"content": "\u003cp>Four out of five older Americans with hearing loss just ignore it, in part because a hearing aid is an unwelcome sign of aging. But what if hearing aids looked like stylish fashion accessories and could be bought at your local pharmacy like reading glasses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the vision of Kristen \"KR\" Liu, who's the director of accessibility and advocacy for Doppler Labs, a company marketing one of these devices. She thinks a hearing aid could be \"something that's hip and cool and people have multiple pairs and it's fashionable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu, who has severe hearing loss herself, helped design a device designed to let people with hearing loss blend in. One person may be using the technology to stream music or take a phone call, she says. Another may be wearing it to amplify speech and hear the conversation. \"And no one is going to know the difference,\" Liu says. \"So you're wearing technology in your ear, proudly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The device is a small circular instrument that fits snugly in the ear. It can be adjusted to individual hearing using a smartphone app to control volume, cut out background noise or turn up the sound in a theater. \"It's pretty much a hearing aid,\" says Liu, except the company isn't allowed to call it that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates medical devices, doesn't allow hearing aids to be sold over the counter. So devices sold directly to consumers are marketed as \"personal sound amplification products,\" or PSAPs. They range in price from about $250 to $350 and are considerably cheaper than hearing aids, which can cost up to $6,000 and are typically not covered by Medicare or most private insurance companies. Hearing aids are customized by a hearing specialist such as an audiologist, following a hearing test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PSAPs can only be marketed as sound amplifiers for people with normal hearing who want to make things louder, like music or the sounds of birds chirping. Hearing loss advocates believe this means people with mild to moderate hearing loss who could benefit from the devices don't know about them. There are dozens of the devices on the market, but their quality varies wildly, as an analysis of 11 of them last year for hearing care professionals shows. And there's no easy way for potential purchasers to figure out which work best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hearing Loss Association of America, a consumer group, wants Congress to create a new category of aids for people with mild to moderate hearing loss by passing the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of2017. (People with severe hearing loss would still need to be seen by a medical professional.) The bill would direct the FDA to come up with safety and effectiveness standards for these new hearing aids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA is already moving in that direction, and in December said it would no longer require adults to be medically evaluated before buying a hearing aid. Proponents of direct-to-consumer sales hope Congressional action would get the FDA moving faster. A 2016 report from the National Academies of Sciences also endorsed allowing over-the-counter sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could be life changing for people with hearing loss, says Richard Einhorn, a composer of modern classical music who is on the board of the Hearing Loss Association of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early one morning in 2010, he woke up with his ears ringing — a loud, piercing hiss. \"I hit the panic button,\" Einhorn says. \"I jumped out of bed and immediately fell over onto the floor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An inner ear infection, likely a virus, had caused him to lose his balance. He went deaf in his right ear. He already had some hearing loss in his left ear. His hearing aids cost $5,000 and were not covered by insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm a composer, for goodness sake,\" Einhorn says. \"This is not an easy purchase to scrounge up the money for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opening up the hearing aid market would foster competition and drive prices down, says Einhorn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also encourage companies to come up with new and better products, says Liu. She envisions a future that solves one of the biggest problems for many people – hearing in a noisy environment, like a party or a busy restaurant. She wants a hearing aid that would automatically adjust to different sound environments, so she could hear the person talking to her and not the background distraction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nothing like that exists today,\" Liu says. \"But I very much see something like that down the road.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some audio specialists support rolling back regulations, while others are skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing loss is complex, says Neil DiSarno, chief staff officer for audiology at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. This makes it difficult for consumers to \"self-evaluate, self-treat and self-monitor,\" he says. If people buy their hearing aids directly over the counter, they'll miss out on all the skills audiologists can teach them, like how to lip read and how to distinguish high frequency sounds, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The market for over-the-counter hearing aids could be huge. More than 35 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. And for older Americans, not dealing with the problem can have a big impact on age-related cognitive decline, says Dr. Frank Lin, associate professor of otolaryngology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Lin has done studies looking at the link between hearing loss and cognitive decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The greater the hearing loss, the greater the risk of loss of thinking and memory abilities over time,\" he says, which can lead to feelings of insecurity and social isolation – a known risk factor for dementia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin says his findings should serve as a \"wake-up call\" for policy makers. If people have easier access to more affordable hearing aids, he says, that could lead to benefits that go far beyond hearing.