To find out why, I head to what looks like the center of food abundance in Trinity County: the farmers market in Weaverville. Market manager Sue Corrigan is shopping for zucchini, tomatillos for salsa and onions her husband will make into onion rings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As she points to one vendor selling tomatoes, squash and cucumbers, Corrigan tells me something surprising, “We don’t have a lot of farmers in Trinity.

Making matters worse, Corrigan says, years ago, much of the potential farmland was taken out of commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her family had farmland here dating back to the 1830s. In the 1950s, Corrigan’s dad went away to college to study agriculture, but had to change his major.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government was taking our land,” she says, to build the Trinity Dam, part of the Central Valley Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of our last areas that was open enough to do farming, and they buried it with a lake,” she says, wistfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corrigan says it’s all about priorities in Trinity County. “We’ve had three different rushes: First the gold rush, second the timber rush, and now the marijuana rush which, is called the 'green rush.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can’t eat marijuana, she says. \"The focus has been on other industries and not a food sustainable industry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Braving Risky Roads\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One more explanation for Trinity’s food insecurity? Isolation. I see this first hand as Jeff England approaches his most remote food bank drop-off spot. He maneuvers around most of the potholes on these bumpy, poorly maintained roads. Last year’s winter storms even blocked one of his routes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was only one road you couldn’t get through,” he says. “Of course it was at about 5,000 feet and the snow was horrendous and people got stuck. It took me two months to get there and I brought two months’ worth of food.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s saying this like it was nothing, but England drove this old truck that doesn’t have four-wheel drive in the snow, on a closed road. State highway workers told him if he got stuck, he was on his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said, 'I have to go.' I slipped, lost traction, gained traction,” he remembers. “I just knew they needed the food so I decided to take the chance, and I made it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11617325\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/EnglandFoodBankDelivery-800x585.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff England unloads boxes at his last stop, Ruth Lake.

But where do they go to get groceries?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Usually it’s 100 miles in any direction from here to a large town,” she says. That’s more than a two-hour drive, one-way, to Eureka or Redding. They only do that once a month. In between, they rely on the food bank delivery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We keep the canned good for times when we can’t get off the hill, and the fresh food, I get imaginative,” she says. “I like to take the veggies and cook them in fruit juice and then I like to put fish on top of them the last 15-20 minutes.

The food bank and \u003ca href=\"https://www.trinitycountyfoodbank.com/\">Trinity County Food Assistance\u003c/a> deliver one bag or box of food to 2,500 households each month. That’s 20 percent of the county. And they could do more, but their antiquated refrigerator and freezer are so small, sometimes they have to decline donations of perishable food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And we probably have the lowest operating budget in the state. Our operating budget’s about $41,000 a year.” He and his wife clean summer vacation homes to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>England says the community here is incredibly supportive, but some people have complained that the food bank just enables drug addicted or homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t judge people, and those druggies have kids. The kids might not get food normally,” England says, but if the food bank provides, they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, if you’re hungry, you’re hungry,\" he says. \"I don’t care who you are.

I’m so happy to be able to turn the table and be able to help people that might have been in my shoes before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says, just look at the logo of the food bank, a person on a pedestal, reaching down helping someone else up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ariel Plotnick contributed additional reporting and research for this piece.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This piece was produced in collaboration with the\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://thefern.org/\"> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Food & Environment Reporting network\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a non-profit, investigative news organization. \u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Assembly passed the measure in the afternoon, but the bill wasn’t taken up in the Senate until around 1:15 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversations with the Assembly dragged on over a variety of measures, and a brief procedural panic ensued when the Senate’s work slipped past its midnight deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote on SB 54 wasn’t quite as dramatic: the bill sailed to the Governor Jerry Brown’s desk on a 27-11 party-line vote, with no Republicans supporting the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It shields much more than dreamers,” said Senator Joel Anderson, R-San Diego. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It continues to shield criminals in our jails.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Governor is expected to sign the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/13/california-debates-whether-to-become-a-sanctuary-state/\">10 months in the making\u003c/a> — and the final version was a lot weaker than many immigration advocates had pushed for — but lawmakers on Friday finally passed a bill that will severely curtail California law enforcement’s ability to work with federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown has promised to sign Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon’s\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2017/09/11/deal-reached-between-governor-brown-and-lawmakers-on-sanctuary-state-bill/\"> final legislation\u003c/a>,\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB54\"> Senate Bill 54, \u003c/a>after some law enforcement groups removed their opposition. But it remains unclear how the Trump administration — which has moved to restrict federal law enforcement grants to cities and counties with so-called sanctuary policies and is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/14/s-f-and-california-attorney-general-announce-lawsuit-challenging-latest-trump-sanctuary-city-policies/\">being sued by the state and others \u003c/a>— will respond when the bill becomes law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Vls2lQNv3QD3H8CRhCl9kXpRH59dQELo”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That uncertainty didn’t phase most supporters of the bill. It was approved by the state Assembly on a 49-25 vote Friday, and faces one more procedural vote in the Senate today before it can be sent to Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty said while opponents say SB54 isn’t needed