"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Jump to our \u003ca href=\"#lawsuit\">lawsuit interactive below\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a man who has alternatively been called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/how-u-s-rep-xavier-becerra-may-become-face-trump-n691836\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">face\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/diaz/article/State-attorney-general-leader-of-the-California-11243773.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">leader\u003c/a>, and the \u003ca href=\"http://blueprint.ucla.edu/feature/xavier-becerra-leading-the-trump-resistance/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">speartip\u003c/a> of the progressive “resistance” to the Trump administration, Xavier Becerra seems comfortable working outside the spotlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Jerry Brown tapped Becerra to replace U.S. Senate-bound Kamala Harris as California’s attorney general, the 59-year-old congressman came with more than two decades of experience cutting deals and building coalitions as a high-ranking, but (outside certain political circles) little-known representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, almost a year into his Sacramento gig as the state’s top lawyer, Becerra’s office has put its name on 21 lawsuits against the Trump administration. By volume, that represents a rate of litigiousness unmatched by any of his counterparts in other states. But whereas the attorneys general of Washington, Hawaii, Maryland, and New York have been the first to file some of the year’s most headline grabbing cases—the travel ban, the DACA case, and the Emoluments Clause suit, to name a few—Becerra has been more likely to spearhead lower-profile challenges or sit back and provide support while others take the lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Public service is a team sport,” he told CALmatters of his efforts working with attorneys general in other states. “You can’t get things done -- whether it’s as a member of Congress or as an attorney general -- without relying on a team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The approach is consistent with the public persona that Becerra—who was raised in Sacramento, represented part of Los Angeles in the House of Representatives, and was tasked with keeping his colleagues unified as \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/latino/311112-xavier-becerra-moves-back-to-california-after-24-years\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">chairman\u003c/a> of the House Democratic Caucus—has \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-attorney-general/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cultivated\u003c/a> for himself as a careful, dispassionate and capable public servant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not looking to pick a fight, but we’re ready for one,” he said during his state confirmation hearing, and many times since—including during an interview this week. Before hitting the “nuclear option” of a lawsuit, he said, “we’d like to resolve things if possible. That’s what I had to do when I was in Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by his definition, Becerra isn’t afraid to go nuclear. Beyond the 21 lawsuits, he has filed nearly 20 friend-of-the-court briefs, an avalanche of sternly worded letters, and a handful of cases in which the state has intervened on the same side as federal agencies sued by conservative groups or businesses, anticipating a half-hearted defense from the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, if California is the Democratic state leading “the resistance” against an aggressive Republican administration, it appears to be leading from behind at times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When President Trump issued his first two travel bans, which barred citizens from more than half a dozen Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, it was the attorneys general of Washington and Hawaii who led the charge, with California only joining later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the president announced that he was ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration program, which allowed those who entered the United States illegally as minors to remain on a temporary basis, 15 states and the District of Columbia sued within 24 hours. California’s suit came a week later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the top law enforcement officers from Maryland and D.C. filed a suit claiming that the president had violated the anti-corruption Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, there was silence from Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when liberal comedy show host Samantha Bee \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5_buE1b21U\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed\u003c/a> New York’s Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, characterizing him as a literal comic book superhero battling to save progressive America from the Trump regime, Becerra went unmentioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump’s legal \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/02/eric-schneiderman-donald-trump-new-york-214734\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tangles\u003c/a> with Schneiderman pre-date his presidency—he has called the New York AG a “lightweight” and a “hack” out to get him. But the White House has refrained from striking back against Becerra in a direct way, instead insisting that lawsuit challenges are wrong-headed and expressing confidence that the administration will ultimately prevail in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the California attorney general’s relatively low profile exemplifies political deftness and pragmatism, or merely a lack of gusto, depends on whom you ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Maine Attorney General James Tierney, for one, says Becerra has demonstrated national leadership “even in cases where his name is not in the headlines.” The skills that he developed in the House, building consensus and holding a caucus together, seem to have served Becerra in building ties with attorneys general in other states, said Tierney, a lecturer at Harvard Law School who teaches a class on the role of attorneys general. “He knew from his congressional experience that everybody counts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since before President Trump’s inauguration, staff from the 21 Democratic state attorneys general offices have been holding