"bio": "Alice Daniel loves the listening aspect of reporting because she gets to briefly walk in other people’s shoes. She has rappelled down into caves and gone up in helicopters for KQED’s The California Report but her favorite place to pursue a story is the High Sierra or any family-run bakery, of course. Alice has a masters in journalism from Columbia University and teaches at Fresno State. She is a California Healthline Regional Correspondent and a frequent contributor to Success magazine. In her free time, she skis and hikes, throws pottery, practices piano and looks out the window.",

I can work,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone is thrilled about the prospect of unauthorized immigrants working legally in this country. Already, such immigrants represent \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/11/19/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/\">an estimated 5.1 percent of the U.S. workforce\u003c/a>, about 8.1 million people, according to the Pew Research Center. Those who favor stricter immigration rules are critical of the immigrant-friendly laws that California has enacted in recent years, arguing the state has overstepped its bounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What are you going to expect when immigration has completely changed the political nature of the state, other than kind of the nullification of federal immigration law?\" said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that favors tighter immigration rules. \"This really isn’t that different from what South Carolina did before the Civil War. They were essentially trying to negate federal law, because they didn’t like it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Thank God, I have not needed a Social Security number or a work permit, because we can make our own dream, as owners and proprietors of a business.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>There are other ways immigrants without work permits can earn income legally, not only in California but in other states as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olga Cordero and her husband could have qualified for work permits under Obama’s now-frozen immigration plan, but they don’t really need them for the work they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thank God, I have not needed a Social Security number or a work permit, because we can make our own dream, as owners and proprietors of a business,” Cordero said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband own a small jewelry store in North Hollywood. So long as they pay taxes, they are legally self-employed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cordero arrived in the country in the late 1980s and couldn’t find jobs that paid well. She worked as a babysitter and in restaurants -- and saved every penny for the capital to start their business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you want something, you have to sacrifice something. Going out, vacations, luxury purchases in big stores, unnecessary purchases. That was our sacrifice,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple has done pretty well. They now own a spacious home, and a condo that they rent out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other unauthorized immigrants are struggling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Martinez, a day laborer from El Salvador, came to the U.S. 10 years ago when he was 40. He said he would happily start a business as a contractor, but he thinks it’s an impossible goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It would be difficult, because to start with, I don’t have the means to be able to get a license. I'd have to have money,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez said he supports family members back home. Add in rent and bills, and he said his earnings are gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a clear division among immigrants between the haves and have-nots — not everyone has the same opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are generational divides, there are class divides, there are all these divides that are separate and apart from immigration status,” said Kevin Johnson, an immigration law expert and dean of the law school at University of California, Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camberos, the aspiring nurse, has a few advantages. Her husband owns a gardening business and supports them, allowing her to stay home and study. She's also highly educated, with a degree in nursing that she earned in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she’s eager to get back to nursing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I like to feel the adrenaline. I want to help people,\" Camberos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hopes to take the exams that will allow her to work early next year.\u003c/p>\n\n",

This month the Obama administration asked the court to reconsider, but that's considered a long shot. In the meantime, some immigrants in California are finding other ways to work legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is among the most liberal of the states in granting benefits to those living in the U.S. without legal status.

