His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically.

And so the failure of the DREAM Act in 2010, followed by a looming reelection of President Obama in early 2012, combined with potential Republican DREAM Act legislation being introduced by then-Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio.

The Trump administration tried to end (DACA). DACA advocates [then] made a legal argument that the way that the Trump administration tried to end DACA violated the APA. Therefore, district courts all the way up to the Supreme Court said that DACA should stay. And now we have Judge Hanen relying on the same Administrative Procedure Act to essentially rule that DACA is illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What is the immediate impact of this decision?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tom K. Wong\u003c/strong>: The immediate impact is already being felt. Those who are first-time applicants, they should have received text notification from USCIS saying that biometrics appointments are now canceled. So part of applying for DACA not only includes a paper application, but once that's received by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), then individuals go in for biometrics, for example, to provide their fingerprints. So those appointments are already being canceled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the approximately 600,000 active DACA recipients, this means more uncertainty and more limbo. We essentially had four years of uncertainty over DACA under the Trump administration. And this particular ruling — although it does not say that current active DACA recipients will lose their status — adds to the sort of uncertainty that the recipients are living with on a day to day [basis] and makes more vivid the importance of a permanent legislative solution for not just DACA recipients, but for undocumented immigrants more generally.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Experiences of DACA Recipients\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What was your reaction to the ruling?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'I'm really tired and I cannot live like this anymore with this fear ...

We have a legal services clinic for our undocumented students. Some of them may actually be able to change their immigration status if they work with a lawyer who is experienced in immigration law. But there's a big concern here, because along with deferring any deportation, if you're in DACA you get work authorization. Our DACA students primarily come from poor families and they need to work to be able to go to school. We're evaluating what our options are there. They're not terrific options, but philanthropy and private fundraising to help support these students is definitely part of the solution here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And potentially some financial help?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And potentially some financial help. We estimate that at the University of California — I think this is a conservative estimate — that we have some 1,700 DACA students. And you know what's ironic about the case in the Supreme Court? There were hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients across the country. And there was a supplemental brief filed pointing out that 29,000 of them are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823165/weight-back-on-my-shoulders-young-daca-doctor-awaits-supreme-court-ruling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">actually health care workers\u003c/a>. They're nurses, respiratory therapists, and physicians. To put them under the risk of deportation at this particular point in time just makes no sense whatsoever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the Supreme Court ends up siding against Dreamers, is there a game plan to fill the positions that they would leave behind within the UC?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not in that way. One of our next steps would obviously be to continue to urge the Trump administration to leave the program in place. Just because the Supreme Court rules that the administration can rescind the program the way it did, doesn't mean it ought to rescind the program. And then Congress will need to get involved should the Supreme Court rule against us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When the pandemic first hit California, the UC was dealing with a strike by graduate students at UC Santa Cruz, and it looked like students at some other campuses in the system were ready to join. The union has filed charges of unfair labor practices and hearings on that start this month. I wonder if you can share your position right now on that dispute. Those students say that they're not making a living wage.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The graduate students who were on strike went on an unlawful wildcat strike. We have a union. We have a collective bargaining agreement. We simply seek to enforce the agreement that students themselves voted on and approved. They have filed some complaints against us in connection with the wildcat strike. We have filed a complaint against the union for not enforcing the no-strike provisions in their collective bargaining agreement. One of the chief values we get from a collective bargaining agreement is the assurance of labor peace and that there will not be strikes while there is a contract in place. And we think PERB [California's Public Employment Relations Board], which is the body that hears these kinds of issues, ought to enforce the contract that the union and its members agree to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I've spoken to members of the union who went on strike. One of them was making something like $20,000 a year in Santa Cruz, where the cost of living is pretty expensive. It's expensive in L.A., it's expensive in Berkeley. Do you think that $21,000 or $22,000 is a living wage in a place like Santa Cruz?