"description": "Honduran father Juan and his six-year-old son Anthony walk on their way to attend Sunday Mass on September 9, 2018 in Oakland, California. They fled their country, leaving many family members behind, and crossed the U.S. border in April at a lawful port of entry in Brownsville, Texas seeking asylum. They were soon separated and spent the next 85 days apart in detention. Juan was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, while his son was sent to a detention shelter New York. They were one of almost 2,600 families separated due to the Trump administration's \"zero tolerance\" immigration policy. Juan said it took six weeks from the time of separation until he was able to make a phone call to his son. They were finally reunited in July 2018.",

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.",

Meeting privately with House leaders Monday evening, she signaled that it was time to move.[aside postID=\"news_11892232\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/RS51923_AM6_0329-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House had already approved the\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-technology-business-broadband-internet-ad2c86ce1bc6e85322f2629d7a72732e\"> related $1 trillion infrastructure package\u003c/a>, a roads-bridges-and-broadband measure favored by centrist lawmakers after poor election showings in Virginia and New Jersey served as a wake-up call to Democrats. Now, according to Pelosi’s strategy, it was time to make good on the commitment for Biden’s broader vision preferred by the progressives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All members of Congress representing the Bay Area voted in support of the Build Back Better Act, with East Bay Congresswoman Barbara Lee praising the bill's cap on child care costs at 7% of income for most families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In my district and throughout the Bay Area, women want to get back into the workforce but child care is so expensive,\" Lee told KQED. The bill's hundreds of billions in dollars for the environment will also invest in the community, Lee said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're gonna reduce energy costs, and let me tell you, we're going to make good-paying jobs in the energy sector for young people, for formerly incarcerated people, putting solar panels on buildings and houses,\" Lee added. \"For the first time, we're going to be addressing for the first time, environmental justice, and making sure communities of color, low-income communities are cleaned up and don't have to deal with toxic dump sites.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi's successful balancing act is one that will touch many, her colleagues said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a long road because, you know, the sheer amount of impact we’re trying to have is enormous,” Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s always complicated, I mean, when you’ve got people representing every corner of this country, there’s always going to be complexity, but that’s the art of governing,” Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has been here before.

Jackie Speier, who represents parts of San Francisco and San Mateo counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve lost almost 90% of the wetlands in the San Francisco Bay Estuary over the last 100 years. This is going to be an effort to help us restore much of those wetlands and allow us to continue to enjoy the Bay,” Speier told KQED on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House passed the measure 228-206 late Friday night, largely along party lines, prompting prolonged cheers from the relieved Democratic side of the chamber. Just 13 mostly moderate Republicans supported the legislation. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-vote-massive-infrastructure-package-centerpiece-biden-agenda-n1276134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate had approved a version of the bill\u003c/a> in August, but it then was held up for months as House progressives clashed with Democratic centrists over funding priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The package is financed through a combination of funds, including repurposing unspent emergency relief money from the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthening tax enforcement for cryptocurrencies. While negotiators said that the cost of the plan would be offset entirely, the Congressional Budget Office predicted \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/politics/bipartisan-infrastructure-plan-senate-cbo-score/index.html\">it would add about $256 billion to projected deficits over 10 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"infrastructure\"]The infrastructure package, which Biden called a “blue-collar blueprint to rebuilding America,” is a historic investment by any measure, the breadth of which he compared to the building of the interstate highway system over the last century, or the transcontinental railroad the century before that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet despite the win, Democrats were dealt a major setback when they were forced to postpone a vote on a second, even larger bill until later this month. That 10-year, $1.85 trillion measure, bolstering health, family and climate change programs — which Biden refers to as “human infrastructure” — was sidetracked after Democratic moderates demanded a cost estimate on the measure from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The postponement dashed hopes that the day would produce a double-barreled win for Biden with passage of both bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notwithstanding those setbacks, California officials are still hailing the historic investment in local transit and highways.