because police in California aren’t enforcing immigration laws, that’s not always the case. He cited Juana Reyes, a woman who was \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/01/opinion/navarrette-deportation-sacramento/index.html\">arrested by sheriff’s deputies in Sacramento several years ago for selling tamales \u003c/a>outside a Walmart and was handed over to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s what this bill is focusing about, laying out the rules of California and our values, which is that serious offenses should be taken serious, but we should not go after individuals who are living their lives here, going about their daily business,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/11/governor-senate-leader-reach-deal-on-california-sanctuary-state-bill/\"> final legislation was the result of months of intense negotiations \u003c/a>between lawmakers, the governor and law enforcement groups who were concerned that the bill would tie their hands and prevent them from keeping the public safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”JId9MFGsYeeVeDV9V7p4s3SlkbniOnER”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates, meanwhile, had pushed for the strongest possible protections for immigrants who come in contact with police, saying public safety is at risk if immigrant communities don’t trust law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a number of changes allowing exceptions to the initially proposed all-out ban on communication between local agencies and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the association representing police chiefs agreed not to oppose the legislation. Several other law enforcement groups, including the California State Sheriff’s Association, remained opposed, but with the majority of their concerns addressed, Brown said he’d back the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final bill prohibits all law enforcement from using their own resources to enforce immigration laws. It forbids sheriffs — who run jails in California — from holding someone in jail past their release date for ICE, and limits when sheriffs officials may talk to immigration officials. Under the final bill, that communication is barred unless an inmate has been convicted of one of some 800 crimes in the past 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11533422\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11533422\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"An immigrant detainee looks out from his 'segregation cell' at California's Adelanto Detention Facility.\" width=\"800\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-800x544.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-1020x693.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-1180x802.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-960x653.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-240x163.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-375x255.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-520x353.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An immigrant detainee looks out from his ‘segregation cell’ at California’s Adelanto Detention Facility. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The bill also bars California police from participating in joint task forces if the main purpose is immigration enforcement.

Jerry Brown has promised to sign Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon’s\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2017/09/11/deal-reached-between-governor-brown-and-lawmakers-on-sanctuary-state-bill/\"> final legislation\u003c/a>,\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB54\"> Senate Bill 54, \u003c/a>after some law enforcement groups removed their opposition. But it remains unclear how the Trump administration — which has moved to restrict federal law enforcement grants to cities and counties with so-called sanctuary policies and is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/14/s-f-and-california-attorney-general-announce-lawsuit-challenging-latest-trump-sanctuary-city-policies/\">being sued by the state and others \u003c/a>— will respond when the bill becomes law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That uncertainty didn’t phase most supporters of the bill. It was approved by the state Assembly on a 49-25 vote Friday, and faces one more procedural vote in the Senate today before it can be sent to Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty said while opponents say SB54 isn’t needed because police in California aren’t enforcing immigration laws, that’s not always the case. He cited Juana Reyes, a woman who was \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/01/opinion/navarrette-deportation-sacramento/index.html\">arrested by sheriff’s deputies in Sacramento several years ago for selling tamales \u003c/a>outside a Walmart and was handed over to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s what this bill is focusing about, laying out the rules of California and our values, which is that serious offenses should be taken serious, but we should not go after individuals who are living their lives here, going about their daily business,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/11/governor-senate-leader-reach-deal-on-california-sanctuary-state-bill/\"> final legislation was the result of months of intense negotiations \u003c/a>between lawmakers, the governor and law enforcement groups who were concerned that the bill would tie their hands and prevent them from keeping the public safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates, meanwhile, had pushed for the strongest possible protections for immigrants who come in contact with police, saying public safety is at risk if immigrant communities don’t trust law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a number of changes allowing exceptions to the initially proposed all-out ban on communication between local agencies and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the association representing police chiefs agreed not to oppose the legislation. Several other law enforcement groups, including the California State Sheriff’s Association, remained opposed, but with the majority of their concerns addressed, Brown said he’d back the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final bill prohibits all law enforcement from using their own resources to enforce immigration laws. It forbids sheriffs — who run jails in California — from holding someone in jail past their release date for ICE, and limits when sheriffs officials may talk to immigration officials. Under the final bill, that communication is barred unless an inmate has been convicted of one of some 800 crimes in the past 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11533422\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11533422\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"An immigrant detainee looks out from his 'segregation cell' at California's Adelanto Detention Facility.\" width=\"800\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-800x544.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-1020x693.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-1180x802.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-960x653.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-240x163.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-375x255.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/AdelantoCell-520x353.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An immigrant detainee looks out from his ‘segregation cell’ at California’s Adelanto Detention Facility. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The bill also bars California police from participating in joint task forces if the main purpose is immigration enforcement.

