Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

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.",

He had planned to look for jobs as a farm worker once he arrived, to pay off his loan and support Marcela and the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nazario borrowed about 15,000 quetzales, the equivalent of $2,000. He put up as collateral the small, rocky plot of land where the family lives and grows potatoes. If he can't pay it back within two months, he said, he could lose the farm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now I need to work and work any way I can, because I have to pay that debt,\" he said.

That, in turn, has led to the rise of gangs, and local people contend with violence on a regular basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents often face a difficult choice to survive: head north in search of work in the U.S., or join gangs that kidnap and extort, said Dionisio Mateo Simón, a Roman Catholic priest in the municipality of San Pedro Soloma, who grew up in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the lack of opportunity for young people especially, the lack of a good job that allows them to make a living, people look for something else to do,\" said Simón, 50. \"Gang members rob houses in broad daylight here in Soloma, they rob stores and buses. We all have to deal with that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simón said many families in the area depend on remittances from relatives working in the U.S. But he's noticed more deportees are returning to the region since President Trump's term began, including parents who were separated from their children by U.S. authorities, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they get here they can't find work and their families face big uncertainties,\" said Simón.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nazario said he had been pushed to work for a local gang, and was threatened when he refused. That's why he made the decision to leave, he said, in hopes of finding safety and opportunity in the United States. He said it seemed like a good choice at the time to borrow money for the journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But because I failed to get there, for me now it's a sorrow to have to pay all that money back,\" said Nazario, who was deported June 20 to Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is considering moving his family away from their village to find a better paying job. Marcela, who had never traveled as far as Guatemala City before this week, said that whatever they do, the family will take their next steps together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The separation from my daughter was so long and very difficult,\" said Marcela, 25, who often carries her two-year old son Marvin in a \u003cem>rebozo\u003c/em> on her back. \"The most important thing now is for our family to stay together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Immigration Editor Tyche Hendricks contributed reporting.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He had planned to look for jobs as a farm worker once he arrived, to pay off his loan and support Marcela and the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nazario borrowed about 15,000 quetzales, the equivalent of $2,000. He put up as collateral the small, rocky plot of land where the family lives and grows potatoes. If he can't pay it back within two months, he said, he could lose the farm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now I need to work and work any way I can, because I have to pay that debt,\" he said. He added that before he tried to cross the border near the Mexican town of Tecate, the coyote demanded another chunk of money -- $1,500 dollars --which he borrowed from friends in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Economic opportunity is scarce in rural Huehuetenango where the family lives. That, in turn, has led to the rise of gangs, and local people contend with violence on a regular basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents often face a difficult choice to survive: head north in search of work in the U.S., or join gangs that kidnap and extort, said Dionisio Mateo Simón, a Roman Catholic priest in the municipality of San Pedro Soloma, who grew up in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the lack of opportunity for young people especially, the lack of a good job that allows them to make a living, people look for something else to do,\" said Simón, 50. \"Gang members rob houses in broad daylight here in Soloma, they rob stores and buses. We all have to deal with that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simón said many families in the area depend on remittances from relatives working in the U.S. But he's noticed more deportees are returning to the region since President Trump's term began, including parents who were separated from their children by U.S. authorities, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they get here they can't find work and their families face big uncertainties,\" said Simón.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nazario said he had been pushed to work for a local gang, and was threatened when he refused. That's why he made the decision to leave, he said, in hopes of finding safety and opportunity in the United States. He said it seemed like a good choice at the time to borrow money for the journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But because I failed to get there, for me now it's a sorrow to have to pay all that money back,\" said Nazario, who was deported June 20 to Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is considering moving his family away from their village to find a better paying job. Marcela, who had never traveled as far as Guatemala City before this week, said that whatever they do, the family will take their next steps together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The separation from my daughter was so long and very difficult,\" said Marcela, 25, who often carries her two-year old son Marvin in a \u003cem>rebozo\u003c/em> on her back. \"The most important thing now is for our family to stay together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We’re moving in that direction. But here in San Diego, and across the country, we’re still kind of working through the zero tolerance [policy]. Three months seems like a long time, but when you’re trying to kind of change the court system, if you will, and then start prosecuting crimes at a pretty high rate that you have not in the past, that’s a big machine to move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, we’re prosecuting significantly more here in San Diego than we were before, but we’re not close to 100 percent yet,” he says. The main thing that’s changed, says Scott, is the paperwork.