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Modernizing California’s infrastructure\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/11/06/governor-newsom-statement-on-passage-of-1-2-trillion-infrastructure-investment-and-jobs-act-by-congress/\">Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statement Saturday lauding the House’s passage of the bill\u003c/a>, saying it will help create quality jobs for Californians and support the modernization of state infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The infrastructure package passed by Congress builds on California’s unprecedented investments to maintain and modernize the state,” he said. “This historic infrastructure package stands to accelerate investments in our clean transportation infrastructure, help mitigate some of the worst impacts of climate change and accelerate new projects that will create thousands of jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission Chair Alfredo Pedroza, who is also a Napa County supervisor, said the infrastructure package will help fund long-term regional plans to revamp transportation and housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only will the big increase in transit capital funding help modernize our existing transit network to serve a new generation of customers but expansion of the discretionary grant programs will allow the Bay Area to compete for money that can move big new projects from the plan to reality,” he said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the governor’s office, California expects to receive:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Federal-aid highway apportioned programs: $25.3 billion, with $4.2 billion for bridge replacement and repairs.\u003c/strong> California has 1,536 bridges and more than 14,000 miles of highway in poor condition, according to the governor’s office. California commute times have increased by 14.6% in the state, with drivers paying nearly $800 a month due to driving on roads needing repair. The governor’s office said this investment will be the “single-largest dedicated bridge investment” in California since the construction of the interstate highway system. Exactly which bridges would net that funding is still an open question: The MTC said they would “compete for funds” in the multibillion-dollar set-aside.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Improved public transportation: $9.45 billion.\u003c/strong> That may aid many people of color across the state: Non-white households are 1.6 times more likely to commute via public transit in California, according to the governor’s office. And in California, 16% of transit vehicles are past their useful lives, but still in use.

Jackie Speier, who represents parts of San Francisco and San Mateo counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve lost almost 90% of the wetlands in the San Francisco Bay Estuary over the last 100 years. This is going to be an effort to help us restore much of those wetlands and allow us to continue to enjoy the Bay,” Speier told KQED on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House passed the measure 228-206 late Friday night, largely along party lines, prompting prolonged cheers from the relieved Democratic side of the chamber. Just 13 mostly moderate Republicans supported the legislation. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-vote-massive-infrastructure-package-centerpiece-biden-agenda-n1276134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate had approved a version of the bill\u003c/a> in August, but it then was held up for months as House progressives clashed with Democratic centrists over funding priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The package is financed through a combination of funds, including repurposing unspent emergency relief money from the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthening tax enforcement for cryptocurrencies. While negotiators said that the cost of the plan would be offset entirely, the Congressional Budget Office predicted \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/politics/bipartisan-infrastructure-plan-senate-cbo-score/index.html\">it would add about $256 billion to projected deficits over 10 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That 10-year, $1.85 trillion measure, bolstering health, family and climate change programs — which Biden refers to as “human infrastructure” — was sidetracked after Democratic moderates demanded a cost estimate on the measure from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The postponement dashed hopes that the day would produce a double-barreled win for Biden with passage of both bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notwithstanding those setbacks, California officials are still hailing the historic investment in local transit and highways.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Modernizing California’s infrastructure\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/11/06/governor-newsom-statement-on-passage-of-1-2-trillion-infrastructure-investment-and-jobs-act-by-congress/\">Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statement Saturday lauding the House’s passage of the bill\u003c/a>, saying it will help create quality jobs for Californians and support the modernization of state infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The infrastructure package passed by Congress builds on California’s unprecedented investments to maintain and modernize the state,” he said. “This historic infrastructure package stands to accelerate investments in our clean transportation infrastructure, help mitigate some of the worst impacts of climate change and accelerate new projects that will create thousands of jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission Chair Alfredo Pedroza, who is also a Napa County supervisor, said the infrastructure package will help fund long-term regional plans to revamp transportation and housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only will the big increase in transit capital funding help modernize our existing transit network to serve a new generation of customers but expansion of the discretionary grant programs will allow the Bay Area to compete for money that can move big new projects from the plan to reality,” he said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the governor’s office, California expects to receive:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Federal-aid highway apportioned programs: $25.3 billion, with $4.2 billion for bridge replacement and repairs.\u003c/strong> California has 1,536 bridges and more than 14,000 miles of highway in poor condition, according to the governor’s office. California commute times have increased by 14.6% in the state, with drivers paying nearly $800 a month due to driving on roads needing repair. The governor’s office said this investment will be the “single-largest dedicated bridge investment” in California since the construction of the interstate highway system. Exactly which bridges would net that funding is still an open question: The MTC said they would “compete for funds” in the multibillion-dollar set-aside.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Improved public transportation: $9.45 billion.\u003c/strong> That may aid many people of color across the state: Non-white households are 1.6 times more likely to commute via public transit in California, according to the governor’s office. And in California, 16% of transit vehicles are past their useful lives, but still in use.