"content": "\u003cp>As the Trump administration moves to phase out Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, and members of Congress consider bills to permanently protect undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, some employers and scholars in California’s growing health care sector worried that losing health workers whose DACA work permits expire could affect American patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the health care field, they say, DACA recipients are not taking jobs from American workers — contrary to the recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-delivers-remarks-daca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">assertion\u003c/a> by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. And they wonder what will happen to the investment that U.S. schools and employers have made in educating and training these young people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need more health professionals,” said Joanne Spetz, a health care workforce expert at UC San Francisco. “It’s been hard for some employers to even fill the openings they have now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2012, DACA has granted protection from deportation and temporary work permits to almost 800,000 immigrants between the ages of 16 and 30. An estimated 690,000 currently have DACA. Nine out of 10 of them hold jobs, and almost half are enrolled in school, according to a survey by UC San Diego political scientist Tom Wong, which was conducted for the left-leaning \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/news/2017/08/28/437956/daca-recipients-economic-educational-gains-continue-grow/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for American Progress\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to say exactly how many DACA recipients are currently working in health care, as employers may not know if their employees have DACA. But Randy Capps at the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan think tank, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.migrationpolicy.org/research/education-and-work-profiles-daca-population\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">looked at the industries\u003c/a> where young adults eligible for DACA work. He estimates that, as of 2014, there were close to 14,000 DACA recipients working in health-related occupations nationally. Roughly one in four DACA recipients live in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the education front, \u003ca href=\"http://www.phdreamers.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pre-Health Dreamers\u003c/a>, a network of hundreds of health career-bound undocumented students, estimates nearly 70 DACA recipients are enrolled in medical schools across the country, while hundreds more are studying allied health fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California as a whole faces a shortage of thousands of primary care providers as soon as 2025, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2017/08/408046/california-demand-primary-care-providers-exceed-supply-2030\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report \u003c/a>released this month by Spetz and other researchers at UCSF. Most hospitals in California are already having difficulties recruiting experienced nurses, particularly in emergency rooms and intensive care units, said Spetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a real need for experienced nurses now, both because hospitals need to have nurses with experience to carry out the more complicated tasks, and also to help mentor and prepare new graduates that are coming into workforce,” said Spetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes DACA recipients like Eli Oh a hot commodity. He’s a nurse who is part of a roving emergency response team at Stanford Health Care. Oh also works a second job as a traveling intensive care nurse at San Jose’s Regional Medical Center and other hospitals in the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re someone who doesn’t handle stress well this might not be the job for you because someone is dying in front of you, and you’re responsible,” said Oh, after just finishing his graveyard shift one recent morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staying calm while helping patients come back from the brink of death in the middle of the night might seem like a grueling schedule to plenty of people, but Oh said it’s not as tough as what he’s been through already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh was 11-years-old when he came from South Korea with his family. They arrived on a tourist visa, escaping the Asian financial crisis of the 1990s, and stayed. His dad had lost his job as an industrial engineer in Korea, and was not proficient in English. He could only find work as a house painter in the U.S., Oh said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of winters where we just couldn’t make rent,” said Oh, who grew up in the Cupertino area. “I grew up getting evicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he was 21, and working as a waiter to pay his way through nursing school, his family got evicted once more. Oh had to pick up another under-the-table job to keep a roof over his family’s head, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was going to nursing school full time and pulling 16-hour days That was probably the hardest time of my life. I was paying rent for my entire family for months,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that kept Oh going was the hope that, one day, he could work legally as a nurse. He had done his research, and knew that nursing skills were in increasing demand and well compensated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When President Obama used executive action to create DACA in 2012, Oh signed up. He has been able to work as a nurse for five years, and he was initially saddened by the news that the Trump administration was ending the DACA program. But Oh also feels grateful for the chance he had to gain professional experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DACA has given us so many of us the skills, the resources and the education that we need to survive as immigrants anywhere in the world,” said Oh, 30. “And so I could be angry and bitter, you know a lot of us struggle with that. But I’m choosing gratitude instead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh’s employers at Stanford Health Care declined to comment