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The bill would direct the FDA to come up with safety and effectiveness standards for these new hearing aids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA is already moving in that direction, and in December said it would no longer require adults to be medically evaluated before buying a hearing aid. Proponents of direct-to-consumer sales hope Congressional action would get the FDA moving faster. A 2016 report from the National Academies of Sciences also endorsed allowing over-the-counter sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could be life changing for people with hearing loss, says Richard Einhorn, a composer of modern classical music who is on the board of the Hearing Loss Association of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early one morning in 2010, he woke up with his ears ringing — a loud, piercing hiss. \"I hit the panic button,\" Einhorn says. \"I jumped out of bed and immediately fell over onto the floor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An inner ear infection, likely a virus, had caused him to lose his balance. He went deaf in his right ear. He already had some hearing loss in his left ear. His hearing aids cost $5,000 and were not covered by insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm a composer, for goodness sake,\" Einhorn says. \"This is not an easy purchase to scrounge up the money for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opening up the hearing aid market would foster competition and drive prices down, says Einhorn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also encourage companies to come up with new and better products, says Liu. She envisions a future that solves one of the biggest problems for many people – hearing in a noisy environment, like a party or a busy restaurant. She wants a hearing aid that would automatically adjust to different sound environments, so she could hear the person talking to her and not the background distraction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nothing like that exists today,\" Liu says. \"But I very much see something like that down the road.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some audio specialists support rolling back regulations, while others are skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing loss is complex, says Neil DiSarno, chief staff officer for audiology at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. This makes it difficult for consumers to \"self-evaluate, self-treat and self-monitor,\" he says. If people buy their hearing aids directly over the counter, they'll miss out on all the skills audiologists can teach them, like how to lip read and how to distinguish high frequency sounds, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The market for over-the-counter hearing aids could be huge. More than 35 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. And for older Americans, not dealing with the problem can have a big impact on age-related cognitive decline, says Dr. Frank Lin, associate professor of otolaryngology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Lin has done studies looking at the link between hearing loss and cognitive decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The greater the hearing loss, the greater the risk of loss of thinking and memory abilities over time,\" he says, which can lead to feelings of insecurity and social isolation – a known risk factor for dementia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin says his findings should serve as a \"wake-up call\" for policy makers. If people have easier access to more affordable hearing aids, he says, that could lead to benefits that go far beyond hearing.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The FDA recommends that parents talk to a doctor before giving their children such drugs and notes that colds and coughs in kids \"are generally mild and go away in a few days, so they may not need to take any medicine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's announcement was a partial acceptance of 2015 recommendations by an independent advisory committee that recommended the agency restrict prescription of codeine-containing drugs for children and also voted overwhelmingly against over-the-counter sale of codeine-containing cough syrup for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, pharmacist Maria Pruchnicki, an associate professor at the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, told NPR's Rob Stein, \"My concern, were I to be prescribing codeine in children, would be that I would, frankly, kill them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Stein reported, the FDA is not required to follow the committee's 2015 advice, although the agency generally acts in line with advisory committee recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, the agency did act on prescription drugs but did not act on the over-the-counter recommendation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was unclear why more than a year passed between the committee recommendations and their partial adoption by the agency. In a press briefing, Throckmorton said the agency had received \"additional information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Zuckerman, president of the consumer group National Center for Health Research, called the move a \"long-overdue step to protect our children\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The science is clear, so why did it take almost 18 months since the FDA's public meeting on the exact same issue? FDA needs to do more to warn patients about the known risks of medical products as soon as data are available. A change in the label is important, but unfortunately many doctors and patients don't read these labels. We need a public education campaign to warn parents and nursing women about these risks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, the FDA acknowledged that although tramadol is not approved for use in children, it is used off-label to treat pain in kids. In that warning, the agency noted that some people are what's known as ultra-rapid metabolizers of tramadol and codeine. Those people have a variant of a liver enzyme that breaks down the drugs more quickly, leading to a rapid and potentially dangerous spike in the level of active opioids in the bloodstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The drugs can make their way into breast milk in nursing mothers and potentially harm infants, the FDA warns. The proportion of people with the enzyme variant, which is genetic, is thought to be between 1 and 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because