safer and community members stay more engaged in the local economy,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move would amend two sections of BART's police code: one on when \"foreign nationals\" are arrested or detained, and another section on immigration violations. There are currently regulations that limit cooperation with federal authorities on immigration cases (these are Sections 422 and 428 of the department's \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/sites/default/files/docs/LEXIPOL%20POLICY%20JANUARY%202017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">policy manual\u003c/a>). This proposal would strengthen those rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their proposal comes days after an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/06/trump-california-out-of-control-and-defunding-could-be-in-store/\" target=\"_blank\">interview President Trump did with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly\u003c/a> where he reiterated his desire to punish the state of California and local governments that aim to restrict their local law enforcement from enforcing federal immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's ridiculous, sanctuary cities. As you know I'm very much opposed to sanctuary cities. They breed crime,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's lots of problems. If we have to, we'll defund. We give tremendous amounts to California. California in many ways is out of control, as you know. Obviously, the voters agree. Otherwise they wouldn't have voted for me,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART received more than $99 million in federal funds for the 2016 fiscal year, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's assertion that sanctuary jurisdictions breed crime is contrary to at least one study. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/reports/2017/01/26/297366/the-effects-of-sanctuary-policies-on-crime-and-the-economy/\" target=\"_blank\">research \u003c/a>by a professor at UC San Diego, crime is significantly lower in counties that do not cooperate with federal law enforcement, compared with those that do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BART Police Department does not have any records of their officers reporting anyone to federal immigration authorities in the past six years, according to agency spokeswoman Alicia Trost.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

All of the bombing was right over my house. The electricity went out, and there was no place safe since my whole house is windows. I was scared. We all slept in a small hallway between the rooms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family of six spent the last night in their home on a foam mattress in the dark, crying, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next morning, they fled their home of eight years.

Kasedah felt this was critical to the safety of her children, especially her teenage daughters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the mother describes this period of waiting as one of the hardest times the family faced. As refugees, it was hard to find work. Every time the kids went back to school, it was unclear if they’d finish the term.

Kasedah says the family even developed a routine around the interviews, since they were so frequent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew that if I had an interview that day, I was leaving at eight. I would not be home until the evening. So I would pack sandwiches for the kids,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family was interviewed together and separately.

When his eldest daughter told him that she saw recruiters for the U.S. military at her college campus, Rawoas told her he wanted to join. At the time, he didn’t yet have his green card, which disqualified him from joining. When he got a green card, he went back to the recruiter. This time, he was turned down for age.

All of the bombing was right over my house. The electricity went out, and there was no place safe since my whole house is windows. I was scared. We all slept in a small hallway between the rooms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family of six spent the last night in their home on a foam mattress in the dark, crying, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next morning, they fled their home of eight years.

Luckily, they rented a house in Jordan, rather than living in the challenging circumstances of a refugee camp. Kasedah felt this was critical to the safety of her children, especially her teenage daughters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the mother describes this period of waiting as one of the hardest times the family faced. As refugees, it was hard to find work. Every time the kids went back to school, it was unclear if they’d finish the term. Rawoas and Kasedah worried that any misstep could send them all back to Syria.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We’ve come to America, and we’ve lived in America, and eaten its food and seen its people.

They said, ‘We still don’t know.’ We were happy, because we just wanted a way out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their way out was to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family’s waiting period was punctuated by daylong interviews with a variety of government officials every two-three months. Kasedah says the family even developed a routine around the interviews, since they were so frequent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew that if I had an interview that day, I was leaving at eight. I would not be home until the evening. So I would pack sandwiches for the kids,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family was interviewed together and separately.

Rawoas works as a bus driver for kids with disabilities, and for the ride-hailing company Uber. Kasedah hopes to launch Syrian cooking classes and eventually open a Syrian restaurant. The older children, both daughters go to college, one working as a dental assistant and the other as a barista. One volunteers with newly arrived refugees. The two younger children study and play sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Desire to Give Back\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rawoas feels gratitude for his new home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve come to America, and we’ve lived in America, and eaten its food and seen its people,” he says. “We don’t consider ourselves guests or refugees. I feel [America’s] my country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rawoas feels this so strongly that he’d fight for the United States. When his eldest daughter told him that she saw recruiters for the U.S. military at her college campus, Rawoas told her he wanted to join. At the time, he didn’t yet have his green card, which disqualified him from joining. When he got a green card, he went back to the recruiter. This time, he was turned down for age. He’s almost 50 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s still thinking about other ways to serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would make me really happy to work for the government or join the police because I really feel like I want to serve this country since we’ve gotten so much,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rawoas family came here when President Obama was in office, but now that President Trump is \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/31/512439121/trumps-executive-order-on-immigration-annotated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">restricting refugees from coming in\u003c/a>, they feel just a little less welcome. And they empathize with others in the position in which they once were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where are people supposed to go?” Rawoas asks. “They will either stay inside [Syria] and die, or they will try to get out and flee. If they don’t die inside, they’ll die at sea.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were joyful that doors opened for us,” he says. “But now, for many people, life has become dark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those people is Kasedah’s brother.

