"content": "\u003cp>In confirmation hearings taking place simultaneously on opposite coasts of the country, nominees for the top law enforcement posts in the nation and California laid out strikingly different positions on immigration policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, took questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington. The senators spent hours asking their colleague about his thoughts on issues including torture, criminal sentencing and Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. In a number of exchanges, Sessions made clear his position on immigration policy, specifically his opposition to President Obama's executive orders protecting undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do believe that if you continually go through a cycle of amnesty that you undermine the respect for the law and encourage more illegal immigration into America,\" Sessions said. \"I believe the American people spoke clearly in this election. I believe they agree with my basic view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after Sessions sat down to begin his marathon confirmation hearing, the man tasked with potentially defending more than a quarter of the nation's undocumented immigrants from federal action began his questioning from the California Assembly Committee on the Office of Attorney General. In a cramped room with far fewer cameras than the proceedings in D.C., Rep. Xavier Becerra, Gov. Jerry Brown's nominee for California's top cop, laid out his vision for the office during a Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003cbr>\nhttps://twitter.com/AssemblyDems/status/818871018563321856\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The headwinds from outside of California could threaten the basic rights of so many families, like the one I grew up in,\" said Becerra, the son of two immigrants who represents Los Angeles in the House of Representatives. \"California must continue to be a forward-leaning state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Sessions, Becerra had the advantage of being skewered on a familiar grill; the Democrat served a single term in the state Assembly before heading to Congress. But while Becerra's \"grilling\" was friendlier and neatly wrapped up before \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/10/governor-jerry-brown-says-state-should-plan-for-rainy-budget-days/\">Gov.

Jeff Sessions (R-AL), President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, took questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington. The senators spent hours asking their colleague about his thoughts on issues including torture, criminal sentencing and Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. In a number of exchanges, Sessions made clear his position on immigration policy, specifically his opposition to President Obama's executive orders protecting undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do believe that if you continually go through a cycle of amnesty that you undermine the respect for the law and encourage more illegal immigration into America,\" Sessions said. \"I believe the American people spoke clearly in this election. I believe they agree with my basic view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after Sessions sat down to begin his marathon confirmation hearing, the man tasked with potentially defending more than a quarter of the nation's undocumented immigrants from federal action began his questioning from the California Assembly Committee on the Office of Attorney General. In a cramped room with far fewer cameras than the proceedings in D.C., Rep. Xavier Becerra, Gov. Jerry Brown's nominee for California's top cop, laid out his vision for the office during a Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003cbr>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And, the governor said he will keep spending flat by pausing rate increases for child care and not allowing any new students to qualify for a higher education scholarship fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor said he will protect what he called the Capitol's \"most important achievements\" under his watch -- education spending increases, an earned income tax credit for the working poor, a rising minimum wage and adding millions of Californians to the rolls of the insured. And he said he will again propose a transportation package that would add $43 billion over 10 years to help shore up roads, highways and bridges. It would be funded through new vehicle fees, an increase in the gas tax and an increase to the diesel excise tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"caCOvJvHD34SXS0CpFdcpXq2usWDsb9a\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change -- one of Brown's signature issues -- the governor said he wants lawmakers to take up the state's cap-and-trade system and approve it by a two-thirds vote. The program has been in court after legal challenges that in part center around the fact that a majority, not a supermajority, of the Legislature authorized the program. Brown said that uncertainty is impacting its financial success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very important program that's part of our climate change strategy,\" he said, noting that with people hostile to climate change policies taking over the federal government, \"the whole world is looking to us. ... We ought to continue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is making no assumptions about what Congress and President-elect Trump will do -- particularly around health care -- but that he's not budgeting based on things that haven't yet occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are too many uncertainties that could put a massive hole in the budget,\" he said. \"This budget can move very quickly -- what I call riding the tide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"tRtfzyVVZJm5TboxPPr0Smmh0UnOeqLB\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could go the other way, he said -- revenues could increase in coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's financial volatility, Brown said, is largely because of what the governor called the state's \"progressive\" tax structure that relies on capital gains taxes from its wealthiest residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California has the most progressive tax system in the U.S. -- but as a a corollary, we have one of the most unreliable revenue systems in the country and to manage it reliably requires prudence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said that's why he's pushed the state to save money in good years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want a progressive tax system, you need a big rainy day fund,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans had a mixed reaction to Brown's budget proposal.

And, the governor said he will keep spending flat by pausing rate increases for child care and not allowing any new students to qualify for a higher education scholarship fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor said he will protect what he called the Capitol's \"most important achievements\" under his watch -- education spending increases, an earned income tax credit for the working poor, a rising minimum wage and adding millions of Californians to the rolls of the insured. And he said he will again propose a transportation package that would add $43 billion over 10 years to help shore up roads, highways and bridges. It would be funded through new vehicle fees, an increase in the gas tax and an increase to the diesel excise tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change -- one of Brown's signature issues -- the governor said he wants lawmakers to take up the state's cap-and-trade system and approve it by a two-thirds vote. The program has been in court after legal challenges that in part center around the fact that a majority, not a supermajority, of the Legislature authorized the program. Brown said that uncertainty is impacting its financial success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very important program that's part of our climate change strategy,\" he said, noting that with people hostile to climate change policies taking over the federal government, \"the whole world is looking to us. ...

And use has gone up steadily over the past five years as fewer workers enter the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But every farmer I talked to complained about it, calling it cumbersome and expensive. Some experts speculate a Trump administration might strip away worker protections and create a program that's more favorable to employers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barcellos says Trump assured him people who have been working in the United States for years will have a chance to get temporary visas, too. But he says, \"Citizenship ... that’s a different animal and let’s not mix up the two.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A path to citizenship doesn’t seem likely under Trump.

He doesn’t like the idea of visas. He’s been in the United States 17 years. His family is here. \"What would happen if Trump starts giving visas to people over there?\" he asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elfego worries legal guest workers from Mexico would replace him. “What happens with those of us who are here? He’ll deport us because we’re illegal,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some worry the future under President Trump could bring more immigration raids, less enforcement of farmworker protection laws or the forced use of \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/e-verify\" target=\"_blank\">E-Verify\u003c/a>, a government tool for checking employment eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the only thing certain is that the Central Valley’s $35 billion agricultural economy depends on policies that balance the needs of both growers and workers.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But, Ghag says, his turban has opened doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me a whole lot because I’m a source of attraction wherever I go,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I approached Ghag every way I could with questions about isolation and discrimination, but he insisted: “In this community I haven’t felt that someone discriminated [against] me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghag dove into civic life here, starting a Punjabi writers group, serving on the hospital board and the Peach Advisory Board, even being a California delegate for the Democratic Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re in a society and society’s got an investment in you, if you don’t turn it back the society will go bankrupt,” Ghag said. “So it’s our duty to serve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connecting with neighbors is a big reason the Sikh community started the public Guru Gadee celebration 37 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s more recognition that we are a community living here,” Ghag said, “and since then it’s bigger and bigger every year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it’s an opportunity for Sikhs to celebrate their own holiday and bring others in, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiafoodways.com/\">California Foodways\u003c/a> is supported, in part, by \u003ca href=\"http://www.calhum.org/\">California Humanities\u003c/a>.