It doesn’t even matter if it’s a United States citizen. It’s illegal to cross the border in between the ports of entry. Then they get taken to a Border Patrol station, and the process is fairly similar for us at that point,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of the questioning process for an illegal alien is, ‘Do you have credible fear?’ If they claim to have credible fear, we’re done. We don’t make any determination about … is that fear valid? Is that fear not valid? You basically just check a box. And then the individual goes for a credible fear hearing with CIS (or the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, there’s no benefit for a Border Patrol agent to try to dissuade somebody from claiming credible fear. It doesn’t change his specific workload,” explains Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott remembers when he started working as a Border Patrol agent in the Imperial Beach sector in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This area was completely out of control. It was total chaos. I, as a young agent, was watching 10 people get away for every person I caught. We’d have 100 people on the ground, and another massive mob that you couldn’t even count would run by you, just out of arm’s reach. You don’t see that now. And it’s because the country made a decision to invest in border security, starting here in San Diego and El Paso, and we’ve systematically expanded it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in mid-March, Scott briefed President Trump when \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/03/13/trumps-visit-draws-supporters-protesters-and-security/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he visited the border to look at wall prototypes\u003c/a>. He says the president absolutely “has it right” when it comes to building new wall infrastructure along the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you install the border fence, it has about a 25-year life cycle. So that’s actually a pretty inexpensive investment for a long period of time, whereas technology has a life cycle of about 18 months. So building a wall is clearly one of the best investments for the American people to secure the border.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11685556\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Friendship-Park_woman-e1533742904977.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11685556\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Friendship-Park_woman-e1533742904977.jpg\" alt=\"A woman looks through the border fence from Friendship Park in Tijuana.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman looks through the border fence from Friendship Park in Tijuana. \u003ccite>(Ariana Dreshler/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The California Report\u003c/em> also attended mass in Calexico, a border town nearly two hours east of San Diego, on a recent Sunday.

It doesn’t even matter if it’s a United States citizen. It’s illegal to cross the border in between the ports of entry. Then they get taken to a Border Patrol station, and the process is fairly similar for us at that point,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of the questioning process for an illegal alien is, ‘Do you have credible fear?’ If they claim to have credible fear, we’re done. We don’t make any determination about … is that fear valid? Is that fear not valid? You basically just check a box. And then the individual goes for a credible fear hearing with CIS (or the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, there’s no benefit for a Border Patrol agent to try to dissuade somebody from claiming credible fear. It doesn’t change his specific workload,” explains Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott remembers when he started working as a Border Patrol agent in the Imperial Beach sector in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This area was completely out of control. It was total chaos. I, as a young agent, was watching 10 people get away for every person I caught. We’d have 100 people on the ground, and another massive mob that you couldn’t even count would run by you, just out of arm’s reach. You don’t see that now. And it’s because the country made a decision to invest in border security, starting here in San Diego and El Paso, and we’ve systematically expanded it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in mid-March, Scott briefed President Trump when \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/03/13/trumps-visit-draws-supporters-protesters-and-security/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he visited the border to look at wall prototypes\u003c/a>. He says the president absolutely “has it right” when it comes to building new wall infrastructure along the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you install the border fence, it has about a 25-year life cycle. So that’s actually a pretty inexpensive investment for a long period of time, whereas technology has a life cycle of about 18 months. So building a wall is clearly one of the best investments for the American people to secure the border.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11685556\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Friendship-Park_woman-e1533742904977.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11685556\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Friendship-Park_woman-e1533742904977.jpg\" alt=\"A woman looks through the border fence from Friendship Park in Tijuana.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman looks through the border fence from Friendship Park in Tijuana. \u003ccite>(Ariana Dreshler/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The California Report\u003c/em> also attended mass in Calexico, a border town nearly two hours east of San Diego, on a recent Sunday.

He told them the U.S. does not accept asylum claims anymore. After two lawyers identified themselves and demanded the officer begin the asylum process, he turned around and walked into a room in the border corridor. Shortly after, a private security guard came out and demanded everyone leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this exchange, the KQED reporter walked over to the station headquarters and asked to speak with a supervisor. The Border Patrol agent at the desk refused and said, “It’s weird you care about asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you applying for asylum?” he continued. “Because we don’t process those anymore. And I’m not answering any of your questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has since asked for comments from Customs and Border Protection multiple times.

