In remarks preceding the film, Zuckerberg talked about his evolution from a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with a stake in how many H1-B visas get issued to someone who wants to play a broader role in the debate — a debate that includes farm workers and less educated immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are issues that don’t just touch our part of the industry but really touch the whole country,” he told the 700 or so in the audience at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, an invitation-only event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall message of the evening was that the youth — the young, the innovative, the daring — are behind immigration reform. Zuckerberg talked about his conversations with his wife, which he credits with getting him involved more personally in the issue. “Our dinner conversations were largely about Facebook on the one hand, and kids on the other,” he joked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Introducing Zuckerberg was Joe Green, head of the nonprofit advocacy group \u003ca href=\"http://fwd.us/\">FWD.us\u003c/a>, founded by Zuckerberg and a roster of other Silicon Valley upstarts. Green, who was Zuckerberg’s roommate at Harvard, turned down the opportunity to help start Facebook and instead finished school and worked on John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->Green has come under fire for his group’s early forays into politics. But he seemed nonplussed, running onto stage with youthful exuberance, his curly hair waving and hip-nerd glasses perched on his handsome face. “It is extraordinary to look across this room and see such a diverse group of allies who all have a stake in immigration reform,” he said as he welcomed students and their families, elected officials and tech innovators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filmmaker Vargas, who was born in the Philippines, continued in the same vein. Earnest yet defiant, he wore a blazer and jeans, and talked about his love for his country, the United States. “I am an American,” he said. “I’m just waiting for my country to acknowledge it.” Vargas, who shared a Pulitzer Prize for his work as a journalist, revealed his own status as an undocumented immigrant in a 2011 New York Times \u003ca href=\"//www.nytimes.com/2011/06/26/magazine/my-life-as-an-undocumented-immigrant.html?pagewanted=all)\">essay\u003c/a>, much of which is reprised in his film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the audience were many members of San Francisco’s progressive vanguard. City Attorney Dennis Herrera said he hopes the debate over immigration — a divisive one on Capitol Hill — can bring people together. “I think how we deal with the whole issue of immigration is critically important to who we are as a society and as a country,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Supervisor David Campos, who recently announced his intention to run for State Assembly, said his own story as an undocumented immigrant is reflected in the film. “When I was growing up as an undocumented child, that was just not something we talked about,” Campos said. “It’s incredible to see all these faces here tonight, many of whom are undocumented themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the undocumented faces was Dean Santos, a student at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont. “Vargas’ story is my story,” Santos said. “The more people we can get to put a human face on what being undocumented looks like, the better chance we have of moving forward as a country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other big names in attendance included musician MC Hammer and NFL Hall of Famer Joe Montana. They entered the auditorium following a private reception held in a cordoned-off upstairs gallery of the arts center. Outside, a mobile photo studio took photographs that were later blown up in black and white and plastered on the walls of the center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the lights dimmed and the film began, the mood was rosy, with immigration largely viewed as positive. While there are many who don’t agree with this view, last night’s event pushed the FWD.us agenda: Immigration, as imagined by the talent of Silicon Valley, is as simple as letting other talented people into this country who will soon love it more than wherever they came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Often they’re mainly amplifying a message that others have articulated, and adding the heft of their reputation to that cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Monday night’s screening of “Documented,” a film by undocumented immigrant Jose Antonio Vargas, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg weighed in publicly on the immigration debate. In remarks preceding the film, Zuckerberg talked about his evolution from a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with a stake in how many H1-B visas get issued to someone who wants to play a broader role in the debate — a debate that includes farm workers and less educated immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are issues that don’t just touch our part of the industry but really touch the whole country,” he told the 700 or so in the audience at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, an invitation-only event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall message of the evening was that the youth — the young, the innovative, the daring — are behind immigration reform. Zuckerberg talked about his conversations with his wife, which he credits with getting him involved more personally in the issue. “Our dinner conversations were largely about Facebook on the one hand, and kids on the other,” he joked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Green, who was Zuckerberg’s roommate at Harvard, turned down the opportunity to help start Facebook and instead finished school and worked on John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->Green has come under fire for his group’s early forays into politics. But he seemed nonplussed, running