It is likely fated to join a host of other House-passed measures advancing Democrats’ agenda that are running aground in the GOP-run Senate, including legislation on health care, gun control, climate change and election security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill passed on a near party-line 237-187 vote as supporters in the House visitors’ galleries roared “Yes We Can” and other chants, a rare display of raucous emotion in a chamber whose rules require decorum by its guests. Seven Republicans from mostly moderate districts were the only lawmakers to cross party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As if to underscore the relentlessness and sweep of the immigration fight, the Democratic-led House Appropriations Committee took its own swipe at Trump by unveiling a separate bill that provides no additional money next year for building the president’s long-sought barriers along the southwest border.

More than a quarter of the country’s 700,000 DACA recipients live in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a redder state, taxpayers might object to a public university providing state-funded legal aid for clients that include undocumented immigrants, not all of whom are students. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/ppic-polling-immigration-debate/\">polls\u003c/a> show more than eight in 10 Californians favor a path to legal status for undocumented residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Janet Napolitano — the former Secretary of Homeland Security — supports the program, as does Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has proposed spending an additional $17 million next year to provide similar legal services on California State University and community college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Riverside, where the student body includes an estimated 800 undocumented and DACA-status students, Gutierrez helps her clients file renewal applications for the two-year DACA permits — under President Donald Trump, the program is not accepting new applicants — and counsels them about long-shot options for establishing permanent residency. She draws diagrams on notebook paper filled with boxes and arrows showing the possibilities and hurdles. Sometimes, she literally holds their hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An uncertain path\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The student sitting in Gutierrez’s office wants to be a high school guidance counselor, because, she says, a counselor once made a difference for her. She came to the United States when she was 5 years old and has no memory of life before that in the Mexican state of Guerrero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re always telling me stories, but I’m like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in California, she says, “I have my driver’s license, but it’s still kind of scary—always watching what I do, looking over my shoulder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the clients interviewed for this story asked CALmatters not to identify them, to avoid compromising their immigration cases, so we’ll call her Marisol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many UCR students, Marisol comes from a mixed-status family: parents without papers, a sister who is a citizen, and a brother who qualified for DACA but didn’t apply because the family couldn’t afford it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, a grant program through the California Department of Social Services would have paid the $495 fee. But that money has run out and it’s unclear whether the state will renew it. Marisol’s two-day-a-week job at a theater doesn’t pay enough, so she’s hoping to use her financial aid money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her U.S. citizen sister can petition for her, but the current wait time is more than 20 years, according to the State Department’s latest visa bulletin. And she may have to leave the country for 10 years before becoming eligible. Marisol’s eyes widen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overwhelming majority of cases are like these—students whose path to citizenship is either lengthy and uncertain, or just nonexistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want to do something more for your clients, but you also come to learn that this is what we’re dealing with,” Gutierrez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Stomachache, unable to sleep’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez’s next appointment, a shaggy-haired chemistry student we’ll call Luis, is already waiting when Marisol leaves, DACA renewal check in hand. Luis is doing his Ph.D. research on a coating for the surfaces of airplanes and spacecraft that could make them more impact-resistant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without DACA, Luis says, he’d likely have to drop out of school: While California lets students who are undocumented apply for state-sponsored financial aid, the bulk of that aid is targeted toward undergraduates. Luis relies on about $24,000 a year from his graduate assistantship to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time he renewed his permit, Luis paid a local immigration consultant $150 to help fill out the forms, which ended up sprinkled with minor errors. A fixture of many Latino neighborhoods, such consultants—sometimes referred to as \u003cem>notarios—\u003c/em>work out of storefronts assisting clients with taxes and legal documents. But they are not attorneys, and sometimes make costly mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Established in 2012 by President Barack Obama, DACA has helped students like Luis, but recipients still can’t travel outside the country or receive federal financial aid. An Obama-era provision called advance parole allowed those with DACA to leave the United States to study abroad or visit sick family members, a practice the Trump administration stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of these students have grandparents back home who were their caregivers that they can’t see,” Gutierrez says of her clients. “And then these people pass away and you never see them again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For undocumented students without DACA, the risk of travel is greater. At least two UC students have landed in immigration detention since the Immigrant Legal Services Center was founded in 2015, according to its staff, and a third was stranded in Tijuana after his advance parole expired during a research trip. All eventually returned to their campuses, but Gutierrez says that kind of prosecutorial discretion has become rarer under Trump. She counsels undocumented students to avoid unnecessary travel even to border-adjacent areas like San Diego, warning that they can’t count on leniency: “The worst-case scenario is no longer the worst-case scenario.