When asking people to self-identify, OMB currently requires a question about Hispanic or Latino identity, which OMB considers an ethnicity and not a race, to be asked before a question about a person's racial identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During former President Donald Trump's administration, OMB \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/26/580865378/census-request-suggests-no-race-ethnicity-data-changes-in-2020-experts-say\">made no public decision on proposed changes to its standards\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the end of the day, the No. 1 faction that was against the combined question was the Trump administration,\" Mora says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked by NPR how concerned the bureau is now that \"Some other race\" is the country's second-largest racial category, Nicholas Jones, the bureau's director and senior adviser of race and ethnic research and outreach, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us6Qzzps5l4&t=4934s\">said they're \"not surprised by the findings.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the Census Bureau tested an alternative question design in 2015, we must ultimately follow the 1997 OMB standards and use two separate questions to collect data on race and on ethnicity,\" Jones \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/us6Qzzps5l4?t=3757\">pointed out during a press conference in August\u003c/a>. \"Our testing, however, did show that we could make improvements to the 2020 census race and ethnicity questions within the OMB guidelines.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Biden administration's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/07/19/1017629384/biden-is-reviving-an-effort-to-change-how-the-census-asks-about-race-and-ethnici\">OMB has told NPR\u003c/a> it's still reviewing those proposed changes to the government's standards and whether they help gather \"the data necessary to inform our ambitious equity agenda.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>There could be changes in time for the 2030 census\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As the bureau ramps up its planning for the 2030 census, some researchers are calling for the federal government to consider adding a different kind of race question, including Nancy López, a sociologist at the University of New Mexico whose research has focused on people's \"street race,\" or what they think strangers assume their race to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not every Latino is a brown-skinned Latino. There are white Latinos, there are Black Latinos like myself, and there are Latinos who are also street-race Asian,\" says López, who adds she's concerned about the limitations of data about how people self-identify. \"What would be the civil rights use of that data when we recognize that most people are being racialized by others when they seek housing or vote or seek employment?\"\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The second oldest is prioritizing work while studying. And their younger brother, a senior in high school, caught the eye of Harvard recruiters but instead is considering vocational school closer to home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s like this space where he used to be, but he’s not there anymore,” said Nathan Gutiérrez Ramírez, 19. “And like, every time you come home, you’re just like, ‘Oh, I feel like something’s missing.’ You always feel that someone’s missing, that he’s missing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888939\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11888939 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/ruiz_family_crop-1024x768-1.jpg\" alt=\"A family of six, with the parents sitting on the couch and four children standing behind, most smiling at the camera.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/ruiz_family_crop-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/ruiz_family_crop-1024x768-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/ruiz_family_crop-1024x768-1-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/ruiz_family_crop-1024x768-1-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Armanda Ruiz (front left) with her husband, José Luis Ruiz Arévalos, and children Elena Gutiérrez Ramírez, Priscila Ruiz Ramírez, Ignacio Gutiérrez Ramírez, and Nathan Gutiérrez Ramírez. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Armanda Ruiz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In May 2019, Ruiz Arévalos — also known as José, Dad or Papa, depending on whom you ask — went to Mexico for what he thought would be the final step to apply for his green card: an interview at the U.S. Consulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his family — the rest of whom all are U.S. citizens — expected he would be able to come back in a week or two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he was unexpectedly refused a green card when U.S. Consulate officials decided that under Trump administration guidance he was likely to become a “public charge,” dependent on government services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unable to return to the U.S., he remains in Hermosillo, Sonora, a thousand miles from his family, while he tries to appeal the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Donald Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/immigration-donald-trump-ap-top-news-politics-business-f440cbe61eb642c99f4d9a47e437c526\">changes to the “public charge” immigration policy made headlines\u003c/a> the year of Ruiz Arévalos’s green card interview in 2019. What was less publicized is that in January 2018, the Trump administration had already made changes to the public charge policy at consulates outside the country.