onto stage with youthful exuberance, his curly hair waving and hip-nerd glasses perched on his handsome face. “It is extraordinary to look across this room and see such a diverse group of allies who all have a stake in immigration reform,” he said as he welcomed students and their families, elected officials and tech innovators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filmmaker Vargas, who was born in the Philippines, continued in the same vein. Earnest yet defiant, he wore a blazer and jeans, and talked about his love for his country, the United States. “I am an American,” he said. “I’m just waiting for my country to acknowledge it.” Vargas, who shared a Pulitzer Prize for his work as a journalist, revealed his own status as an undocumented immigrant in a 2011 New York Times \u003ca href=\"//www.nytimes.com/2011/06/26/magazine/my-life-as-an-undocumented-immigrant.html?pagewanted=all)\">essay\u003c/a>, much of which is reprised in his film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the audience were many members of San Francisco’s progressive vanguard. City Attorney Dennis Herrera said he hopes the debate over immigration — a divisive one on Capitol Hill — can bring people together. “I think how we deal with the whole issue of immigration is critically important to who we are as a society and as a country,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Supervisor David Campos, who recently announced his intention to run for State Assembly, said his own story as an undocumented immigrant is reflected in the film. “When I was growing up as an undocumented child, that was just not something we talked about,” Campos said. “It’s incredible to see all these faces here tonight, many of whom are undocumented themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the undocumented faces was Dean Santos, a student at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont. “Vargas’ story is my story,” Santos said. “The more people we can get to put a human face on what being undocumented looks like, the better chance we have of moving forward as a country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other big names in attendance included musician MC Hammer and NFL Hall of Famer Joe Montana. They entered the auditorium following a private reception held in a cordoned-off upstairs gallery of the arts center. Outside, a mobile photo studio took photographs that were later blown up in black and white and plastered on the walls of the center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the lights dimmed and the film began, the mood was rosy, with immigration largely viewed as positive. While there are many who don’t agree with this view, last night’s event pushed the FWD.us agenda: Immigration, as imagined by the talent of Silicon Valley, is as simple as letting other talented people into this country who will soon love it more than wherever they came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

If the bill becomes law, they could be eligible to become “registered provisional immigrants,” assuming they don’t have a serious criminal record, can pass background checks and pay federal taxes — plus a $1000 fine. Then — if these folks stay out of trouble, learn English and civics, remain employed and earn a minimum income — after 10 years they can apply for lawful permanent residence, or a “green card.” After three years with a green card, they will have the option to apply for citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a parallel, and shorter, path for “DREAMers,” the young people who were brought to this country before they turned 16.

Undocumented farm workers can also get on a shorter path to legal residence if they spend a few more years working in agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some analysts believe that several million undocumented immigrants could fall off the path, though, and wind up staying in the shadows. In addition, the bill won’t let anyone here illegally get a green card until a set of enforcement provisions is in place: doubling the size of the Border Patrol, adding more fencing and technology along the border, and requiring an electronic system to verify the legal work eligibility of everyone who takes a new job.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2\u003c/strong>. \u003cstrong>It would put border enforcement on steroids.\u003c/strong> California is one of four states bordering Mexico and one of the places where the serious border build-up got started almost 20 years ago is around San Diego. Spending on border protection has more than doubled over the past decade. And illegal border crossings are at near-historic lows, due to both the difficulty of crossing and our still-struggling economy. This bill would put another $46 billion into fortifying the U.S.-Mexico border over the next 10 years, and nearly double the Border Patrol force to almost 40,000 agents. It would add more drones, sensors, radar, helicopters and other technology. And it would complete 700 miles of impassable “pedestrian” fencing, replacing about 350 miles of waist-high vehicle barriers. Those measures get mixed reviews in border communities, where many dislike uncontrolled immigration but have close ties with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. Bob Corker, who co-wrote the “border surge” amendment, said it was “almost overkill.” But it earned the bill some extra Republican votes. The border security strategy must be implemented before any immigrant with provisional legal status can get a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting that not all undocumented immigrants enter the country illegally; roughly a third come into the country on legal visas and overstay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3\u003c/strong>. \u003cstrong>It would make it easier for high-tech industries to hire people from abroad.