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. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Border Patrol agents in Yuma said they arrested nearly 450 migrants in Western Arizona this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the busy ports of entry already have long lines and waits, forcing immigration officials to tell some migrants to turn around and come back to make their claims. Even despite that, illegal crossings are historically low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlogs have become especially bad in recent months at crossings in California, Arizona and Texas, with some people waiting five weeks to try to claim asylum at San Diego's main crossing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States,\" Trump said in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-addressing-mass-migration-southern-border-united-states/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proclamation\u003c/a>, calling it a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States.'\u003ccite>President Trump, in his proclamation\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Administration officials said those denied asylum under the new rules may be eligible for similar forms of protection if they fear returning to their countries, though they would be subject to a tougher threshold. Those forms of protection include \"withholding of removal\" — which is similar to asylum, but doesn't allow for green cards or bringing families into the U.S. too — or protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security officials said they were adding staffing at the border crossings to manage the expected crush, but it's not clear how migrants, specifically families, would be held as their cases are adjudicated. Family detention centers are largely at capacity. Trump has said he wanted to erect \"tent cities,\" but nothing has been funded or decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is also working with Mexico in an effort to send some migrants back across the border. Right now, laws allow only Mexican nationals to be swiftly returned and increasingly those claiming asylum are from Central America, not Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump pushed immigration issues hard in the days leading up to Tuesday's midterm elections, railing against the caravans that are still hundreds of miles from the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has made little mention of the issue since the election, but has sent troops to the border in response. As of Thursday, there were more than 5,600 U.S. troops deployed, with about 550 actually working on the border in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also suggested he'd \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702389/trump-says-he-will-void-birthright-citizenship-law-through-executive-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revoke the right to citizenship for babies born to non-U.S. citizens on American soil\u003c/a> and erect massive \"tent cities\" to detain migrants. Those issues were not addressed by the proclamation. But Trump insisted the citizenship issue would be pushed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're signing it. We're doing it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has long said immigration officials are drowning in asylum cases partly because people falsely claim asylum and then live in the U.S. with work permits. In 2017, the U.S. fielded 331,700 asylum claims, nearly double the number two years earlier and surpassing Germany as the highest in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrants who cross illegally are generally arrested and often seek asylum or some other form of protection. Claims have spiked in recent years and the immigration court backlog has more than doubled to 1.1 million cases in about two years, according to Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Generally, only about 20 percent of applicants are approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how many people en route to the U.S. will even make it to the border. Roughly 5,000 migrants — more than 1,700 under the age of 18 — sheltered in a Mexico City sports complex decided to depart Friday for the northern city of Tijuana, opting for the longer but likely safer route to the U.S. border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar caravans have gathered regularly over the years and have generally dwindled by the time they reach the southern border, particularly to Tijuana. Most have passed largely unnoticed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Elliot Spagat in San Diego and Jill Colvin and Zeke Miller in Washington contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those forms of protection include \"withholding of removal\" — which is similar to asylum, but doesn't allow for green cards or bringing families into the U.S. too — or protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security officials said they were adding staffing at the border crossings to manage the expected crush, but it's not clear how migrants, specifically families, would be held as their cases are adjudicated. Family detention centers are largely at capacity. Trump has said he wanted to erect \"tent cities,\" but nothing has been funded or decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is also working with Mexico in an effort to send some migrants back across the border. Right now, laws allow only Mexican nationals to be swiftly returned and increasingly those claiming asylum are from Central America, not Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump pushed immigration issues hard in the days leading up to Tuesday's midterm elections, railing against the caravans that are still hundreds of miles from the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has made little mention of the issue since the election, but has sent troops to the border in response. As of Thursday, there were more than 5,600 U.S. troops deployed, with about 550 actually working on the border in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also suggested he'd \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702389/trump-says-he-will-void-birthright-citizenship-law-through-executive-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revoke the right to citizenship for babies born to non-U.S. citizens on American soil\u003c/a> and erect massive \"tent cities\" to detain migrants. Those issues were not addressed by the proclamation. But Trump insisted the citizenship issue would be pushed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're signing it. We're doing it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has long said immigration officials are drowning in asylum cases partly because people falsely claim asylum and then live in the U.S. with work permits. In 2017, the U.S. fielded 331,700 asylum claims, nearly double the number two years earlier and surpassing Germany as the highest in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrants who cross illegally are generally arrested and often seek asylum or some other form of protection. Claims have spiked in recent years and the immigration court backlog has more than doubled to 1.1 million cases in about two years, according to Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Generally, only about 20 percent of applicants are approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how many people en route to the U.S. will even make it to the border. Roughly 5,000 migrants — more than 1,700 under the age of 18 — sheltered in a Mexico City sports complex decided to depart Friday for the northern city of Tijuana, opting for the longer but likely safer route to the U.S. border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar caravans have gathered regularly over the years and have generally dwindled by the time they reach the southern border, particularly to Tijuana. Most have passed largely unnoticed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Elliot Spagat in San Diego and Jill Colvin and Zeke Miller in Washington contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-files-notice-appeal-and-intends-petition-immediate-supreme-court-review\">statement\u003c/a>, the department called that a \"rare step.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Supreme Court denied that request.