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nThe changes gave consulate officers more discretion to scrutinize applicants’ age, education, job skills, and health insurance and whether they or their family members received any type of public benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between Oct. 1, 2018, and Sept. 30, 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-statistics/annual-reports/report-of-the-visa-office-2019.html\">consulate officials refused almost 21,000 people applying for immigrant visas\u003c/a> based on the revised public charge policy. That was seven times as many people as had been refused under the same policy two years before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes that were made have now been reversed under President Joe Biden. But the effects still remain, not only for immigrants, but also for their spouses and children. When Ruiz Arévalos couldn’t return home, it triggered economic hardship and emotional grief for his wife and children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also disrupted the education of his oldest stepchild, Elena Gutiérrez Ramírez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elena, 21, dropped out of the University of California, Merced so she could work to support the family. The decision was gut-wrenching and scary. Elena thought she might never return to college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz Arévalos had been helping her pay for her college expenses not covered by financial aid with his income as a handyperson. Without his help, not only could she not afford to stay in school, but she also needed to help the rest of her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888944\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 767px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11888944 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Ruiz1-768x562-1.jpg\" alt=\"A man in a white T-shirt and jeans holds hands with an 11-year-old girl, amid pink and white balloons and decorations.\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Ruiz1-768x562-1.jpg 767w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Ruiz1-768x562-1-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">José Luis Ruiz Arévalos dances with daughter Priscila Ruiz Ramírez, at her birthday party in Mexico. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Armanda Ruiz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Her mother, Armanda Ruiz, has a full-time job taking care of her little sister, Priscila Ruiz Ramírez, 11, who was born prematurely and has had four surgeries and multiple health issues her entire life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Priscila has developmental delays and is under continuous medical care with speech, occupational and physical therapy. Her other two siblings, Ignacio and Nathan, were still in high school at the time Ruiz Arévalos was told he could not return from Mexico. Nathan had been struggling with severe depression.

Nathan, 19, got A’s and B’s at Merced College last year. Ignacio, 17, just finished his junior year at Los Baños High School with a 4.6 grade point average — all A’s, including four in Advanced Placement classes. He recently received a letter from Harvard, encouraging him to apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now I just want to provide for my family and keep ourselves from sinking into debt,” Elena said. “With my dad out of the country and with no family but ourselves, I don’t want the lack of money to be the reason why my siblings don’t go where they want to go and get their degree in what they want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Elena applied for dozens of jobs. She worked at a tomato-packing plant, at Big 5 Sporting Goods as a cashier, and with the U.S. Census Bureau for the 2020 census.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Elena Gutiérrez Ramírez\"]‘Right now I just want to provide for my family and keep ourselves from sinking into debt … I don’t want the lack of money to be the reason why my siblings don’t go where they want to go.’[/pullquote]Then the coronavirus pandemic hit California, and work became even harder to find. Determined to continue toward a college degree, she began taking classes at Merced College. As the months dragged on and the family continued to struggle financially, she became increasingly worried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mexico, Ruiz Arévalos felt that his world had broken into a million pieces. He has been part of this blended family for 12 years. When he first met his wife, Armanda Ramírez, her name before she married him, her daughter Elena was 8. Nathan was 6, and Ignacio was 5. The children have their father’s last name and their mother’s maiden name: Gutiérrez Ramírez. Later the couple had Priscila together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he talks about his children, his voice becomes soft with love as he recalls each of their personalities. Little Priscila is his treasure, his spoiled baby. Elena is loving and noble, he said, a “super daughter.” Nathan is both tough and affectionate. Ignacio, he said, could do anything he wants — studying comes easily to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And the worst thing is that my kids really put their heart into their studies,” he said in Spanish. “I feel like I am clipping their wings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888946\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 968px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11888946 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Ruiz-1024x645-1.jpg\" alt=\"A family stands in a line for a picture amid pink and white birthday decorations.