\u003c/strong> California’s tech sector stands to get a big influx of foreign talent. Silicon Valley leaders lobbied hard for a range of measures in the Senate bill and they got what they were after. The bill could dramatically expand the number of H-1B temporary visas for skilled workers, from a current maximum of 80,000 to as many as 205,000. And it would speed the line to a green card for workers from countries such as India and China, who currently face a long wait. That’s because the bill would remove annual country caps for employment-based visas and substitute a first-come, first-served system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign students earning graduate degrees in science, math and technology at U.S. universities could get a green card under the Senate plan if they have a U.S. job offer. The bill also creates a brand new “start-up visa” that would offer green cards to foreign entrepreneurs who have raised capital from qualified U.S. investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4\u003c/strong>. \u003cstrong>It would provide a fast-track legalization for agricultural workers.\u003c/strong> Agriculture, especially labor-intensive fruit and vegetable crops, are another big California industry. Out of the more than 1 million undocumented farm workers in the U.S., as many as 400,000 are in California and most could qualify. They would have to continue to work in agriculture for the next five years or so while in provisional legal status, and then they could apply for a green card. The deal was crafted by labor leaders and growers anxious for a more reliable, stable workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would also create a new guest worker program for farm workers who could come in on a renewable three-year visa. Unlike the Bracero Program of the 1940s-‘60s, it allows the workers to change jobs if they are unhappy with an employer. This guest worker program, along with a temporary visa for low-skilled non-agricultural workers, is meant to provide a legal way for future foreign workers to come for jobs, rather than crossing the border illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>It would require every American worker to be screened through an electronic system when starting a new job. \u003c/strong>Within five years, all California employers – along with every other employer in the country – would have to use the federal system to check whether new hires are legally authorized to work in the United States. The system, known as E-Verify, grows out of the current requirement that new employees must show their bosses documents to prove they are either U.S. citizens or legal immigrants with work authorization. The current paper-based system has been in place since 1986 but it’s susceptible to fraud. The electronic system cross-checks workers through Social Security and immigration databases. Under the Senate plan, E-verify would be expanded from the 400,000 employers who use it now to all of the nation’s 7.3 million employers. Critics worry that errors in the databases will lead to workers being wrongly denied jobs. But Homeland Security officials say the error rate is low and that they can expand the system effectively. Mandatory E-verify must be up and running before undocumented immigrants in provisional status can gain green cards, under the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>One Thing the Senate Bill Will NOT Do\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senators decided \u003cem>not\u003c/em> to add language to the immigration bill that would offer immigration benefits to same-sex couples. The Democrats who favored the idea were persuaded that it would doom the bill with more conservative Senators. However Wednesday’s Supreme Court decision overturning the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) means that federal benefits – including immigration benefits – that the government offers heterosexual married couples must also go to gay and lesbian married couples. So it may soon be possible for U.S. citizens to petition for green cards for their same-sex spouses from other countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oh, and one more thing…\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>It’s not law yet.\u003c/strong> It’s just a big, fat, 1922-page bill that will have to get through the House of Representatives before it makes it to the desk of President Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

But neither ruling was the type of clear-cut decision that advocates on both sides of the issue were hoping for. KQED spoke to several experts about the details of the cases and how this could all play out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court focused on the issue of standing in their ruling today on Prop. 8. In 2010, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, state Attorney General Jerry Brown and Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado refused to defend Prop. 8, leaving Imperial County as the only government entity willing to defend the proposition. But in 2011, the California Supreme Court ruled that Prop. 8 proponents had standing to defend the measure, which allowed them to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Now the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Prop. 8 supporters did\u003cem> not\u003c/em> have standing to appeal, Judge Vaughn Walker's decision that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional currently stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's standing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Davis law professor Vik Amar explains:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Standing means that you're a party that belongs in court, and that we can trust that you'll represent the interests of one position in a way that allows the court to reach the merits. For example, if I voted against Prop. 8, and I thought it was a bad deal, I couldn't sue to challenge Prop. 8, even if it offended me, unless I'm a same-sex person, which I'm not. Standing makes sure we have the right parties in the case so that the courts aren't shooting their mouths off and making new rulings just in abstract context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Usually we focus on whether the plaintiffs have standing. This was an unusual case because we were focusing on whether the defendants -- the proponents of Prop. 8 -- had standing, and the real question is whether the proponents are adequate representatives of the voters of the state of California. And the Supreme Court said that they are not. The Supreme Court said that they are private persons. They are not the same as public state officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the Brown administration had appealed Judge Walker's decision to the 9th Circuit but said, 'By the way, we agree with the plaintiff, the challengers,' then the Supreme Court might have had a much harder time getting rid of this case. It might have had to reach the merits as it did in the Defense of Marriage Act case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When can same-sex marriages resume?