"content": "\u003cp>President Joe Biden had a question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is it true?” Biden asked Sen. Alex Padilla, referencing the roughly 25% of U.S. students in kindergarten through high school who are Latino. Padilla said the question came as he was waiting with the president in a back room at a library in Culver City, California before an event in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was exactly the kind of opening Padilla was hoping to get with the Democratic president. Biden was weighing his reelection campaign, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-immigration-border-donald-trump-f0ca943f0f148e165bc6e8ebfd149f14\">executive actions on immigration\u003c/a> and what to do about a southern border that has been marked by \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-crossings-mexico-biden-18ac91ef502e0c5433f74de6cc629b32\">historic numbers of illegal crossings\u003c/a> during his tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla wanted to make sure Biden also took into account the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/immigration-jobs-economy-wages-gdp-trump-biden-fbd1f2ec89e84fdfaf81d005054edad0\">potential of the country’s immigrants\u003c/a>. “Mr. President, do you know what I call them, those students?” Padilla recalled saying. “It’s the workforce of tomorrow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was just one of the many times Padilla, who at 52 years old is now the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-california-kamala-harris-gavin-newsom-alex-padilla-60caab4661f65771f8fa21a585de2638\">senior senator of California\u003c/a>, has taken the opportunity — from face-to-face moments with the president to regular calls with top White House staff and sometimes outspoken criticism — to put his stamp on the Democratic Party’s approach to immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The son of Mexican immigrants and the first Latino to represent his state in the Senate, Padilla has emerged as a persistent force at a time when Democrats are increasingly focused on border security and the country’s posture toward immigrants is uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illegal immigration is seen as a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/congress-border-security-democrats-ca10e37c4f961700cdd1645e09422ac0\">growing political crisis for Democrats\u003c/a> after authorities both at the border and in cities nationwide have struggled to handle recent surges. The party may also be losing favor with Hispanic voters amid disenchantment with Biden. But Padilla, in a series of interviews with The Associated Press, expressed a deep reserve of optimism about his party’s ability to win support both from and for immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t be afraid, don’t be reluctant to talk about immigration. Lean into it,” Padilla said. “Because number one, it’s the morally right thing to do. Number two, it is key to the strength, the security and the future of our country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The senator has tried to anchor his fellow Democrats to that stance even as the politics of immigration grow increasingly toxic. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has said immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally are \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/border-immigration-trump-biden-rhetoric-2024-election-327c08045edcc200f850d893de6a79d6\">“poisoning the blood” of the country\u003c/a> and accused Biden of allowing a “bloodbath” at the southern border. Biden, meanwhile, has \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-immigration-asylum-border-congress-7507034034ba49a8f170777600cad46e\">shifted to the right\u003c/a> at times in both the policies and language he is willing to use as illegal border crossings become a vulnerability for his reelection bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such was the case when Biden, during his State of the Union address, entered into an unscripted exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican of Georgia, and referred to a Venezuelan man accused of killing a nursing student in Georgia as an \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/illegal-biden-backlash-laken-riley-41819b01c3942435f0f862789cd1d0f0#:~:text=Politics-,Biden's%20reference%20to%20'an%20illegal'%20rankles%20some%20Democrats%20who%20argue,he's%20still%20preferable%20to%20Trump&text=MIAMI%20(AP)%20%E2%80%94%20President%20Joe,State%20of%20the%20Union%20speech.\">“illegal” — a term anathema to immigration rights advocates\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the speech, Padilla discussed the moment with Rep.

The party may also be losing favor with Hispanic voters amid disenchantment with Biden. But Padilla, in a series of interviews with The Associated Press, expressed a deep reserve of optimism about his party’s ability to win support both from and for immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t be afraid, don’t be reluctant to talk about immigration. Lean into it,” Padilla said. “Because number one, it’s the morally right thing to do. Number two, it is key to the strength, the security and the future of our country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The senator has tried to anchor his fellow Democrats to that stance even as the politics of immigration grow increasingly toxic.