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez understands these challenges more than most: She’s a DACA recipient herself, who was born in Mexico and came moved with her family to Orange County when she was 4. She told no one she was undocumented until she became a student at Cal State Fullerton and her friends were planning a San Diego trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/5212271c-2a32-48cd-b8d2-5b99da27977f?src=embed\" title=\"85% of californians\" width=\"1094\" height=\"850\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is among a handful of states that allow undocumented immigrants to become lawyers. But despite her education and professional status, Gutierrez says she faces the same dilemma as other DACA recipients: Leaving the country to “get in line” for legal status would mean leaving the only home she knows, and paradoxically, might actually damage her immigration case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in fall 2017 plans to end DACA, Gutierrez says, she went through the same stress cycle as her clients: “Stomachache, unable to sleep, crying. Pure emotion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A series of lawsuits has kept DACA alive for those who already have permits, with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit deeming the Trump administration’s attempt to terminate it “arbitrary and capricious.” A Washington, D.C., appeals court is currently reviewing another case, and the U.S. Supreme Court has so far declined to take up the issue, meaning that the legal limbo is likely to continue at least through the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘I never know if I’m going to return’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It’s 2:30 p.m., and the oatmeal still sits mostly untouched on Gutierrez’s desk. She takes a few more bites and logs onto her case-management system: 35 open cases, 110 pending with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, 127 closed. The center’s caseload grew by 28 percent in the 2017-18 academic year. Attorneys mostly do their own clerical work, which means late-night hours and weekend shifts to catch up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An intern comes in with a letter: Citizenship and Immigration Services has rejected a residency petition filed by a student under a special program for underage victims of abuse and neglect. Applications for this program open periodically, then the window closes. By law, the application fee can be waived for those who can’t afford it, but the government has decided not to waive it in this case, Gutierrez says, and the client has missed the deadline. She will now have to wait until applications reopen, which could be years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administrative snafus like these can carry serious consequences. Another client, a recent UCR graduate from Peru, had a DACA work permit lost in the mail nine months ago, and immigration officials have so far refused to send another one, Gutierrez says. A professional photographer, the client is planning a multi-state photography trip but is nervous about leaving California without the permit in hand, though she’s already been approved for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez is helping her draft a letter to U.S. Rep.

Among them is Gutierrez’s last client of the day, Marvin, a burly construction worker whose daughter attends UCR. Marvin, too, came to the United States as a teen, but it was long before DACA existed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I leave my house in the morning,” he says, “but I never know if I’m going to return. Probably my daughters feel it, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez tells him she wants him to be aware of his rights if he’s stopped by immigration officials at one of the checkpoints he sometimes passes on the way to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only thing you’re going to tell them is your name and your birthdate,” she coaches him. “If they ask you any other questions, what are you going to say?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to talk to an attorney,” Marvin responds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez moves her face close to his and barks questions in Spanish, imitating an immigration official. They’re both half-laughing, but Gutierrez is serious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they’re like this, are you going to be able to remember what I’m telling you,” she asks him. “No, you are going to feel intimidated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hands him a pamphlet he can show to officials invoking his right to an attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s dark by the time Marvin leaves, and Gutierrez has another two hours of paperwork ahead of her. She takes off her black blazer, pins up her hair and starts entering details into the case-management system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, she says, she feels like a professional deliverer of bad news. But there are bright moments, like the client who decided she wanted to be a lawyer after talking with Gutierrez, who was the first undocumented attorney she’d ever met.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When all else fails, she simply takes a pause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I have to leave the office and cry for 10 minutes,” she says. “And then it’s back to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

