Young people who met certain criteria were allowed to apply for temporary legal status and a work permit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move was controversial from the beginning. Even as he was announcing the program in the White House Rose Garden, Obama was interrupted by a writer from the conservative Daily Caller website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Why do you favor foreigners over Americans?\" asked Neil Munro, a question that would foreshadow Trump's \"America First\" rhetoric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roy Beck, head of the group NumbersUSA, which favors limited immigration, worried that giving work permits to DREAMers would cost native-born residents jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is there anybody in America who believes that the 20 million unemployed or underemployed Americans need more competition?\" Beck asked in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unemployment rate at the time was 8.2 percent. It's since been cut nearly in half to 4.4 percent, despite the DREAMers' presence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Sessions argued Tuesday that Obama's order had \"denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same illegal aliens to take those jobs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama rejected that sentiment five years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes no sense to expel talented young people who, for all intents and purposes, are Americans,\" he said in 2012. \"These young people are going to make extraordinary contributions, and are already making contributions to our society.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama echoed that sentiment Tuesday in his Facebook post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whatever concerns or complaints Americans may have about immigration in general, we shouldn't threaten the future of this group of young people who are here through no fault of their own,\" Obama wrote. \"Kicking them out won't lower the unemployment rate, or lighten anyone's taxes, or raise anybody's wages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

But she said, “No new initial requests or associated applications filed after today will be acted on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump signaled the decision earlier on Tuesday, tweeting, “Congress, get ready to do your job – DACA.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Congress, get ready to do your job – DACA!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/905038986883850240\">September 5, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>State politicians and officials reacted swiftly to the news. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DACA recipients make our nation strong and represent the best of America. The President’s decision undermines our nation’s values and is a cruel betrayal to the more than 800,000 young people, including more than 200,000 Californians, who have only ever known the United States of America as their home,” Sen. Kamala Harris said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of California President Janet Napolitano released a statement urging Congress to pass legislation providing a permanent solution for the thousands who are now without a path to citizenship. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Obama \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155227588436749\">issued a statement on Facebook\u003c/a>, calling the decision “cruel” and “self-defeating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be clear: the action taken today isn’t required legally. It’s a political decision, and a moral question,” he said. Obama added, “Whatever concerns or complaints Americans may have about immigration in general, we shouldn’t threaten the future of this group of young people who are here through no fault of their own, who pose no threat, who are not taking away anything from the rest of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca#guidelines\">DACA\u003c/a> allowed individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children or teens before mid-2007 to apply for protection from deportation and work permits if they met certain requirements. Beneficiaries had to be under the age of 16 upon entering the country; no older than 31 as of June 15, 2012; lived continuously in the U.S. since mid-2007; be enrolled in high school or college, already have a diploma or degree, have a GED certificate or be an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. military; and have no felony criminal convictions, significant misdemeanor convictions, no more than three other misdemeanor convictions or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program did not provide lawful immigration status. Instead, through what the Obama administration characterized as the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, it granted a deferral from possibly being removed from the U.S. to those who qualified; it also granted work permits. The deferrals and permits were granted for two-year periods and could be renewed for additional two-year periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says its enforcement priorities have not changed. It has no plans to target DACA holders as their permits expire. They will be eligible for deportation but a low priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USCIS generally has not referred cases in which a person’s DACA application is denied to immigration enforcement authorities unless the case involves a criminal offense, fraud or a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “DREAMers” had been in legal limbo since the start of the current administration. Throughout his campaign, Trump railed against the 2012 executive order signed by President Obama — and pledged to “immediately terminate the policy” once he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after being sworn in, he expressed some compassion toward DACA recipients. In an interview with ABC News on Jan. 25, \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-abc-news-anchor-david-muir-interviews-president/story?id=45047602\">Trump said\u003c/a>, “They shouldn’t be very worried. I do have a big heart. We’re going to take care of everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama program was thrown into the center