She has rappelled down into caves and gone up in helicopters for KQED’s The California Report but her favorite place to pursue a story is the High Sierra or any family-run bakery, of course. Alice has a masters in journalism from Columbia University and teaches at Fresno State. She is a California Healthline Regional Correspondent and a frequent contributor to Success magazine. In her free time, she skis and hikes, throws pottery, practices piano and looks out the window.",

In California, Turlock has the largest number of Assyrians, about 20,000. That’s a quarter of the town. And the civic club has become a gathering place for everyone, not just Assyrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s the city’s community center,” says David. “The majority of events are here. We have a lot of quinceaneras, weddings ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And funeral receptions. Like the one in early February for 92-year-old Hank Adams, the first Assyrian born in Turlock. His father, the Rev. Isaac Adams, founded an Assyrian farming community here in 1911.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not long after, in Turkey, the Ottoman Empire waged \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncas.rutgers.edu/center-study-genocide-conflict-resolution-and-human-rights/genocide-ottoman-greeks-1914-1923\">genocide\u003c/a> against Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, the Assyrians are never talked about,” says David. “There were 750,000 Assyrians massacred. And this genocide has been going on and on for the last 100 years. And we just had another genocide in 2014, where the Christians were being massacred because they were Christians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David says Assyrians have been persecuted over and over again. It’s why some Assyrians are not opposed to President Trump’s travel ban that targets seven majority-Muslim countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important for this country to protect its security interests, and for us as Assyrian-Americans it’s equally important, if not more important,\" says David.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he acknowledges it's complicated. The ban would also keep Assyrians out of the United States, at least temporarily. \"Of course we're not happy they're stuck there,” he says. “But it’s just another waiting process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community leader Carmen Morad says Assyrians continue to be \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/iraq-christians-persecuted-by-isis-60-minutes/\">persecuted\u003c/a> in Iraq and Syria by ISIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As you and I speak, there are Assyrian Christians that are in refugee camps. They are awaiting their resettlement paperwork to come,” she says. “Their homes have been destroyed. They are seeking an environment where they can go to school without fear of being blown up, where they can worship freely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the vetting process is rigorous and expensive. “Being a stateless nation, for them to be able to come over here, my opinion is they should be allowed to enter even though they still go through the vetting process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morad and I visit a family who has experienced the vetting process: Mervat Shlemoun and her 17-year-old son, Matius Anioel. They escaped Baghdad 10 years ago and ended up in Syria. It took them five years to come to California as refugees. Shlemoun feels fortunate she got a job at a fast-food place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Taco Bell,” she says. “Thanks for God.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11321856\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11321856\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Matius-800x943.jpg\" alt=\"Matius Anioel says he may return to Iraq one day to help his people.

We have a lot of quinceaneras, weddings ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And funeral receptions. Like the one in early February for 92-year-old Hank Adams, the first Assyrian born in Turlock. His father, the Rev. Isaac Adams, founded an Assyrian farming community here in 1911.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not long after, in Turkey, the Ottoman Empire waged \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncas.rutgers.edu/center-study-genocide-conflict-resolution-and-human-rights/genocide-ottoman-greeks-1914-1923\">genocide\u003c/a> against Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, the Assyrians are never talked about,” says David. “There were 750,000 Assyrians massacred. And this genocide has been going on and on for the last 100 years. And we just had another genocide in 2014, where the Christians were being massacred because they were Christians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David says Assyrians have been persecuted over and over again. It’s why some Assyrians are not opposed to President Trump’s travel ban that targets seven majority-Muslim countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important for this country to protect its security interests, and for us as Assyrian-Americans it’s equally important, if not more important,\" says David.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he acknowledges it's complicated. The ban would also keep Assyrians out of the United States, at least temporarily. \"Of course we're not happy they're stuck there,” he says. “But it’s just another waiting process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community leader Carmen Morad says Assyrians continue to be \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/iraq-christians-persecuted-by-isis-60-minutes/\">persecuted\u003c/a> in Iraq and Syria by ISIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As you and I speak, there are Assyrian Christians that are in refugee camps. They are awaiting their resettlement paperwork to come,” she says. “Their homes have been destroyed. They are seeking an environment where they can go to school without fear of being blown up, where they can worship freely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the vetting process is rigorous and expensive. “Being a stateless nation, for them to be able to come over here, my opinion is they should be allowed to enter even though they still go through the vetting process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morad and I visit a family who has experienced the vetting process: Mervat Shlemoun and her 17-year-old son, Matius Anioel. They escaped Baghdad 10 years ago and ended up in Syria. It took them five years to come to California as refugees. Shlemoun feels fortunate she got a job at a fast-food place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Taco Bell,” she says. “Thanks for God.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11321856\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11321856\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Matius-800x943.jpg\" alt=\"Matius Anioel says he may return to Iraq one day to help his people.