She came to the United States when she was 5 years old and has no memory of life before that in the Mexican state of Guerrero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re always telling me stories, but I’m like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in California, she says, “I have my driver’s license, but it’s still kind of scary—always watching what I do, looking over my shoulder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the clients interviewed for this story asked CALmatters not to identify them, to avoid compromising their immigration cases, so we’ll call her Marisol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many UCR students, Marisol comes from a mixed-status family: parents without papers, a sister who is a citizen, and a brother who qualified for DACA but didn’t apply because the family couldn’t afford it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, a grant program through the California Department of Social Services would have paid the $495 fee. But that money has run out and it’s unclear whether the state will renew it. Marisol’s two-day-a-week job at a theater doesn’t pay enough, so she’s hoping to use her financial aid money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her U.S. citizen sister can petition for her, but the current wait time is more than 20 years, according to the State Department’s latest visa bulletin. And she may have to leave the country for 10 years before becoming eligible. Marisol’s eyes widen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overwhelming majority of cases are like these—students whose path to citizenship is either lengthy and uncertain, or just nonexistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want to do something more for your clients, but you also come to learn that this is what we’re dealing with,” Gutierrez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Stomachache, unable to sleep’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez’s next appointment, a shaggy-haired chemistry student we’ll call Luis, is already waiting when Marisol leaves, DACA renewal check in hand. Luis is doing his Ph.D. research on a coating for the surfaces of airplanes and spacecraft that could make them more impact-resistant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without DACA, Luis says, he’d likely have to drop out of school: While California lets students who are undocumented apply for state-sponsored financial aid, the bulk of that aid is targeted toward undergraduates. Luis relies on about $24,000 a year from his graduate assistantship to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time he renewed his permit, Luis paid a local immigration consultant $150 to help fill out the forms, which ended up sprinkled with minor errors. A fixture of many Latino neighborhoods, such consultants—sometimes referred to as \u003cem>notarios—\u003c/em>work out of storefronts assisting clients with taxes and legal documents. But they are not attorneys, and sometimes make costly mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Established in 2012 by President Barack Obama, DACA has helped students like Luis, but recipients still can’t travel outside the country or receive federal financial aid. An Obama-era provision called advance parole allowed those with DACA to leave the United States to study abroad or visit sick family members, a practice the Trump administration stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of these students have grandparents back home who were their caregivers that they can’t see,” Gutierrez says of her clients. “And then these people pass away and you never see them again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For undocumented students without DACA, the risk of travel is greater. At least two UC students have landed in immigration detention since the Immigrant Legal Services Center was founded in 2015, according to its staff, and a third was stranded in Tijuana after his advance parole expired during a research trip. All eventually returned to their campuses, but Gutierrez says that kind of prosecutorial discretion has become rarer under Trump. She counsels undocumented students to avoid unnecessary travel even to border-adjacent areas like San Diego, warning that they can’t count on leniency: “The worst-case scenario is no longer the worst-case scenario.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez understands these challenges more than most: She’s a DACA recipient herself, who was born in Mexico and came moved with her family to Orange County when she was 4. She told no one she was undocumented until she became a student at Cal State Fullerton and her friends were planning a San Diego trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/5212271c-2a32-48cd-b8d2-5b99da27977f?src=embed\" title=\"85% of californians\" width=\"1094\" height=\"850\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is among a handful of states that allow undocumented immigrants to become lawyers. But despite her education and professional status, Gutierrez says she faces the same dilemma as other DACA recipients: Leaving the country to “get in line” for legal status would mean leaving the only home she knows, and paradoxically, might actually damage her immigration case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in fall 2017 plans to end DACA, Gutierrez says, she went through the same stress cycle as her clients: “Stomachache, unable to sleep, crying. Pure emotion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A series of lawsuits has kept DACA alive for those who already have permits, with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit deeming the Trump administration’s attempt to terminate it “arbitrary and capricious.” A Washington, D.C., appeals court is currently reviewing another case, and the U.S. Supreme Court has so far declined to take up the issue, meaning that the legal limbo is likely to continue at least through the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘I never know if I’m going to return’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It’s 2:30 p.m., and the oatmeal still sits mostly untouched on Gutierrez’s desk. She takes a few more bites and logs onto her case-management system: 35 open cases, 110 pending with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, 127 closed. The center’s caseload grew by 28 percent in the 2017-18 academic year. Attorneys mostly do their own clerical work, which means late-night hours and weekend shifts to catch up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An intern comes in with a letter: Citizenship and Immigration Services has rejected a residency petition filed by a student under a special program for underage victims of abuse and neglect. Applications for this program open periodically, then the window closes. By law, the application fee can be waived for those who can’t afford it, but the government has decided not to waive it in this case, Gutierrez says, and the client has missed the deadline. She will now have to wait until applications reopen, which could be years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administrative snafus like these can carry serious consequences. Another client, a recent UCR graduate from Peru, had a DACA work permit lost in the mail nine months ago, and immigration officials have so far refused to send another one, Gutierrez says. A professional photographer, the client is planning a multi-state photography trip but is nervous about leaving California without the permit in hand, though she’s already been approved for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez is helping her draft a letter to U.S. Rep.