of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/04/541675160/immigrant-advocates-prepare-for-threats-against-daca-program\">looming court battle\u003c/a> in late June when a coalition of 10 state attorneys general, led by Texas’ Ken Paxton, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/29/texas-attorney-general-end-daca-dreamers-240121\">threatened to sue the Trump administration\u003c/a> as early as Sept. 5 if it refused to phase out DACA. They argued that Obama had overstepped his authority in creating and implementing the program. Only Congress has the authority to legislate such a change in U.S. immigration law, they contended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[T]he program represents an unconstitutional exercise of legislative power by the Executive Branch,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/07/26/trump-not-king-we-must-phase-out-daca-and-return-rule-law-column/488732001/\">Paxton wrote in an op-ed\u003c/a> for \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em> in late July. “Phasing out DACA is about the rule of law, not the wisdom of any particular immigration policy,” Paxton also wrote at the time before emphasizing the principle of separation of powers at the heart of the structure of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Jeff Sessions had advocated for the termination of DACA but, \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/steve-bannon-helped-preserve-daca-but-democrats-and-activist?utm_term=.crnEpe4OAq#.wapE4R1M8W\">as BuzzFeed reported in March\u003c/a>, he was often out-argued by former chief of staff Reince Priebus and former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who like Trump, wanted to see it preserved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon, who held hardline views on immigration that aligned more closely with Sessions on other policy issues, reportedly had convinced the president to spare DREAMers and use them “as a strategic asset in the coming immigration policy battles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Bannon and Priebus now gone from the West Wing, it appears the position held by Sessions and Stephen Miller, another Trump White House aide with ties to Sessions, has won out — under the pressure exerted by Paxton and some of his fellow state attorneys general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s decision leaves Congress facing increasing pressure to find a solution for a population that was estimated in 2012 to include as many as \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/who-and-where-dreamers-are-revised-estimates\">1.8 million immigrants\u003c/a> — of which \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/01/05/unauthorized-immigrants-covered-by-daca-face-uncertain-future/\">about 800,000\u003c/a> have been granted deferred status under DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11615500\" 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/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"People attend an orientation class in filing out their application for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles in August 2012 in Los Angeles.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11615500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-375x210.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People attend an orientation class in filing out their application for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles in August 2012 in Los Angeles. \u003ccite>(Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At the moment there are at least two bipartisan bills that could grant legal status or create a pathway to citizenship for those who were eligible for DACA. In July, Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/immigration/durbin-graham-file-dream-act-hoping-to-ward-off-legal-challenge-to-daca/2017/07/20/19ade326-6cd4-11e7-b9e2-2056e768a7e5_story.html?utm_term=.26133572cba2\">introduced\u003c/a> a new version of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1615/text\">DREAM Act\u003c/a>, after which the DREAMers are named. And a companion bill was filed in the House by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., and Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., introduced the \u003ca href=\"https://gutierrez.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/american-hope-act-introduced-protect-immigrant-youth-and-those-daca\">American Hope Act\u003c/a>. While Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., introduced the \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article137589403.html\">Recognizing America’s Children Act\u003c/a>, a plan that has some support in his party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin introduced an earlier version of the DREAM Act — the “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act” — in late 2010; that bill \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2011/07/did-obama-enact-dream-act/\">failed to get enough votes to allow a floor vote\u003c/a>. But the legislative project goes back much longer than the middle of Obama’s first term as president. Durbin first filed legislation about the DREAMers in 2001. “Other versions passed the House in 2010 and in the Senate, as part of a larger immigration bill, in 2013. But no bill has ever been passed by both chambers,”\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/immigration/durbin-graham-file-dream-act-hoping-to-ward-off-legal-challenge-to-daca/2017/07/20/19ade326-6cd4-11e7-b9e2-2056e768a7e5_story.html?utm_term=.4771d1544ae9\"> according to the Washington Post\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, Obama stepped in with the DACA program when Congress failed to pass a version of the DREAM Act then. At the time, \u003ca href=\"https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2012/06/15/remarks-president-immigration\">Obama justified his action saying\u003c/a>, “These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they’re friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with Wisconsin talk radio WCLO on Friday, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/09/01/547853006/white-house-weighs-daca-s-fate-leaving-advocates-and-immigrants-in-limbo\">said that he opposes the Trump administration ending DACA\u003c/a> and that it is up to Congress to find a legislative fix to the question of what to do with the DREAMers. The speaker said that Obama was wrong to act without Congress and that Trump should defer to Congress to fix the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having said all of that there are people who are in limbo. These are kids who know no other country, who were brought here by their parents and don’t know another home,” Ryan said. “And so I really do believe there needs to be a legislative solution, that’s one that we’re working on, and I think we want to give people peace of mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to Ryan’s comments, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote Ryan, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/01/nancy-pelosi-paul-ryan-dreamers-242265\">according to Politico\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.democraticleader.