weekly conference calls to share notes, anticipate the president’s next move, and build a nationwide strategy of litigative resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California, to its credit, has really stepped up under Becerra,” said George Jepsen, the attorney general of Connecticut, who has filed or signed onto eight lawsuits against the administration, six of them alongside California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while some see a team player, others call for a team captain. In that camp is Dave Jones, California’s Democratic state’s insurance commissioner, who hopes to unseat Becerra in next year’s election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot at stake in California and so we ought to be leading,” Jones said. “Much of what the attorney general has done is to join others’ lawsuits and I think you lose control—you’re not able to bring to bear the expertise of the California Department of Justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones attributes what he characterizes as Becerra’s chief failure to a lack of legal experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Becerra has been in Congress for 23 years. He hasn’t been practicing law,” he said. “What I bring to this is direct experience as a practicing lawyer, as a litigator who has been practicing law and preparing himself for the office of attorney general for my entire career. This is not something that just fell into my lap.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra’s qualifications for the job notwithstanding—prior to his legislative career, he served as deputy state attorney general—his appointment by Gov. Brown last December couldn’t have come at a better time. A late 2015 \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/xavier-becerra-democrats-house-216783\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">profile\u003c/a> in Politico described the congressman as a perennial “up-and-comer,” whose rising political star was tethered by the shortage of available positions at the top of the party and a lack of broader name recognition. Maybe he could run for the U.S. Senate, the profile noted, but “his name ID outside Los Angeles (is) in the low single digits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be changing. If January 2017 represents a political nadir for the Democratic party nationwide, it was just about the best time to be a Democratic attorney general. In a state where voters turned against the current president by a two-to-one margin and when late night comedy hosts are treating litigants against the president as superheros, what left-of-center politician wouldn’t jump at the chance to be chief thorn in the president’s side?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the right, not surprisingly, the California GOP has slammed the attorney general for a perceived fixation on the Trump administration. In an online political ad, Steven Bailey, one of two Republicans registered to run for the seat, bemoans the fact that the state’s top law enforcement officer “seems more occupied with fighting with the federal government in Washington than doing his job here in California“ over a video clip of Becerra speaking at the U.S.-Mexico border. He and other Republicans have argued that the attorney general’s office should instead focus on curbing the recent \u003ca href=\"https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov/resources/publications\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">increase\u003c/a> in the statewide violent crime rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But given the blue hue of California’s electorate, the question of who is best suited to take on the Trump administration is likely to dominate next year’s race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a really fundamental shift in the nature of the job,” said Paul Nolette, a political science assistant professor at Marquette University. “One of the things that attorneys general are supposed to do is represent the state’s interest in court, but they have increasingly defined those state interests through a partisan lens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That shift began in the last few years of the Obama administration, when red state attorneys general such as Greg Abbott of Texas (now the state’s governor) and Oklahoma’s Scott Pruitt (now leading President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency) led a conservative “rapid response team” against the Obama White House. Thus the famous quote from Abbott describing his job as the Lone Star state’s top lawyer: “I go into the office in the morning, I sue Barack Obama, and then I go home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra may insist that he’s not looking to pick a fight, but that Texas approach has continued under Trump, stronger than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you compare Becerra to AGs even 10 years ago, he’s very aggressive in terms of how rapidly he’s responding,” said Nolette. “I guess it’s all relative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"lawsuit\">Becerra v Trump: How California Is Using the Courts to Fight the Administration\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/products/interactives/trump-lawsuit-2017/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown tapped Becerra to replace U.S. Senate-bound Kamala Harris as California’s attorney general, the 59-year-old congressman came with more than two decades of experience cutting deals and building coalitions as a high-ranking, but (outside certain political circles) little-known representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, almost a year into his Sacramento gig as the state’s top lawyer, Becerra’s office has put its name on 21 lawsuits against the Trump administration. By volume, that represents a rate of litigiousness unmatched by any of his counterparts in other states. But whereas the attorneys general of Washington, Hawaii, Maryland, and New York have been the first to file some of the year’s most headline grabbing cases—the travel ban, the DACA case, and the Emoluments Clause suit, to name a few—Becerra has been more likely to spearhead lower-profile challenges or sit back and provide support while others take the lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Public service is a team sport,” he told CALmatters of his efforts working with attorneys general in other states. “You can’t get things done -- whether it’s as a member of Congress or as an attorney general -- without relying on a team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Before hitting the “nuclear option” of a lawsuit, he said, “we’d like to resolve things if possible. That’s what I had to do when I was in Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by his definition, Becerra isn’t afraid to go nuclear. Beyond the 21 lawsuits, he has filed nearly 20 friend-of-the-court briefs, an avalanche of sternly worded letters, and a handful of cases in which the state has intervened on the same side as federal agencies sued by conservative groups or businesses, anticipating a half-hearted defense from the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, if California is the Democratic state leading “the resistance” against an aggressive Republican administration, it appears to be leading from behind at times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When President Trump issued his first two travel bans, which barred citizens from more than half a dozen Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, it was the attorneys general of Washington and Hawaii who led the charge, with California only joining later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the president announced that he was ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration program, which allowed those who entered the United States illegally as minors to remain on a temporary basis, 15 states and the District of Columbia sued within 24 hours. California’s suit came a week later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the top law enforcement officers from Maryland and D.C. filed a suit claiming that the president had violated the anti-corruption Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, there was silence from Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when liberal comedy show host Samantha Bee \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5_buE1b21U\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed\u003c/a> New York’s Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, characterizing him as a literal comic book superhero battling to save progressive America from the Trump regime, Becerra went unmentioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump’s legal \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/02/eric-schneiderman-donald-trump-new-york-214734\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tangles\u003c/a> with Schneiderman pre-date his presidency—he has called the New York AG a “lightweight” and a “hack” out to get him. But the White House has refrained from striking back against Becerra in a direct way, instead insisting that lawsuit challenges are wrong-headed and expressing confidence that the administration will ultimately prevail in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the California attorney general’s relatively low profile exemplifies political deftness and pragmatism, or merely a lack of gusto, depends on whom you ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Maine Attorney General James Tierney, for one, says Becerra has demonstrated national leadership “even in cases where his name is not in the headlines.” The skills that he developed in the House, building consensus and holding a caucus together, seem to have served Becerra in building ties with attorneys general in other states, said Tierney, a lecturer at Harvard Law School who teaches a class on the role of attorneys general. “He knew from his congressional experience that everybody counts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since before President Trump’s inauguration, staff from the 21 Democratic state attorneys general offices have been holding weekly conference calls to share notes, anticipate the president’s next move, and build a nationwide strategy of litigative resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California, to its credit, has really stepped up under Becerra,” said George Jepsen, the attorney general of Connecticut, who has filed or signed onto eight lawsuits against the administration, six of them alongside California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while some see a team player, others call for a team captain. In that camp is Dave Jones, California’s Democratic state’s insurance commissioner, who hopes to unseat Becerra in next year’s election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot at stake in California and so we ought to be leading,” Jones said. “Much of what the attorney general has done is to join others’ lawsuits and I think you lose control—you’re not able to bring to bear the expertise of the California Department of Justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones attributes what he characterizes as Becerra’s chief failure to a lack of legal experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Becerra has been in Congress for 23 years. He hasn’t been practicing law,” he said. “What I bring to this is direct experience as a practicing lawyer, as a litigator who has been practicing law and preparing himself for the office of attorney general for my entire career. This is not something that just fell into my lap.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra’s qualifications for the job notwithstanding—prior to his legislative career, he served as deputy state attorney general—his appointment by Gov. Brown last December couldn’t have come at a better time. A late 2015 \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/xavier-becerra-democrats-house-216783\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">profile\u003c/a> in Politico described the congressman as a perennial “up-and-comer,” whose rising political star was tethered by the shortage of available positions at the top of the party and a lack of broader name recognition. Maybe he could run for the U.S. Senate, the profile noted, but “his name ID outside Los Angeles (is) in the low single digits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be changing. If January 2017 represents a political nadir for the Democratic party nationwide, it was just about the best time to be a Democratic attorney general. In a state where voters turned against the current president by a two-to-one margin and when late night comedy hosts are treating litigants against the president as superheros, what left-of-center politician wouldn’t jump at the chance to be chief thorn in the president’s side?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the right, not surprisingly, the California GOP has slammed the attorney general for a perceived fixation on the Trump administration. In an online political ad, Steven Bailey, one of two Republicans registered to run for the seat, bemoans the fact that the state’s top law enforcement officer “seems more occupied with fighting with the federal government in Washington than doing his job here in California“ over a video clip of Becerra speaking at the U.S.