I can work,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone is thrilled about the prospect of unauthorized immigrants working legally in this country. Already, such immigrants represent \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/11/19/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/\">an estimated 5.1 percent of the U.S. workforce\u003c/a>, about 8.1 million people, according to the Pew Research Center. Those who favor stricter immigration rules are critical of the immigrant-friendly laws that California has enacted in recent years, arguing the state has overstepped its bounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What are you going to expect when immigration has completely changed the political nature of the state, other than kind of the nullification of federal immigration law?\" said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that favors tighter immigration rules. \"This really isn’t that different from what South Carolina did before the Civil War. They were essentially trying to negate federal law, because they didn’t like it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Thank God, I have not needed a Social Security number or a work permit, because we can make our own dream, as owners and proprietors of a business.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>There are other ways immigrants without work permits can earn income legally, not only in California but in other states as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olga Cordero and her husband could have qualified for work permits under Obama’s now-frozen immigration plan, but they don’t really need them for the work they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thank God, I have not needed a Social Security number or a work permit, because we can make our own dream, as owners and proprietors of a business,” Cordero said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband own a small jewelry store in North Hollywood. So long as they pay taxes, they are legally self-employed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cordero arrived in the country in the late 1980s and couldn’t find jobs that paid well. She worked as a babysitter and in restaurants -- and saved every penny for the capital to start their business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you want something, you have to sacrifice something. Going out, vacations, luxury purchases in big stores, unnecessary purchases. That was our sacrifice,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple has done pretty well. They now own a spacious home, and a condo that they rent out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other unauthorized immigrants are struggling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Martinez, a day laborer from El Salvador, came to the U.S. 10 years ago when he was 40. He said he would happily start a business as a contractor, but he thinks it’s an impossible goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It would be difficult, because to start with, I don’t have the means to be able to get a license. I'd have to have money,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez said he supports family members back home. Add in rent and bills, and he said his earnings are gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a clear division among immigrants between the haves and have-nots — not everyone has the same opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are generational divides, there are class divides, there are all these divides that are separate and apart from immigration status,” said Kevin Johnson, an immigration law expert and dean of the law school at University of California, Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camberos, the aspiring nurse, has a few advantages. Her husband owns a gardening business and supports them, allowing her to stay home and study. She's also highly educated, with a degree in nursing that she earned in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she’s eager to get back to nursing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I like to feel the adrenaline. I want to help people,\" Camberos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hopes to take the exams that will allow her to work early next year.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

New York-based Univision is the most watched Spanish-language TV network in the world, and Jorge Ramos is viewed by many as a Latino Walter Cronkite-type newsman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w251in94pA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramos, who was born in Mexico and is a U.S. citizen, was later allowed back into the Trump news conference and engaged the candidate in a lively exchange for several minutes over the candidate’s proposals to deport enormous numbers of undocumented immigrants and erect a wall along the Mexican border, although a series of man-made barriers and other security measures already exist along some 600 miles of the United States’ 2,000-mile border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have a bigger heart than you do,” Trump quipped to Ramos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramos later told the New York Times that he considers Trump’s coarse rhetoric on Latinos “personal.” On Tuesday, Ramos penned a scathing anti-Trump commentary titled \u003ca href=\"http://fusion.net/story/288052/jorge-ramos-hate-is-contagious/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“Summer of Hate”\u003c/a> for the Univision news and culture outlet Fusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/274621921″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trump is a hater. I’ve never witnessed such venom in American politics as in his campaign,” writes Ramos. “Undoubtedly many of his followers believe that if their candidate can attack people, they can, too. The result is a poisonous political climate where insults, bullying and racism have become commonplace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all Spanish-language news reporters who cover Trump agree with such strong sentiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m Venezuelan. If someone comes out and says Venezuelans are all rapists, I might be offended,” says veteran Los Angeles-based reporter \u003ca href=\"http://www.pilarmarrero.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pilar Marrero\u003c/a>. “But as a reporter, I’m not supposed to take it personally.