Instead of providing a policy explanation for withdrawing DACA, the Trump administration claims that the program was always illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department maintains that position and has vigorously defended the president's authority to end DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The last administration started DACA without a mandate or even an authorization from Congress or the courts; this administration can therefore end DACA at any time,\" Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement Monday. \"That is what we have done, and it was the lawful thing to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey Davidson, an attorney representing the Regents of the University of California, said in a statement that the case should \"be reviewed in the ordinary course.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the second time the Trump administration has attempted to shortcut the normal appellate process by seeking Supreme Court review prior to any decision by the Courts of Appeals,\" Davidson said. \"The irregularity of the government's procedural choices mirrors the irregularity of the government's rescission of DACA itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, it's worth noting that the status of DACA recipients also could be resolved \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/09/06/548766330/here-s-how-congress-could-act-to-save-daca\">through an act of Congress \u003c/a>— but in recent years, Congress has had a notoriously difficult time taking action on immigration issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Hernandez and a lot of young Latinos like her — many motivated, some less so — could be pivotal to what happens in this grape-growing region with a disappointing history of voter turnout. That history explains why get-out-the-vote campaigns hoping to energize thousands of voters have been sweeping through California’s Central Valley in recent weeks, as labor groups and immigrant rights activists aim to send a message to President Donald J. Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the eye of the storm: the district’s congressman, U.S. Rep. David Valadao, a Republican who has defied the odds by being elected three times in a district where Democrats hold a registration advantage and Hillary Clinton was victorious just two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Youth Get Involved\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There’s no escaping Delano’s dramatic past. Not far from the roadside shrine commemorating the Garcias, the United Farm Workers’ original adobe headquarters, “Forty Acres,” is now a national historic landmark — something few would have imagined in the late 1960s here in Kern County. A bronze plaque and other markers explain Delano’s place in a chapter of American history that still rankles some conservatives and divides people here even today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a five-year strike and a national boycott campaign for the UFW to obtain its first union contract in 1970 benefiting Mexican-American and Mexican and Filipino immigrant grape laborers. As door-to-door voter turnout campaigns tick up to Election Day, Forty Acres is a reminder that change can take root slowly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703753\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703753\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-800x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-800x300.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-160x60.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1020x382.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1200x450.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1180x442.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-960x360.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-240x90.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-375x140.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-520x195.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Delano is home to Forty Acres, now a national historic landmark.

Out of the 53 seats allotted to California in the House of Representatives, only 14 districts are held by Republicans in a state that’s been gradually turning deep blue for years now. Delano, 77 percent Latino, sits in one of the GOP pockets: the sprawling 21st Congressional District. The Almanac of American Politics says Valadao has won here against Democratic candidates “who have consistently under-performed initial expectations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stretching more than 150 miles northwest to southeast, the Valley district includes parts of Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern counties and a piece of the city of Bakersfield. The district is also home to a smattering of small cities, Naval Air Station Lemoore, a major fighter base, and mile after mile of crops and dairy farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interest in midterm elections is usually tepid compared to presidential races. But it’s the age of Trump, and California is a state where Latinos, mostly Mexican-American, are now the single largest demographic.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“As a child of farmworkers, I really want to vote.” \u003ccite>Yazmin Hernandez, 22 \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Against this backdrop, Democrats hope that more door-to-door contact with “low-propensity” voters and “ticket splitters” will channel that anti-Trump sentiment into victories in at least a few GOP-held districts. If that happens, GOP California could shrink more and contribute to “flipping” the Republican-held U.S. House of Representatives to Democrats. But Valadao has not been alone in bucking the tide; neighboring conservative districts are held by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702053/the-nations-most-expensive-congressional-race-is-in-the-central-valley\"> rising conservative star Devin Nunes.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats would dearly love to do better here.