-Mexico border. He and other Republicans have argued that the attorney general’s office should instead focus on curbing the recent \u003ca href=\"https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov/resources/publications\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">increase\u003c/a> in the statewide violent crime rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But given the blue hue of California’s electorate, the question of who is best suited to take on the Trump administration is likely to dominate next year’s race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a really fundamental shift in the nature of the job,” said Paul Nolette, a political science assistant professor at Marquette University. “One of the things that attorneys general are supposed to do is represent the state’s interest in court, but they have increasingly defined those state interests through a partisan lens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That shift began in the last few years of the Obama administration, when red state attorneys general such as Greg Abbott of Texas (now the state’s governor) and Oklahoma’s Scott Pruitt (now leading President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency) led a conservative “rapid response team” against the Obama White House. Thus the famous quote from Abbott describing his job as the Lone Star state’s top lawyer: “I go into the office in the morning, I sue Barack Obama, and then I go home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra may insist that he’s not looking to pick a fight, but that Texas approach has continued under Trump, stronger than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you compare Becerra to AGs even 10 years ago, he’s very aggressive in terms of how rapidly he’s responding,” said Nolette. “I guess it’s all relative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"lawsuit\">Becerra v Trump: How California Is Using the Courts to Fight the Administration\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By 2015, Latinos had edged just past whites to become the state’s largest ethnic group at 39 percent of the population. By 2050, Latinos are projected to make up 51 percent of California’s population. Whites are projected to decrease to 24 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Births are fueling this population growth, not immigration. In fact, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewhispanic.org/states/state/ca/\">two-thirds of Latinos in California\u003c/a> -- and the U.S. more generally -- are born on American soil.

Interviews I’ve conducted in California’s Latino community as research for a book suggests that a small well-heeled group is actively involved in growing a Latino middle class. They are using their social, economic and political resources to help others attain college degrees, start small businesses and build wealth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their desire to work for change is rooted in optimism for the future based on their own success, as many are the children of immigrants. They also say they were politicized by key moments when politicians targeted Latinos with nativist anti-immigrant rhetoric and punitive legislation. These positive and negative experiences have instilled in them a sense of responsibility for the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some trace their ethnic solidarity to California’s anti-immigrant era in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pete Wilson, then governor of California, ran his reelection campaign on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/latinos/rise-nativism.pdf\">nativist platform\u003c/a>. Some people I interviewed who were in college during this period participated in actions against laws like \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_187,_Illegal_Aliens_Ineligible_for_Public_Benefits_(1994)\">Proposition 187\u003c/a>, an anti-immigrant initiative that sought to deny benefits to unauthorized immigrants. Others have been pushed into action by more recent threats to the Latino population, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.everydaysociologyblog.com/2010/05/arizona-immigration-law-and-racial-profiling.html\">SB 1070\u003c/a>, Arizona’s harsh 2010 immigration law that institutionalized racial profiling. Their desire to combat negative stereotypes and infuse their communities with resources has only grown more urgent in the Trump era, a time when many feel once again under attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What matters to Latino economic and political elites?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Latino economic elites are overseeing and funding Latino institutions centered on two key social issues. One issue is Latino youths’ access to higher education and college degree completion. The second is economic empowerment through the financial sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are on the verge of a major demographic shift, a power shift,\" one person I interviewed told me. “It’s already happening in politics. The idea is to create our own opportunities and open up access to these areas. To grow the Latino middle class, we have to give back by providing access.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They approach these concerns in different ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/09/29/hispanic-dropout-rate-hits-new-low-college-enrollment-at-new-high/\">record levels of college enrollments nationwide\u003c/a>, Latino educational attainment remains relatively low. Latino elites are organizing around this issue through what I call “ethno-racial philanthropy.” This is the practice of creating, or giving to, Latino nonprofit organizations that focus on alleviating social and economic inequalities. They give to Latino-led organizations that facilitate college prep programs in low-income communities with the goal of increasing the number of Latinos going to college. They spearhead charter schools in Latino communities. They collectively give millions to local and national Latino scholarship funds. They attempt to establish pipelines into careers in which Latinos are severely underrepresented, such as media and STEM.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"qIEisjL50Wuqpv3qPYjWa5al4Vz95H2l\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, like Gil and Jacki Cisneros, start their own educational \u003ca href=\"http://cisnerosfoundation.org/\">philanthropic organizations\u003c/a>.