Biden, meanwhile, has \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-immigration-asylum-border-congress-7507034034ba49a8f170777600cad46e\">shifted to the right\u003c/a> at times in both the policies and language he is willing to use as illegal border crossings become a vulnerability for his reelection bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such was the case when Biden, during his State of the Union address, entered into an unscripted exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican of Georgia, and referred to a Venezuelan man accused of killing a nursing student in Georgia as an \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/illegal-biden-backlash-laken-riley-41819b01c3942435f0f862789cd1d0f0#:~:text=Politics-,Biden's%20reference%20to%20'an%20illegal'%20rankles%20some%20Democrats%20who%20argue,he's%20still%20preferable%20to%20Trump&text=MIAMI%20(AP)%20%E2%80%94%20President%20Joe,State%20of%20the%20Union%20speech.\">“illegal” — a term anathema to immigration rights advocates\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the speech, Padilla discussed the moment with Rep.

Ben Ray Luján made similar arguments as he tried to get meetings with top-level White House officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when the talks didn’t seem to make enough difference, the influential lawmakers started leading the open opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A return to Trump-era policies is not the fix,” Padilla said. “In fact, it will make the problem worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla even pulled President \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/joe-biden\">Joe Biden\u003c/a> aside at a fundraiser last weekend in California to warn him “to be careful” of being dragged into “harmful policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Latino senators have found themselves on \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-immigration-asylum-border-congress-7507034034ba49a8f170777600cad46e\">shifting ground\u003c/a> in the debate over immigration as the Democratic president, who is reaching for a border deal as part of his $110 billion package for Ukraine, Israel and other national security needs, has tried to reduce the historic numbers of people arriving at the U.S. border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negotiations, which are expected to continue this weekend at the Capitol, come as the Biden administration has increasingly endured criticism over its handling of border and immigration issues — not just from Republicans, but from members of the president’s own party as well. Democratic cities and states have been vocal about the financial toll that they say migrants have been taking on their resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"US Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.)\"]‘A return to Trump-era policies is not the fix. In fact, it will make the problem worse.’[/pullquote]But left off the table in the talks are pro-immigration changes, such as granting permanent legal status to thousands of immigrants who were brought to the U.S. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-health-access-to-care-business-ca0fad2cc4af777044c1e61b5ec5372e\">illegally as children,\u003c/a> often referred to as “Dreamers,” based on the DREAM Act that would have provided similar protections for young immigrants but was never approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days after his conversation with the president, Padilla, Luján and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), aired their concerns prominently at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus news conference in front of the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They slammed Senate Republicans for demanding the border policy changes in exchange for Ukraine aid, and they criticized Biden for making concessions that they say ultimately undermine the United States’ standing as a country that welcomes immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has promised him and several other senators to allow them to see \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-ukraine-israel-funding-us-mexico-border-e1da808689aeef52308d19010a5e3cfa\">proposals before there is a final agreement.\u003c/a> But Latino lawmakers have largely been left outside the core negotiating group, even as they consistently proposed progressive fixes to the U.S. immigration system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden is facing pressure from all sides. He has been criticized about the record numbers of migrants at the border and he is also trying to address the political weakness before a potential campaign rematch next year with Donald Trump, the former Republican president, who has promised to enact far-right immigration measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11958372,news_11937017,news_11957568,news_11949678,news_11910789\"]And the issue is now tied to a top Biden foreign policy goal: providing robust support for Ukraine’s defense against Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House and Senate leaders are pushing for a framework of the border deal by Sunday, according to one person granted anonymity to discuss the situation. But others cautioned it may take longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently during the negotiations, the White House has pushed to include provisions that would legalize young immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children, according to two people with knowledge of the closed-door talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have demanded several asylum restrictions that Democrats have so far resisted, but the protections for “Dreamers” would be one way for Democrats to secure one of their long-standing immigration priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still disagreements and we continue to work at them,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told reporters after a round of talks Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bipartisan group negotiating the package has acknowledged that it expects to lose votes from both the left and right wings of either party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Regardless of people’s political persuasions, this is a crisis,” said Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona independent who is part of the core negotiating group. “There is nothing that is humane about having thousands of individuals sitting in the desert without access to restrooms or food or water, no shade, just waiting for days to interact with a Border Patrol agent. That’s what’s happening in southern Arizona.