Since 1996, immigration law makes it difficult for anyone who crossed the border illegally and stayed in the U.S. for more than a year to get a green card, even if they are married to a U.S. citizen. They have to leave the country to apply, and if they lived here without immigration papers, they are banned from reentering the country for 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11858316\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/gettyimages-1230936271-66a4f28f0f4c76f8936d96115f8be7f11c103ec7-1020x765.jpg\"]There is one way around the 10-year ban: You can apply for a waiver if you can prove that being forced to stay outside the U.S. would cause “extreme hardship” for a U.S. citizen spouse or parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before going to his interview appointment in Ciudad Juárez, Ruiz Arévalos applied for a waiver, arguing that his absence would cause severe hardship for his wife. In the documents they submitted, they detailed how hard it would be for her to be left alone to care for their four children, including Priscila, with her medical issues and developmental delays, and Nathan, with severe depression and panic attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved the waiver. The couple believed they had all their paperwork in order. They secured a fiscal sponsor — a family friend who agreed to support Ruiz Arévalos and his family. The sponsor made far more than the minimum income required by federal regulations, which is 125% of the federal poverty level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Ruiz Arévalos showed up for his appointment, the consulate official questioned whether his fiscal sponsor would actually support the family if needed and asked Ruiz Arévalos whether his family had used welfare. Priscila has received Supplemental Security Income — provided to disabled people in lower-income families — since she was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other children in the family had received food stamps. The consulate told him he would need an additional fiscal sponsor to prove he wouldn’t become dependent on the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But instead of waiting for him to turn in the new paperwork, the consulate told him he was inadmissible to the U.S. because he was likely to become a public charge, and canceled his waiver of the 10-year ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. State Department declined to say how many other applicants for green cards had their waivers revoked because of the new public charge policy that was in place from 2018 to 2020. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said the data was not available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Erin Quinn, Immigrant Legal Resource Center\"]‘They can overcome the public charge issue … but the damage was already done, because the real harm for families like this one is those years of separation that can’t be undone.’[/pullquote]Erin Quinn, senior staff attorney at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ilrc.org/\">Immigrant Legal Resource Center\u003c/a>, said likely thousands of the people denied entry under “public charge” in 2018 and 2019 had previously lived in the U.S. and had waivers to show that being separated from their families would cause extreme hardship, like Ruiz Arévalos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After that guidance came out, officers had clearly gotten marching orders to go on this fishing expedition, as a way to begin denying cases that were otherwise clearly eligible for their permanent resident status,” Quinn said. “They can overcome the public charge issue by turning in the information requested, but the damage was already done, because the real harm for families like this one is those years of separation that can’t be undone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz Arévalos submitted the names of three different fiscal sponsors to the consulate. But the process slowed almost to a halt because of the pandemic. While he waited, he tried his best to stay connected to his family across the border. They do regular video calls so the kids can talk with their dad. Ignacio even calls Ruiz Arévalos for help when he has to fix something at home — how to change the oil in the car, how to unclog the toilet, how to fix the fence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888941\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 534px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11888941 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Elena-642x800-1.jpg\" alt='A woman in a dress embraces a high school graduate in a yellow cap and gown with a red \"2020\" sash.' width=\"534\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Elena-642x800-1.jpg 534w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Elena-642x800-1-160x239.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nathan Gutiérrez Ramírez, right, at high school graduation with mom Armanda Ruiz. José Luis Ruiz Arévalos had to miss Nathan’s graduation. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Armanda Ruiz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few months before Ruiz Arévalos went to Mexico, the Gutiérrez Ramírez kids’ biological father died. They didn’t have much contact with him the last few years he was alive, but when they found out he died, it was painful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a dad, and I didn’t get along very well with him. We had problems. Then I get another dad, and they take him away,” Nathan told Ruiz Arévalos recently. “It’s not fair. I want my dad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hit us all very hard that he wasn’t able to come back,” Ruiz said. She said Priscila especially didn’t understand why her dad was in Mexico. “Why is my dad over there?” Ruiz said she would ask. “Why doesn’t he come here? Why doesn’t he sleep here with us?