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/NoReplySharpCopier@US.HOUSE_.GOV_20170901_160209.pdf\">asking that he meet with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and other House Democratic leaders\u003c/a> “to discuss a comprehensive legislative solution for our country’s DREAMers.” In her letter, the top Democrat in the House also said legislative action was necessary “to shield … [the] DREAMers from the arbitrary cruelty of deportation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever Congress may do, another potential consequence of Trump’s action is that it is likely to bring his predecessor, who is arguably the country’s most high-profile Democrat, back into the political debate over the fate of the DREAMers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his final news conference as president and just days before Trump was inaugurated, Obama said he would remain largely silent for the next year on most political issues — with a few exceptions where the nation’s “core values” might be at stake, in his view. Among those, was taking action against the DREAMers, including deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The notion that we would just arbitrarily or because of politics punish those kids, when they didn’t do something themselves … would merit my speaking out,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-trailguide-updates-obama-says-he-would-speak-out-if-trump-1484769700-htmlstory.html\">he said\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/905038986883850240\">September 5, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>State politicians and officials reacted swiftly to the news. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DACA recipients make our nation strong and represent the best of America. The President’s decision undermines our nation’s values and is a cruel betrayal to the more than 800,000 young people, including more than 200,000 Californians, who have only ever known the United States of America as their home,” Sen. Kamala Harris said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of California President Janet Napolitano released a statement urging Congress to pass legislation providing a permanent solution for the thousands who are now without a path to citizenship. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Obama \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155227588436749\">issued a statement on Facebook\u003c/a>, calling the decision “cruel” and “self-defeating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be clear: the action taken today isn’t required legally. It’s a political decision, and a moral question,” he said. Obama added, “Whatever concerns or complaints Americans may have about immigration in general, we shouldn’t threaten the future of this group of young people who are here through no fault of their own, who pose no threat, who are not taking away anything from the rest of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca#guidelines\">DACA\u003c/a> allowed individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children or teens before mid-2007 to apply for protection from deportation and work permits if they met certain requirements. Beneficiaries had to be under the age of 16 upon entering the country; no older than 31 as of June 15, 2012; lived continuously in the U.S. since mid-2007; be enrolled in high school or college, already have a diploma or degree, have a GED certificate or be an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. military; and have no felony criminal convictions, significant misdemeanor convictions, no more than three other misdemeanor convictions or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program did not provide lawful immigration status. Instead, through what the Obama administration characterized as the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, it granted a deferral from possibly being removed from the U.S. to those who qualified; it also granted work permits. The deferrals and permits were granted for two-year periods and could be renewed for additional two-year periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says its enforcement priorities have not changed. It has no plans to target DACA holders as their permits expire. They will be eligible for deportation but a low priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USCIS generally has not referred cases in which a person’s DACA application is denied to immigration enforcement authorities unless the case involves a criminal offense, fraud or a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “DREAMers” had been in legal limbo since the start of the current administration. Throughout his campaign, Trump railed against the 2012 executive order signed by President Obama — and pledged to “immediately terminate the policy” once he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after being sworn in, he expressed some compassion toward DACA recipients. In an interview with ABC News on Jan. 25, \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-abc-news-anchor-david-muir-interviews-president/story?id=45047602\">Trump said\u003c/a>, “They shouldn’t be very worried. I do have a big heart. We’re going to take care of everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama program was thrown into the center of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/04/541675160/immigrant-advocates-prepare-for-threats-against-daca-program\">looming court battle\u003c/a> in late June when a coalition of 10 state attorneys general, led by Texas’ Ken Paxton, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/29/texas-attorney-general-end-daca-dreamers-240121\">threatened