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigration advocates have been rallying opposition to the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-congress-humanitarian-parole-asylum-trump-5b5808183c1642bae520b7d9456cc36d\">proposed changes\u003c/a> — often comparing them to Trump-era measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using words like “draconian” and “betrayal,” advocates argued during a Friday call with reporters that the proposals would undermine U.S. commitments to accepting people fleeing persecution and do little to stop people from making the long, dangerous journey to the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the policies under consideration would allow border officials to easily send migrants back to Mexico without letting them seek asylum in America, but advocates argue it could just place them into the hands of dangerous cartels that prey on migrants in northern Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates also say that when the Trump and Biden administrations previously used the expulsion authority on public health grounds during the pandemic, migrants sent back to Mexico didn’t return home. Instead they tried over and over again to enter the U.S. because there were no repercussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"US Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.)\"]‘To think that concessions are going to be made without benefiting a single Dreamer, a single farm worker, a single undocumented essential worker is unconscionable.’[/pullquote]Greg Chen, senior director of government relations for the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said it would just make the border region “more chaotic, more dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policies under consideration would also be difficult to implement. Detaining migrants or families would lead to hundreds of thousands of people in custody — at a huge cost — and could force the Department of Homeland Security to divert staff from other duties to the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are all things that are extremely, extremely worrying,” said Jason Houser, the former chief of staff at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the legislation comes to a vote, Padilla and other prominent House Democrats, such as Reps. Nanette Barragán of California, the chair of the Hispanic Caucus, and Pramila Jayapal of Washington state, chair of the Progressive Caucus, will likely lead opposition from the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration advocates were also heartened to see support from prominent House members like Rep.

But Padilla told reporters afterward that it was a timely discussion, given a recent gang-related shooting on September 28 that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11927080/six-people-wounded-at-high-school-shooting-in-oakland-oakcrime\">wounded six people at a school complex in East Oakland\u003c/a> and another shooting near UC Berkeley on October 8 \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-10-08/four-men-shot-one-killed-berkeley\">that left one man dead and three others injured\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a decade where homicides were down to a half-century low in the 2010s, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/01/06/953254623/massive-1-year-rise-in-homicide-rates-collided-with-the-pandemic-in-2020\">the whole Bay Area saw an increase in violence since the pandemic began in 2020\u003c/a>. Oakland police investigated 134 homicides in 2021 — the most since 2012 — and already this year authorities have reported 103 homicides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Police Chief LeRonne L. Armstrong said group and gang violence was the predominant driver of crimes in the city. He added that officers have recovered an astounding number of firearms: 1,132 so far, compared to nearly 1,200 last year, many of which are \"ghost guns,\" which are untraceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla said the federal Safer Communities Act, signed into law in June, provides hundreds of millions of dollars for community-based violence prevention initiatives like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/projects/macro-mobile-assistance-community-responders-of-oakland\">Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland Program\u003c/a>, or MACRO, which was modeled after the Eugene, Oregon, Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets (CAHOOTS) model, widely recognized as a non-law enforcement mobile crisis intervention program that has seen significant success over the last 31 years.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Barbara Lee, U.S. representative\"]'Our young people deserve investments in education, jobs, housing, mental health, social and racial justice efforts and more to ensure the quality of life they deserve.'[/pullquote]The six-month-old MACRO program sends a team of crisis intervention specialists to respond to nonviolent 911 calls, helping to deescalate crises without police intervention, thereby reducing police responses to behavioral health issues so they can focus on crime instead, at a time when the OPD has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/06/24/1009578809/cops-say-low-morale-and-department-scrutiny-are-driving-them-away-from-the-job\">understaffed and overwhelmed since the start of the pandemic\u003c/a>. The city is testing the program for 18 months, limiting service to just East and West Oakland between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., with three teams on two shifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla thinks federal dollars can increase staff and expand hours and area of coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the objective: not just trying to find those new solutions, new initiatives but looking at what has been proven, that can have a bigger impact if we’re able to scale up with more resources, hiring more teams to do the work on the ground,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barbara Lee later told reporters that the closed-door conversation delved into systemic racism as one major root cause of crimes, given that a majority of victims of gun violence are Black and brown people from under-resourced communities and lower-income neighborhoods where gang violence often takes root. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, she said she’s been working to boost federal funding for grassroots violence prevention programs that employ young people as “violence interrupters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our young people deserve investments in education, jobs, housing, mental health, social and racial justice efforts and more to ensure the quality of life they deserve,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Oakland police investigated 134 homicides in 2021 — the most since 2012 — and already this year authorities have reported 103 homicides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Police Chief LeRonne L. Armstrong said group and gang violence was the predominant driver of crimes in the city. He added that officers have recovered an astounding number of firearms: 1,132 so far, compared to nearly 1,200 last year, many of which are \"ghost guns,\" which are untraceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla said the federal Safer Communities Act, signed into law in June, provides hundreds of millions of dollars for community-based violence prevention initiatives like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/projects/macro-mobile-assistance-community-responders-of-oakland\">Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland Program\u003c/a>, or MACRO, which was modeled after the Eugene, Oregon, Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets (CAHOOTS) model, widely recognized as a non-law enforcement mobile crisis intervention program that has seen significant success over the last 31 years.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

About 24% of them live in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No state has more at stake in passing a solution for these individuals than California,” said Sen. Alex Padilla, D-California, chair of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee, who co-led Tuesday's Judiciary Committee hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla and other Democrats at the hearing strove to highlight the economic and social contributions of the immigrants who would benefit from the proposed legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 40,000 health care workers with DACA or TPS status risked their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic but don't have the certainty of permanent residency in the U.S. and could still be deported, Padilla said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These immigrants have put their own health and their family's health on the line to keep America running,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two immigrants who have cared for COVID-19 patients testified at the hearing: Rony Ponthieux, a TPS holder who works as a nurse in Miami and is the father of a U.S.-born son in the Army; and Manuel Bernal Mejia, a DACA recipient who is an emergency room physician in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm honored to serve my community during this pandemic and to help save lives when our country has collectively experienced great loss, even as I face my own uncertain future,” said Bernal Mejia, who grew up in Tennessee. “And while it is true that most Dreamers are not doctors, we all contribute to this country in our own special way. America is our home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judiciary Committee has not yet scheduled a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act yet, an aide to Padilla said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress created \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status\">TPS\u003c/a> in 1990 to provide relief to immigrants in the U.S. who could not return safely to their home countries because of natural disasters, armed conflict or other conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA recipients must apply to renew their permits to live and work in the U.S. every two years, while TPS permits typically last \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status\">six to 18 months\u003c/a>, before the Department of Homeland Security decides whether to extend them. Immigrants from El Salvador and Nicaragua have been eligible for TPS more than 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration took multiple steps to terminate \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823165/weight-back-on-my-shoulders-young-daca-doctor-awaits-supreme-court-ruling\">DACA\u003c/a>, as well as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714388/california-teen-leads-suit-to-keep-hundreds-of-thousands-of-immigrants-in-u-s\">TPS for most holders\u003c/a>, but was halted by the courts. A case challenging DACA's legality is still pending in a Texas district court, injecting more uncertainty into the future of current recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last 20 years, several versions of the DREAM Act failed to get the 60 votes needed to pass in the Senate. Meanwhile, public support for immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children has grown, with about \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/06/17/americans-broadly-support-legal-status-for-immigrants-brought-to-the-u-s-illegally-as-children/\">three-quarters\u003c/a> of Americans in favor of granting permanent legal status to Dreamers, according to the Pew Research Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Tuesday's three-hour hearing, some Republican senators expressed sympathy, especially for DACA holders, but seemed unwilling to move forward on a deal without beefing up border security measures and narrowing the scope of who would be eligible for legalization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"immigration\"]“If we want to provide legal status for Dreamers, we must secure our border so that we don't find ourselves in the same situation again 20 or 30 years from now,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several GOP lawmakers also criticized the bill as a broad “amnesty,” that they believed would incentivize illegal immigration at a time when unlawful border crossing efforts have spiked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters\">180,000\u003c/a> immigrants along the southern border, 56% more than in January when President Biden took office. Republican senators linked that increase to the Biden administration's decisions to halt Trump-era restrictive policies such as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/21_0601_termination_of_mpp_program.pdf\">Migrant Protection Protocols\u003c/a> and construction of the border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigration experts say extreme violence and poverty in Central America are the main factors pushing migrants to flee north, not U.S. immigration policies. During the Trump administration, they note, CBP arrests at the southern border nearly tripled, from 304,000 in 2017 to 851,000 in 2019, according to agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2020-Jan/U.S.