"content": "\u003cp>\"You don't look like you're from around here,\" a young Adolphus Busch is told as he arrives in America from Germany to pursue his dream of making beer. So begins Budweiser's new Super Bowl ad, released earlier this week into an ongoing political maelstrom over immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ad depicts the company's founder trudging through swamps and mud, surviving a steamboat fire and being greeted with outright hostility before getting to St. Louis and meeting Eberhard Anheuser — i.e., the Anheuser in Anheuser-Busch. Despite the beer giant's protestations that the ad is not political, it has hit a nerve among conservatives for taking a seemingly pro-immigrant stance at a time of widespread protests against President Trump's ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lost in all the brouhaha is the true story of the 19th-century German immigrants behind the rise of American brewing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, let's start with a little historical nitpicking with that ad. Historian Maureen Ogle, author of \u003cem>Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer,\u003c/em> says that when Busch arrived in St. Louis, Mo., he didn't just run into Eberhard Anheuser — he married his daughter and took over the small brewery that Anheuser, a prosperous soap-maker, had acquired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, neither Anheuser nor Busch was the source of the original Budweiser. Ogle says the Bud brand was started by one of Busch's friends, Carl Conrad. Busch eventually bought Budweiser from Conrad — but that happened in the 1880s, long after he'd already become a successful brewer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's one thing in the Budweiser ad that rings true to history: the anti-German immigrant hostility that Busch is depicted enduring on the streets. \"Go back home!\" a man tells him angrily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we don't know if Busch himself ever walked through such hostile crowds, Ogle says the 1850s were certainly an era marked by \"xenophobic turmoil.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Busch was part of a large wave of German immigrants, including Frederick Miller and Frederick Pabst, who helped build American brewing in the mid-1800s. The still-new nation was in the middle of a great debate over what it meant to be an American. And it was seeing a huge influx of immigrants — not just from Germany, but Ireland, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Both the Irish and Germans came from cultures where alcohol was a respectable habit,\" says Ogle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many native-born Americans were worried about how all those newcomers, and their customs, would affect national identity, Ogle says. That's partly what gave rise to the temperance movement. It wasn't just about condemning alcohol, it was about defining the moral character of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a serious culture clash,\" Ogle says. \"And it did fuel a really strong prohibition movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Germans who came over set up beer halls in towns with large German enclaves, like St. Louis, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Americans thought of it as disreputable — only low-class people drank,\" Ogle says. \"If you went into a tavern, you were going into the seventh circle of hell.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the 1840s and '50s, when America was still debating the great question of slavery, and whether to legalize it outside the South. Ogle says many working-class whites in the North who organized against the expansion of slavery did so, in part, out of fear that they'd be competing for low-skill jobs. These working-class whites were anti-immigrant for the same reasons, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were pitched battles in the streets where people were saying, 'You don't belong here. Go home. We don't want any more immigrants, ' \" Ogle says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican Party was born in Wisconsin in this climate, she says, to combat the expansion of slavery into the western territories, but also as a way for German immigrants to stand up for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Milwaukee [the Republican Party] was made up of German immigrants who were determined to protect immigrant rights and who wanted to end slavery,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Busch, he became an American citizen and was extremely proud of it, Ogle says. He died before the start of World War I — when anti-German sentiment became rampant in the U.S. His wife, Lilly Anheuser Busch, suffered a terrible indignity. Suspected of being a German spy, she was forced to undergo a full-body exam — body cavities included — by order of the attorney general on her way back from visiting relatives in Germany. And his family was denounced in newspapers as un-American, their loyalties to the nation openly questioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One other thing to note: Many of those German immigrants of the mid-19th century were essentially refugees. They were fleeing constant warfare in Europe and came to America in search of stability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while Budweiser's ad represents a glowing representation of the American Dream, the truth is more complicated and, in fact, reflects a history of immigration that reverberates today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now a little history is valuable for just about everything,\" Ogle says.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nCopyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",