We don’t know if the next ICE pursuit will be for one our families,” said Bryan Osorio, 22, who grew up in Delano. He explained the personal stakes for so many here during a meeting at Delano’s sole Starbucks. The coffee shop wasn’t far from where workers, swaddled in scarfs to fend off dust, were gleaning the last of this area’s gargantuan crop of table grapes to ship back East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703756\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-800x534.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-375x250.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-520x347.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4.jpeg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bryan Osorio, 22, of Delano, talks to an 80-year-old Delano voter.

It showcased Trump signing a memo accelerating biological reviews of water systems that Central Valley farmers — and workers — hope will divert more water from California rivers bearing endangered species. Trump’s move was met here with strong approval, and there was Valadao by his side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its tight bond with agribusiness, the valley is also one of California’s most culturally conservative regions. Evangelical churches are prominent, along with conservative talk radio in English and Spanish. Some local Latino activists suggest that Valadao has benefited at the polls because some voters think he is of Mexican heritage. In reality, Valadao is of Portuguese descent, as is Nunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what gives Democrats hope for this election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s lacerating rhetoric about Mexican immigrants has upset a lot of people, so even if they regard Valadao as moderate, Trump has further tarnished the Republican brand in California. About 62 percent of the 21st district’s residents who are eligible to register to vote are Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These immigrants risk their lives to work here,” said Mexican-American Erica Cruz, 48, a self-employed hairdresser whose husband used to be undocumented. “Latinos are getting picked on.

But he can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going back years, Republican politicians and agribusiness companies in California have acknowledged that they depend on immigrant workers, many of whom likely don’t have authentic work documents.

Obamacare was a boon to many low-income residents here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district chose Democrat Hillary Clinton over Trump by more than 15 points in 2016, making it one of seven GOP-held Congressional districts where the Democrat prevailed. But even though Democrats in the 21st had an estimated 16-point registration advantage over Republicans, voters returned Valadao to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We share a history as the children of immigrant parents.

A bank seized Valadao’s family farm in June due to $8 million in unpaid loans, a crisis Valadao said exemplifies the travails of farmers he serves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A mild-mannered man, he recently posed in Arizona with President Trump, along with Nunes and McCarthy of Bakersfield, who hopes to vault from GOP majority leader to Speaker of the House if the GOP retains control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The photo op on Oct. 19 was all about irrigation water — a massive issue here. It showcased Trump signing a memo accelerating biological reviews of water systems that Central Valley farmers — and workers — hope will divert more water from California rivers bearing endangered species. Trump’s move was met here with strong approval, and there was Valadao by his side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its tight bond with agribusiness, the valley is also one of California’s most culturally conservative regions. Evangelical churches are prominent, along with conservative talk radio in English and Spanish. Some local Latino activists suggest that Valadao has benefited at the polls because some voters think he is of Mexican heritage. In reality, Valadao is of Portuguese descent, as is Nunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what gives Democrats hope for this election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s lacerating rhetoric about Mexican immigrants has upset a lot of people, so even if they regard Valadao as moderate, Trump has further tarnished the Republican brand in California. About 62 percent of the 21st district’s residents who are eligible to register to vote are Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These immigrants risk their lives to work here,” said Mexican-American Erica Cruz, 48, a self-employed hairdresser whose husband used to be undocumented. “Latinos are getting picked on. This town thrives on Latinos…Trump is putting us in a terrible position and we’re scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s irksome to Cruz because it’s plain to her that the region’s agribusiness industry — America’s farm powerhouse — has benefited from people who shoulder all the risks that come with undocumented immigration. Workers have assumed the burden of paying smugglers thousands of dollars to get them over the border, so they can take back-breaking jobs they obtain by showing fake documents that employers have no obligation to authenticate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, it’s common for there to be no bright line between documented and undocumented in towns like Delano because there are many “mixed status” families, with some members citizens, others legal residents and still others who are undocumented, “sin papales,” without papers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703757\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703757\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-800x534.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5.jpeg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Immigrant workers are the backbone of agribusiness in California’s 21st Congressional District and other GOP-held districts in the Central Valley.

Veronica Terriquez, who is a UC Santa Cruz associate professor of sociology, organized the Freedom Summer project. Research, she said, shows that kids are often “socialized” to vote and learn about candidates and issues within their family.