for this story, but pointed us to a \u003ca href=\"http://undocumented.stanford.edu/2017/09/05/stanford-statement-daca/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter\u003c/a> sent by Stanford University President, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, to the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investing in the education of DACA holders, “is an investment in our country’s future, as they apply their talents to strengthening our society and to driving economic growth,” wrote Tessier-Lavigne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford Health Care’s jobs website currently shows more than 110 openings in nursing, including 11 positions for critical care nurses in intensive care, neurosurgery and other teams in Palo Alto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the San Francisco Bay, a nonprofit health center, La Clinica de la Raza, has 12 job openings at its network of community clinics in Solano, Contra Costa and Alameda counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If DACA ends, La Clinica could lose about 10 percent of its employees as their work permits expire, said Jane Garcia. These are staff members who might be working as social workers, receptionists, medical assistants, therapists, dental hygienists and in other fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole possibility that I would lose a big chunk of my workforce that is bilingual, that lives in the community, is daunting, extremely sad and problematic,” said Garcia, whose clinics see more than 90,000 patients per year, especially in the Bay Area’s large immigrant communities. “It’s very costly to recruit and hire regular staff and so it’d be very, very disruptive to our operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employers like Stanford and La Clinica could spend about $20,000 to recruit and train replacements for registered nurses and even more for specialized nurses, said Spetz, the UCSF researcher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for the nurses themselves, there is no shortage of work opportunities in other countries, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nurses who might get pushed out of their jobs in the U.S. will easily be able to find work in Canada, Australia, England, Ireland and developing countries,” said Spetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moving to Canada is a possibility that Oh, the critical care nurse, is keeping in mind if he becomes unable to legally work in the U.S. But he would prefer to stay and work in the San Jose area, where his family lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, I may go from saving lives to potentially considering driving Uber for a living,” said Oh, standing in the lobby of the San Jose hospital and thinking about his uncertain future. “And then Plan C is always Canada.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

And they wonder what will happen to the investment that U.S. schools and employers have made in educating and training these young people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need more health professionals,” said Joanne Spetz, a health care workforce expert at UC San Francisco. “It’s been hard for some employers to even fill the openings they have now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2012, DACA has granted protection from deportation and temporary work permits to almost 800,000 immigrants between the ages of 16 and 30. An estimated 690,000 currently have DACA. Nine out of 10 of them hold jobs, and almost half are enrolled in school, according to a survey by UC San Diego political scientist Tom Wong, which was conducted for the left-leaning \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/news/2017/08/28/437956/daca-recipients-economic-educational-gains-continue-grow/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for American Progress\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to say exactly how many DACA recipients are currently working in health care, as employers may not know if their employees have DACA. But Randy Capps at the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan think tank, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.migrationpolicy.org/research/education-and-work-profiles-daca-population\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">looked at the industries\u003c/a> where young adults eligible for DACA work. He estimates that, as of 2014, there were close to 14,000 DACA recipients working in health-related occupations nationally. Roughly one in four DACA recipients live in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most hospitals in California are already having difficulties recruiting experienced nurses, particularly in emergency rooms and intensive care units, said Spetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a real need for experienced nurses now, both because hospitals need to have nurses with experience to carry out the more complicated tasks, and also to help mentor and prepare new graduates that are coming into workforce,” said Spetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes DACA recipients like Eli Oh a hot commodity. He’s a nurse who is part of a roving emergency response team at Stanford Health Care. Oh also works a second job as a traveling intensive care nurse at San Jose’s Regional Medical Center and other hospitals in the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re someone who doesn’t handle stress well this might not be the job for you because someone is dying in front of you, and you’re responsible,” said Oh, after just finishing his graveyard shift one recent morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staying calm while helping patients come back from the brink of death in the middle of the night might seem like a grueling schedule to plenty of people, but Oh said it’s not as tough as what he’s been through already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh was 11-years-old when he came from South Korea with his family. They arrived on a tourist visa, escaping the Asian financial crisis of the 1990s, and stayed. His dad had lost his job as an industrial engineer in Korea, and was not proficient in English. He could only find work as a house painter in the U.S., Oh said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of winters where we just couldn’t make rent,” said Oh, who grew up in the Cupertino area. “I grew up getting evicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he