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think you ought to look at the total compensation that graduate students get. They get a waiver of tuition, health insurance, a pretty hefty childcare subsidy. So the overall package is very competitive with other grad student compensation packages around the country. We thought it was a fair deal when it was struck. It will be renegotiated, obviously, when the contract is due to expire. I think it has another two years to go and that would be the appropriate time for these kinds of issues to be raised. It's not appropriate, however, for grad students to hold undergraduate grades hostage, which is what was occurring here. You know, they have a contract. Part of that agreement is that they post grades in a timely manner. They get all of the benefits that I've described, plus some. And a wildcat strike really undercuts the core of why we have collective bargaining to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I also want to get your reaction to reports from Vice News that the UC Santa Cruz Police Department coordinated with the state's National Guard to do surveillance on students during those strikes. I just want to have you address concerns that the situation was approached like a military operation in the view of some.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That question is probably more appropriately addressed to the campus. They will have the real detail on that. But I will tell you that the Santa Cruz campus is very hilly. And I don't think it was so much coordination as UC Santa Cruz Police and National Guard — knowing where each other, where they were — because you couldn't see them just because of the topography of the campus. So I think some of those practicalities came into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So this notion that there was surveillance happening to repress protesters, what's your response to that? Because that's the charge: that it was not about logistics but about suppressing protest.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't think the protests were suppressed. They happened. They were very active. Anti-protest surveillance is the perception. I think it's an inaccurate one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Given the moment that we're in, I have to also ask you about the role of police, not just during those strikes, but in general. Is there any discussion about defunding the police departments within the UC?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not defunding, but we want to make sure that our police are well-trained and are using best practices in terms of de-escalation and that complaints — when made — are handled properly. That there's reporting and accountability, and that we have a systemwide use-of-force policy. There's a campaign — 8 Can't Wait. It's eight fundamental actions that reduce the risk of violence by police departments and we're implementing all of those. We had a very extensive policing task force a year ago that came out with a report with a number of recommendations, all of which are being implemented by the campuses as we speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let's talk about the SAT decision: the UC last month announced it's suspending those testing requirements through 2024. Can you take us inside how that that debate played out within the UC system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure. So in 2018, I asked the academic Senate to review the use of the SAT and ACT as a requirement for admission. There's been a lot of public controversy about the SAT exam: that it is unfairly biased in favor of students from wealthier families, that there was an unhealthy correlation between the SAT and your zip code, that a whole industry had developed for students to prepare for the SAT and that disadvantaged students from lower-income families just plain couldn't afford it. So the faculty did a very extensive report which came to me. I disagreed with the conclusion of the report that we ought to maintain the SAT in part because in our admissions process, we were turning all kinds of gymnastic leaps to mitigate for the biases in the test. And so it seemed to me it was time for the UC to wean its way from the SAT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for the next two years, we'll be test-optional, meaning students can elect to submit a test or not. And then, for the following two years, we'll be what's called \"test blind\" — meaning if a student submits a test score, it won't be used in the admissions decision but it can be used for other purposes: some scholarships, for example, or course placement. And then, by 2025, we either will have developed an alternative test or we'll simply have no standardized test requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why does UC plan to make yet another admissions test amid criticism that tests are classist, racist and exclusive? What do you think that test will emphasize?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first of all, we haven't made a decision whether to have an alternative test. We are looking at the feasibility of that right now. We require, as does CSU, that high school students take what's called A-G courses. These are the sequence of courses to prepare you to enter university. An alternative test could be more closely aligned with what we want students to have learned in the A-G classes so that admissions officers can evaluate whether students are prepared to enter the university. So that may be one aspect of a new test should a new test actually be developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"education\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>You have been the president of the UC since 2013. How do you want your tenure to be remembered?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to be remembered as being lively. We just did so many things. We had the goal of being carbon-neutral by 2025. In pursuit of that goal, we became fossil-free, and also invested some of our own funds into new, sustainable energy practices. We took on the issue of sexual violence and sexual harassment on college campuses, and totally re-did the framework for how we handle those matters. We grew substantially in enrollment. We added some 46,000 students during my tenure. But not only did we add students, we improved things like graduation rates — so our 4-year graduation rate went from 63% to 70%, and our 6-year graduation rate went to 85%. And for transfer students, the graduation rate is 90%. We added transfer students and formed a transfer guarantee with the community college system so that now, for every two freshmen, we have a transfer student from the community colleges. We worked on issues like free speech on college campuses and started a new National Center on Free Speech and Civic Engagement in our Washington, D.C. facility.