to sue the Trump administration\u003c/a> as early as Sept. 5 if it refused to phase out DACA. They argued that Obama had overstepped his authority in creating and implementing the program. Only Congress has the authority to legislate such a change in U.S. immigration law, they contended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[T]he program represents an unconstitutional exercise of legislative power by the Executive Branch,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/07/26/trump-not-king-we-must-phase-out-daca-and-return-rule-law-column/488732001/\">Paxton wrote in an op-ed\u003c/a> for \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em> in late July. “Phasing out DACA is about the rule of law, not the wisdom of any particular immigration policy,” Paxton also wrote at the time before emphasizing the principle of separation of powers at the heart of the structure of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Jeff Sessions had advocated for the termination of DACA but, \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/steve-bannon-helped-preserve-daca-but-democrats-and-activist?utm_term=.crnEpe4OAq#.wapE4R1M8W\">as BuzzFeed reported in March\u003c/a>, he was often out-argued by former chief of staff Reince Priebus and former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who like Trump, wanted to see it preserved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon, who held hardline views on immigration that aligned more closely with Sessions on other policy issues, reportedly had convinced the president to spare DREAMers and use them “as a strategic asset in the coming immigration policy battles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Bannon and Priebus now gone from the West Wing, it appears the position held by Sessions and Stephen Miller, another Trump White House aide with ties to Sessions, has won out — under the pressure exerted by Paxton and some of his fellow state attorneys general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s decision leaves Congress facing increasing pressure to find a solution for a population that was estimated in 2012 to include as many as \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/who-and-where-dreamers-are-revised-estimates\">1.8 million immigrants\u003c/a> — of which \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/01/05/unauthorized-immigrants-covered-by-daca-face-uncertain-future/\">about 800,000\u003c/a> have been granted deferred status under DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11615500\" 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/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"People attend an orientation class in filing out their application for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles in August 2012 in Los Angeles.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11615500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-375x210.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People attend an orientation class in filing out their application for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles in August 2012 in Los Angeles. \u003ccite>(Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At the moment there are at least two bipartisan bills that could grant legal status or create a pathway to citizenship for those who were eligible for DACA. In July, Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/immigration/durbin-graham-file-dream-act-hoping-to-ward-off-legal-challenge-to-daca/2017/07/20/19ade326-6cd4-11e7-b9e2-2056e768a7e5_story.html?utm_term=.26133572cba2\">introduced\u003c/a> a new version of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1615/text\">DREAM Act\u003c/a>, after which the DREAMers are named. And a companion bill was filed in the House by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., and Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., introduced the \u003ca href=\"https://gutierrez.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/american-hope-act-introduced-protect-immigrant-youth-and-those-daca\">American Hope Act\u003c/a>. While Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., introduced the \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article137589403.html\">Recognizing America’s Children Act\u003c/a>, a plan that has some support in his party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin introduced an earlier version of the DREAM Act — the “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act” — in late 2010; that bill \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2011/07/did-obama-enact-dream-act/\">failed to get enough votes to allow a floor vote\u003c/a>. But the legislative project goes back much longer than the middle of Obama’s first term as president. Durbin first filed legislation about the DREAMers in 2001. “Other versions passed the House in 2010 and in the Senate, as part of a larger immigration bill, in 2013. But no bill has ever been passed by both chambers,”\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/immigration/durbin-graham-file-dream-act-hoping-to-ward-off-legal-challenge-to-daca/2017/07/20/19ade326-6cd4-11e7-b9e2-2056e768a7e5_story.html?utm_term=.4771d1544ae9\"> according to the Washington Post\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, Obama stepped in with the DACA program when Congress failed to pass a version of the DREAM Act then. At the time, \u003ca href=\"https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2012/06/15/remarks-president-immigration\">Obama justified his action saying\u003c/a>, “These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they’re friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with Wisconsin talk radio WCLO on Friday, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/09/01/547853006/white-house-weighs-daca-s-fate-leaving-advocates-and-immigrants-in-limbo\">said that he opposes the Trump administration ending DACA\u003c/a> and that it is up to Congress to find a legislative fix to the question of what to do with the DREAMers. The speaker said that Obama was wrong to act without Congress and that Trump should defer to Congress to fix the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having said all of that there are people who are in limbo. These are kids who know no other country, who were brought here by their parents and don’t know another home,” Ryan said. “And so I really do believe there needs to be a legislative solution, that’s one that we’re working on, and I think we want to give people peace of mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to Ryan’s comments, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote Ryan, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/01/nancy-pelosi-paul-ryan-dreamers-242265\">according to Politico\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.democraticleader.