we can't easily determine which children or nursing mothers specifically are at greater risk of ultra-rapid metabolism of codeine or tramadol, we are requiring manufacturers ... to make important labeling changes to protect those children who are at the greatest risk,\" explains Throckmorton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for future action on over-the-counter medicines that contain codeine, the American Academy of Pediatrics has made its position clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a report published last year in the journal Pediatrics, members of the academy's committee on drugs wrote that although over-the-counter cough and cold medicines containing codeine were available in 28 states and Washington, D.C., \"neither the value of suppressing cough nor the effectiveness of codeine in children with acute illnesses has been shown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulators in Europe, Canada and Australia have all restricted the use of medicines containing codeine for children. According to the FDA's public label database, more than 100 medications containing codeine are approved for sale without a prescription in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The FDA recommends that parents talk to a doctor before giving their children such drugs and notes that colds and coughs in kids \"are generally mild and go away in a few days, so they may not need to take any medicine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's announcement was a partial acceptance of 2015 recommendations by an independent advisory committee that recommended the agency restrict prescription of codeine-containing drugs for children and also voted overwhelmingly against over-the-counter sale of codeine-containing cough syrup for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, pharmacist Maria Pruchnicki, an associate professor at the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, told NPR's Rob Stein, \"My concern, were I to be prescribing codeine in children, would be that I would, frankly, kill them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Stein reported, the FDA is not required to follow the committee's 2015 advice, although the agency generally acts in line with advisory committee recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, the agency did act on prescription drugs but did not act on the over-the-counter recommendation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was unclear why more than a year passed between the committee recommendations and their partial adoption by the agency. In a press briefing, Throckmorton said the agency had received \"additional information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Zuckerman, president of the consumer group National Center for Health Research, called the move a \"long-overdue step to protect our children\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The science is clear, so why did it take almost 18 months since the FDA's public meeting on the exact same issue? FDA needs to do more to warn patients about the known risks of medical products as soon as data are available. A change in the label is important, but unfortunately many doctors and patients don't read these labels. We need a public education campaign to warn parents and nursing women about these risks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, the FDA acknowledged that although tramadol is not approved for use in children, it is used off-label to treat pain in kids. In that warning, the agency noted that some people are what's known as ultra-rapid metabolizers of tramadol and codeine. Those people have a variant of a liver enzyme that breaks down the drugs more quickly, leading to a rapid and potentially dangerous spike in the level of active opioids in the bloodstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The drugs can make their way into breast milk in nursing mothers and potentially harm infants, the FDA warns. The proportion of people with the enzyme variant, which is genetic, is thought to be between 1 and 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because we can't easily determine which children or nursing mothers specifically are at greater risk of ultra-rapid metabolism of codeine or tramadol, we are requiring manufacturers ... to make important labeling changes to protect those children who are at the greatest risk,\" explains Throckmorton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for future action on over-the-counter medicines that contain codeine, the American Academy of Pediatrics has made its position clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a report published last year in the journal Pediatrics, members of the academy's committee on drugs wrote that although over-the-counter cough and cold medicines containing codeine were available in 28 states and Washington, D.C., \"neither the value of suppressing cough nor the effectiveness of codeine in children with acute illnesses has been shown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulators in Europe, Canada and Australia have all restricted the use of medicines containing codeine for children. According to the FDA's public label database, more than 100 medications containing codeine are approved for sale without a prescription in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The company wants to respond to keep users happy. \"They want to take things like this down, and they're working really hard to have a good way to do [contextly_sidebar id=\"sJNF7YT3e1qn28khWQFLU1BNpJRdSgPw\"]that,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keller thinks part of Facebook's dilemma is that society isn't sure yet whether the company should be like the phone company, which isn't responsible for what people say, or if it should be like a traditional broadcaster, subject to strict regulations on what can be put on air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I think Facebook isn't really exactly like either of those two things,\" says Keller, \"and that makes it hard as a society to figure out what it is we do want them to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 2 billion people use Facebook each month, and millions of them are uploading videos every day. Facebook also pays media outlets, including NPR, to upload videos. That volume of content makes Facebook's job a lot harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has three ways of monitoring content: There are the users — like the ones who flagged the murder videos from Cleveland. Facebook also has human editors who evaluate flagged content.