It has nothing to do with being subjective or objective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent survey from the conservative watchdog group Media Research Center concluded that the tone of Spanish-language news coverage paints Donald Trump unfairly as “an enemy of Latinos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Oliver-Mendez, director of \u003ca href=\"http://newsbusters.org/latino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MRC Latino\u003c/a>, says Spanish-language news outlets also devote a disproportionate amount of presidential election coverage to the issue of immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem is that legitimate concerns about national security, about law and order, about rule of law are marginalized and not considered fully. And you’ve had a real demonization of the other side, of the Republicans generally as the bad guys. Some very sweeping generalizations we see,” says Oliver-Mendez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenge in covering a candidate like Trump, if you’re from a Spanish-language news organization, is that some people may assume you have a built-in bias, says Cal State Northridge journalism professor Jose Luis Benavides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody would tell to a reporter who covers Wall Street: Watch out because you are white and most of the people you are covering are white, so maybe you (have) a conflict of interest,” says Benavides, who also launched “\u003ca href=\"http://www.csun.edu/elnuevosol/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">El Nuevo Sol\u003c/a>,” a student-operated, Spanish-language online news site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benavides adds that there is a tradition in some Spanish-language news media of adopting a crusader reporting style. And that’s an approach that may give an impression of bias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re all going to have our biases. However, I really do believe in truths,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.ocweekly.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OC Weekly\u003c/a> editor Gustavo Arellano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OC Weekly is actually printed in English. But a lot of its readers are young, bilingual and Latino. The newspaper has been very critical of Trump and his policies, frequently satirizing and savagely ridiculing the candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the OC Weekly we’re not exactly known for liking Donald Trump,” says Arellano. “After all, we put did put him getting sodomized by a donkey on the cover a couple months ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11025957\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 738px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11025957\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/LATINO-NEWS-TRUMP-OC-WEEKLY.jpg\" alt=\"A recent OC Weekly cover created by syndicated cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz\" width=\"738\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/LATINO-NEWS-TRUMP-OC-WEEKLY.jpg 738w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/LATINO-NEWS-TRUMP-OC-WEEKLY-400x314.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A recent OC Weekly cover created by syndicated cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Arellano is referring to an \u003ca href=\"http://www.ocweekly.com/news/why-oc-weeklys-cover-this-week-features-a-donkey-drumpf-ing-trump-7166923\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">infamous OC Weekly cover\u003c/a> by cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz that depicts a cartoon Democratic Party donkey mounting a cartoon Donald Trump from behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Check out our Trump Coverage!” exclaims the donkey. “It’s yuuuge!” grunts the cartoon Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Arellano says OC Weekly also doesn’t shy away from engaging with and spotlighting Trump supporters. Arellano is currently working on an extensive profile of a young Latino who plans to vote for Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because it’s a great story,” says Arellano. “If you’re going to let your biases get in the way of a great story, then you’re a hack reporter, straight up. Like here at the (OC) Weekly, we’re left of left of left.

It has nothing to do with being subjective or objective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent survey from the conservative watchdog group Media Research Center concluded that the tone of Spanish-language news coverage paints Donald Trump unfairly as “an enemy of Latinos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Oliver-Mendez, director of \u003ca href=\"http://newsbusters.org/latino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MRC Latino\u003c/a>, says Spanish-language news outlets also devote a disproportionate amount of presidential election coverage to the issue of immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem is that legitimate concerns about national security, about law and order, about rule of law are marginalized and not considered fully. And you’ve had a real demonization of the other side, of the Republicans generally as the bad guys. Some very sweeping generalizations we see,” says Oliver-Mendez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenge in covering a candidate like Trump, if you’re from a Spanish-language news organization, is that some people may assume you have a built-in bias, says Cal State Northridge journalism professor Jose Luis Benavides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody would tell to a reporter who covers Wall Street: Watch out because you are white and most of the people you are covering are white, so maybe you (have) a conflict of interest,” says Benavides, who also launched “\u003ca href=\"http://www.csun.edu/elnuevosol/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">El Nuevo Sol\u003c/a>,” a student-operated, Spanish-language online news site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benavides adds that there is a tradition in some Spanish-language news media of adopting a crusader reporting style. And that’s an approach that may give an impression of bias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re all going to have our biases. However, I really do believe in truths,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.ocweekly.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OC Weekly\u003c/a> editor Gustavo Arellano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OC Weekly is actually printed in English. But a lot of its readers are young, bilingual and Latino. The newspaper has been very critical of Trump and his policies, frequently satirizing and savagely ridiculing the candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the OC Weekly we’re not exactly known for liking Donald Trump,” says Arellano. “After all, we put did put him getting sodomized by a donkey on the cover a couple months ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11025957\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 738px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11025957\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/LATINO-NEWS-TRUMP-OC-WEEKLY.jpg\" alt=\"A recent OC Weekly cover created by syndicated cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz\" width=\"738\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/LATINO-NEWS-TRUMP-OC-WEEKLY.jpg 738w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/LATINO-NEWS-TRUMP-OC-WEEKLY-400x314.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A recent OC Weekly cover created by syndicated cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Arellano is referring to an \u003ca href=\"http://www.ocweekly.com/news/why-oc-weeklys-cover-this-week-features-a-donkey-drumpf-ing-trump-7166923\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">infamous OC Weekly cover\u003c/a> by cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz that depicts a cartoon Democratic Party donkey mounting a cartoon Donald Trump from behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Check out our Trump Coverage!” exclaims the donkey. “It’s yuuuge!” grunts the cartoon Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Arellano says OC Weekly also doesn’t shy away from engaging with and spotlighting Trump supporters. Arellano is currently working on an extensive profile of a young Latino who plans to vote for Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because it’s a great story,” says Arellano. “If you’re going to let your biases get in the way of a great story, then you’re a hack reporter, straight up.