But according to Bardis Vakili of the San Diego ACLU, these “turnarounds” have taken on a “sharper edge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartlessness and cruelty compounded by ineptitude,” said Vakili. “This is a suffering population who we need to process in some fair way. These are people who are desperate for protection and to protect their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Napolitano, former Department of Homeland Security chief (and the former governor of a border state), said that even if immigration judges ultimately deny the asylum claims, all people who present themselves at a U.S. port of entry are entitled by federal law to be put on the list for a “credible fear interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that Border Patrol agent said [about not accepting asylum cases] is absolutely wrong,” said Napolitano, who is now president of the University of California. “It’s not the law.

He told them the U.S. does not accept asylum claims anymore. After two lawyers identified themselves and demanded the officer begin the asylum process, he turned around and walked into a room in the border corridor. Shortly after, a private security guard came out and demanded everyone leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this exchange, the KQED reporter walked over to the station headquarters and asked to speak with a supervisor. The Border Patrol agent at the desk refused and said, “It’s weird you care about asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you applying for asylum?” he continued. “Because we don’t process those anymore. And I’m not answering any of your questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has since asked for comments from Customs and Border Protection multiple times.

But according to Bardis Vakili of the San Diego ACLU, these “turnarounds” have taken on a “sharper edge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartlessness and cruelty compounded by ineptitude,” said Vakili. “This is a suffering population who we need to process in some fair way. These are people who are desperate for protection and to protect their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Napolitano, former Department of Homeland Security chief (and the former governor of a border state), said that even if immigration judges ultimately deny the asylum claims, all people who present themselves at a U.S. port of entry are entitled by federal law to be put on the list for a “credible fear interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that Border Patrol agent said [about not accepting asylum cases] is absolutely wrong,” said Napolitano, who is now president of the University of California. “It’s not the law.

Leading the so-called resistance, it is these women who organized and turned out protesters in large numbers across the country. They also have flocked to the Indivisible movement, a progressive grass-roots movement opposed to Trump policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did not care about politics until Trump was elected,” said San Diego Indivisible organizer Wendy Batterson. “I work in a grocery store and wasn’t worried about politics.

Along with friend and fellow Indivisible organizer Gretchen Gordon, the women were two of the first people to organize protests against Trump’s zero tolerance immigration policy.

Dehydrated, malnourished, skin rashes, horrible coughs, and just dirt — they’re dirty from traveling however many miles to get here. No money, and no help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think those pictures of those kids did a lot to get people energized,” Batterson added. “Then all of a sudden they could see children, as opposed to just talking about whatever dumb thing Trump was doing.

Other people said, ‘Oh, that’s just rhetoric, Trump couldn’t mean it.’ But now, people are paying attention. They see kids in cages. They see parents crying, kids crying. Thank God, family separation isn’t a line they want to cross.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anecdotally, it appears Batterson is noticing an emerging trend: Several women told KQED they are concerned about the president’s behavior and policies, but have not been vocal in their opposition because they don’t want to alienate more conservative friends and family members. But that changed for many women when they started seeing stories on social media about separated children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no way I could wear a pink pussy hat around my neighborhood,” said Patricia Baldwin. “I live in an area that is predominately white, Republican and conservative. But I can’t just stand by now, with families being torn apart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other protesters told KQED that the family separation policy is also disturbing to their conservative friends and family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have friends in Texas who are very conservative,” Jill Rappaport said. “But they are very loving, caring people.

It’s deeply unpopular with women across party lines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Quinnipiac poll showed that 58 percent of Americans oppose the family separation policy. When describing the policy, most Americans used the words “sad, terrible, bad and wrong” when discussing the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are throw your hands up in the air kind of words,” Malloy explained. “And it’s the reason immigration is the number one issue on the minds of Americans. This family separation policy is clearly the talk of the dinner table and the water cooler.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Quinnipiac poll also showed women overwhelmingly plan to vote for Democratic candidates in the upcoming midterms, while only a third of women planned to vote for Republicans. This reverses several weeks of gains for the GOP, buoyed by a strong economy and Trump’s summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While criticism of Trump persisted during that time, his numbers in Quinnipiac and other polls improved.