Take that iconic naked girl photo from Vietnam, he says. \"Can we detect a nude image? That's something that an algorithm is pretty good at,\" he says. \"Does the algorithm know context and history? That's a much more difficult problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feamster says it's not a problem that's likely to be solved anytime soon. However, he says AI might be able to detect signs of a troublesome account. It's sort of like the way a bank assesses credit ratings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Over time you might learn a so-called prior probability that suggests that maybe this user is more likely to be bad or more likely to be posting inappropriate or unwanted content,\" Feamster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Facebook would keep a closer eye on that account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between artificial intelligence and more human monitoring, it might be possible to stop the posting of criminal videos and hate speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Stanford's Keller wonders if that's really what we want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do we want one of our key platforms for communication with each other to have built-in surveillance and monitoring for illegal activity and somebody deciding when what we said is inappropriate and cutting it off?\" she asks. \"That's kind of a dystopian policy direction as far as I'm concerned.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keller is willing to make a prediction — very soon someone else will upload another video that forces the country to be asking these same questions again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Adyanthaya writes in the caption, “OMG! AA Flight attendant violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the recording does not capture the alleged stroller incident and begins instead with a woman holding a baby and sobbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unidentified male passenger then appears to come to her defense saying, “What’s the guy’s name that did that with the stroller?” An employee comes into the frame and the male passenger says, “You do that to me and I’ll knock you flat.” The two men approach each other, fingers jabbing. The employee repeats, “Hit me,” and the passenger says, “I’ll knock you out.” The captain pulls the employee away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>When President Trump's first immigration order temporarily went into effect on Jan. 27, and we began to see its impact at airports and hear stories about how it was touching many people's lives nationwide, we decided to try to capture some of those tales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We created a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/25/kqed-wants-your-immigration-stories/\">form\u003c/a>, asking people to share their immigration stories, and people did — 56 of them. They mostly weren't stories about the impact of the travel ban. Rather, they were stories that reflect the rich diversity California is known for. They were stories of people whose families had immigrated a generation prior from the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Mexico, India and more. They were tales of people whose parents settled in the U.S. because of conflict in their home country, such as in Iran and El Salvador. They were stories of undocumented youth, known as Dreamers, who had signed up for former President Obama's DACA (or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program — and in one case, a young man who didn't, because he didn't want to be a \"sitting duck\" if Obama's successor didn't keep the program. And there were people who came on work visas, such as the H-1B often used in Silicon Valley, and for love, such as a gay British man who married his American boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside

I graduated in 2011 and since then I've been working as a software engineer. I started my career at a bigger company. I worked there for three years. Since then, I've been working at a smaller startup in Palo Alto for close to three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, as one could imagine, getting admitted to Stanford, with all the tuition taken care of, was a dream come true. I experienced no issues getting my student visa as well. It was great. Up till then, my immigration story was very smooth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only after I graduated from Stanford did I realize the problems associated with working on a work visa in the United States. The system is definitely not encouraging folks to be independent, free, and to move from companies. It's not very straightforward at all. The laws are very complex. For the first few years, it was OK because I was just starting to work for the first time in my life. Immigration was not my primary concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I wanted to switch jobs, that's when I realized how painful it was going to be to even just move from one company to another, let alone starting my own business — which is almost impossible to do. It's been downhill since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country like Canada or Australia, where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is primarily with the green card process. They give out 140,000 green cards* per year; no more than 7 percent can go to one specific country. For people who are born in India, we are looking at a wait time of more than 50 years. I'll probably be 70 or maybe even dead by the time I'm actually eligible to get my green card. That is the biggest issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is also the mobility on the H-1B visa. For example, let's say I want to switch to another company. The company sponsors me, but then I have to go back and start the process all over again (that's generally what happens and in any case, it doesn't change the fact that I'll have to wait so many years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last problem is, for example, let's say I have been here 10 or 15 years, and my company is not doing well. If they lay me off, I have to leave the country within 10 days. I'm basically being penalized because I was born in India. That is the root cause of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country ... where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.'\u003ccite>Gokul Gunasekaran, H-1B visa holder, Sunnyvale\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As far as the executive orders are concerned, I'm kind of scared right now to go back to visit my parents because I'm worried … whether the consulate will actually give me a stamp to come back to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the uncertainties toward travel, whether we will get our visa stamping, whether our work visas will be renewed -- these are all adding quite a bit of anxiety to the high-skilled immigrant community.

