Humphreys College Reaches Out to Stranded Heald Students By Rhashad R. Pittman When Heald College closed abruptly a little over a month ago, leav-ing its students stranded in the midst of their academic journey, the doors to Humphreys College opened. In the past month, Humphreys College has welcomed about 150 former Heald students after Heald shut down all of its campuses in April following legal issues. Students had invested thousands of dollars and an endless amount of hours pursuing their associate degrees from Heald, only to learn they would not be able to con-tinue their programs. Humphreys leadership decided to reach out to former Heald students and offer them an opportunity to continue their college education by transfer-ring to the private, nonprofit four-year

college. Since then, the college has taken extraordinary measures to make the transition to their Stockton and Modesto campuses as smooth as pos-sible. “The recent and sudden closure of Heald College has put the educational prospects and the future of many of these students at risk, causing much uncertainty for these students,” said Humphrey’s Dean of Administration Wilma Okamoto-Vaughn. Staff members at Humphreys con-tinue to work with former Heald stu-dents on registering them for summer courses, applying for financial aid, and transferring credits from Heald. Fortu-nately, Okamoto-Vaughn said, Hum-phreys has similar academic programs that Heald offered, including paralegal

Por Rhashad R. Pittman Cuando el Colegio Heald cerró abruptamente hace poco más de un mes, dejando a sus estudiantes desamparados en medio de su viaje académico, las puertas del Colegio Humphreys abrieron. En el último mes, el Colegio Hum-phreys ha acogido cerca de 150 antiguos alumnos de Heald después de que Heald cerró todos sus planteles en abril tras prob-lemas legales. Los estudiantes habían inver-tido miles de dólares y un sin fin de horas que dedicaron con el propósito de obtener sus grados asociados de Heald, sólo para aprender que no podrían continuar en sus programas. El liderazgo en Humphreys decidió extender la mano a los antiguos alumnos de Heald y ofrecerles la oportunidad de continuar su educación universitaria medi-ante una transferencia al colegio, sin fines de lucro de cuatro años. Desde entonces, el colegio ha tomado medidas extraordinarias para hacer la transición la más suave po-sible a sus campus de Stockton y Modesto. “El cierre reciente y repentina de Heald College ha puesto las perspectivas de educación y el futuro de muchos de es-tos estudiantes en una situación de riesgo, causando mucha incertidumbre para estos estudiantes,” dijo el decano de Adminis-tración de Humphreys Wilma Okamoto-Vaughn. Los miembros del personal en Hum-

phreys continúan trabajando con antiguos alumnos de Heald registrándolos para los cursos de verano, aplicando su solicitud de ayuda financiera, y su transferencia de créditos de Heald. Afortunadamente, Okamoto-Vaughn dijo, Humphreys tiene programas académicos similares a los que Heald ofrecía, incluyendo estudios para-legales, la justicia penal, los negocios y las artes liberales. Humphreys también ha contratado a siete instructores de Heald para continuar la enseñanza de los cursos en los que los estudiantes estaban matriculados en Heald en el momento en que se cerró, para permitir a los estudiantes a continuar sus estudios sin interrupción, dijo Okamoto-Vaughn. “Es casi como si no se detuvieron,” ella dijo. “Fue una transición muy suave.” La matrícula en Humphreys es aproxi-madamente $12,456 dólares por año para un estudiante a tiempo completo. Los estudiantes pueden solicitar ayuda financiera. Humphreys es aprobado por el Departamento Federal de Educación para ofrecer préstamos subsidiados y no subsidiados para estudiantes, becas Pell y Becas Suplementarias de Oportunidades en Educación (SEOG), y beneficios para veteranos, dijo Okamoto-Vaughn. Muchos de los antiguos alumnos de Heald ya habían comprado libros y