In a one-on-one interview with The California Report's Lily Jamali, Napolitano talked about the decision to suspend the standardized test requirement in admissions, the ongoing pay dispute with grad students, the future of the UC's Dreamers and how she views her legacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED's Lily Jamali: On immigration, the Supreme Court could issue a decision at any moment on whether so-called \"Dreamers\" can stay in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. For people who don't know, you created DACA during your time as Homeland Security Secretary and your UC has led that legal fight. If Dreamers end up losing their status, what does the UC plan to do with Dreamers within the system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Napolitano: We will provide support to our DACA students. We have a legal services clinic for our undocumented students. Some of them may actually be able to change their immigration status if they work with a lawyer who is experienced in immigration law. But there's a big concern here, because along with deferring any deportation, if you're in DACA you get work authorization. Our DACA students primarily come from poor families and they need to work to be able to go to school. We're evaluating what our options are there. They're not terrific options, but philanthropy and private fundraising to help support these students is definitely part of the solution here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And potentially some financial help?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And potentially some financial help. We estimate that at the University of California — I think this is a conservative estimate — that we have some 1,700 DACA students. And you know what's ironic about the case in the Supreme Court? There were hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients across the country. And there was a supplemental brief filed pointing out that 29,000 of them are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823165/weight-back-on-my-shoulders-young-daca-doctor-awaits-supreme-court-ruling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">actually health care workers\u003c/a>. They're nurses, respiratory therapists, and physicians. To put them under the risk of deportation at this particular point in time just makes no sense whatsoever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the Supreme Court ends up siding against Dreamers, is there a game plan to fill the positions that they would leave behind within the UC?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not in that way. One of our next steps would obviously be to continue to urge the Trump administration to leave the program in place. Just because the Supreme Court rules that the administration can rescind the program the way it did, doesn't mean it ought to rescind the program. And then Congress will need to get involved should the Supreme Court rule against us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When the pandemic first hit California, the UC was dealing with a strike by graduate students at UC Santa Cruz, and it looked like students at some other campuses in the system were ready to join. The union has filed charges of unfair labor practices and hearings on that start this month. I wonder if you can share your position right now on that dispute. Those students say that they're not making a living wage.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The graduate students who were on strike went on an unlawful wildcat strike. We have a union. We have a collective bargaining agreement. We simply seek to enforce the agreement that students themselves voted on and approved. They have filed some complaints against us in connection with the wildcat strike. We have filed a complaint against the union for not enforcing the no-strike provisions in their collective bargaining agreement. One of the chief values we get from a collective bargaining agreement is the assurance of labor peace and that there will not be strikes while there is a contract in place. And we think PERB [California's Public Employment Relations Board], which is the body that hears these kinds of issues, ought to enforce the contract that the union and its members agree to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I've spoken to members of the union who went on strike. One of them was making something like $20,000 a year in Santa Cruz, where the cost of living is pretty expensive. It's expensive in L.A., it's expensive in Berkeley. Do you think that $21,000 or $22,000 is a living wage in a place like Santa Cruz?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think you ought to look at the total compensation that graduate students get. They get a waiver of tuition, health insurance, a pretty hefty childcare subsidy. So the overall package is very competitive with other grad student compensation packages around the country. We thought it was a fair deal when it was struck. It will be renegotiated, obviously, when the contract is due to expire. I think it has another two years to go and that would be the appropriate time for these kinds of issues to be raised. It's not appropriate, however, for grad students to hold undergraduate grades hostage, which is what was occurring here. You know, they have a contract. Part of that agreement is that they post grades in a timely manner. They get all of the benefits that I've described, plus some. And a wildcat strike really undercuts the core of why we have collective bargaining to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I also want to get your reaction to reports from Vice News that the UC Santa Cruz Police Department coordinated with the state's National Guard to do surveillance on students during those strikes. I just want to have you address concerns that the situation was approached like a military operation in the view of some.