They mostly weren't stories about the impact of the travel ban. Rather, they were stories that reflect the rich diversity California is known for. They were stories of people whose families had immigrated a generation prior from the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Mexico, India and more. They were tales of people whose parents settled in the U.S. because of conflict in their home country, such as in Iran and El Salvador. They were stories of undocumented youth, known as Dreamers, who had signed up for former President Obama's DACA (or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program — and in one case, a young man who didn't, because he didn't want to be a \"sitting duck\" if Obama's successor didn't keep the program. And there were people who came on work visas, such as the H-1B often used in Silicon Valley, and for love, such as a gay British man who married his American boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside

I graduated in 2011 and since then I've been working as a software engineer. I started my career at a bigger company. I worked there for three years. Since then, I've been working at a smaller startup in Palo Alto for close to three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, as one could imagine, getting admitted to Stanford, with all the tuition taken care of, was a dream come true. I experienced no issues getting my student visa as well. It was great. Up till then, my immigration story was very smooth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only after I graduated from Stanford did I realize the problems associated with working on a work visa in the United States. The system is definitely not encouraging folks to be independent, free, and to move from companies. It's not very straightforward at all. The laws are very complex. For the first few years, it was OK because I was just starting to work for the first time in my life. Immigration was not my primary concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I wanted to switch jobs, that's when I realized how painful it was going to be to even just move from one company to another, let alone starting my own business — which is almost impossible to do. It's been downhill since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country like Canada or Australia, where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is primarily with the green card process. They give out 140,000 green cards* per year; no more than 7 percent can go to one specific country. For people who are born in India, we are looking at a wait time of more than 50 years. I'll probably be 70 or maybe even dead by the time I'm actually eligible to get my green card. That is the biggest issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is also the mobility on the H-1B visa. For example, let's say I want to switch to another company. The company sponsors me, but then I have to go back and start the process all over again (that's generally what happens and in any case, it doesn't change the fact that I'll have to wait so many years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last problem is, for example, let's say I have been here 10 or 15 years, and my company is not doing well. If they lay me off, I have to leave the country within 10 days. I'm basically being penalized because I was born in India. That is the root cause of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country ... where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.'\u003ccite>Gokul Gunasekaran, H-1B visa holder, Sunnyvale\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As far as the executive orders are concerned, I'm kind of scared right now to go back to visit my parents because I'm worried … whether the consulate will actually give me a stamp to come back to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the uncertainties toward travel, whether we will get our visa stamping, whether our work visas will be renewed -- these are all adding quite a bit of anxiety to the high-skilled immigrant community. That's it in a nutshell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time I go back home or when I talk to my parents, they ask me if I’m close to getting my green card or do I have any permanency and I tell them, “No. It's not happening.” They ask me, “What's the point of all this? Just come back home and stay with us and stay close with family.” That is a decision that's been moving up on my things to do and I'm seriously considering that, unfortunately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system here is totally broken.

He knew he wouldn't be able to support them in Mexico where jobs are really low-paying, so he decided to take a risk that millions of people have taken: jump the border in order to have a better life and higher-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, he had to face major obstacles since he entered the country illegally. He had to survive a two-week trip from his hometown to the border fence. He would then have to take another 24 hours to get through the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His goal was San Francisco since he had friends there, and after a long trip he made it. Eventually, he was able to get his green card and his citizenship, and save enough money for his family back home to build a house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mother was born in El Salvador and immigrated legally by plane at age 25. Her parents were able to apply for a green card before she traveled to the United States and her green card was granted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main reason for her migration was the fact that there was a civil war going on in El Salvador. She knew no one and basically had to start from scratch. Luckily, after about two years, her sister arrived in San Francisco and they were able to help each other out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up in an immigrant family makes me feel fortunate that I had the opportunities to experience different cultures. It also meant that my family was different in a sense that we ate different meals than most of my friends: While they were eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, me and my brother were eating tortillas with beans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also made me want to work harder knowing that my parents went through a hard time coming to the United States for them and their kids to have a better future.