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/NoReplySharpCopier@US.HOUSE_.GOV_20170901_160209.pdf\">asking that he meet with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and other House Democratic leaders\u003c/a> “to discuss a comprehensive legislative solution for our country’s DREAMers.” In her letter, the top Democrat in the House also said legislative action was necessary “to shield … [the] DREAMers from the arbitrary cruelty of deportation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever Congress may do, another potential consequence of Trump’s action is that it is likely to bring his predecessor, who is arguably the country’s most high-profile Democrat, back into the political debate over the fate of the DREAMers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his final news conference as president and just days before Trump was inaugurated, Obama said he would remain largely silent for the next year on most political issues — with a few exceptions where the nation’s “core values” might be at stake, in his view. Among those, was taking action against the DREAMers, including deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The notion that we would just arbitrarily or because of politics punish those kids, when they didn’t do something themselves … would merit my speaking out,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-trailguide-updates-obama-says-he-would-speak-out-if-trump-1484769700-htmlstory.html\">he said\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Last year, a similar measure was \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2016/08/17/california-drug-prices-transparency/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">changed so significantly that its author walked away.\u003c/a> But this time, Sen.

San Mateo Sen. Jerry Hill said he’s surprised it was killed, noting the bill simply asked police departments to make clear their rules for rapidly developing technologies, including body cameras, GPS systems and software for tracking social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The conclusion I came to was that they are developing this technology faster than I can write legislation, so let’s have one overriding policy and law that would require new technology to go through this same procedure so that the public has the right and opportunity to become involved in the conversation,\" Hill said after the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>SB 188: Prohibiting Offshore Pipelines\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB188\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bill introduced in response\u003c/a> to President Trump’s executive order to \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/04/28/new-oil-drilling-off-california-coast-trump-signs-order-seeking-to-expand-drilling/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">open the door to oil drilling off the California coast\u003c/a> won't move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Barbara Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson’s bill wouldn't have prevented the federal government from approving drilling -- but it would have made it harder for companies to get the oil by prohibiting the state from approving new pipelines in its offshore waters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>SB 384: Extending Alcohol Sales Until 4 a.m.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A bill\u003c/a> to let local communities permit alcohol sales until 4 a.m. wasn’t killed, but was changed beyond recognition: The Assembly Appropriations Committee amended San Francisco Sen.

There's nothing radical about letting local communities decide for themselves whether to let their bars and nightclubs go later.

A proposal by L.A. city officials to charge developers a so-called linkage fee to pay for affordable units has the widespread support of housing advocates who turned out by the dozens for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/08/23/74894/fee-on-new-construction-in-la-up-for-council-vote/\">recent hearing\u003c/a> to show their support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same advocates are pressing the city to adopt \"inclusionary zoning,\" which would force developers who build market-rate housing to designate a certain percentage of their units for subsidized housing. Santa Monica \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/07/31/74251/developers-in-santa-monica-face-experiment-in-prov/\">recently adopted\u003c/a> a version of inclusionary zoning and plans to monitor its impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocate Neil McGuffin of the Little Tokyo Service Center said that state and local leaders need to encourage affordable housing to prevent the displacement of longtime residents that's taken place in neighborhoods like Little Tokyo in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RPg3Lh19ATLPyViRl8lJBGmqdWPgXtHQ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s been about a thousand units of housing developed and that housing is not affordable for people who are living or have lived in the community,\" McGuffin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abundant Housing agrees that funding affordable housing is critical but warns both a linkage fee and inclusionary zoning will only add to construction costs, and stop projects from getting built. The group would rather raise the money for affordable housing by increasing the city's real estate transfer fees or coax developers into constructing more below-market units in exchange for more building height through what’s called density bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want to provide a carrot to incentivize people to build as much affordable housing as possible and at the same time build as much market–rate housing as we can,\" Gaisford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaisford acknowledged that density bonus programs could be improved.