She said some Central Valley school administrators, worried about controversy, were initially hesitant to allow returning college students to talk with younger kids and conduct registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the high school students asked if there were concerns if she, a citizen, registered, and her parents were undocumented,” Terriquez added.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11697624/why-is-it-so-hard-to-engage-latino-voters-theyre-young-and-historically-neglected\">Why Is It So Hard to Engage Latino Voters?

On their rounds, canvassers explain the union’s slate choices, which include Valadao’s opponent, TJ Cox.

She had the idea for NAL before then as immigration reform continued to fail in Congress and a growing number of anti-immigrant bills moved through statehouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt it was important we were showing up for ourselves to be the policymakers that we needed because we kept working on behalf of other candidates who were ostensibly allies but were not actually getting the job done,” she said, noting that the group’s aim was to build a pipeline of candidates “that reflect, that look like America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-eight of the group’s alums ran in 2016, with 68 percent winning; 54 of their graduates are running in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many immigrants are seeking office in California, like Republican Cristina Osmeña, who is challenging House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for her San Francisco seat, and Farrah Khan who is vying for a seat on the Irvine City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Barriers to Running\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For NAL’s participants, the three most common barriers to running for office are: markers of immigrant identity (like race, religion, legal status, appearance), a lack of money or financial network, and no political experience or knowledge, Bhojwani said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the group tells would-be candidates they have what it takes. And they stress the value of their backgrounds: “That the immigrant experience is an asset rather than a deficit,” she said. “The immigrant narrative as part of the American story is a critical underpinning of our training.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the case for Young Kim, a South Korean immigrant who came to California via Guam and Hawaii. A Republican running for the (mostly) Orange County congressional seat now held by retiring GOP Rep. Ed Royce. She already served in the State Assembly and if Kim wins this time, she will become the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim said she \u003cem>wants\u003c/em> people to know she is an immigrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very diverse district, which I think I understand having come from all different areas,” she said. “I know how hard it is to adjust and assimilate into a new country ... I can bring all of those different perspectives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she said, her immigration policy would be shaped around what her constituents want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people will say because Young Kim is a Republican that I will go automatically with our Republican leadership or (what our) platform says,” she said “I am running as my own person because my district needs a representative who understands what our needs are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703639\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703639\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-800x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-800x512.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-160x102.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-1020x652.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-1200x768.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Republican candidate for US Congress Young Kim, 55, (R) takes a selfie with a supporter outside her campaign office in Yorba Linda, California, October 6, 2018.

That’s when the council passed a resolution saying it would seek to block enforcement of SB54 -- California’s sanctuary law -- pending a lawsuit brought by the federal government challenging it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that moment, Valencia looked at the councilmembers and thought: \"You are in my seat.\" “There’s no one in city council that looks like me,” said Valencia, who also identifies as a lesbian Latina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I realized that unless someone like me -- with my perspective, my experience, my background -- was sitting there, that the population we have in the city of Orange -- which we have a high population of immigrants -- would not have a voice, would not have protection or would not even be counted,” said Valencia. “I wanted to make sure that at least I could use my voice to help others not feel the way I felt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Jaya Badiga, a 44-year-old immigrant from India and naturalized citizen running for Folsom Cordova Unified School District near Sacramento, representation is a driving factor, too. But she’s shied away from saying that’s why people should vote for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These days, with everything on the national forefront, I don't want the narrative to be a school board member wants to be known for her cultural heritage. And, because there is a growing body of Indian American or cultural ethnically Indian or South Asian students, therefore we should vote for her,” said Badiga, 44. “But that is a huge part of my identity. So there has been talk in the community from some members on the board that they're glad to see representation from the community. And I reciprocate that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703640\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703640\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jaya Badiga, center in white shirt, with supporters.

But she’s shied away from saying that’s why people should vote for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These days, with everything on the national forefront, I don't want the narrative to be a school board member wants to be known for her cultural heritage. And, because there is a growing body of Indian American or cultural ethnically Indian or South Asian students, therefore we should vote for her,” said Badiga, 44. “But that is a huge part of my identity. So there has been talk in the community from some members on the board that they're glad to see representation from the community.