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court gave the 9th Circuit Court 25 days before the appeals court has to lift the stay, or hold, on Walker's ruling. This period comes directly from Supreme Court rules -- whenever the high court makes a ruling, the loser has 25 days to file for a rehearing before anything can happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also has to decide how they are going to interpret the ruling. Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the Department of Public Health - which oversees marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, and other such documents - to advise the 58 counties of California to commence same-sex marriages as soon as the stay is lifted. Each county has to decide how they will prepare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Kamala Harris in a speech asked the court to lift the stay quickly: \"I am also calling on the 9th Circuit today to urge them in the strongest terms that they lift the stay and enforce the permanent injunction that Vaughn Walker outlined so that marriages can begin in California immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will the legal struggle continue in California?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether the lawsuits will continue. Someone with standing would need to challenge Walker's ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar believes that only a county clerk could do so: \"The only scenario I envision is if a county clerk who feels that he should not be bound by Judge Walker's order, and that he is not controllable by the governor, from some conservative county wants to refuse to issue marriage licenses and goes to court and says he shouldn't be governed by any of this because he never had his day in court, he wasn't in San Francisco defending Prop 8. That's the only kind of individual or party left I could see to stand in the way.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nJane Schacter, professor of law at Stanford Law School, agrees that a county clerk refusal could restart the process: \"What I think will happen at that point, it would not surprise me if in some more culturally conservative part of the state, a local county clerk says, 'Well, I don’t think the governor had the power to order me to do this, I don’t think I’m bound by Judge Walker’s order, and therefore I’m not going to give you a license.' At that point, a same-sex couple may go to court to try to get that license and we may be off to the races with further litigation. Now, this really is a law professor’s dream. Will that be in state court? Will that be in federal court? Will it be about the scope of Walker’s decision? Will it be about the scope of the governor’s authority to decide what to do in these circumstances? Any number of questions, but I think there is no question that a lot of same-sex couples in short order are going to start marrying again in California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schacter also says that, while unlikely, Walker's opinion could be open to interpretation: \"The question is does Judge Walker's opinion, which was issued not in a class action but a lawsuit involving two couples, does it bind and apply statewide to other couples who are not part of the litigation? I think the governor will aggressively take the position that the state was a party in the case, the state is not contesting the decision of Judge Walker, therefore Prop. 8 is no longer enforceable. But it wouldn't surprise me if there's further litigation in this. It might be that the proponents of Prop. 8 will try to get some clarification of what the scope is of Judge Walker's opinion, and that won't come from Judge Walker because he's retired, but it will come from a different district judge. More likely I think Gov. Brown has ordered that marriage licenses be issued immediately. Once that starts happening, and I don't see a constraint to it because there was a stay in place pending resolution of the Supreme Court's appeal, and I think in short order that will be dissolved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Eastman, a lawyer for the National Organization for Marriage, argues that the Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA should leave the decision up to the states: \"DOMA’s decision by the court, which specifically says that marriage policy is a core function of the states and that the federal government can’t interfere with that, strongly suggests that Judge Walker’s opinion in the Proposition 8 case, which is the last opinion standing in the Proposition 8 case right now, is invalid and has been superseded by that DOMA decision. Because what he did was strike down California’s effort that has its own merits policy, as reflected in Proposition 8. So I think we’ve got a lot of litigation still to go on whether that decision has to be overruled.