Among them is Gutierrez’s last client of the day, Marvin, a burly construction worker whose daughter attends UCR. Marvin, too, came to the United States as a teen, but it was long before DACA existed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I leave my house in the morning,” he says, “but I never know if I’m going to return. Probably my daughters feel it, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez tells him she wants him to be aware of his rights if he’s stopped by immigration officials at one of the checkpoints he sometimes passes on the way to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only thing you’re going to tell them is your name and your birthdate,” she coaches him. “If they ask you any other questions, what are you going to say?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to talk to an attorney,” Marvin responds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez moves her face close to his and barks questions in Spanish, imitating an immigration official. They’re both half-laughing, but Gutierrez is serious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they’re like this, are you going to be able to remember what I’m telling you,” she asks him. “No, you are going to feel intimidated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hands him a pamphlet he can show to officials invoking his right to an attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s dark by the time Marvin leaves, and Gutierrez has another two hours of paperwork ahead of her. She takes off her black blazer, pins up her hair and starts entering details into the case-management system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, she says, she feels like a professional deliverer of bad news. But there are bright moments, like the client who decided she wanted to be a lawyer after talking with Gutierrez, who was the first undocumented attorney she’d ever met.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When all else fails, she simply takes a pause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I have to leave the office and cry for 10 minutes,” she says. “And then it’s back to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Saturday, 11:55 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Bay Area congressional leaders on Saturday quickly rejected President Trump's proposal to reopen the federal government by exchanging temporary protections for people brought to the country illegally as children for $5.7 billion in border wall funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11719616/trump-offers-temporary-immigrant-protections-for-5-7-billion-in-wall-money\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump's offer\u003c/a>, which he announced Saturday afternoon from the White House, would extend for three years legal status and protection from deportation for the roughly 700,000 recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, as well as temporary protected status for some 300,000 immigrants who have fled natural disasters or unrest in their native countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has previously rescinded DACA and TPS protections, although its move against DACA has been blocked by the courts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In exchange, he's asking for $800 million for humanitarian assistance at the border, $805 million for drug-detection technology at ports of entry, an additional 2,750 border agents, 75 new \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717702/thousands-of-immigrants-in-court-limbo-due-to-government-shutdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">immigration judge teams\u003c/a>,\" the ability for Central American minors to apply for asylum from their home countries and $5.7 billion for \"strategic deployment of physical barriers or a wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before the president announced his proposal, Bay Area Democrats were coming out against it based on early media reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Democrat and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the proposal a \"compilation of previously rejected initiatives\" in a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1086730113369165827\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement released\u003c/a> 30 minutes before Trump's speech. \"It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1086730113369165827\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi specifically called out the lack of a permanent solution for DACA recipients and those with temporary protected status, but several of the \"smart, effective border security solutions\" Pelosi said that Democrats would support — new drug-detection technology at ports of entry, increased border staffing and more immigration judges — were included in Trump's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What is original in the President’s proposal is not good. What is good in the proposal is not original,\" Pelosi \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1086756248119316482\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted\u003c/a> after Trump officially unveiled his plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Dublin, also rebuffed Trump's offer before it was officially announced. Swalwell told KQED just before the president's speech that any proposal including a wall is off the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to trade opening the government or the fate of Dreamers for a wall,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell, a staunch critic of the president and rumored candidate for president in 2020, added that he could support a proposal that includes funding for barriers at certain points along the border, but not a wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he wants to have targeted barriers where he can articulate vulnerabilities, I’m open to working with him on that,” he said, noting that he does not think the president will budge