By Betty Ramirez Growing up in the central valley town of Stockton, Calif., where his family settled after moving from La Piedad Michoacan, Mexico, Dr. Jesus Cazares, D.C., grew up in a hostile environment surrounded by drugs, violence, poverty and the loss of his mother at a young age. This gave him the strength to change directions in life. Stockton Chiropractor, Dr. Cazares reflects and admires how much his parents sacrificed as field working im-migrants in the United States in order to secure a better life, which gave his brother and him the opportunity to live the American dream. Through-out his childhood, he was exposed to limited resources. Nonetheless, he had everything he needed; a roof over his head, clothes on his back, food in the table and love from family. By the time he began attending Franklin High School, Dr. Cazares had already seen the struggle among the Hispanic population to gain a humble living. He experienced firsthand the harsh environment of the farming fields, which instilled in him the perse-verance to continue his education. Dr. Cazares is proud of his achieve-ments – and is thankful for family and friends who inspired him to never give up and rise above the challenges, as he became the first member of his fam-ily to pursue post-graduate education. “Working in the field is very hard labor.

To see my mother work so hard, and to pass at a young age, was very painful. Her work ethic inspired me.” Dr. Cazares has continues to pursue his passion for learning. He attends educational symposiums on an ongoing basis and stays current with the latest updates in the areas of Chiropractic, Functional Medicine, Physical Reha-bilitation, Nutrition and Wellness. He has also recently completed additional post-graduation education and now is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitio-ner (CCSP). Dr. Cazares has dedicated his career to educating patients on the benefits of Chiropractic care and overall health. As he talks to his patients at Premier Chiropractic (located in Stockton CA.), he is eager to share his knowledge and expertise with the latest research and

Sobresaliendo por encima de los desafíos Por Betty Ramirez Se crió en la ciudad del valle central de Stockton, California, donde su fa-milia se estableció después de mudarse de La Piedad Michoacán, México, el Dr. Jesús Cazares, D.C., creció en un ambiente hostil, rodeado por las dro-gas, la violencia, la pobreza y la pérdida de su madre a una edad temprana. Esto le dio la fuerza para cambiar de direc-ción en su vida. El Dr. Cazares, quiropráctico de Stockton, refleja y admira lo mucho que sus padres se sacrificaron como trabajadores inmigrantes en los campos de los Estados Unidos con el fin de asegurar una vida mejor, que le dio a su hermano y a él la oportunidad de vivir el sueño americano. A lo largo de su infancia, fue expuesto a recursos lim-itados. Sin embargo, tenía todo lo que necesitaba; un techo sobre su cabeza, la ropa en su espalda, la comida en la mesa y el amor familiar. Cuando comenzó a asistir a Frank-lin High School, el Dr. Cazares ya había visto la lucha de la población hispana en ganar un sueldo humilde. Él experimentó de primera mano el duro entorno de los campos de cultivo, que le inculcaron la perseverancia de con-tinuar su educación. El Dr. Cazares está orgulloso de sus logros - y está agradecido por su familia y sus amigos que lo inspiraron a nunca darse por vencido y superar los de-

safíos, ya que se convirtió en el primer miembro de su familia en obtener una educación de postgrado. “Trabajar en el campo es un trabajo muy duro. Para ver a mi madre trabajar tan duro, y fall-ecer a una edad temprana, era muy do-loroso. Su ética de trabajo me inspiró.” El Dr. Cazares ha seguido su pasión por el aprendizaje. Asiste a simposios educativos en forma continua y se man-tiene al día con las últimas actualizacio-nes en las áreas de la Quiropráctica, la Medicina Funcional, la Rehabilitación Física, la Nutrición y el Bienestar. Tam-bién ha completado recientemente una educación postgrado adicional y ahora es un Quiropráctico Certificado del Deporte Profesional (CCSP). Dr. Cazares ha dedicado su carrera a educar a los pacientes sobre los ben-eficios de la atención quiropráctica y la salud en general. Cuando habla con sus pacientes en Premier Chiropractic (ubicado en Stockton, California), se entusiasma por compartir su cono-cimiento y experiencia con las últimas investigaciones y técnicas. Él utiliza var-ias técnicas en su práctica para obtener los mejores resultados posibles. En la actualidad se especializa en el trata-miento de las hernias de disco, latigazo cervical, dolor de espalda baja, dolor de cuello, dolores de cabeza y lesiones deportivas de todas las edades. El Dr. Cazares tiene fuertes raíces