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz Arévalos wasn’t there to see Nathan’s graduation from high school, or Priscila’s ceremony for “reclassification” to show she is no longer considered an English-language learner at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s missed two years of birthdays and movie watching and countless dance sessions in the family living room. He wasn’t there to see them all stuff eggshells with confetti for Easter, or to watch how they made distance learning work, with all five of them learning from home — Elena and Nathan in college classes, Ignacio in high school, Priscila in special education, and their mother taking an English class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes it feels different not having a father figure,” Ignacio said. “’Cause you know, there’s a different kind of relationship with your dad than your mother, I’d say, if you’re a guy, ’cause like, you know, guys just understand each other. Like you don’t even have to say something, you already know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months ago, Elena met with a college counselor and decided to join the Army Reserve. She went to basic training in July and will be there until November, so she won’t be able to attend college classes in the fall. She’s hoping she can return to college in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During this time of uncertainty, at least the Army will bring some form of certainty,” Elena said. “In addition, if something were to happen to my mom, I will be the one taking care of my siblings, and without a stable job, I can’t guarantee that. That’s why the Army sounds like a good deal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There may finally be some hope in Ruiz Arévalos’s case. In July 2020, a U.S. District Court in New York issued a temporary injunction requiring consulates to stop using the new guidance on public charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='immigration']And most recently in August, the Department of Homeland Security began the process to ask the public how the public charge rule should be changed in the future, specifically mentioning it does not want the rule to “unduly impose barriers” on people seeking adjustment of status, like Ruiz Arévalos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, Ruiz Arévalos received another letter in the mail from the consulate in Ciudad Juárez, the first in months. For the first time, there was no mention of “public charge.” The letter said he could now apply again for a waiver. The process could take months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, Ruiz and the kids went to visit Ruiz Arévalos in Mexico, the last family trip before Elena headed to basic training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They went to the beach — a first for some of the children — and waded into the ocean, playing in the waves. From the sand, Ruiz watched and took a video with her phone — her husband, with her children, walking toward the horizon. They jumped over wave after wave coming at them. For the moment, they were all together.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They didn’t have much contact with him the last few years he was alive, but when they found out he died, it was painful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a dad, and I didn’t get along very well with him. We had problems. Then I get another dad, and they take him away,” Nathan told Ruiz Arévalos recently. “It’s not fair. I want my dad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hit us all very hard that he wasn’t able to come back,” Ruiz said. She said Priscila especially didn’t understand why her dad was in Mexico. “Why is my dad over there?” Ruiz said she would ask. “Why doesn’t he come here? Why doesn’t he sleep here with us?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz Arévalos wasn’t there to see Nathan’s graduation from high school, or Priscila’s ceremony for “reclassification” to show she is no longer considered an English-language learner at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s missed two years of birthdays and movie watching and countless dance sessions in the family living room. He wasn’t there to see them all stuff eggshells with confetti for Easter, or to watch how they made distance learning work, with all five of them learning from home — Elena and Nathan in college classes, Ignacio in high school, Priscila in special education, and their mother taking an English class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes it feels different not having a father figure,” Ignacio said. “’Cause you know, there’s a different kind of relationship with your dad than your mother, I’d say, if you’re a guy, ’cause like, you know, guys just understand each other. Like you don’t even have to say something, you already know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months ago, Elena met with a college counselor and decided to join the Army Reserve. She went to basic training in July and will be there until November, so she won’t be able to attend college classes in the fall. She’s hoping she can return to college in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During this time of uncertainty, at least the Army will bring some form of certainty,” Elena said. “In addition, if something were to happen to my mom, I will be the one taking care of my siblings, and without a stable job, I can’t guarantee that. That’s why the Army sounds like a good deal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There may finally be some hope in Ruiz Arévalos’s case. In July 2020, a U.S. District Court in New York issued a temporary injunction requiring consulates to stop using the new guidance on public charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
