Some will be deported before ever stepping foot in the U.S. Others will be detained by U.S. immigration authorities as they wait for their hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some will be allowed to live in the U.S. while their cases wind through the system. Legal experts say if they stay in California, they'll be lucky. The state has a cadre of pro bono attorneys eager to help them navigate the complicated asylum process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, California lawmakers approved a state budget that included $45 million in funding for immigrant legal services. With that increased funding, the state's Department of Social Services has contracted dozens of nonprofits to offer legal help to \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Immigration/ISF%20Fact%20Sheet%20May%202018.pdf?ver=2018-05-11-135436-710\">thousands of immigrants\u003c/a> every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state money is spread to organizations throughout California. But \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Immigration/FY%202017-18%20Immigration%20Services%20Funding%20Award%20Announcement.pdf?ver=2017-10-31-092359-893\">regional breakdowns\u003c/a> show that nonprofits in Los Angeles and the Bay Area have received the largest chunks of money. These areas may be expensive for migrants, but the data show that having access to legal aid makes a huge difference in asylum cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still California's high cost of living continues to push families out of the very places offering the most help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of our immigrant community are finding themselves having to move outside of Los Angeles so that they can afford to live,\" said \u003ca href=\"https://www.esperanza-la.org/patricia-ortiz\">Patricia Ortiz\u003c/a>, a lawyer with the Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But once they're there, there is not quite the same amount of resources or support that they would have here,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710236/bay-area-asylum-seeker-anxious-as-grandmother-escorts-teen-son-to-border\">Bay Area Asylum-Seeker Anxious as Her Teen Son Is Escorted to Border by His Grandmother\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710236/bay-area-asylum-seeker-anxious-as-grandmother-escorts-teen-son-to-border\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34304_alt_806-1-1180x885.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rosa\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Ortiz's clients, Rosa, has been in Los Angeles for about two months. She fled gang violence in El Salvador with her two children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Rosa arrived, she pictured Los Angeles as a place full of luxury and natural beauty. Some areas of the city are like that, Rosa said. But her corner of Los Angeles looks and feels like the place she escaped from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I sometimes feel as if I were in the capital of El Salvador,\" said Rosa, who requested that her last name be withheld because her asylum case is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was surprised by how much housing costs here. During their first month in Los Angeles, Rosa and her family lived in cramped quarters with another family sleeping right next to the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We chose to move because we could not access the bathroom,\" she said. \"We did not feel comfortable entering it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Rosa has found a studio apartment near downtown LA that rents for $800 per month. But even coming up with that amount will be a struggle. Asylum-seekers are not eligible for a work permit until at least six months into their cases. Many work under the table to get by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these hurdles, Rosa said California provides what she didn't have in El Salvador: Safety, and the chance of a better life for her kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is opportunity here,\" she said. \"Here, you can realize any dream you want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz said even though it is an expensive place to live, asylum-seekers in Los Angeles have access to people who want to help. For instance, she said, \"Getting our clients connected to mental health resources outside of the LA region is very difficult. It's something that we are always struggling with.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/683328305/683501501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/biography/jenna-gilbert\">Jenna Gilbert\u003c/a>, a pro bono asylum attorney at Human Rights First, said it's heartbreaking to get calls from clients who plan to leave California months into their case, because they can't afford to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tells them they're not just losing their lawyer. They're leaving behind California's Ninth Circuit for courts that may be more likely to deny asylum claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you move to a small town in Texas, housing is going to be much cheaper,\" Gilbert said. \"But you probably won't have the legal resources.