Not only did she make it to the U.S. safely, but she also had an older sister, Yesenia, in California.

She tells me she never thought she would learn to drive a car, and now feels like a \"real American teenager.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this new independence, Jennifer has been dealing with some unexpected setbacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'[My attorney] said, 'You got your papers, you can stay.'

Hanen previously had criticized the administration for lax immigration enforcement. Hanen sided with the states, blocking the programs from taking effect. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled for the states, and the Justice Department rushed an appeal to the high court so that it could be heard this term.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>A fledgling voter project aims to bring two groups together for the November election. The idea is to pair nonvoters who can't cast ballots with people who can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to match up a U.S. citizen with someone who is, unfortunately, not able to go on Election Day and participate,\" said Francisco Medina, 30, a Huntington Park resident and one of the organizers of a project called \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/voteallies/\">Vote Allies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/261334170\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina’s name may ring a bell. He made headlines last summer as one of two men without legal resident status who were \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/08/17/53827/as-huntington-park-goes-does-southern-california/\">appointed to city commissions in Huntington Park\u003c/a> in Southern California. The appointments drew mixed reaction -- criticism, support and the observation that the appointments amounted to another sign of how immigrants without legal status are integrating into California society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vote Allies is taking shape as the U.S. Supreme Court on April 4 upheld the long-standing practice of drawing up legislative districts based on total population rather than on just those who are eligible to vote as citizens. Blue states like California, with large numbers of residents illegally in the country, could have seen a political shift favoring Republicans had the decision gone the other way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina and fellow activist Brett Shears held their first public meeting in March to sign up participants in Vote Allies. Among those they're enlisting are U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote, in one group, and in the other, people who can't vote: noncitizen legal residents, immigrants without legal status or citizens precluded from voting because of a past felony offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/161555298\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those who signed up to participate is 40-year-old Gabriel Zamora. He's active in his janitors union and has volunteered in campaigns for state and local candidates, canvassing neighborhoods and knocking on doors to urge people to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zamora himself can’t vote. While he has helped others fill out naturalization forms and apply for U.S. citizenship, he's not eligible to fill out his own application because he does not live in the country legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zamora said in Spanish that he'd like to become a legal resident but he doesn't qualify for any programs that would help him gain citizenship. Nonetheless, he remains civic-minded and active in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that fulfills me,\" said Zamora, who lives in South Los Angeles. He remembers he was similarly engaged in his native Mexico. \"It makes me feel useful to society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few blocks from Zamora’s house down Arlington Avenue, 34-year-old artist Jack Bangerter lives in his studio. He’s a U.S. citizen, raised in Idaho, and can vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter said his voting has been largely consistent; he has cast ballots in most major elections. But \"sometimes I haven’t voted,\" he admits. \"I’m out of the country or something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter has never met Zamora, but they might soon. Organizers of Vote Allies said they'd like to pair up people who live near one another, people who know one another in some other way, or willing relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are going to participate in this voting process together. We're going to have them educate each other about their issues. We're going to have them educate each other about the process,\" said Shears, a recent University of Southern California public policy graduate who teamed up with Medina to reach immigrants who might participate in the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, there’s nothing illegal about U.S. citizens who can vote and immigrants who can't sharing their political thoughts ahead of the election. If they find common ground on candidates and issues, they could \"share\" a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for some, the idea of people without legal status getting involved in any part of the political process just doesn’t sit right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It matters greatly, if we take the notion of citizenship and sovereignty seriously, that those who are citizens are the ones informing their government, and those who are not citizens -- that are here as visitors -- don’t have any more say about how to run the household than a guest you might have overnight at your house,” said John Eastman, who teaches constitutional law at Chapman University in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where people like Francisco Medina beg to differ. Medina has lived in the U.S. since he was 16. He's been volunteering in his community since he was in his 20s, and he doesn’t see himself as a guest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my country, this is my community, this is where I live,\" Medina said. \"I’m not going anywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same goes for Stephanie Martinez, who has also signed up for the voting project. The 23-year-old college student from Huntington Park can live and work in the U.S. legally through \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca\">\"deferred action,\"\u003c/a> the federal program that shields some young immigrants from deportation.