"content": "\u003cp>We’ve all heard that robots are taking our jobs, right? Well, there’s a takeout joint in Mountain View where robots help make the pizza, and it illustrates how automation could impact the food industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi0nOL4noLWAhUCslQKHacYCEgQFggnMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fzumepizza.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNH-ocVgDaQYbJHp5ooD18fTYe4Qew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zume\u003c/a> is tucked into an office park and it only delivers pizza. Its brand is about being healthy and locally sourced, and Zume pays for the better ingredients in part by saving on labor costs in the kitchen, says \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jakeycollins?lang=en\">Julia Collins\u003c/a>, co-founder and co-CEO of Zume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a lot of ways it looks like a traditional kitchen,” Collins says as she shows me around Zume’s kitchen. “But what you’ve never seen before is a robot-enabled pizza assembly line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins walks me down the line. The first thing you notice is there are people working on the line. They make about $18 an hour, and one of them is Jose Lopez. He’s holding a mound of dough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So Jose has taken our dough, and he’s using this dough bot to press the dough out,” Collins says, as Lopez places the dough into a rectangular machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, instead of throwing the dough into the air to make a pie, at Zume a “dough bot” presses it into one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s nine times faster than doing it manually,” Collins says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez takes the 14-inch sheet of dough and places it onto a conveyer belt. A stainless-steel dispenser squirts tomato sauce onto the middle of the pie. Then it moves to a second machine, which spreads the sauce. Most of the machines on the line are centrally wired into a computerized brain, which keeps track of the pizza orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/08/PizzaRobots.mp3\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then human beings put the toppings on the pizza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we first looked at this line, we did think of automating these steps as well,” Collins says. But picking up toppings takes dexterity and a soft touch. Human hands are the best tools for that task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is probably the favorite robot of everyone. His name is Bruno,” Collins says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruno is a large automated arm. But where there might be a hand, there’s a large pan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve seen this robot stacking pallets or moving tons of machinery,” Collins says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Zume, Bruno has been reprogrammed to place pizza in the oven. The pizza glides off the conveyer belt into its tray, and then Bruno lifts its arm and slides the pizza into the 800-degree oven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins says the assembly line was designed for machines and people to work side by side. And when possible, Zume “outsources” the more dangerous or repetitive tasks to machines like Bruno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Chui is with McKinsey Global Institute and he co-authored \u003ca href=\"http://www.mckinsey.com/global-themes/digital-disruption/harnessing-automation-for-a-future-that-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a big study on automation\u003c/a>. His research found that the food service industry was ripe for automation. Chui says you can see why the food industry is ripe for automation at places like Zume. For one thing, much of the technology already exists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are sensors that can measure the temperature, arms that move and can pick up food,” Chui says. Like Bruno. Still, Chui says it will be a long time before robots totally replace humans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, the wage within fast-food restaurants tends to be relatively low,” Chui says. “And for it to make economic sense to bring in robots, you actually have to see these robots have a lower cost per hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So until robots are willing to take a pay cut, humans are safe.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Well, there’s a takeout joint in Mountain View where robots help make the pizza, and it illustrates how automation could impact the food industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi0nOL4noLWAhUCslQKHacYCEgQFggnMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fzumepizza.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNH-ocVgDaQYbJHp5ooD18fTYe4Qew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zume\u003c/a> is tucked into an office park and it only delivers pizza. Its brand is about being healthy and locally sourced, and Zume pays for the better ingredients in part by saving on labor costs in the kitchen, says \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jakeycollins?lang=en\">Julia Collins\u003c/a>, co-founder and co-CEO of Zume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a lot of ways it looks like a traditional kitchen,” Collins says as she shows me around Zume’s kitchen. “But what you’ve never seen before is a robot-enabled pizza assembly line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins walks me down the line. The first thing you notice is there are people working on the line. They make about $18 an hour, and one of them is Jose Lopez. He’s holding a mound of dough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So Jose has taken our dough, and he’s using this dough bot to press the dough out,” Collins says, as Lopez places the dough into a rectangular machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A stainless-steel dispenser squirts tomato sauce onto the middle of the pie. Then it moves to a second machine, which spreads the sauce. Most of the machines on the line are centrally wired into a computerized brain, which keeps track of the pizza orders.