But she said gangs threatened her for refusing to pay a \"war tax,\" a local form of extortion. She fled with her husband and two of her children, now aged 6 and 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've been living in Los Angeles for more than two years, and they're still awaiting a decision in their asylum case. By now, they've settled into a routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At six o'clock, we get up and get ready,\" Lizeth said. They need to be out the door by 7:20 a.m., so Lizeth can get to work by 8:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Lizeth a year and a half to get her work permit. Her husband just received his. Like other asylum-seekers, they started off renting rooms in houses crammed with other occupants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, they can afford the $1,000 rent for their own studio apartment in the San Fernando Valley. It doesn't offer much privacy, Lizeth said. A simple room divider separates the living room from the bedroom. But their home is decked out with festive Christmas decorations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's 1,000 percent better,\" than anything she expected to have, Lizeth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years may sound like a long time to wait for an asylum decision. But Lizeth's attorney Jenna Gilbert said these days \"two years is on the shorter end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As years go by, Gilbert worries that judges may start to think her clients no longer have a credible fear of gang members in their home country. She says a claim that may have been strong a few years ago, \"maybe today isn't so strong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things are changing so rapidly, there's really no way to provide your clients with any kind of comfort, any kind of understanding of what the road ahead might look like,\" Gilbert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream.'\u003ccite>Lizeth, immigrant from Honduras living in L.A.\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At this point, Gilbert is hoping that a decision in Lizeth's case is delayed until 2020 or later, when there could be a new president in the White House with more favorable asylum policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now that we're kind of at the halfway point, I'm hoping that cases slow down as much as possible until we can see the end of this administration,\" Gilbert said. \"Hopefully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Lizeth and her family grow more comfortable in California every day. They've put a down payment on a car. Their kids are picking up English in school. Lizeth worries what would happen if they were deported back to Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They think those of us coming from the United States are carrying a lot of money,\" she said. \"There are many cases of people who went back to Honduras and didn't live more than a month.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, Lizeth said, the future is bright. In Honduras, holidays were hard. She could afford to give her kids gifts or a nice meal, but never both. This year, in the U.S., she was able to make a big Christmas dinner and give her children new clothes and shoes. A nice Christmas, she said, like she hadn't had in a long time.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Some will be deported before ever stepping foot in the U.S. Others will be detained by U.S. immigration authorities as they wait for their hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some will be allowed to live in the U.S. while their cases wind through the system. Legal experts say if they stay in California, they'll be lucky. The state has a cadre of pro bono attorneys eager to help them navigate the complicated asylum process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, California lawmakers approved a state budget that included $45 million in funding for immigrant legal services. With that increased funding, the state's Department of Social Services has contracted dozens of nonprofits to offer legal help to \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Immigration/ISF%20Fact%20Sheet%20May%202018.pdf?ver=2018-05-11-135436-710\">thousands of immigrants\u003c/a> every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state money is spread to organizations throughout California. But \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Immigration/FY%202017-18%20Immigration%20Services%20Funding%20Award%20Announcement.pdf?ver=2017-10-31-092359-893\">regional breakdowns\u003c/a> show that nonprofits in Los Angeles and the Bay Area have received the largest chunks of money. These areas may be expensive for migrants, but the data show that having access to legal aid makes a huge difference in asylum cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still California's high cost of living continues to push families out of the very places offering the most help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of our immigrant community are finding themselves having to move outside of Los Angeles so that they can afford to live,\" said \u003ca href=\"https://www.esperanza-la.org/patricia-ortiz\">Patricia Ortiz\u003c/a>, a lawyer with the Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But once they're there, there is not quite the same amount of resources or support that they would have here,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710236/bay-area-asylum-seeker-anxious-as-grandmother-escorts-teen-son-to-border\">Bay Area Asylum-Seeker Anxious as Her Teen Son Is Escorted to Border by His Grandmother\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710236/bay-area-asylum-seeker-anxious-as-grandmother-escorts-teen-son-to-border\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34304_alt_806-1-1180x885.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rosa\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Ortiz's clients, Rosa, has been in Los Angeles for about two months. She fled gang violence in El Salvador with her two children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Rosa arrived, she pictured Los Angeles as a place full of luxury and natural beauty. Some areas of the city are like that, Rosa said. But her corner of Los Angeles looks and feels like the place she escaped from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I sometimes feel as if I were in the capital of El Salvador,\" said Rosa, who requested that her last name be withheld because her asylum case is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was surprised by how much housing costs here. During their first month in Los Angeles, Rosa and her family lived in cramped quarters with another family sleeping right next to the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We chose to move because we could not access the bathroom,\" she said. \"We did not feel comfortable entering it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Rosa has found a studio apartment near downtown LA that rents for $800 per month. But even coming up with that amount will be a struggle. Asylum-seekers are not eligible for a work permit until at least six months into their cases. Many work under the table to get by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these hurdles, Rosa said California provides what she didn't have in El Salvador: Safety, and the chance of a better life for her kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is opportunity here,\" she said. \"Here, you can realize any dream you want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz said even though it is an expensive place to live, asylum-seekers in Los Angeles have access to people who want to help. For instance, she said, \"Getting our clients connected to mental health resources outside of the LA region is very difficult. It's something that we are always struggling with.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/683328305/683501501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/biography/jenna-gilbert\">Jenna Gilbert\u003c/a>, a pro bono asylum attorney at Human Rights First, said it's heartbreaking to get calls from clients who plan to leave California months into their case, because they can't afford to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tells them they're not just losing their lawyer. They're leaving behind California's Ninth Circuit for courts that may be more likely to deny asylum claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you move to a small town in Texas, housing is going to be much cheaper,\" Gilbert said. \"But you probably won't have the legal resources.