"content": "\u003cp>In one respect, this is a typical midterm election — a race shaped as a referendum on the president and the party in power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are so many ways in which this election is anything but typical. We’ve seen a surge in first-time candidates, especially women and minorities. In the past several midterms, the party in power was relatively complacent compared with the party hoping to be in power. Heading into Election Day, Democrats have an enthusiasm edge, but Republicans have been getting steadily amped up, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, President Trump has embraced the referendum on himself in a way other presidents have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a sign of tribal divisions that are driving much of what has happened in the 2018 campaign, and voters will resolve what remains to be seen — the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five questions that could be answered on election night. They will determine not just who controls Congress, but how American politics changes after these consequential midterms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. It’s probably a blue wave, but how big and wide?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every indicator says that Democrats have the advantage going into Election Day in the fight for the House. What’s unclear is whether the blue wave will be big enough to get Democrats the 23-seat net pickup they need to take back the House majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gender gap is huge and working in their favor. Independent voters have broken strongly for the Democrats, and Democrats are raising tremendous amounts of money — in both small contributions to individual candidates and from big outside donors, like billionaire Michael Bloomberg. The size of this “green wave” of cash has surprised and worried Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in order to make changes moving forward, Democrats must do more than just take back the House, they must do well in gubernatorial races and in the battle for state legislatures across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is key because 2020 is a census year, and redistricting is right around the corner. So Democrats want to be able to exercise some control over the state-based process of drawing congressional and state legislative district boundaries — a process they’ve been effectively shut out of in many crucial states since their big losses in 2010. That has provided a big structural advantage to the GOP ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Can Democrats effectively navigate the \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>very \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>different House and Senate landscapes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In midterm elections, the House and Senate races tend to move in tandem, but this year, they’re heading in two very different directions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate battleground couldn’t be worse for Democrats — it’s a group of red states like Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana and West Virginia, where Trump won by double digits in 2016. The president has been campaigning plenty in those places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those states, where incumbent Democratic senators are fighting for their political lives, the key voter is a blue-collar white man. In the battlegrounds for the House — which are in mostly affluent, highly-educated suburbs — the key voter is an angry, college-educated white woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the cycle started, Republicans hoped they would pick up as many as five Senate seats, but most of these races are still very close. In only one, North Dakota, do polls show the Democrat, Heidi Heitkamp, consistently trailing by a significant margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democrats have also struggled to pull ahead in states where they had hoped to pick up seats — Nevada, the only state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 that has an incumbent Republican senator up for re-election, is still within the margin of error, as is the open seat in Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Tennessee, Democrats had been hopeful about Phil Bredesen, a moderate, pro-business former governor. But Bredesen has fallen behind his Republican opponent, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, in the most recent polls. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz also remains the favorite for re-election, despite the energetic and well-funded campaign of Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democrats’ goal is to hold their own if they can, limiting their losses, so they’re not out of striking distance in the next two cycles, when more Republican senators are up for re-election in more purple states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Can Republicans hold in the Midwest, and will young people and Latinos turn out for Democrats?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 2016, it looked as if Trump was going to turn the battleground states of Iowa and Ohio red. But Republicans are now worrying about the Midwest — once a source of Trump’s greatest strength. GOP candidates are struggling in races up and down the ballot in those two states. And in the states that vaulted Trump to the White House — Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — they’re not doing much better and often worse. For now, Republicans’ hopes of turning Minnesota red have been put on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats also have plenty to worry about. Polls show a decided lack of enthusiasm among Hispanics. That’s not a problem everywhere, but it really matters in places like Arizona, Nevada, Florida and Texas. If Democrats can’t fire up Latino voters with a nativist president in the White House doubling down on immigration, they really have some work to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are also concerned that young people, who polls show disapprove of Trump and his party by huge margins, may stay home (as they usually do in midterm elections) despite the surge of activism among young people after the Parkland, Fla., school shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Can Trump transfer his popularity with his base to his party?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every midterm is a referendum on the president and his party, and Trump has embraced that dynamic more enthusiastically than any previous president. He tells his supporters that even though he’s not on the ballot, they should vote as though he is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, presidents have had trouble transferring their popularity in midterm elections — it’s usually a president’s \u003cem>unpopularity\u003c/em> that motivates the other side’s voters. Trump had no problem boosting the fortunes of the Republican candidates whom he endorsed in GOP primaries, but it remains to be seen whether he can heave any Republican general election candidate over the finish line his fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. What about Florida, Florida, Florida? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The single most important race this fall is … the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659634372/governor-race-in-florida-nation-s-largest-swing-state-may-be-a-test-of-the-presi\">Florida governor’s race\u003c/a>. Florida is the mother of all swing states, and Trump realistically can’t be re-elected without it. He needs to get GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis elected governor so that all the political power that comes with that office can be used on Trump’s behalf in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrat Andrew Gillum has had a small, but consistent lead in that race — and Gillum may even be helping incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson in his Senate race against Rick Scott, the current GOP governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once again, it’s the state to watch on election night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

We’ve seen a surge in first-time candidates, especially women and minorities. In the past several midterms, the party in power was relatively complacent compared with the party hoping to be in power. Heading into Election Day, Democrats have an enthusiasm edge, but Republicans have been getting steadily amped up, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, President Trump has embraced the referendum on himself in a way other presidents have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a sign of tribal divisions that are driving much of what has happened in the 2018 campaign, and voters will resolve what remains to be seen — the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five questions that could be answered on election night.