Today, it's the biggest berry producer in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1990s, the Reiter family started growing strawberries and raspberries in Mexico, in addition to California. It found regions in Mexico where the climate allowed them to grow the fruit — especially raspberries — during seasons of the year when it hadn't been feasible back home. \"Our move really was for year-round product, and quality,\" says Reiter, who is executive chairman of \u003ca href=\"http://www.berry.net/\">Reiter Associated Cos\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect at that same time, in 1994. But that's coincidence, Reiter says; NAFTA had very little to do with the move into Mexico. \"To tell you the truth, we paid minimal attention to that,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many U.S. fruit and vegetable growers have made the same move over the past two decades. They've all done it to expand their growing season, and also to cut costs. Farmworkers in Mexico get paid very little, compared with workers in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiter says that when he got to Mexico and met his Mexican partners, he discovered another reason to locate there. \"They're farmers. They want to be farmers. That \u003cem>is\u003c/em> their industry,\" he says. There's excitement about new fruit varieties, and new methods of growing crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 1992, raspberry exports from Mexico to the U.S. have gone from zero to $500 million each year. The increase in strawberry exports is similar. Total Mexican shipments of fruits and vegetables to the U.S. have increased by nine times over the last 25 years, to $12 billion a year. People in the industry say most of that increase is a result of U.S. companies setting up production in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump's criticism of trade with Mexico has unsettled the industry. He has talked about possibly taxing imports from Mexico or renegotiating NAFTA. Mexican officials have threatened to retaliate against American exports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Reiter says such moves would just force Americans to pay a little more for Mexican fruit. It wouldn't bring production back to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at the magnitude of the investment in Mexico, there's no way that's coming back to California,\" he says. \"There's absolutely no way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He'll keep growing in Mexico, in part because it would be hard for Americans to replace Mexican production with fresh berries from somewhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the situation on the other side of the trade equation, for U.S exports to Mexico, is considerably different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those exports also have grown dramatically, but a lot of them are commodities that Mexico could buy from other places, such as corn, soybeans and dairy products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mexico is the No. 1 buyer of U.S. dairy products in the world,\" says John Wilson, senior vice president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfamilk.com/\">Dairy Farmers of America\u003c/a>, a cooperative with 14,000 dairy farmer members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American dairy farmers have come to rely on exports in recent years. About 15 percent of all milk is processed into products for export. Wilson's cooperative, for instance, has a plant in Portales, N.M., that receives milk from big dairy farmers in the eastern part of that state and dries it into powder. \"About 38 million pounds of [milk] powder moved from the plant into Mexico last year,\" Wilson says. In total, the U.S. exports about $500 million worth of milk powder to Mexico annually. That's up more than 10 times from 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. also exports billions of dollars' worth of corn, soybeans and pork. And NAFTA is really important for most of those exports. It allows products to enter Mexico duty-free and makes American commodities just slightly cheaper than the competition, such as milk powder from New Zealand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Pennies do matter in the milk business,\" Wilson says. \"It's a very competitive business worldwide, and the presence or absence of a tariff can make or break a deal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson says he doesn't know exactly how much it would cost American dairy farmers if Mexico bought less of their milk powder. \"We don't even like to speculate about that,\" he says. But it certainly would hurt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Today, it's the biggest berry producer in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1990s, the Reiter family started growing strawberries and raspberries in Mexico, in addition to California. It found regions in Mexico where the climate allowed them to grow the fruit — especially raspberries — during seasons of the year when it hadn't been feasible back home. \"Our move really was for year-round product, and quality,\" says Reiter, who is executive chairman of \u003ca href=\"http://www.berry.net/\">Reiter Associated Cos\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect at that same time, in 1994. But that's coincidence, Reiter says; NAFTA had very little to do with the move into Mexico. \"To tell you the truth, we paid minimal attention to that,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They've all done it to expand their growing season, and also to cut costs. Farmworkers in Mexico get paid very little, compared with workers in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiter says that when he got to Mexico and met his Mexican partners, he discovered another reason to locate there. \"They're farmers. They want to be farmers. That \u003cem>is\u003c/em> their industry,\" he says. There's excitement about new fruit varieties, and new methods of growing crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 1992, raspberry exports from Mexico to the U.S. have gone from zero to $500 million each year. The increase in strawberry exports is similar. Total Mexican shipments of fruits and vegetables to the U.S. have increased by nine times over the last 25 years, to $12 billion a year. People in the industry say most of that increase is a result of U.S. companies setting up production