But she said gangs threatened her for refusing to pay a \"war tax,\" a local form of extortion. She fled with her husband and two of her children, now aged 6 and 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've been living in Los Angeles for more than two years, and they're still awaiting a decision in their asylum case. By now, they've settled into a routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At six o'clock, we get up and get ready,\" Lizeth said. They need to be out the door by 7:20 a.m., so Lizeth can get to work by 8:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Lizeth a year and a half to get her work permit. Her husband just received his. Like other asylum-seekers, they started off renting rooms in houses crammed with other occupants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, they can afford the $1,000 rent for their own studio apartment in the San Fernando Valley. It doesn't offer much privacy, Lizeth said. A simple room divider separates the living room from the bedroom. But their home is decked out with festive Christmas decorations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's 1,000 percent better,\" than anything she expected to have, Lizeth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years may sound like a long time to wait for an asylum decision. But Lizeth's attorney Jenna Gilbert said these days \"two years is on the shorter end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As years go by, Gilbert worries that judges may start to think her clients no longer have a credible fear of gang members in their home country. She says a claim that may have been strong a few years ago, \"maybe today isn't so strong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things are changing so rapidly, there's really no way to provide your clients with any kind of comfort, any kind of understanding of what the road ahead might look like,\" Gilbert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream.'\u003ccite>Lizeth, immigrant from Honduras living in L.A.\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At this point, Gilbert is hoping that a decision in Lizeth's case is delayed until 2020 or later, when there could be a new president in the White House with more favorable asylum policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now that we're kind of at the halfway point, I'm hoping that cases slow down as much as possible until we can see the end of this administration,\" Gilbert said. \"Hopefully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Lizeth and her family grow more comfortable in California every day. They've put a down payment on a car. Their kids are picking up English in school. Lizeth worries what would happen if they were deported back to Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They think those of us coming from the United States are carrying a lot of money,\" she said. \"There are many cases of people who went back to Honduras and didn't live more than a month.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, Lizeth said, the future is bright. In Honduras, holidays were hard. She could afford to give her kids gifts or a nice meal, but never both. This year, in the U.S., she was able to make a big Christmas dinner and give her children new clothes and shoes. A nice Christmas, she said, like she hadn't had in a long time.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Instead, he first outlined what he says is an urgent need to address a growing number of migrants trying to cross the border and for drugs coming across illegally. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Children are being used as human pawns by ruthless coyotes and gangs. Women are being sexually assaulted. Women and children are the biggest victims of tragedy on southern border,\" Trump claimed.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has tried to establish a link between terrorism and the situation at the southern border, and on Tuesday night said a\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\"barrier is absolutely critical to national security.\" But Trump and his allies have often exaggerated the threat or simply used inaccurate or misleading statistics in order to do so. While there has been a spike in southern border crossings in the past few months — largely children and families fleeing violence in Central America — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/us/politics/fact-check-trump-border-crossings-declining-.html\">overall illegal crossings are lower than in either 2016 or 2014, and far lower than their peak around 2000\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump asked for more funding for \"cutting age technology,\" more border patrol agents (who are currently working but not being paid since the Department of Homeland Security is subject to the partial shutdown) and for more immigration judges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also claimed that \"at the request of Democrats\" any wall would be a steel barrier. However, that has not been a condition of Democrats. Rather, after long pushing for a concrete wall, Trump recently shifted to talking about using steel slats to build a barrier on the southern border, hoping that might convince some Democrats, but it has not.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have remained in staunch opposition to any contingencies on reopening the government, arguing their victories in the midterm elections and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">public polling\u003c/a> have shown the country doesn't want a wall on the southern U.S. border. \u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>In their response following Trump's address, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Trump of trying to \"manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump has said he won't sign any bill to reopen the government, about a quarter of which was shuttered on Dec. 22, unless Congress acquiesces to his request for $5.7 billion to build the wall — Trump's central campaign promise that received raucous applause at his rallies, albeit with the caveat that Mexico would pay for the barrier. Last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675425269/trump-to-meet-with-chuck-and-nancy-expectations-are-low\">Trump said he would be \"proud\" to shut down the government over border security\u003c/a> and would gladly \"take the mantle.