The idea is to pair nonvoters who can't cast ballots with people who can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to match up a U.S. citizen with someone who is, unfortunately, not able to go on Election Day and participate,\" said Francisco Medina, 30, a Huntington Park resident and one of the organizers of a project called \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/voteallies/\">Vote Allies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/261334170&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/261334170'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina’s name may ring a bell. He made headlines last summer as one of two men without legal resident status who were \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/08/17/53827/as-huntington-park-goes-does-southern-california/\">appointed to city commissions in Huntington Park\u003c/a> in Southern California. The appointments drew mixed reaction -- criticism, support and the observation that the appointments amounted to another sign of how immigrants without legal status are integrating into California society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vote Allies is taking shape as the U.S. Supreme Court on April 4 upheld the long-standing practice of drawing up legislative districts based on total population rather than on just those who are eligible to vote as citizens. Blue states like California, with large numbers of residents illegally in the country, could have seen a political shift favoring Republicans had the decision gone the other way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Among those they're enlisting are U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote, in one group, and in the other, people who can't vote: noncitizen legal residents, immigrants without legal status or citizens precluded from voting because of a past felony offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/161555298\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those who signed up to participate is 40-year-old Gabriel Zamora. He's active in his janitors union and has volunteered in campaigns for state and local candidates, canvassing neighborhoods and knocking on doors to urge people to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zamora himself can’t vote. While he has helped others fill out naturalization forms and apply for U.S. citizenship, he's not eligible to fill out his own application because he does not live in the country legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zamora said in Spanish that he'd like to become a legal resident but he doesn't qualify for any programs that would help him gain citizenship. Nonetheless, he remains civic-minded and active in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that fulfills me,\" said Zamora, who lives in South Los Angeles. He remembers he was similarly engaged in his native Mexico. \"It makes me feel useful to society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few blocks from Zamora’s house down Arlington Avenue, 34-year-old artist Jack Bangerter lives in his studio. He’s a U.S. citizen, raised in Idaho, and can vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter said his voting has been largely consistent; he has cast ballots in most major elections. But \"sometimes I haven’t voted,\" he admits. \"I’m out of the country or something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter has never met Zamora, but they might soon. Organizers of Vote Allies said they'd like to pair up people who live near one another, people who know one another in some other way, or willing relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are going to participate in this voting process together. We're going to have them educate each other about their issues. We're going to have them educate each other about the process,\" said Shears, a recent University of Southern California public policy graduate who teamed up with Medina to reach immigrants who might participate in the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, there’s nothing illegal about U.S. citizens who can vote and immigrants who can't sharing their political thoughts ahead of the election. If they find common ground on candidates and issues, they could \"share\" a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for some, the idea of people without legal status getting involved in any part of the political process just doesn’t sit right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It matters greatly, if we take the notion of citizenship and sovereignty seriously, that those who are citizens are the ones informing their government, and those who are not citizens -- that are here as visitors -- don’t have any more say about how to run the household than a guest you might have overnight at your house,” said John Eastman, who teaches constitutional law at Chapman University in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where people like Francisco Medina beg to differ. Medina has lived in the U.S. since he was 16. He's been volunteering in his community since he was in his 20s, and he doesn’t see himself as a guest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my country, this is my community, this is where I live,\" Medina said. \"I’m not going anywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same goes for Stephanie Martinez, who has also signed up for the voting project. The 23-year-old college student from Huntington Park can live and work in the U.S. legally through \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca\">\"deferred action,\"\u003c/a> the federal program that shields some young immigrants from deportation. But she still can’t vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To work with someone and say, 'You know what? Let’s work together, learn together, and on my behalf, if you don’t want to vote for yourself, do it for me.' I feel like that is something really motivating,\" Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Medina, Martinez also volunteers in her community. She's studying early childhood education, and spends time without pay helping in local elementary school classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I guess, being able to know what it was like to struggle in a new language, I like to help other students who are in the same situation,\" Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civic involvement among immigrants who don't have legal status isn't new, said Manuel Pastor, a sociologist who co-directs USC's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration.