studies, criminal justice, business and liberal arts. Humphreys has also hired seven Heald instructors to continue teaching the courses that students were enrolled in at Heald at the time it closed, to al-low the students to continue their stud-ies uninterrupted, Okamoto-Vaughn said. “It’s almost like they didn’t stop,” she said. ”It was a very smooth transi-tion.” Tuition at Humphreys is about $12,456 per year for a full-time stu-dent. Students can apply for financial aid. Humphreys is approved by the Federal Department of Education to offer subsidized and unsubsidized student loans, Pell grants, and Supple-mental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG), and veterans’ benefits, Oka-moto-Vaughn said.

Many of the former Heald students had already purchased books and paid for their spring courses at Heald. Due to the circumstances, Humphreys is not charging the students to finish their spring courses at Humphreys. Students who want to continue to pursue an associate’s degree at Hum-phreys, and perhaps continue on to earn a bachelor’s, will continue with summer courses on July 5. “We wanted to do that to get them going. A lot of them were very devas-tated,” Wilma Okamoto-Vaughn said. “The worst thing is to have students depressed because they get off track and lost sight of their goals.” Heald’s Sudden Closure California Attorney General Ka-mala D. Harris filed a lawsuit in Oc-tober 2013 against the company that operated Heald College, Corinthian

Colleges, Inc., for false and predatory practices, including intentionally tar-geting “low-income, vulnerable Cali-fornians through deceptive and false advertisements and aggressive market-ing campaigns that misrepresented job placement rates and school programs,” according to a press release by the At-torney General’s office. Corinthian signed an operating agreement with the U.S. Department of Education in July 2014, according to a statement by Corinthian Colleges, and afterwards tried to sell its schools. But its efforts were unsuccessful due to federal and state regulators seeking to impose financial penalties and condi-tions on buyers, the company state-ment said. In late April, Corinthian Colleges, Inc., announced that it was shutting down its 28 campuses, including 10 Heald campuses in California, after its failure to sale its schools, which includ-ed 13 WyoTech and Everest campuses

in California. “We believe that we have attempted to do everything within our power to provide a quality education and an op-portunity for a better future for our students,” said Jack Massimino, CEO of Corinthian. “Unfortunately the cur-rent regulatory environment would not allow us to complete a transaction with several interested parties that would have allowed for a seamless transition for our students.” For Humphreys efforts to help former Heald students, retiring presi-dent Robert Humphreys Sr. received the Community Service Award from the Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce and recognition from the Central Valley Asian Chamber of Com-merce. “It’s something we wanted to do for the students,” Wilma Okamoto-Vaughn said. “It’s a win-win situation for everybody and I think everybody feels that way.”

pagado por sus cursos de primavera en Heald. Debido a las circunstancias, Humphreys no está cobrándoles a los estudiantes para terminar sus cursos de primavera en Humphreys. Los estudiantes que desean continuar para obtener un grado de asociado en Humphreys, y tal vez continúe para un título de licenciatura, continuarán con los cursos de verano, el 5 de julio. “Queríamos hacer eso para animarlos hacia adelante. Muchos de ellos estaban muy devastados,” dijo Wilma Okamoto-Vaughn. “La peor cosa es tener a estudiantes deprimidos porque se desvían de su camino y pierden de vista sus objetivos.” El cierre repentino de Heald La Fiscal General de California Kamala D. Harris pre-sentó una demanda en octubre del 2013 contra la compa-ñía que operaba Heald College, Corinthian Colleges, Inc., por las prácticas falsas y depredadores, incluyendo inten-cionalmente focalizando en “ los californianos vulnerables de bajos ingresos, mediante anuncios engañosos y falsos y campañas de marketing agresivas que falsificaban las tasas de colocación de empleo y los programas escolares,” según un comunicado de prensa de la oficina del Procurador General. Corinthian firmó un acuerdo operativo con el De-partamento de Educación de Estados Unidos en julio de 2014, según una declaración de Corinthian Colleges, y después trató de vender sus escuelas. Pero sus esfuerzos no tuvieron éxito debido a los reguladores federales y es-tatales que tratan de imponer sanciones y las condiciones financieras de los compradores, decía el comunicado de la compañía. A finales de abril, Corinthian Colleges, Inc., anunció que estaba cerrando sus 28 planteles, incluyendo 10 plant-eles Heald en California, después de su fracaso en la venta de sus escuelas, que incluyeron 13 WyoTech y Everest planteles en California. “Creemos que hemos tratado de hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para proporcionar una educación de calidad y la oportunidad de un futuro mejor para nuestros estudiantes,” dijo Jack Massimino, CEO de Corinthian. “Desafortunadamente el entorno normativo actual no nos permitía completar una transacción con varios constituy-entes interesados que hubieran permitido una transición sin problemas para nuestros estudiantes.” Por los esfuerzos de Humphreys en ayudar a los antig-uos alumnos de Heald, el presidente que está por retirarse Robert Humphreys Sr. recibió el Premio de Servicio Co-munitario de la Cámara de Comercio de Stockton y un reconocimiento de la Cámara de Comercio Asiática del Valle Central. “Es algo que queríamos hacer para los estudiantes,” dijo Wilma Okamoto-Vaughn. “Es una situación de ganar para todos y creo que todos se siente de esa manera.”