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That question is probably more appropriately addressed to the campus. They will have the real detail on that. But I will tell you that the Santa Cruz campus is very hilly. And I don't think it was so much coordination as UC Santa Cruz Police and National Guard — knowing where each other, where they were — because you couldn't see them just because of the topography of the campus. So I think some of those practicalities came into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So this notion that there was surveillance happening to repress protesters, what's your response to that? Because that's the charge: that it was not about logistics but about suppressing protest.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't think the protests were suppressed. They happened. They were very active. Anti-protest surveillance is the perception. I think it's an inaccurate one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Given the moment that we're in, I have to also ask you about the role of police, not just during those strikes, but in general. Is there any discussion about defunding the police departments within the UC?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not defunding, but we want to make sure that our police are well-trained and are using best practices in terms of de-escalation and that complaints — when made — are handled properly. That there's reporting and accountability, and that we have a systemwide use-of-force policy. There's a campaign — 8 Can't Wait. It's eight fundamental actions that reduce the risk of violence by police departments and we're implementing all of those. We had a very extensive policing task force a year ago that came out with a report with a number of recommendations, all of which are being implemented by the campuses as we speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let's talk about the SAT decision: the UC last month announced it's suspending those testing requirements through 2024. Can you take us inside how that that debate played out within the UC system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure. So in 2018, I asked the academic Senate to review the use of the SAT and ACT as a requirement for admission. There's been a lot of public controversy about the SAT exam: that it is unfairly biased in favor of students from wealthier families, that there was an unhealthy correlation between the SAT and your zip code, that a whole industry had developed for students to prepare for the SAT and that disadvantaged students from lower-income families just plain couldn't afford it. So the faculty did a very extensive report which came to me. I disagreed with the conclusion of the report that we ought to maintain the SAT in part because in our admissions process, we were turning all kinds of gymnastic leaps to mitigate for the biases in the test. And so it seemed to me it was time for the UC to wean its way from the SAT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for the next two years, we'll be test-optional, meaning students can elect to submit a test or not. And then, for the following two years, we'll be what's called \"test blind\" — meaning if a student submits a test score, it won't be used in the admissions decision but it can be used for other purposes: some scholarships, for example, or course placement. And then, by 2025, we either will have developed an alternative test or we'll simply have no standardized test requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why does UC plan to make yet another admissions test amid criticism that tests are classist, racist and exclusive? What do you think that test will emphasize?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first of all, we haven't made a decision whether to have an alternative test. We are looking at the feasibility of that right now. We require, as does CSU, that high school students take what's called A-G courses. These are the sequence of courses to prepare you to enter university. An alternative test could be more closely aligned with what we want students to have learned in the A-G classes so that admissions officers can evaluate whether students are prepared to enter the university. So that may be one aspect of a new test should a new test actually be developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"tag":"education","label":"More Related Stories "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>You have been the president of the UC since 2013. How do you want your tenure to be remembered?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to be remembered as being lively. We just did so many things. We had the goal of being carbon-neutral by 2025. In pursuit of that goal, we became fossil-free, and also invested some of our own funds into new, sustainable energy practices. We took on the issue of sexual violence and sexual harassment on college campuses, and totally re-did the framework for how we handle those matters. We grew substantially in enrollment. We added some 46,000 students during my tenure. But not only did we add students, we improved things like graduation rates — so our 4-year graduation rate went from 63% to 70%, and our 6-year graduation rate went to 85%. And for transfer students, the graduation rate is 90%. We added transfer students and formed a transfer guarantee with the community college system so that now, for every two freshmen, we have a transfer student from the community colleges. We worked on issues like free speech on college campuses and started a new National Center on Free Speech and Civic Engagement in our Washington, D.C. facility.

An estimated 72,600 children of DACA recipients live in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, President Trump announced plans to end DACA, which would subject recipients to possible deportation and revoke their ability to work when their status expires. The University of California and other plaintiffs sued to keep the program in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, where justices will consider whether the Trump administration can legally end DACA.