\" However, since the partial shutdown became a reality, he has tried to shift the blame to Democrats.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also tried to make the argument that the wall would be paid for, indirectly, by Mexico thanks to a new trade deal he has renegotiated to replace NAFTA. However, that new deal has not been ratified by Congress, and as \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/20/678557749/fact-check-border-wall-funding\">NPR's Tamara Keith has reported\u003c/a>, there's no guarantee the economic gains could pay for the wall, and the White House has not explained its math to back up that claim. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/OenMJ_eMw_E\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House press secretary Sarah Sanders also claimed last week that Customs and Border Protection picked up almost 4,000 suspected terrorists along the southern border, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/fact-check-did-u-s-catch-4-000-terrorists-southern-n954796\">NBC News\u003c/a> found those stops have largely been made at airports. During the first half of fiscal year 2018, CBP stopped just six immigrants at ports of entry on the southern border who were on a federal terrorist watch list, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/only-six-immigrants-terrorism-database-stopped-cbp-southern-border-first-n955861\">NBC also found\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Women and children are the biggest victims of tragedy on southern border,\" Trump claimed.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has tried to establish a link between terrorism and the situation at the southern border, and on Tuesday night said a\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\"barrier is absolutely critical to national security.\" But Trump and his allies have often exaggerated the threat or simply used inaccurate or misleading statistics in order to do so. While there has been a spike in southern border crossings in the past few months — largely children and families fleeing violence in Central America — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/us/politics/fact-check-trump-border-crossings-declining-.html\">overall illegal crossings are lower than in either 2016 or 2014, and far lower than their peak around 2000\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump asked for more funding for \"cutting age technology,\" more border patrol agents (who are currently working but not being paid since the Department of Homeland Security is subject to the partial shutdown) and for more immigration judges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also claimed that \"at the request of Democrats\" any wall would be a steel barrier. However, that has not been a condition of Democrats. Rather, after long pushing for a concrete wall, Trump recently shifted to talking about using steel slats to build a barrier on the southern border, hoping that might convince some Democrats, but it has not.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have remained in staunch opposition to any contingencies on reopening the government, arguing their victories in the midterm elections and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">public polling\u003c/a> have shown the country doesn't want a wall on the southern U.S. border. \u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>In their response following Trump's address, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Trump of trying to \"manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump has said he won't sign any bill to reopen the government, about a quarter of which was shuttered on Dec. 22, unless Congress acquiesces to his request for $5.7 billion to build the wall — Trump's central campaign promise that received raucous applause at his rallies, albeit with the caveat that Mexico would pay for the barrier. Last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675425269/trump-to-meet-with-chuck-and-nancy-expectations-are-low\">Trump said he would be \"proud\" to shut down the government over border security\u003c/a> and would gladly \"take the mantle.\" However, since the partial shutdown became a reality, he has tried to shift the blame to Democrats.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also tried to make the argument that the wall would be paid for, indirectly, by Mexico thanks to a new trade deal he has renegotiated to replace NAFTA. However, that new deal has not been ratified by Congress, and as \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/20/678557749/fact-check-border-wall-funding\">NPR's Tamara Keith has reported\u003c/a>, there's no guarantee the economic gains could pay for the wall, and the White House has not explained its math to back up that claim. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/OenMJ_eMw_E'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/OenMJ_eMw_E'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>White House press secretary Sarah Sanders also claimed last week that Customs and Border Protection picked up almost 4,000 suspected terrorists along the southern border, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/fact-check-did-u-s-catch-4-000-terrorists-southern-n954796\">NBC News\u003c/a> found those stops have largely been made at airports.

