In essence, like so many other rollouts by this unconventional president, he appears to be treating campaign issues like the proverbial cooked spaghetti, throwing a host of issues to the wall and seeing what sticks with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, if enacted, these plans could create significant financial, economic and environmental changes in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Education\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue\u003c/strong>: Many Republican lawmakers believe federal interference reached a high point under the Obama administration, which was notably aggressive on civil rights.

In essence, like so many other rollouts by this unconventional president, he appears to be treating campaign issues like the proverbial cooked spaghetti, throwing a host of issues to the wall and seeing what sticks with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, if enacted, these plans could create significant financial, economic and environmental changes in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Education\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue\u003c/strong>: Many Republican lawmakers believe federal interference reached a high point under the Obama administration, which was notably aggressive on civil rights.

This comes after a decades-long campaign by conservative groups -- many funded by the Koch Brothers and other natural resource industries -- to loosen environmental regulations that make it more difficult to extract those resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Potential Impact\u003c/strong>: The review will include six national monuments in California. The San Gabriel Mountains, Mojave Trails, Carrizo Plain, Giant Sequoia and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monuments will have their designations reviewed. The entire California coast is also a national monument, meaning offshore environmental protections enacted by President Bill Clinton and expanded by President Barack Obama could be reversed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That potential reversal comes as \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-25/trump-said-to-order-review-of-oil-drilling-off-california-coast\">Bloomberg reports\u003c/a> the Trump administration is planning to open up studies on the feasibility of offshore oil and gas drilling on California's coast. That has environmental activists like Marce Gutierrez-Graudins, founder of Azul in San Francisco, concerned the Trump administration is rapidly moving toward opening offshore drilling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We in California are very familiar with both the environmental and economic havoc that is caused by spills,\" Gutierrez-Graudins says. \"And it is something we do not want to revisit again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Of all students, at least one in three are believed to have a parent who’s an immigrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of Proposition N made San Francisco the first city in California to allow noncitizens with school-age children to vote, but only in school board elections. The idea is to give immigrant parents more of a voice in how the city’s public schools are run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That got a big thumbs-up from Carmen Flores at a recent school board meeting. Flores is from Nicaragua and has two kids in public schools. She's now a naturalized citizen and therefore allowed to vote in all elections. But she thinks noncitizens should also have a voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you allow the children to attend school, why can't a parent have the right to vote?\" Flores said. \"It doesn’t make sense not to do it. Schools in San Francisco are not good. You have to fight to get a really good public school. That’s what I did for my child.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the idea of noncitizens voting does not sit well with parent Nicole Powell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That’s why we pay taxes, this is why we vote,\" Powell said. \"These are things that are in place for a reason. So I personally feel like, you should be a citizen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco rejected ballot measures to allow noncitizen voting twice before finally passing it in November. San Francisco school board President \u003ca href=\"http://www.smartvoter.org/2014/11/04/ca/sf/vote/walton_s/bio.html\">Shamann Walton\u003c/a> acknowledges backers of Proposition N never imagined it would be enacted during a presidency deemed hostile to immigrants. But he says that shouldn't be a long-term concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We thought we would probably have a different leader in the White House,\" Walton said. \"But remember, presidencies don't last forever, thank God. But hopefully this policy does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure will take effect for November elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022, and will expire after that unless the Board of Supervisors adopts an ordinance to continue it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man responsible for implementing Proposition N is city elections chief John Arntz. He says his main focus isn’t the politics of this. It’s just making sure it comes off without a hitch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Potentially, there’s going to be a lot of attention to this and a lot of activity,\" Arntz said. \"Just stay to the goal and get it implemented and run the election, and everything else will pass by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once it’s up and running, San Francisco will join several small towns in Maryland that also allow noncitizens to cast ballots in school board elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the San Francisco School Board currently has no Asian-American members.

Your candidate won and so you might decide to register for a general election as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon and many other Republicans criticize California for not doing a better job of checking voter rolls and cross-referencing them with undocumented immigrants who get benefits, such as a California identification card for driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not saying turn them in,\" Dhillon says, \"but just for the integrity of the ballot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the record, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla says there's no evidence to support allegations that the state's voter rolls include many undocumented people who are ineligible to cast ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than two-thirds of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfusd.edu/en/employment/certificated-careers/teaching-careers/why-teach-with-sfusd/our-district-snapshot.html\" target=\"_blank\">K-12 students\u003c/a> in San Francisco's public schools are Latino or Asian-American. Of all students, at least one in three are believed to have a parent who’s an immigrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of Proposition N made San Francisco the first city in California to allow noncitizens with school-age children to vote, but only in school board elections. The idea is to give immigrant parents more of a voice in how the city’s public schools are run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That got a big thumbs-up from Carmen Flores at a recent school board meeting. Flores is from Nicaragua and has two kids in public schools. She's now a naturalized citizen and therefore allowed to vote in all elections. But she thinks noncitizens should also have a voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you allow the children to attend school, why can't a parent have the right to vote?\" Flores said. \"It doesn’t make sense not to do it. Schools in San Francisco are not good. You have to fight to get a really good public school. That’s what I did for my child.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the idea of noncitizens voting does not sit well with parent Nicole Powell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That’s why we pay taxes, this is why we vote,\" Powell said. \"These are things that are in place for a reason. So I personally feel like, you should be a citizen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco rejected ballot measures to allow noncitizen voting twice before finally passing it in November. San Francisco school board President \u003ca href=\"http://www.smartvoter.org/2014/11/04/ca/sf/vote/walton_s/bio.html\">Shamann Walton\u003c/a> acknowledges backers of Proposition N never imagined it would be enacted during a presidency deemed hostile to immigrants. But he says that shouldn't be a long-term concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We thought we would probably have a different leader in the White House,\" Walton said. \"But remember, presidencies don't last forever, thank God. But hopefully this policy does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure will take effect for November elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022, and will expire after that unless the Board of Supervisors adopts an ordinance to continue it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man responsible for implementing Proposition N is city elections chief John Arntz. He says his main focus isn’t the politics of this. It’s just making sure it comes off without a hitch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Potentially, there’s going to be a lot of attention to this and a lot of activity,\" Arntz said. \"Just stay to the goal and get it implemented and run the election, and everything else will pass by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once it’s up and running, San Francisco will join several small towns in Maryland that also allow noncitizens to cast ballots in school board elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the San Francisco School Board currently has no Asian-American members. KQED regrets the error.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

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

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

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

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