It’s probably a blue wave, but how big and wide?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every indicator says that Democrats have the advantage going into Election Day in the fight for the House. What’s unclear is whether the blue wave will be big enough to get Democrats the 23-seat net pickup they need to take back the House majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gender gap is huge and working in their favor. Independent voters have broken strongly for the Democrats, and Democrats are raising tremendous amounts of money — in both small contributions to individual candidates and from big outside donors, like billionaire Michael Bloomberg. The size of this “green wave” of cash has surprised and worried Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in order to make changes moving forward, Democrats must do more than just take back the House, they must do well in gubernatorial races and in the battle for state legislatures across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is key because 2020 is a census year, and redistricting is right around the corner. So Democrats want to be able to exercise some control over the state-based process of drawing congressional and state legislative district boundaries — a process they’ve been effectively shut out of in many crucial states since their big losses in 2010. That has provided a big structural advantage to the GOP ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Can Democrats effectively navigate the \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>very \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>different House and Senate landscapes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In midterm elections, the House and Senate races tend to move in tandem, but this year, they’re heading in two very different directions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate battleground couldn’t be worse for Democrats — it’s a group of red states like Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana and West Virginia, where Trump won by double digits in 2016. The president has been campaigning plenty in those places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those states, where incumbent Democratic senators are fighting for their political lives, the key voter is a blue-collar white man. In the battlegrounds for the House — which are in mostly affluent, highly-educated suburbs — the key voter is an angry, college-educated white woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the cycle started, Republicans hoped they would pick up as many as five Senate seats, but most of these races are still very close. In only one, North Dakota, do polls show the Democrat, Heidi Heitkamp, consistently trailing by a significant margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democrats have also struggled to pull ahead in states where they had hoped to pick up seats — Nevada, the only state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 that has an incumbent Republican senator up for re-election, is still within the margin of error, as is the open seat in Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Tennessee, Democrats had been hopeful about Phil Bredesen, a moderate, pro-business former governor. But Bredesen has fallen behind his Republican opponent, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, in the most recent polls. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz also remains the favorite for re-election, despite the energetic and well-funded campaign of Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democrats’ goal is to hold their own if they can, limiting their losses, so they’re not out of striking distance in the next two cycles, when more Republican senators are up for re-election in more purple states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Can Republicans hold in the Midwest, and will young people and Latinos turn out for Democrats?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 2016, it looked as if Trump was going to turn the battleground states of Iowa and Ohio red. But Republicans are now worrying about the Midwest — once a source of Trump’s greatest strength. GOP candidates are struggling in races up and down the ballot in those two states. And in the states that vaulted Trump to the White House — Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — they’re not doing much better and often worse. For now, Republicans’ hopes of turning Minnesota red have been put on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats also have plenty to worry about. Polls show a decided lack of enthusiasm among Hispanics. That’s not a problem everywhere, but it really matters in places like Arizona, Nevada, Florida and Texas. If Democrats can’t fire up Latino voters with a nativist president in the White House doubling down on immigration, they really have some work to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are also concerned that young people, who polls show disapprove of Trump and his party by huge margins, may stay home (as they usually do in midterm elections) despite the surge of activism among young people after the Parkland, Fla., school shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Can Trump transfer his popularity with his base to his party?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every midterm is a referendum on the president and his party, and Trump has embraced that dynamic more enthusiastically than any previous president. He tells his supporters that even though he’s not on the ballot, they should vote as though he is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, presidents have had trouble transferring their popularity in midterm elections — it’s usually a president’s \u003cem>unpopularity\u003c/em> that motivates the other side’s voters. Trump had no problem boosting the fortunes of the Republican candidates whom he endorsed in GOP primaries, but it remains to be seen whether he can heave any Republican general election candidate over the finish line his fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. What about Florida, Florida, Florida? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The single most important race this fall is … the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659634372/governor-race-in-florida-nation-s-largest-swing-state-may-be-a-test-of-the-presi\">Florida governor’s race\u003c/a>. Florida is the mother of all swing states, and Trump realistically can’t be re-elected without it. He needs to get GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis elected governor so that all the political power that comes with that office can be used on Trump’s behalf in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrat Andrew Gillum has had a small, but consistent lead in that race — and Gillum may even be helping incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson in his Senate race against Rick Scott, the current GOP governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The president’s latest target is asylum-seekers, whom he accuses of exploiting “loopholes” in U.S. immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a televised speech from the White House on Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/01/663012881/in-broad-attack-on-asylum-seekers-trump-takes-campaign-message-to-white-house\">Trump threatened to close the Southwest border to asylum-seekers\u003c/a> — including the latest group of Central American migrants making their way through Mexico — unless they present themselves at official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But refugee and asylum experts say his plan would violate \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-29/0-0-0-1687.html#0-0-0-192\">U.S. law\u003c/a>. They say the president’s remarks about asylum were riddled with inaccuracies and misleading statements intended to stoke fear of immigrants and drive the president’s supporters to the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ll focus here on five statements President Trump made Thursday in the Roosevelt Room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. An overwhelming influx\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The current influx, if not halted, threatens to overwhelm our immigration system and our communities, and poses unacceptable dangers to the entire nation.