was 21, and working as a waiter to pay his way through nursing school, his family got evicted once more. Oh had to pick up another under-the-table job to keep a roof over his family’s head, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was going to nursing school full time and pulling 16-hour days That was probably the hardest time of my life. I was paying rent for my entire family for months,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that kept Oh going was the hope that, one day, he could work legally as a nurse. He had done his research, and knew that nursing skills were in increasing demand and well compensated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When President Obama used executive action to create DACA in 2012, Oh signed up. He has been able to work as a nurse for five years, and he was initially saddened by the news that the Trump administration was ending the DACA program. But Oh also feels grateful for the chance he had to gain professional experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DACA has given us so many of us the skills, the resources and the education that we need to survive as immigrants anywhere in the world,” said Oh, 30. “And so I could be angry and bitter, you know a lot of us struggle with that. But I’m choosing gratitude instead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh’s employers at Stanford Health Care declined to comment for this story, but pointed us to a \u003ca href=\"http://undocumented.stanford.edu/2017/09/05/stanford-statement-daca/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter\u003c/a> sent by Stanford University President, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, to the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investing in the education of DACA holders, “is an investment in our country’s future, as they apply their talents to strengthening our society and to driving economic growth,” wrote Tessier-Lavigne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford Health Care’s jobs website currently shows more than 110 openings in nursing, including 11 positions for critical care nurses in intensive care, neurosurgery and other teams in Palo Alto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the San Francisco Bay, a nonprofit health center, La Clinica de la Raza, has 12 job openings at its network of community clinics in Solano, Contra Costa and Alameda counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If DACA ends, La Clinica could lose about 10 percent of its employees as their work permits expire, said Jane Garcia. These are staff members who might be working as social workers, receptionists, medical assistants, therapists, dental hygienists and in other fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole possibility that I would lose a big chunk of my workforce that is bilingual, that lives in the community, is daunting, extremely sad and problematic,” said Garcia, whose clinics see more than 90,000 patients per year, especially in the Bay Area’s large immigrant communities. “It’s very costly to recruit and hire regular staff and so it’d be very, very disruptive to our operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employers like Stanford and La Clinica could spend about $20,000 to recruit and train replacements for registered nurses and even more for specialized nurses, said Spetz, the UCSF researcher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for the nurses themselves, there is no shortage of work opportunities in other countries, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nurses who might get pushed out of their jobs in the U.S. will easily be able to find work in Canada, Australia, England, Ireland and developing countries,” said Spetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moving to Canada is a possibility that Oh, the critical care nurse, is keeping in mind if he becomes unable to legally work in the U.S. But he would prefer to stay and work in the San Jose area, where his family lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The bill by state Sen. Jim Beall, D-Campbell, won final Senate passage Thursday and now awaits the governor’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 595 provides for a vote in the nine Bay Area counties next year to raise tolls on the region’s state-owned bridges — that’s all of them, except the Golden Gate — by as much as $3. If the Bay Area Toll Authority, the agency that oversees the bridges, seeks that maximum $3 increase, tolls on the bridges would be $8 to $9. (We still wouldn’t be in Verrazano-Narrows Bridge territory, though; the cash toll on the span between Brooklyn and Staten Island rose to $17 earlier this year.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The higher tolls would raise something like $375 million a year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB595#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the latest legislative analysis\u003c/a>, and pay for nearly three dozen transit and highway projects totaling $4.45 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11617220\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-800x460.jpg\" alt=\"Traffic backs up at the Bay Bridge toll plaza.\" width=\"800\" height=\"460\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11617220\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-800x460.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-160x92.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-1020x587.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-1180x679.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-960x553.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-240x138.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-375x216.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/TollPlaza-520x299.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traffic backs up at the Bay Bridge toll plaza. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>BART would get $500 million to help pay for its expanded fleet of new-generation rail cars, and $50 million for preliminary design and engineering work on a second transbay crossing. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority would get $375 million, part of what it needs to build a planned BART extension to downtown San Jose. Some $325 million would go to a long-dreamed-of Caltrain extension from San Francisco’s far-South of Market to downtown. The Bay Area’s Water Emergency Transportation Authority would get $300 to pay for new boats and dock facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the highway side, $300 million in toll proceeds would go to building new paid express lanes on Bay Area freeways, and another $1.1 billion would go to rebuilding interchanges and improving the most heavily traveled highway corridors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major feature: In a provision put forward by longtime BART critic Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, the measure creates a new inspector general position that would have sweeping authority to watch over the agency’s finances and performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A long list of local officials, unions, business and urban planning groups supported SB 595 as crucial for dealing with current and future transportation challenges in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill gives the Bay Area the bold plan it needs for the future,’’ Sen. Beall, the bill’s sponsor, said in a statement after the proposal finally made it through the Assembly on Wednesday. He added that the measure is especially important in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On weekdays, an average of 602,000 vehicles enter and exit the Bay Area,” Beall said. “With the expansion of tech firms, such as Google and Apple, those numbers will grow. Let’s take action now to curb traffic before it becomes worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what’s not to like in this picture?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Contra Costa County legislators — Assemblymember Tim Grayson and Congressman Mark DeSaulnier among them — opposed SB 595, saying that it’s 1) a regressive tax and 2) a ripoff for the residents of the East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their main argument — both \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/09/01/desaulnier-bridge-toll-plan-fails-east-bay-commuters-miserably/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DeSaulnier\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/09/07/opinion-toll-increases-are-not-the-answer-we-deserve/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grayson\u003c/a> penned op-ed pieces for the East Bay Times — is that residents of Alameda and Contra Costa counties will pay significantly more in increased tolls than their communities will get back in benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grayson said after SB 595 passed the Assembly that while he understood the need for infrastructure upgrades in the Bay Area, “there is a fundamental lack of equity in this proposal. … East Bay commuters deserve a better and far more just measure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeSaulnier, who has vowed to fight the toll increase when it appears on the ballot, said he feels the long shopping list of projects in SB 595 is the result of what he termed a politically driven planning process on the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s frustrating that such an innovative area is so backward when it comes to transportation,” DeSaulnier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Update, 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 14: Bill to Seal Court Records of the Unconvicted\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bill that could help thousands of Californians overcome a persistent obstacle to getting a job or housing is heading to Governor Jerry Brown’s desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB393\">SB 393\u003c/a> aims to address problems faced by people\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">who were arrested but not \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">convicted\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of a crime, yet still find that potential employers, landlords and others have access to their court records.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Senate Bill 393, the so-called California Arrest Record Equity (CARE) Act, most of these people will be able to file a petition asking the court to seal their records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was sponsored by San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon.

It passed out of the state Assembly on Wednesday on a 60-18 vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is home to 20 percent of the nation’s homeless population and one-third of the nation’s chronically homeless population,” Chiu said in a statement. “We need to bring significant and innovative solutions to address this crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation takes a ‘housing first’ approach, with the idea that permanent housing will \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/03/california-taps-health-care-money-to-pay-for-homeless-services/\">provide a stable setting\u003c/a> where homeless Californians can access medical and supportive services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill initially sought to use state general fund money to pay for the rental assistance, but that Assembly proposal didn’t survive negotiations with the governor and Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, funding in the bill will come from the federal Housing Trust Fund program, which could place the initiative on shakier ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Housing Trust Fund sent $10.1 million to California last year, but the Trump administration has proposed \u003ca href=\"https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=SOHUDtestFY18Budget_House.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eliminating the program\u003c/a> from the Housing and Urban Development Department budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, advocates remained optimistic that the bill will promote the cooperation between housing and health care agencies that they believe will benefit homeless residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a home of their own will provide the stability they need to pursue regular, preventive and effective care and that means healthier people and lower costs,” said Sharon Rapport, Associate Director at the Corporation for Supportive Housing, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5 p.m. Wednesday: Landmark Prescription Drug Measure Heads to Governor’s Desk\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bill to increase transparency on prescription drugs passed out of the Senate over the strong objections of the pharmaceutical industry and now heads to Gov.