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar says this is unlikely, though: \"A big question is whether anyone can validly raise this kind of argument in front of the 9th Circuit or the District Court. In light of today's Perry ruling, Prop. 8 proponents have no right to have the 9th Circuit take another look at what Judge Walker did, or at the scope of his remedy either. And the governor and attorney general certainly are not going to ask the 9th Circuit to do anything other than allow Judge Walker's order to go into effect. So unless the 9th Circuit decides, on its own, to re-examine Walker's ruling, or unless someone else, like a county clerk, successfully intervenes to defend Proposition 8, and both of these are unlikely. I think the same-sex marriage train will leave the station here in California pretty soon. I think, and have argued for years, that this is the right result. California will join the same-sex marriage column of states largely because of the decisions of accountable, elected officials - the governor and the attorney general - rather than because of 9th Circuit judges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So if same-sex marriage is legal, what happens to domestic partnerships?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is also unclear. David Levine, professor of law at UC Hastings College of the Law, says: \"Presumably it will effectively change over to a marriage. When we had the interim period under the California Supreme Court, in effect that was what was going to happen. So, I think probably it’ll, in effect, automatically happen. But again that’s something that we’re going to have to get some direction. The state officials in Sacramento will be issuing some directives to the appropriate county officials. So, we’ll see. But I think, as a practical matter, it will turn into a marriage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about federal areas, like immigration and taxes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court's ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act covers changes to federal issues, such as immigration and taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court found that a portion of DOMA is unconstitutional because it violates equality principles by treating same-sex and heterosexual couples differently, even when states recognize same-sex couples and heterosexual couples the same, according to Amar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Supreme Court can direct, it cannot legislate. Our experts agreed that the details will probably have to be handled by the Obama administration. Schacter says: \"If section 3, as I believe, of DOMA is now unconstitutional in any respect, then there won’t be any reason for the Obama administration – which I think is inclined to recognize same-sex marriages – not to do that in the context of immigration and beyond. So, they’re going to have to go agency by agency and issue some regulations and public directives explaining how same-sex couples can achieve recognition from the federal government in these different areas.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The measures could shut down California companies when employers intimidate their workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the case of Jose Arias, who milked cows at a San Joaquin county dairy for nearly a decade, starting his shift at 5 a.m. and working until noon. He started again at 4 p.m. and milked cows until midnight. But he wasn’t paid overtime, given meals and rest breaks, or paid his wages on time. He finally left the dairy and filed a lawsuit that made its way to the California Supreme Court, which \u003ca href=\"http://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/arias-v-super-ct-33002\" target=\"_blank\">validated his right to file a claim.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Arias and the dairy owners were in the middle of negotiations, and shortly before trial, he says he learned the attorney representing the dairy had emailed an immigration agent about Arias’ immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt nervous.

Even talking about his case still makes him nervous. Sitting in his attorney’s office, he speaks haltingly, softly, and shifts uncomfortably in his seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel, well, pretty defeated. But I’m pushing on,” he says. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month, Arias filed a separate case claiming he was retaliated against when the dairy’s attorney, Anthony Raimondo, contacted immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to The California Report, Raimondo said “once all the evidence is presented, it will show that the retaliation claim is completely without merit,” though he wouldn’t comment on tape for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Arias says he’s pursuing the case because he knows he has rights, even as an undocumented worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Legislation against worker intimidation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now two bills working their way through the state legislature may encourage immigrant workers like Arias to come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml#content_anchor\" target=\"_blank\">AB 263\u003c/a> (Hernandez-D West Covina) would raise penalties on employers who retaliate against workers to $10,000 per worker and make retaliation a misdemeanor punishable by jail time. It also specifies actions that would be considered retaliatory if employers do them within 90 days of a worker making a complaint, attempting to unionize or participating in a public investigation or hearing about working conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB666&search_keywords=\">SB 666\u003c/a> (Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg-D Sacramento) would specifically address retaliation by attorneys, subjecting them to discipline or disbarment. Employers who retaliate against immigrant workers could pay a $10,000 fine and have their business licenses revoked or suspended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg and Hernandez say existing federal and state laws that protect workers from retaliation haven’t stopped employers from using the threat of calling immigration authorities to keep employees quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve worked 40 hours, you’ve paid me for 20,” says Hernandez. \"And when employers say, ‘You know what, if you keep bothering me and asking for this money, I’m going to call immigration on you.’ What does that say to the employee? It says to them, ‘You’re going to be separated from your family. You’re going to be punished at that level if you don’t work for free.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Business groups respond\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hernandez bill would require courts to permanently revoke business licenses from employers who retaliate against their workers more than once. That’s the part of the bill that’s getting a chilly reception from business groups like the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Wine Grape Growers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem here is that the remedy proposed is remarkably broad,” says Mike Belote. He’s a lobbyist for the California Employment Law Council, a group of the state’s biggest private employers. He says he doesn’t doubt that retaliation against immigrant workers can happen. But he thinks the Hernandez bill could hurt California’s economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If one of our very, very large employers, who may have tens of thousands of employees in California, and thousands of supervisors, if you have one rogue supervisor who engages in these practices twice, every license possessed by that business must be permanently revoked,” says Belote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez, however, insists it’s a fitting punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a broader effect here: all the other workers that witness the abuse and then witness the employer getting away with it. That creates a very chilling, stifling element in the workplace,” he says. “I’m confident the majority of Californians do not want our economy to be helped through exploitation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intimidation in Sacramento?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez says members of the legislature actually got to witness worker retaliation at a hearing on the issue in the Assembly Labor and Employment Committee, which he chairs, in March. Among those testifying were workers from Marquez Brothers cheese plant in Hanford. Shipping clerk Candida Venegas helped lead the effort to unionize the plant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We told our people, we’re going to go to Sacramento to show you guys we shouldn’t be afraid anymore,” says Venegas. “But then we were afraid ourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venegas and Hernandez say company lawyers showed up to the Sacramento hearing and sat behind the workers, trying to intimidate them again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let me make one thing clear,” Hernandez told the audience at the hearing. “I find it really ironic and outrageous that as we sit here today discussing employer intimidation and harassment of employees who seek to find justice in their workplace that these employers would hire high-priced attorneys to come out and follow their employees here today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venegas is a U.S. citizen, but she says she was standing up for her immigrant co-workers. She was fired shortly after the hearing in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody’s scared now,” says Venegas. “They’re saying, if it happened to her who was trying to help out people, what’s going to happen to us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez’s committee has launched a formal investigation based on Venegas’s claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marquez Brothers declined to comment for this story, although \u003ca href=\"http://www.hanfordsentinel.com/news/local/legislator-launches-inquiry-into-marquez-plant/article_b4a49cd0-a389-11e2-9462-0019bb2963f4.html\">a company spokesman told the local newspaper\u003c/a> that Venegas was fired for getting into a fight with another employee, not because she was challenging working conditions in the plant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the Steinberg and Hernandez bills have passed through committee and are headed for votes on the full floor of each chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the story.\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F94317270\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Rachel Estabrook/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While Congress debates federal immigration reform in Washington, California lawmakers are pushing several bills to strengthen state protections for immigrant workers. The measures could shut down California companies when employers intimidate their workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the case of Jose Arias, who milked cows at a San Joaquin county dairy for nearly a decade, starting his shift at 5 a.m. and working until noon. He started again at 4 p.m. and milked cows until midnight. But he wasn’t paid overtime, given meals and rest breaks, or paid his wages on time. He finally left the dairy and filed a lawsuit that made its way to the California Supreme Court, which \u003ca href=\"http://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/arias-v-super-ct-33002\" target=\"_blank\">validated his right to file a claim.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Arias and the dairy owners were in the middle of negotiations, and shortly before trial, he says he learned the attorney representing the dairy had emailed an immigration agent about Arias’ immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt nervous. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t even eat because I was thinking about what could happen,” says Arias in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Even talking about his case still makes him nervous. Sitting in his attorney’s office, he speaks haltingly, softly, and shifts uncomfortably in his seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel, well, pretty defeated. But I’m pushing on,” he says. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month, Arias filed a separate case claiming he was retaliated against when the dairy’s attorney, Anthony Raimondo, contacted immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to The California Report, Raimondo said “once all the evidence is presented, it will show that the retaliation claim is completely without merit,” though he wouldn’t comment on tape for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Arias says he’s pursuing the case because he knows he has rights, even as an undocumented worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Legislation against worker intimidation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now two bills working their way through the state legislature may encourage immigrant workers like Arias to come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml#content_anchor\" target=\"_blank\">AB 263\u003c/a> (Hernandez-D West Covina) would raise penalties on employers who retaliate against workers to $10,000 per worker and make retaliation a misdemeanor punishable by jail time. It also specifies actions that would be considered retaliatory if employers do them within 90 days of a worker making a complaint, attempting to unionize or participating in a public investigation or hearing about working conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB666&search_keywords=\">SB 666\u003c/a> (Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg-D Sacramento) would specifically address retaliation by attorneys, subjecting them to discipline or disbarment. Employers who retaliate against immigrant workers could pay a $10,000 fine and have their business licenses revoked or suspended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg and Hernandez say existing federal and state laws that protect workers from retaliation haven’t stopped employers from using the threat of calling immigration authorities to keep employees quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve worked 40 hours, you’ve paid me for 20,” says Hernandez. \"And when employers say, ‘You know what, if you keep bothering me and asking for this money, I’m going to call immigration on you.’ What does that say to the employee? It says to them, ‘You’re going to be separated from your family. You’re going to be punished at that level if you don’t work for free.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Business groups respond\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hernandez bill would require courts to permanently revoke business licenses from employers who retaliate against their workers more than once. That’s the part of the bill that’s getting a chilly reception from business groups like the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Wine Grape Growers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem here is that the remedy proposed is remarkably broad,” says Mike Belote. He’s a lobbyist for the California Employment Law Council, a group of the state’s biggest private employers. He says he doesn’t doubt that retaliation against immigrant workers can happen. But he thinks the Hernandez bill could hurt California’s economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If one of our very, very large employers, who may have tens of thousands of employees in California, and thousands of supervisors, if you have one rogue supervisor who engages in these practices twice, every license possessed by that business must be permanently revoked,” says Belote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez, however, insists it’s a fitting punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a broader effect here: all the other workers that witness the abuse and then witness the employer getting away with it. That creates a very chilling, stifling element in the workplace,” he says. “I’m confident the majority of Californians do not want our economy to be helped through exploitation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intimidation in Sacramento?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez says members of the legislature actually got to witness worker retaliation at a hearing on the issue in the Assembly Labor and Employment Committee, which he chairs, in March. Among those testifying were workers from Marquez Brothers cheese plant in Hanford. Shipping clerk Candida Venegas helped lead the effort to unionize the plant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We told our people, we’re going to go to Sacramento to show you guys we shouldn’t be afraid anymore,” says Venegas. “But then we were afraid ourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venegas and Hernandez say company lawyers showed up to the Sacramento hearing and sat behind the workers, trying to intimidate them again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let me make one thing clear,” Hernandez told the audience at the hearing. “I find it really ironic and outrageous that as we sit here today discussing employer intimidation and harassment of employees who seek to find justice in their workplace that these employers would hire high-priced attorneys to come out and follow their employees here today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venegas is a U.S. citizen, but she says she was standing up for her immigrant co-workers. She was fired shortly after the hearing in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody’s scared now,” says Venegas. “They’re saying, if it happened to her who was trying to help out people, what’s going to happen to us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez’s committee has launched a formal investigation based on Venegas’s claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marquez Brothers declined to comment for this story, although \u003ca href=\"http://www.hanfordsentinel.com/news/local/legislator-launches-inquiry-into-marquez-plant/article_b4a49cd0-a389-11e2-9462-0019bb2963f4.html\">a company spokesman told the local newspaper\u003c/a> that Venegas was fired for getting into a fight with another employee, not because she was challenging working conditions in the plant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the Steinberg and Hernandez bills have passed through committee and are headed for votes on the full floor of each chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