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The total number of migrants apprehended at the Southwest border was actually down slightly last year, to about 521,000, and remains far below the kind of apprehension numbers that were routine in the 1990s and 2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Trump administration argues that the current “crisis” is the result of a major shift in who is showing up at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A generation ago, migrants apprehended at the border were largely single adults, mostly from Mexico, who could be deported relatively quickly after they were caught. Today migrants are much more likely to be coming from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/660010173/u-s-apprehended-record-number-of-migrant-families-at-southwest-border\">a record number of apprehended migrants were part of family units\u003c/a>. That means they have greater protections under U.S. law. In practice, many of these asylum-seekers are released into the U.S. to await their day in court, which can take months or years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. No more “catch and release”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“These policies lead to the release of illegal aliens into our communities after they’ve been apprehended. But we’re not releasing anymore. Big change, as of a couple of days ago. We’re going to no longer release. We’re going to catch; we’re not going to release. They’re going to stay with us until the deportation hearing or the asylum hearing takes place. So we’re not releasing them into the community.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In fact, under U.S. law, migrant families who have requested asylum are not considered illegal immigrants. And they are being released in large numbers up and down the border. In El Paso, Texas, Ruben Garcia, director of a local shelter called Annunciation House, told reporter Mallory Falk of member station KRWG the shelter had received 332 people Thursday released from immigration custody and are expecting 225 more Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Arizona, Matthew Casey of member station KJZZ spoke with an official at Capellania Cristiana Llamados Para Servir, an organization working with churches in metropolitan Phoenix. The official confirmed the organization expects 90 families at two different churches on Friday and 400 more migrants from Yuma to start arriving in Phoenix late this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These migrant families are generally released to join relatives in other parts of the country and will be issued a Notice to Appear in immigration court for their asylum hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. They never show up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Then they never show up, almost. It’s like a level of 3 percent. They never show up for the trial. So by the time their trial comes, they’re gone. Nobody knows where they are.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Actually, the majority of asylum-seekers do show up to court. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/fysb16/download\">Department of Justice statistics for the 2016 fiscal year\u003c/a>, only about 2 in 5 cases were decided in absentia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant-rights advocates say the number of asylum-seekers who do show up would be even higher if they had attorneys and more support from court staff to let them know when and where to show up. They point to a pilot program that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/18/629496174/alternatives-to-detention-are-cheaper-than-jails-but-cases-take-far-longer\">highly successful at getting immigrants to show up in court\u003c/a> before it was canceled by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Abusing asylum\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“This endemic abuse of the asylum system makes a mockery of our immigration system, displacing legitimate asylum-seekers — and there are legitimate asylum-seekers — while rewarding those who abuse or defraud our system, which is almost everybody. Everybody is abusing it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Immigration lawyers say this is a wild exaggeration. It’s true that only a fraction of all asylum claims are actually successful. Last year, \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/491/\">immigration courts rejected more than 60 percent of asylum claims\u003c/a>, a number that has been steadily rising since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues that rejection rate is itself evidence of fraud. But immigrants-rights advocates dispute that. They say immigration courts are supposed to decide each asylum case on its own merits and that the low acceptance rate is simply evidence that the system is working — and that asylum cases are not easy to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. It’s an invasion\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Some people call it an invasion. It’s like an invasion. … These are tough people, in many cases. A lot of young men, strong men.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The president has claimed repeatedly, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659917659/fact-check-president-trumps-false-claims-on-migrant-caravan-tax-cuts\">without evidence\u003c/a>, that the migrants include dangerous criminals and “unknown Middle Easterners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reporters on the ground say the migrants comprise mainly women and children who are fleeing from violence and extreme poverty in Central America. Refugee and asylum experts accuse the president of fearmongering to rally his political base for the midterm elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a “tragic irony” in portraying the asylum-seekers as a marauding army, said Karen Musalo, director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at U.C. Hastings College of the Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Individuals have come together to walk north in a caravan because the journey north for asylum-seekers has been so dangerous,” Musalo said in an interview. “These are very vulnerable individuals, desperately fleeing violence, who have come together as a group to have the protection and solidarity of each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