The Cisneros’ have endowed a scholarship at USC Annenberg and established the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute at George Washington University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gil Cisneros told me, “To me, education is the biggest issue. It really is a game changer. It has the potential to change the trajectory of your life... As the Latino population grows, we need to talk about how we will elevate this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gil Cisneros is now one of several candidates of color running for Congress in the primaries in \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California%27s_39th_Congressional_District_election,_2018\">California’s 39th Congressional District\u003c/a>, a battleground in Orange County and my hometown district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Latino elites are concerned about \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2016/06/27/1-demographic-trends-and-economic-well-being/\">the persistent Latino wealth gap\u003c/a>. White households hold 10 times the wealth of Latino households. Some Latino elites have started Latino banks or are engaging in other efforts to connect Latinos to sources of financial capital from which they’ve traditionally been excluded. They believe that these efforts will help Latinos build assets and wealth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these actions may be profit-driven, those involved also see a broader mission of \"creating economic stability in the community\" by helping unbanked low-income Latinos open bank accounts and build credit scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other efforts concentrate on providing access to loans to Latino entrepreneurs, who are growing at a rate \u003ca href=\"https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/publications/state-latino-entrepreneurship-2016\">faster than any other group\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://soba.ucr.edu/centers/carousel/Minority_Business_Owner_Report_Hispanic_4_13_2016.pdf\">who own a quarter of all businesses in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bank is a critical component of a successful community,\" one wealthy business owner told me. \"Banks can play a vital role for communities and groups.

By 2015, Latinos had edged just past whites to become the state’s largest ethnic group at 39 percent of the population. By 2050, Latinos are projected to make up 51 percent of California’s population. Whites are projected to decrease to 24 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Births are fueling this population growth, not immigration. In fact, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewhispanic.org/states/state/ca/\">two-thirds of Latinos in California\u003c/a> -- and the U.S. more generally -- are born on American soil. The Golden State’s future is linked to the social and economic integration of Latino Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast to the \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/4473972/donald-trump-mexico-meeting-insult/\">criminal\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/08/31/trumps-repeated-claim-that-more-hispanics-are-in-poverty-under-obama/?utm_term=.81e5d0eb2b86\">poverty narratives\u003c/a> so often told by President Donald Trump, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=21566\">I study\u003c/a> the Latino middle class. Currently, I’m looking into the rise of a small but powerful class of Latino economic and political elites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://global.oup.com/academic/product/handbook-of-family-diversity-9780195120394?cc=us&lang=en&\">Latino communities are often viewed\u003c/a> as lacking ethnic elites who can infuse communities with educational and financial resources. \u003ca href=\"http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/T/bo13375722.html\">Scholars also question\u003c/a> whether those who enter the middle and upper class abandon lower-income neighborhoods and the people who live there, taking with them networks and financial resources that can support mobility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who is correct? Interviews I’ve conducted in California’s Latino community as research for a book suggests that a small well-heeled group is actively involved in growing a Latino middle class. They are using their social, economic and political resources to help others attain college degrees, start small businesses and build wealth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their desire to work for change is rooted in optimism for the future based on their own success, as many are the children of immigrants. They also say they were politicized by key moments when politicians targeted Latinos with nativist anti-immigrant rhetoric and punitive legislation. These positive and negative experiences have instilled in them a sense of responsibility for the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some trace their ethnic solidarity to California’s anti-immigrant era in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pete Wilson, then governor of California, ran his reelection campaign on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/latinos/rise-nativism.pdf\">nativist platform\u003c/a>. Some people I interviewed who were in college during this period participated in actions against laws like \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_187,_Illegal_Aliens_Ineligible_for_Public_Benefits_(1994)\">Proposition 187\u003c/a>, an anti-immigrant initiative that sought to deny benefits to unauthorized immigrants. Others have been pushed into action by more recent threats to the Latino population, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.everydaysociologyblog.com/2010/05/arizona-immigration-law-and-racial-profiling.html\">SB 1070\u003c/a>, Arizona’s harsh 2010 immigration law that institutionalized racial profiling. Their desire to combat negative stereotypes and infuse their communities with resources has only grown more urgent in the Trump era, a time when many feel once again under attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What matters to Latino economic and political elites?