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But picking up toppings takes dexterity and a soft touch. Human hands are the best tools for that task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is probably the favorite robot of everyone. His name is Bruno,” Collins says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruno is a large automated arm. But where there might be a hand, there’s a large pan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve seen this robot stacking pallets or moving tons of machinery,” Collins says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Zume, Bruno has been reprogrammed to place pizza in the oven. The pizza glides off the conveyer belt into its tray, and then Bruno lifts its arm and slides the pizza into the 800-degree oven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins says the assembly line was designed for machines and people to work side by side. And when possible, Zume “outsources” the more dangerous or repetitive tasks to machines like Bruno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Chui is with McKinsey Global Institute and he co-authored \u003ca href=\"http://www.mckinsey.com/global-themes/digital-disruption/harnessing-automation-for-a-future-that-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a big study on automation\u003c/a>. His research found that the food service industry was ripe for automation. Chui says you can see why the food industry is ripe for automation at places like Zume. For one thing, much of the technology already exists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are sensors that can measure the temperature, arms that move and can pick up food,” Chui says. Like Bruno. Still, Chui says it will be a long time before robots totally replace humans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, the wage within fast-food restaurants tends to be relatively low,” Chui says. “And for it to make economic sense to bring in robots, you actually have to see these robots have a lower cost per hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So until robots are willing to take a pay cut, humans are safe.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Another of his daughters videotaped the arrest, crying as she did so, and the video took off on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=MDHM7Ef59FQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates viewed his case as heralding a return to a more aggressive immigration enforcement under President Trump. During the Obama administration, immigration agents focused largely on those with serious criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avelica-Gonzalez had two minor convictions, a 2008 DUI and a 19-year-old conviction for receiving stolen property, a vehicle registration sticker that was not legally his. Both convictions made him deportable, but were set aside by a judge earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then earlier this month, the federal Board of Immigration Appeals \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/11/appeals-panel-tosses-out-deportation-order-against-immigrant-dad/\" target=\"_blank\">vacated the deportation order\u003c/a> against him and sent his case back to the Los Angeles immigration court to be reconsidered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, the bond decision allowed him to return home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avelica-Gonzalez said Thursday that the past six months were tough. He suffers from diabetes, which he was treated for but which he said worsened while he was in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The medical attention there takes a long time, they don’t pay enough attention, to tell the truth,” he said. “Sometimes I felt really sick. Only when they see that you are really sick, that you’re lying on the floor, that is when they pay attention to you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were times that deportation to Mexico seemed imminent. But Avelica-Gonzalez said he never lost faith that he’d be reunited with his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never lost hope, I never lost faith that I would be with my family because of all they were doing for me, how they were fighting for me,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrest video that drew attention to his case was taken by his daughter Fatima, 13 at the time. She and her siblings continued pushing for her father’s release, aided by immigrant advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to Washington, D.C., I talked to congressmen, I went to Sacramento and I talked to the governor,” said Fatima Avelica, now 14. “We did a lot of stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that she has her dad back at home, “I feel very happy,” Fatima said. “The past six months have been very difficult for me and my family…now that I have him back with me, it’s very exciting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avelica-Gonzalez said he hopes to be able to stay in the country legally and obtain a work permit. He and his wife, Norma Avelica, are seeking permanent legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration officials said they could not comment on his case.\u003c/p>\n\n",