In practice, many of these asylum-seekers are released into the U.S. to await their day in court, which can take months or years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. No more “catch and release”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“These policies lead to the release of illegal aliens into our communities after they’ve been apprehended. But we’re not releasing anymore. Big change, as of a couple of days ago. We’re going to no longer release. We’re going to catch; we’re not going to release. They’re going to stay with us until the deportation hearing or the asylum hearing takes place. So we’re not releasing them into the community.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In fact, under U.S. law, migrant families who have requested asylum are not considered illegal immigrants. And they are being released in large numbers up and down the border. In El Paso, Texas, Ruben Garcia, director of a local shelter called Annunciation House, told reporter Mallory Falk of member station KRWG the shelter had received 332 people Thursday released from immigration custody and are expecting 225 more Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Arizona, Matthew Casey of member station KJZZ spoke with an official at Capellania Cristiana Llamados Para Servir, an organization working with churches in metropolitan Phoenix. The official confirmed the organization expects 90 families at two different churches on Friday and 400 more migrants from Yuma to start arriving in Phoenix late this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These migrant families are generally released to join relatives in other parts of the country and will be issued a Notice to Appear in immigration court for their asylum hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. They never show up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Then they never show up, almost. It’s like a level of 3 percent. They never show up for the trial. So by the time their trial comes, they’re gone. Nobody knows where they are.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Actually, the majority of asylum-seekers do show up to court. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/fysb16/download\">Department of Justice statistics for the 2016 fiscal year\u003c/a>, only about 2 in 5 cases were decided in absentia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant-rights advocates say the number of asylum-seekers who do show up would be even higher if they had attorneys and more support from court staff to let them know when and where to show up. They point to a pilot program that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/18/629496174/alternatives-to-detention-are-cheaper-than-jails-but-cases-take-far-longer\">highly successful at getting immigrants to show up in court\u003c/a> before it was canceled by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Abusing asylum\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“This endemic abuse of the asylum system makes a mockery of our immigration system, displacing legitimate asylum-seekers — and there are legitimate asylum-seekers — while rewarding those who abuse or defraud our system, which is almost everybody. Everybody is abusing it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Immigration lawyers say this is a wild exaggeration. It’s true that only a fraction of all asylum claims are actually successful. Last year, \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/491/\">immigration courts rejected more than 60 percent of asylum claims\u003c/a>, a number that has been steadily rising since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues that rejection rate is itself evidence of fraud. But immigrants-rights advocates dispute that. They say immigration courts are supposed to decide each asylum case on its own merits and that the low acceptance rate is simply evidence that the system is working — and that asylum cases are not easy to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. It’s an invasion\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Some people call it an invasion. It’s like an invasion. … These are tough people, in many cases. A lot of young men, strong men.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The president has claimed repeatedly, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659917659/fact-check-president-trumps-false-claims-on-migrant-caravan-tax-cuts\">without evidence\u003c/a>, that the migrants include dangerous criminals and “unknown Middle Easterners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reporters on the ground say the migrants comprise mainly women and children who are fleeing from violence and extreme poverty in Central America. Refugee and asylum experts accuse the president of fearmongering to rally his political base for the midterm elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a “tragic irony” in portraying the asylum-seekers as a marauding army, said Karen Musalo, director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at U.C. Hastings College of the Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Individuals have come together to walk north in a caravan because the journey north for asylum-seekers has been so dangerous,” Musalo said in an interview. “These are very vulnerable individuals, desperately fleeing violence, who have come together as a group to have the protection and solidarity of each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.