in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump's criticism of trade with Mexico has unsettled the industry. He has talked about possibly taxing imports from Mexico or renegotiating NAFTA. Mexican officials have threatened to retaliate against American exports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Reiter says such moves would just force Americans to pay a little more for Mexican fruit. It wouldn't bring production back to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at the magnitude of the investment in Mexico, there's no way that's coming back to California,\" he says. \"There's absolutely no way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He'll keep growing in Mexico, in part because it would be hard for Americans to replace Mexican production with fresh berries from somewhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the situation on the other side of the trade equation, for U.S exports to Mexico, is considerably different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those exports also have grown dramatically, but a lot of them are commodities that Mexico could buy from other places, such as corn, soybeans and dairy products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mexico is the No. 1 buyer of U.S. dairy products in the world,\" says John Wilson, senior vice president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfamilk.com/\">Dairy Farmers of America\u003c/a>, a cooperative with 14,000 dairy farmer members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American dairy farmers have come to rely on exports in recent years. About 15 percent of all milk is processed into products for export. Wilson's cooperative, for instance, has a plant in Portales, N.M., that receives milk from big dairy farmers in the eastern part of that state and dries it into powder. \"About 38 million pounds of [milk] powder moved from the plant into Mexico last year,\" Wilson says. In total, the U.S. exports about $500 million worth of milk powder to Mexico annually. That's up more than 10 times from 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. also exports billions of dollars' worth of corn, soybeans and pork. And NAFTA is really important for most of those exports. It allows products to enter Mexico duty-free and makes American commodities just slightly cheaper than the competition, such as milk powder from New Zealand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Pennies do matter in the milk business,\" Wilson says. \"It's a very competitive business worldwide, and the presence or absence of a tariff can make or break a deal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson says he doesn't know exactly how much it would cost American dairy farmers if Mexico bought less of their milk powder. \"We don't even like to speculate about that,\" he says. But it certainly would hurt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

BROWN/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Puzder pulled out of the running when it was clear he may not have enough Republican votes to be confirmed. He is the first major Trump cabinet nominee to withdraw before a confirmation hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview earlier this week former \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/james_talent/300096\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republican Senator Jim Talent\u003c/a> of Missouri seemed confident of confirmation despite the mounting trouble. Talent was helping Puzder, a long-time friend, prepare for what was sure to be a bruising hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of the people opposing him now are in a year or two going to say; this guy is a lot better than we thought because he’s an honest and caring person and he’s going to enforce the law and do everything he can to create jobs and I think a lot of people in Washington are going to like that,” said Talent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder relocated to Southern California from St. Louis in the 1990s, hired by Carl’s Jr founder\u003ca href=\"http://www.ckr.com/about_history.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Carl Karcher\u003c/a> to help get the franchise back on solid financial footing. The conservative, anti-abortion Catholic was eventually named CEO. He’s credited with expanding its fleet of restaurants and overseeing a controversial ad campaign featuring half-naked girls chowing down on dripping Carl’s Jr burgers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder was also a frequent guest on cable news programs offering conservative analysis and opinion on various issues including opposition to a higher federal minimum wage and President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at home in the tony, celebrity studded community of Montecito along the Santa Barbara Coast, Puzder flew under the radar. Several local Republicans contacted for this story were either unaware that Puzder lived in their midst or rarely saw him around town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Puzder pulled up stakes and relocated his family to Tennessee. He also closed CKE corporate offices near Santa Barbara. Probably for the best, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Barbara Independent \u003c/a>newspaper columnist \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.com/staff/nick-welsh/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nick Welsh\u003c/a>. Puzder’s cultivated bubble of privacy was probably about to burst wide open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sort of cynical joke about Santa Barbara is; oh it’s Saturday, let’s go to the farmers market, let’s have brunch and then we’re going to go protest Trump,” laughs Welsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pudzer would have been a very good target for anti-trump demonstrations; people would have been in front of his house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder also clashed with many Republicans over his views on immigration. Earlier this month he acknowledged hiring an undocumented housekeeper to work at his Montecito home. Puzder says he fired the woman after discovering her immigration status, paid back taxes related to her employment and claims he also offered to assist her adjust her legal status. Puzder says she declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That and Puzder’s long-running support of immigration reform made him a target for immigration