"title": "FACT CHECK: Can Trump Use Emergency Powers to Build the Wall?",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>President Trump has suggested that he might resort to using \"emergency\" powers to build his border wall if he is not able to reach agreement on funding with congressional Democrats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are looking at it very strongly,\" Trump told reporters on Sunday. \"We're looking at a national emergency, because we have a national emergency.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president does have broad powers to act in a crisis situation, but those powers are not unlimited. And critics say Trump should be careful about invoking them in this instance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716368/trump-will-address-nation-about-border-as-shutdown-drags-into-third-week\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">prepares to address the nation\u003c/a> Tuesday night, here are five facts about Trump's emergency powers and the border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. What are a president's emergency powers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are dozens of laws that give the president special powers to act in an emergency. For example, in an emergency, the president is allowed to divert money to military construction projects, which could conceivably include the border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Declaring the emergency is pretty easy,\" said \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/01/presidential-emergency-powers/576418/\">Elizabeth Goitein\u003c/a>, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. \"There aren't a lot of legal limits on his ability to do that, frankly, even if there isn't a real emergency happening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. What say does Congress have?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mid-1970s, Congress passed a law designed to provide some check on the president's power while also preserving flexibility to act in an emergency. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-90/pdf/STATUTE-90-Pg1255.pdf\">National Emergencies Act\u003c/a> requires the president to notify Congress when an emergency is declared and to list the powers that are being invoked. The law requires the administration to provide regular updates to Congress, and allows lawmakers to terminate an emergency if both House and Senate vote to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Would congressional critics have recourse if Trump invoked emergency powers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress could reject the president's emergency declaration with a vote in both the House and Senate. But the Republican-controlled Senate seems unlikely to take that step. Instead, critics would very likely pursue a legal challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the president would be wide open to a court challenge saying, 'Where's the emergency?' \" Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, told ABC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goitein also cautioned that a resort to emergency powers in the current situation — in the midst of a standoff with lawmakers that has produced a partial government shutdown — could be considered an abuse of the president's power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Emergency powers are intended to be used for emergencies, not to settle political disputes or to shortcut the political process,\" Goitein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. What is the emergency? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has described the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border as both a humanitarian and national security crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have criminals coming in,\" Trump said Sunday. \"We have human traffickers coming in. We have drugs pouring in. We have things happening that you don't want to even know about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has also raised the specter of terrorists crossing the border, although \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf0cvSTMz_s&feature=youtu.be&t=337\">many of these claims are overblown\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has happened on the border in recent months is \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\">a surge of Central American families seeking asylum\u003c/a>. U.S. law and and court orders make it difficult to quickly deport these families or detain them for an extended period while their asylum claims are adjudicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Would a wall help?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has insisted since the 2016 campaign that a physical barrier along the U.S. border with Mexico is the solution to what he sees as a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Walls work,\" the president \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/president-trump-sends-letter-border-security/\">wrote in a letter to lawmakers\u003c/a> last week. \"That's why rich, powerful, and successful people build them around their homes.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. What are a president's emergency powers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are dozens of laws that give the president special powers to act in an emergency. For example, in an emergency, the president is allowed to divert money to military construction projects, which could conceivably include the border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Declaring the emergency is pretty easy,\" said \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/01/presidential-emergency-powers/576418/\">Elizabeth Goitein\u003c/a>, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. \"There aren't a lot of legal limits on his ability to do that, frankly, even if there isn't a real emergency happening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. What say does Congress have?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mid-1970s, Congress passed a law designed to provide some check on the president's power while also preserving flexibility to act in an emergency. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-90/pdf/STATUTE-90-Pg1255.pdf\">National Emergencies Act\u003c/a> requires the president to notify Congress when an emergency is declared and to list the powers that are being invoked. The law requires the administration to provide regular updates to Congress, and allows lawmakers to terminate an emergency if both House and Senate vote to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Would congressional critics have recourse if Trump invoked emergency powers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress could reject the president's emergency declaration with a vote in both the House and Senate. But the Republican-controlled Senate seems unlikely to take that step. Instead, critics would very likely pursue a legal challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the president would be wide open to a court challenge saying, 'Where's the emergency?' \" Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, told ABC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goitein also cautioned that a resort to emergency powers in the current situation — in the midst of a standoff with lawmakers that has produced a partial government shutdown — could be considered an abuse of the president's power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Emergency powers are intended to be used for emergencies, not to settle political disputes or to shortcut the political process,\" Goitein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. What is the emergency? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has described the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border as both a humanitarian and national security crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have criminals coming in,\" Trump said Sunday. \"We have human traffickers coming in. We have drugs pouring in. We have things happening that you don't want to even know about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has also raised the specter of terrorists crossing the border, although \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf0cvSTMz_s&feature=youtu.be&t=337\">many of these claims are overblown\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has happened on the border in recent months is \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\">a surge of Central American families seeking asylum\u003c/a>. U.S. law and and court orders make it difficult to quickly deport these families or detain them for an extended period while their asylum claims are adjudicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Would a wall help?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has insisted since the 2016 campaign that a physical barrier along the U.S. border with Mexico is the solution to what he sees as a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Walls work,\" the president \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/president-trump-sends-letter-border-security/\">wrote in a letter to lawmakers\u003c/a> last week. \"That's why rich, powerful, and successful people build them around their homes.

This week's events involving the president come as a partial shutdown of the federal government drags into its third week with no apparent end in sight to the impasse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump tweeted he will \"Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border\" on Tuesday night. It will be his first Oval Office address as president. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1082319456246923267\">also announced\u003c/a> that Trump will travel to the border on Thursday \"to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1082347305699889157\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wall on the southern border with Mexico was Trump's hallmark campaign promise, and he's under pressure from his base and conservative commentators to deliver. But, unable to obtain the funding he desired for it under a GOP-controlled Congress for the past two years, Trump last month said he would not sign any spending measure that did not contain sufficient funding for construction of the wall. As a result of the standoff, about a quarter of the government shut down on Dec. 22. In 2019, the president's now hitting even more resistance from the newly-installed Democratic House after a bruising midterm election cycle where Democrats won 40 House seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's an argument Trump and his allies have struggled to make since before they took office, but now they'll try to use his bully pulpit to move public opinion. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll last month\u003c/a> found Americans — By a 21-point margin of 57 percent to 36 percent — wanted Trump to compromise on the wall instead of shutting down the government. Over two-thirds also said a wall shouldn't be an immediate priority for Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weekend talks to resolve the shutdown stalemate between Vice President Pence and congressional staffers produced no breakthrough. Although Trump characterized the talks as \"\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1082032550112047104\">productive\u003c/a>,\" Democrats said there was no progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pence told reporters at the White House on Monday that Trump was \"considering\" declaring a national emergency — the option is being \"looked at and examined\" — which could allow him to begin construction of the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the weekend, the White House did formalize its request for $5.7 billion to fund Trump's border wall — a number Pence said Monday Trump will not retreat from. In a letter to lawmakers, the administration said that sum would pay for 234 miles of new barrier — at a cost of roughly $24 million per mile. The material used would now be steel, not concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716115/locals-pick-up-the-slack-and-the-trash-as-government-shutdown-continues\">Locals Pick Up the Slack (and the Trash) as Government Shutdown Continues\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716115/locals-pick-up-the-slack-and-the-trash-as-government-shutdown-continues\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34624_10773544416_IMG_0235-qut-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The administration is also seeking hundreds of millions of dollars for additional Border Patrol agents, immigration judges, detention beds, drug detection equipment and to address what it calls \"urgent humanitarian needs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pence argued that this approach represented a compromise on the White House's part, to go beyond just a wall and fund things Democrats want too. And he pushed back on criticism this was just a way to appeal to Trump's \"base.