on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fellow Bay Area Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, said in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/01/19/rep-zoe-lofgren-trump-daca-offer-democrats-response-sot-nr-vpx.cnn\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interview with CNN\u003c/a> shortly after Trump's announcement that Democrats will not negotiate with the president on funding for a wall while the government is shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can have a discussion about solving our policy differences, but not with the government hostage,” said Lofgren, who leads the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren, a former immigration attorney and longtime advocate for immigration reform, told CNN that Democrats do support funding for border security and conceded that some of their ideas may overlap with the president’s in some areas, but she said the government should reopen before negotiations begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to get to where we need to be for our country with the president coming up with deals that are only his deals that he’s never discussed with anyone,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren added that Democrats plan to release their border security proposals in detail next week, including a proposal to “dramatically” increase the number of immigration judges, one to increase funding for the Coast Guard, and another to strengthen funding for new detection technologies at official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost all the drugs that are coming over the land borders come through the ports of entry; they come on trucks,” she said. “And we don’t have the technology to detect those drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, also called funding the border wall a \"non-starter\" and said border security negotiations should wait until after the government is reopened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We shouldn't shut down the government for policy disagreements,\" DeSaulnier said at a town hall in his district on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do agree with [Trump] on the immigration reform,\" he added. \"We do need to fix the system; it's broken. But for him to claim there's a humanitarian crisis? I've seen it, and he's contributed to it significantly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, called the proposal a \"real slap in the face,\" and echoed her colleagues complaints over the lack of long-term protections for DACA and TPS recipients. But she said even if they were included, it would not be enough for her to agree to the rest of Trump's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not for a $5 billion wall,\" she told KQED. \"Dreamers deserve a pathway to citizenship regardless of any proposed wall or any proposal the president makes. That’s the right thing to do.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also lamented the continued impact of the partial government shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These government workers don’t have a lot of money, and this president is just holding them hostage,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepBarbaraLee/status/1086778035305467905\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike her colleagues, Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, said there are parameters under which she could support providing some funding for a border wall, including if the president were to propose a permanent fix for DACA, rather than just three years of protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that would be a deal that I personally could support,” she said. “But not all of my colleagues would even be willing to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that didn't stop her from harshly criticizing the proposal and the president's negotiating tactics, which she said indicate that he’s not willing to negotiate with Democrats at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to negotiate with a terrorist,” she said. “He’s becoming a terrorist in the way he’s negotiating with us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1086780030372536320\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her statement, Pelosi said Democrats plan to pass a package of six bills to reopen the government \"so that we can fully negotiate on border security proposals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, who has previously said he would not bring any proposal to reopen the government up for a vote in the Senate unless it was agreed upon by the president and Democrats, said in a statement after the speech that he will move the president's proposal through the Senate this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government has been partially shutdown since Dec. 22. and has led to more than 800,000 federal employees being furloughed or forced to work without pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Sara Hossaini and Caroline Champlin contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated to include comments from Reps.

Eric Swalwell, D-Dublin, also rebuffed Trump's offer before it was officially announced. Swalwell told KQED just before the president's speech that any proposal including a wall is off the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to trade opening the government or the fate of Dreamers for a wall,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell, a staunch critic of the president and rumored candidate for president in 2020, added that he could support a proposal that includes funding for barriers at certain points along the border, but not a wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he wants to have targeted barriers where he can articulate vulnerabilities, I’m open to working with him on that,” he said, noting that he does not think the president will budge on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fellow Bay Area Rep.

Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, also called funding the border wall a \"non-starter\" and said border security negotiations should wait until after the government is reopened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We shouldn't shut down the government for policy disagreements,\" DeSaulnier said at a town hall in his district on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do agree with [Trump] on the immigration reform,\" he added. \"We do need to fix the system; it's broken. But for him to claim there's a humanitarian crisis? I've seen it, and he's contributed to it significantly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, called the proposal a \"real slap in the face,\" and echoed her colleagues complaints over the lack of long-term protections for DACA and TPS recipients. But she said even if they were included, it would not be enough for her to agree to the rest of Trump's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not for a $5 billion wall,\" she told KQED. \"Dreamers deserve a pathway to citizenship regardless of any proposed wall or any proposal the president makes. That’s the right thing to do.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also lamented the continued impact of the partial government shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These government workers don’t have a lot of money, and this president is just holding them hostage,\" she said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And eventually, years later, back to the small town in the Mexican state of Hidalgo where she was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting in her mother’s living room in Hidalgo on an armchair draped with a bright serape blanket, Maria reflected on the nursing career and family she built in California, and the deportation that wrenched her away -- unexpected outcomes of that long-ago crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was just 18 the day the plane went down, and had already earned an accounting degree and gotten a good job as a secretary in a hospital near Mexico City. In addition to answering the phones, a doctor often called on Maria to help attend patients -- including the pilot injured in the plane crash. Maria got the pilot necessary blood transfusions, and his uncle was so grateful that he offered Maria a place to stay with family in Tijuana and promised to help her find a better hospital job in northern Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opportunities had never just fallen into Maria’s lap. Born in Santa Monica, a small village with just 120 residents, Maria grew up with a father who farmed the land and resented the fact that most of his children were girls.

Even if nothing passes, you've got to put forth the effort so you know where people are. Now that may be an entirely ludicrous thought but that's where I'm at,\" said Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., who has signed the discharge petition. \"Guess what: I'm not trying to sow discontentment or mutiny — I've just frankly run out of patience with, 'Yeah, we'll get to it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costello also rejected the political argument that pushing an immigration debate could further threaten the GOP's grip on the House majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just don't agree with that because there's a lot of members in districts similar to mine, middle-of-the-road districts, where they're just looking for people to solve problems, and when you're willing to just have the courage to just go solve problems, voters reward you for that,\" Costello said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Republicans have never been able to come up with an immigration bill that can pass with GOP votes alone, although that is clearly the continued preference of conservatives like Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., one of the Republicans who took down the farm bill last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's going to have to be something that garners 218 votes.

Hopefully in the end we'll find a compromise,\" Meadows told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While lawmakers, including Meadows, continue to voice support for Ryan's leadership, the immigration debate may test not only his ability to stay on as speaker through the election as he plans but also the ambitions of the Republicans who want to move up the leadership ladder when he is gone: Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11663669\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11663669\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RyanAndMcCarthy-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"House Speaker Paul Ryan (L) and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy talk to reporters following the weekly House Republican Conference meeting at the U.S. Capitol April 17, 2018.

How much more open and fair and transparent can you be?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be enough for Republicans who are frustrated with months of inaction from GOP leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm tired of defending nothing. Even if nothing passes, you've got to put forth the effort so you know where people are. Now that may be an entirely ludicrous thought but that's where I'm at,\" said Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., who has signed the discharge petition. \"Guess what: I'm not trying to sow discontentment or mutiny — I've just frankly run out of patience with, 'Yeah, we'll get to it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costello also rejected the political argument that pushing an immigration debate could further threaten the GOP's grip on the House majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just don't agree with that because there's a lot of members in districts similar to mine, middle-of-the-road districts, where they're just looking for people to solve problems, and when you're willing to just have the courage to just go solve problems, voters reward you for that,\" Costello said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Republicans have never been able to come up with an immigration bill that can pass with GOP votes alone, although that is clearly the continued preference of conservatives like Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., one of the Republicans who took down the farm bill last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's going to have to be something that garners 218 votes. I won't get everything I want; moderate members won't get everything they want. Hopefully in the end we'll find a compromise,\" Meadows told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While lawmakers, including Meadows, continue to voice support for Ryan's leadership, the immigration debate may test not only his ability to stay on as speaker through the election as he plans but also the ambitions of the Republicans who want to move up the leadership ladder when he is gone: Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11663669\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11663669\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RyanAndMcCarthy-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"House Speaker Paul Ryan (L) and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy talk to reporters following the weekly House Republican Conference meeting at the U.S. Capitol April 17, 2018.