%20Border%20Patrol%20Fiscal%20Year%20Southwest%20Border%20Sector%20Apprehensions%20%28FY%201960%20-%20FY%202019%29_0.pdf\">data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, added that immigration authorities under Biden have expelled 74% of undocumented migrants arrested at the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the Biden administration is up against large numbers, but they are clearly not welcoming and opening the door to everyone,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin, who introduced the first DREAM Act in the Senate two decades ago, said he would continue bipartisan discussions on legislation to offer Dreamers and TPS holders U.S. citizenship, as well as come up with a border security bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we can find justice for people who are eligible under TPS and the DREAM Act without suggesting that the door is open and anyone can come to this country without any kind of scrutiny whatsoever,” he said. “And I can assure you that the battle will continue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bill that aims to offer legal status to undocumented farmworkers, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11866519/nearly-half-a-million-california-farmworkers-could-gain-legal-status-under-new-bill\">Farm Workforce Modernization Act\u003c/a>, was also passed by the House in March but is still awaiting a hearing in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\n",

America is our home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judiciary Committee has not yet scheduled a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act yet, an aide to Padilla said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress created \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status\">TPS\u003c/a> in 1990 to provide relief to immigrants in the U.S. who could not return safely to their home countries because of natural disasters, armed conflict or other conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA recipients must apply to renew their permits to live and work in the U.S. every two years, while TPS permits typically last \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status\">six to 18 months\u003c/a>, before the Department of Homeland Security decides whether to extend them. Immigrants from El Salvador and Nicaragua have been eligible for TPS more than 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration took multiple steps to terminate \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823165/weight-back-on-my-shoulders-young-daca-doctor-awaits-supreme-court-ruling\">DACA\u003c/a>, as well as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714388/california-teen-leads-suit-to-keep-hundreds-of-thousands-of-immigrants-in-u-s\">TPS for most holders\u003c/a>, but was halted by the courts. A case challenging DACA's legality is still pending in a Texas district court, injecting more uncertainty into the future of current recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last 20 years, several versions of the DREAM Act failed to get the 60 votes needed to pass in the Senate. Meanwhile, public support for immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children has grown, with about \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/06/17/americans-broadly-support-legal-status-for-immigrants-brought-to-the-u-s-illegally-as-children/\">three-quarters\u003c/a> of Americans in favor of granting permanent legal status to Dreamers, according to the Pew Research Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Tuesday's three-hour hearing, some Republican senators expressed sympathy, especially for DACA holders, but seemed unwilling to move forward on a deal without beefing up border security measures and narrowing the scope of who would be eligible for legalization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several GOP lawmakers also criticized the bill as a broad “amnesty,” that they believed would incentivize illegal immigration at a time when unlawful border crossing efforts have spiked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters\">180,000\u003c/a> immigrants along the southern border, 56% more than in January when President Biden took office. Republican senators linked that increase to the Biden administration's decisions to halt Trump-era restrictive policies such as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/21_0601_termination_of_mpp_program.pdf\">Migrant Protection Protocols\u003c/a> and construction of the border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigration experts say extreme violence and poverty in Central America are the main factors pushing migrants to flee north, not U.S. immigration policies. During the Trump administration, they note, CBP arrests at the southern border nearly tripled, from 304,000 in 2017 to 851,000 in 2019, according to agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2020-Jan/U.S.%20Border%20Patrol%20Fiscal%20Year%20Southwest%20Border%20Sector%20Apprehensions%20%28FY%201960%20-%20FY%202019%29_0.pdf\">data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, added that immigration authorities under Biden have expelled 74% of undocumented migrants arrested at the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the Biden administration is up against large numbers, but they are clearly not welcoming and opening the door to everyone,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin, who introduced the first DREAM Act in the Senate two decades ago, said he would continue bipartisan discussions on legislation to offer Dreamers and TPS holders U.S. citizenship, as well as come up with a border security bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we can find justice for people who are eligible under TPS and the DREAM Act without suggesting that the door is open and anyone can come to this country without any kind of scrutiny whatsoever,” he said. “And I can assure you that the battle will continue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bill that aims to offer legal status to undocumented farmworkers, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11866519/nearly-half-a-million-california-farmworkers-could-gain-legal-status-under-new-bill\">Farm Workforce Modernization Act\u003c/a>, was also passed by the House in March but is still awaiting a hearing in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