To apply, immigrants had to be between 15 and 30 years old, have been brought to the U.S. when they were younger than 16 and lived here for at least five years. They also had to either be in school, have graduated from high school or received a GED certificate or be veterans of the Armed Forces or the Coast Guard, and have no convictions for felonies, significant misdemeanors or multiple misdemeanors. Nationwide, nearly 700,000 people are currently protected under DACA, according to the most recent data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said DACA has helped her provide for Guadalupe — it allows her to work as an accountant at a computer company, where she has health insurance that has been critical to care for her daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guadalupe was born with a birth defect that affects her kidneys. She has been hospitalized multiple times and has had three surgeries since she was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia doesn’t know how she would have paid all the medical bills without health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just seeing what the bill should have been without the health insurance, it’s crazy. It’s a big responsibility for me to make sure she has health insurance and she’s being taken care of, and we don’t miss anything in terms of her health, because that’s scary,” Garcia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact of ending DACA would go far beyond Guadalupe’s physical health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Gabriela Garcia, DACA recipient\"]'It’s a big responsibility for me to make sure she has health insurance and she’s being taken care of, and we don’t miss anything in terms of her health, because that’s scary.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, the two live together in California’s Central Valley with their extended family — Garcia’s sister and her two children, Garcia’s other sister and brother and their parents. During the week, Garcia commutes daily to the San Francisco Bay Area for work. On the weekends, she spends most of her time with Guadalupe. They often walk her 2-year-old cousin to the local park, where he climbs up and down the play structure, calling for “Tita,” his nickname for Guadalupe, to chase him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tight-knit feeling, the family support — it all feels like it could change in an instant for Garcia and her daughter. The Supreme Court may not make a final decision on DACA until June. But the possibility of being separated from her mother already feels real to Guadalupe, already makes her anxious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afraid she might lose her DACA status after Trump became president, Garcia drew up notarized papers making her younger sister, who is a U.S. citizen, the legal guardian of Guadalupe, in case she is deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole atmosphere we’re creating, that somehow it’s OK to threaten to split up a family, is devastating to a kid,” said Ted Lempert, president of Children Now, an advocacy organization based in Oakland that also signed on to the statement submitted to the court. “That uncertainty and fear has a huge impact on a kid’s health and well-being.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That assertion is backed up by research that says that when children live with the fear of a parent’s deportation, they are more likely to experience anxiety and depression and perform poorly in school or drop out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guadalupe has plans to attend Cal State Fullerton after high school, then go to medical school in New York. She wants to be a pediatrician. Her mom is proud of her daughter’s dreams. Garcia said she also had good grades in high school, until she realized what it meant that she was undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t think I could go to college, and I kind of like gave up,” Garcia said. “I was a good student, I had good grades, I had a really good GPA. I felt like I hit a wall and I couldn’t go or do anything when I realized I was an [undocumented] immigrant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Ted Lempert, President of Children Now\"]'The whole atmosphere we’re creating, that somehow it’s OK to threaten to split up a family, is devastating to a kid.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia worries that her own immigration status will derail her daughter’s dreams. She’s already heard her daughter say she’ll protect her mom, apply for immigration papers for her, make sure she’s able to stay. But Garcia doesn’t know if that’s even a possibility. Under current immigration law, most undocumented immigrants are barred from even applying for legal residency, even if they have U.S. citizen children or spouses, unless they leave the country for 10 years. Even then there is no guarantee the application would be approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish she didn’t have to worry about this type of thing,” Garcia said. “I wish that this wasn’t a fear that she has. I want her to focus on being a kid, or being a teenager, or making sure she has her life. I don’t want her to feel like she’s responsible for me. She’ll hit a wall like I hit a wall. I don’t want that feeling for her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hugging her daughter close after a Sunday walk to the park, Garcia joked that Guadalupe is almost an adult, that she’ll soon leave home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s OK, Mom, you have three years left. You’re almost done,” Guadalupe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Am I?” Garcia answered, turning serious. “No. Never done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s always been her and I,” she said. “We’ve been through a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They leaned into each other, holding on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"An estimated 72,600 children in California have parents who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a federal program that provides temporary protection from deportation to unauthorized immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.

To apply, immigrants had to be between 15 and 30 years old, have been brought to the U.S. when they were younger than 16 and lived here for at least five years. They also had to either be in school, have graduated from high school or received a GED certificate or be veterans of the Armed Forces or the Coast Guard, and have no convictions for felonies, significant misdemeanors or multiple misdemeanors. Nationwide, nearly 700,000 people are currently protected under DACA, according to the most recent data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said DACA has helped her provide for Guadalupe — it allows her to work as an accountant at a computer company, where she has health insurance that has been critical to care for her daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guadalupe was born with a birth defect that affects her kidneys.

They often walk her 2-year-old cousin to the local park, where he climbs up and down the play structure, calling for “Tita,” his nickname for Guadalupe, to chase him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tight-knit feeling, the family support — it all feels like it could change in an instant for Garcia and her daughter.