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Latino economic elites are overseeing and funding Latino institutions centered on two key social issues. One issue is Latino youths’ access to higher education and college degree completion. The second is economic empowerment through the financial sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are on the verge of a major demographic shift, a power shift,\" one person I interviewed told me. “It’s already happening in politics. The idea is to create our own opportunities and open up access to these areas. To grow the Latino middle class, we have to give back by providing access.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They approach these concerns in different ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/09/29/hispanic-dropout-rate-hits-new-low-college-enrollment-at-new-high/\">record levels of college enrollments nationwide\u003c/a>, Latino educational attainment remains relatively low. Latino elites are organizing around this issue through what I call “ethno-racial philanthropy.” This is the practice of creating, or giving to, Latino nonprofit organizations that focus on alleviating social and economic inequalities. They give to Latino-led organizations that facilitate college prep programs in low-income communities with the goal of increasing the number of Latinos going to college. They spearhead charter schools in Latino communities. They collectively give millions to local and national Latino scholarship funds. They attempt to establish pipelines into careers in which Latinos are severely underrepresented, such as media and STEM.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, like Gil and Jacki Cisneros, start their own educational \u003ca href=\"http://cisnerosfoundation.org/\">philanthropic organizations\u003c/a>. The Cisneroses won the Mega Millions jackpot in 2010 and are \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidephilanthropy.com/home/2015/6/24/lucky-and-focused-a-lottery-winner-uses-his-millions-to-boos.html\">focusing their giving on Latino educational access and attainment\u003c/a>. The Cisneros’ have endowed a scholarship at USC Annenberg and established the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute at George Washington University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gil Cisneros told me, “To me, education is the biggest issue. It really is a game changer. It has the potential to change the trajectory of your life... As the Latino population grows, we need to talk about how we will elevate this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gil Cisneros is now one of several candidates of color running for Congress in the primaries in \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California%27s_39th_Congressional_District_election,_2018\">California’s 39th Congressional District\u003c/a>, a battleground in Orange County and my hometown district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Latino elites are concerned about \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2016/06/27/1-demographic-trends-and-economic-well-being/\">the persistent Latino wealth gap\u003c/a>. White households hold 10 times the wealth of Latino households. Some Latino elites have started Latino banks or are engaging in other efforts to connect Latinos to sources of financial capital from which they’ve traditionally been excluded. They believe that these efforts will help Latinos build assets and wealth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these actions may be profit-driven, those involved also see a broader mission of \"creating economic stability in the community\" by helping unbanked low-income Latinos open bank accounts and build credit scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other efforts concentrate on providing access to loans to Latino entrepreneurs, who are growing at a rate \u003ca href=\"https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/publications/state-latino-entrepreneurship-2016\">faster than any other group\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://soba.ucr.edu/centers/carousel/Minority_Business_Owner_Report_Hispanic_4_13_2016.pdf\">who own a quarter of all businesses in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bank is a critical component of a successful community,\" one wealthy business owner told me. \"Banks can play a vital role for communities and groups. It is not just about the bottom line for us, but more about how do we build a sound and total community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino political leaders in California are also working to help Latinos attain the California dream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most, like Kevin de León and \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-ricardo-lara-20130728-dto-htmlstory.html\">Sen. Ricardo Lara\u003c/a>, are the upwardly mobile children of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These elected officials -- along with others like Sen. Tony Mendoza, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher and L.A. City Council member Gil Cedillo -- are proposing and passing progressive immigrant integration legislation at all levels of \u003ca href=\"http://policymatters.ucr.edu/vol6-3-immigration/\">California state government\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who should bear the responsibility of relieving inequalities in an era where the federal and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/11/01/after-tax-cuts-derailed-the-california-dream-can-the-state-get-back-on-track/\">state government\u003c/a> has continuously moved away from funding basic services to the poor and middle class?