Ricardo Lara, both Democrats, looks to change that. It would move California's primary from June to March, giving voters a head start in selecting nominees for president in 2020. It could also set off an arms race among states over which will vote earliest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're the most populous state in the nation, the most diverse state in the nation, with the largest economy of any state in the nation,\" says Padilla. \"We should have much more of a say in who the nominees for president are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not a novel idea in California. The state has moved its primary to March, in 1996, 2000 and 2004, always for similar reasons. In 2008, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/30/us/california-moves-to-reschedule-its-primary-from-march-to-june.html\">the state held its presidential primary in February\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will encourage presidential candidates to campaign here and to debate and discuss issues and policies important to our people,\" former state Sen. Ron Calderon said in 2007, advocating for his bill to move the primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Republican Party chair Jim Brulte says there are downsides to moving up—one reason the state has always come back to its traditional June election slot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everything else gets backed up correspondingly,\" Brulte says. \"Fundraising has to start earlier, organizational development has to start earlier. And then you have a huge gap from March until the November election.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte also suggested moving the state's primary to March could benefit Sen. Kamala Harris, the state's junior U.S. senator who's been mentioned as a potential candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the 2007 measure, California held two primaries the following year—the presidential primary in February, and then state races in June. Holding an extra election cost nearly $100 million more, and turnout in June was abysmal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, on balance, Brulte also supports a single, consolidated early primary and as a member of the state legislature, he voted for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't want a candidate just doing a drive by campaign in your state,\" Brulte says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last times California has moved its primaries, it did not have the effect lawmakers desired, says political scientist Josh Putnam, who writes the blog \u003ca href=\"http://frontloading.blogspot.com/\">FrontloadingHQ\u003c/a> about presidential party rules and primary elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The times in the past where they have moved up, it's been a super-crowded week,\" Putnam says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smaller states have moved up their primaries so they don't get left behind —and then Putnam says candidates still avoid California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, it's not a situation where you can just drop-in on California in a week's time and campaign across a very big area, and a very diverse and populous state on top of that,\" Putnam says. \"It's expensive to do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should the California measure become law, Putnam expects a new round of jockeying among states for the right to go ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim Alexander, the voter advocate, says even so, the state has little choice but to shift its primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's no guarantee, but if we keep our primary in June, we are guaranteed that we're not going to have a voice,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure is expected to come up for final votes before the Legislature adjourns for the year on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The state has moved its primary to March, in 1996, 2000 and 2004, always for similar reasons. In 2008, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/30/us/california-moves-to-reschedule-its-primary-from-march-to-june.html\">the state held its presidential primary in February\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will encourage presidential candidates to campaign here and to debate and discuss issues and policies important to our people,\" former state Sen. Ron Calderon said in 2007, advocating for his bill to move the primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Republican Party chair Jim Brulte says there are downsides to moving up—one reason the state has always come back to its traditional June election slot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everything else gets backed up correspondingly,\" Brulte says. \"Fundraising has to start earlier, organizational development has to start earlier. And then you have a huge gap from March until the November election.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte also suggested moving the state's primary to March could benefit Sen. Kamala Harris, the state's junior U.S. senator who's been mentioned as a potential candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the 2007 measure, California held two primaries the following year—the presidential primary in February, and then state races in June. Holding an extra election cost nearly $100 million more, and turnout in June was abysmal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, on balance, Brulte also supports a single, consolidated early primary and as a member of the state legislature, he voted for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't want a candidate just doing a drive by campaign in your state,\" Brulte says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last times California has moved its primaries, it did not have the effect lawmakers desired, says political scientist Josh Putnam, who writes the blog \u003ca href=\"http://frontloading.blogspot.com/\">FrontloadingHQ\u003c/a> about presidential party rules and primary elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The times in the past where they have moved up, it's been a super-crowded week,\" Putnam says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smaller states have moved up their primaries so they don't get left behind —and then Putnam says candidates still avoid California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, it's not a situation where you can just drop-in on California in a week's time and campaign across a very big area, and a very diverse and populous state on top of that,\" Putnam says. \"It's expensive to do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should the California measure become law, Putnam expects a new round of jockeying among states for the right to go ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim Alexander, the voter advocate, says even so, the state has little choice but to shift its primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's no guarantee, but if we keep our primary in June, we are guaranteed that we're not going to have a voice,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure is expected to come up for final votes before the Legislature adjourns for the year on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