\u003cstrong>\" \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This isn't about [the] base. This is about the American people. This is about human trafficking, this is about a humanitarian crisis, this is about the flow of illegal drugs, illegal immigrants and the president's determination to address that issue with action and with resources,\" Pence said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional Democrats are resisting the president's demand for wall funding. In an exercise in political messaging, the House is expected to begin voting Tuesday on a series of bills to reopen shuttered government agencies without additional money for a border barrier. Although a handful of Republican senators from swing states have expressed a desire to end the partial shutdown, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is adamant that the Senate will not vote on funding bills that don't have support from the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Senate Democrats say they will block even bringing up the start of legislative business this week. According to a senior Democratic aide, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has notified the caucus he will vote against proceeding to the first bill of the session because Senate Republicans should instead be bringing up the Democratic-led House-passed bills to reopen the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday is a scheduled payday for federal workers. If the impasse is not resolved by then, some 800,000 federal employees will miss being paid for the first time during the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the standoff continues into the weekend, it will be the longest shutdown in recent history. It also has the potential to impact February food stamp benefits provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Upcoming tax refund checks might have been disrupted too, but the White House said Monday the IRS would issue refunds during the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional correspondent Scott Detrow and NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Over two-thirds also said a wall shouldn't be an immediate priority for Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weekend talks to resolve the shutdown stalemate between Vice President Pence and congressional staffers produced no breakthrough. Although Trump characterized the talks as \"\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1082032550112047104\">productive\u003c/a>,\" Democrats said there was no progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pence told reporters at the White House on Monday that Trump was \"considering\" declaring a national emergency — the option is being \"looked at and examined\" — which could allow him to begin construction of the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the weekend, the White House did formalize its request for $5.7 billion to fund Trump's border wall — a number Pence said Monday Trump will not retreat from. In a letter to lawmakers, the administration said that sum would pay for 234 miles of new barrier — at a cost of roughly $24 million per mile. The material used would now be steel, not concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716115/locals-pick-up-the-slack-and-the-trash-as-government-shutdown-continues\">Locals Pick Up the Slack (and the Trash) as Government Shutdown Continues\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716115/locals-pick-up-the-slack-and-the-trash-as-government-shutdown-continues\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34624_10773544416_IMG_0235-qut-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The administration is also seeking hundreds of millions of dollars for additional Border Patrol agents, immigration judges, detention beds, drug detection equipment and to address what it calls \"urgent humanitarian needs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pence argued that this approach represented a compromise on the White House's part, to go beyond just a wall and fund things Democrats want too.

In an exercise in political messaging, the House is expected to begin voting Tuesday on a series of bills to reopen shuttered government agencies without additional money for a border barrier. Although a handful of Republican senators from swing states have expressed a desire to end the partial shutdown, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is adamant that the Senate will not vote on funding bills that don't have support from the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Senate Democrats say they will block even bringing up the start of legislative business this week. According to a senior Democratic aide, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has notified the caucus he will vote against proceeding to the first bill of the session because Senate Republicans should instead be bringing up the Democratic-led House-passed bills to reopen the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday is a scheduled payday for federal workers. If the impasse is not resolved by then, some 800,000 federal employees will miss being paid for the first time during the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the standoff continues into the weekend, it will be the longest shutdown in recent history. It also has the potential to impact February food stamp benefits provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Upcoming tax refund checks might have been disrupted too, but the White House said Monday the IRS would issue refunds during the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional correspondent Scott Detrow and NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