hardliners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we were able to hire people who are currently here illegally, if there were a way to change their status so that they are here illegally that would be a big benefit to us and to everybody else that has to hire workers in that category,” said Puzder during a talk a the conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington D.C. four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The aggressively business friendly, multi-millionaire tied the rising fortunes of low wage workers to the rising tide of business, which he saw as being hamstring by over burdensome regulations and union organizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder also plowed hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to various conservative causes and politicians. But he was initially reluctant to endorse candidate Donald Trump, until Mr. Trump had secured the Republican presidential nomination. He then backed that endorsement with campaign contributions topping $250,000.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He is the first major Trump cabinet nominee to withdraw before a confirmation hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview earlier this week former \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/james_talent/300096\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republican Senator Jim Talent\u003c/a> of Missouri seemed confident of confirmation despite the mounting trouble. Talent was helping Puzder, a long-time friend, prepare for what was sure to be a bruising hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of the people opposing him now are in a year or two going to say; this guy is a lot better than we thought because he’s an honest and caring person and he’s going to enforce the law and do everything he can to create jobs and I think a lot of people in Washington are going to like that,” said Talent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder relocated to Southern California from St. Louis in the 1990s, hired by Carl’s Jr founder\u003ca href=\"http://www.ckr.com/about_history.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Carl Karcher\u003c/a> to help get the franchise back on solid financial footing. The conservative, anti-abortion Catholic was eventually named CEO. He’s credited with expanding its fleet of restaurants and overseeing a controversial ad campaign featuring half-naked girls chowing down on dripping Carl’s Jr burgers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder was also a frequent guest on cable news programs offering conservative analysis and opinion on various issues including opposition to a higher federal minimum wage and President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at home in the tony, celebrity studded community of Montecito along the Santa Barbara Coast, Puzder flew under the radar. Several local Republicans contacted for this story were either unaware that Puzder lived in their midst or rarely saw him around town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Puzder pulled up stakes and relocated his family to Tennessee. He also closed CKE corporate offices near Santa Barbara. Probably for the best, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Barbara Independent \u003c/a>newspaper columnist \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.com/staff/nick-welsh/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nick Welsh\u003c/a>. Puzder’s cultivated bubble of privacy was probably about to burst wide open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sort of cynical joke about Santa Barbara is; oh it’s Saturday, let’s go to the farmers market, let’s have brunch and then we’re going to go protest Trump,” laughs Welsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pudzer would have been a very good target for anti-trump demonstrations; people would have been in front of his house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder also clashed with many Republicans over his views on immigration. Earlier this month he acknowledged hiring an undocumented housekeeper to work at his Montecito home. Puzder says he fired the woman after discovering her immigration status, paid back taxes related to her employment and claims he also offered to assist her adjust her legal status. Puzder says she declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That and Puzder’s long-running support of immigration reform made him a target for immigration hardliners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we were able to hire people who are currently here illegally, if there were a way to change their status so that they are here illegally that would be a big benefit to us and to everybody else that has to hire workers in that category,” said Puzder during a talk a the conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington D.C. four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The aggressively business friendly, multi-millionaire tied the rising fortunes of low wage workers to the rising tide of business, which he saw as being hamstring by over burdensome regulations and union organizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

NPR's Nina Totenberg reports that the 9th Circuit does not have the highest reversal rate, as Trump's use of the word \"record\" would suggest — it came in second last term and 10th in the 2014-15 term, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In sheer numbers, the Supreme Court reviews more cases from the 9\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> Circuit because it is the largest circuit,\" Nina says\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, because the reversal rate applies only to cases that make it before the Supreme Court, the statistic is \"not very helpful,\" says Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond and an expert on federal courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are so few cases that come to the Supreme Court every year,\" he says. Tobias offered an example of how the numbers can be misleading, using a smaller circuit court: \"If the 8th Circuit has one appeal in a particular year and it's reversed, they have a 100 percent reversal rate. ... It really doesn't tell you very much.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think most people who really look closely at the 9th Circuit find that reversal rate to not be very helpful,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.