La Proposición 47 Marcará el Comienzo de una Nueva Era de Seguridad y Justicia - NCLR

Mientras el país reconsidera las políticas que han llevado a la encarcel-ación en masa de los delincuentes no violentos, California está liderando el camino hacia una reforma con más sen-tido común. El noviembre pasado, por abrumadora mayoría los californianos aprobaron la Proposición 47 que hace una reclasificación de los crímenes en delitos leves, crímenes sin violencia con-tra la propiedad, crímenes vinculados a las drogas abarcando desde delitos graves hasta aquellos de menor importe. El Consejo Nacional de La Raza (NCLR) se unió a muchos otros afili-ados, para asegurar la aprobación de esta iniciativa titulada Californians for Safety and Justice (Californianos a Fa-vor de la Seguridad y la Justicia). Esta proposición proyecta alcanzar una mul-titud de beneficios sociales y económicos para todos los californianos, y para los latinos en particular. Para aprovechar plenamente los beneficios de esta re-forma es importante que la información llegue a tanta gente como sea posible para poder explicar bien todo lo que esta ley estipula, incluyendo la opción de cambiar el estado de los antecedentes penales. En el sitio MiProp47.org se of-rece información en inglés y en español sobre cómo funciona la propuesta. En primer lugar, la Proposición 47 puede revertir una larga historia que ha existido en el sistema de justicia penal de trato discriminatorio contra las personas de color. . Se ha demostrado que los lati-

nos son más propensos a ser arrestados, detenidos y condenados a servir con-denas más largas en comparación con personas no hispanas que cometieron los mismos delitos de la clasificación penal. En segundo lugar, como todo el mundo los latinos se preocupan por la seguridad pública, y la Proposición 47 mantiene los mismos niveles de castigo para delitos graves y violentos. En tercer lugar, el ahorro anual de los costos por la reducción de los en-carcelamientos se estima en cientos de millones de dólares. El Estado invertirá esos ahorros en servicios de apoyo a la comunidad, tales como el cuidado de la salud mental, programas para el trata-miento de drogas, e iniciativas escolares diseñadas para servir a los jóvenes en riesgo. Todas estas ventajas han dem-ostrado que servirá para reducir la re-incidencia de actos delincuentes y pro-moverían la integración sana y segura de los excarcelados en las comunidades. Los fondos también se destinarían para ofrecer servicios de apoyo para las vícti-mas de los crímenes Por último, la Proposición 47 cambia para el futuro y retroactiva-mente la clasificación de seis crímenes sin violencia hasta delitos menores. Los antecedentes penales, aun cuando hayan sido por delitos leves tienen con-secuencias de importancia. Plantean barreras significativas para los ex delin-cuentes que buscan empleo, vivienda o servicios sociales y otros beneficios del gobierno, incluso cuando hayan

pagado su deuda a la sociedad. Para los inmigrantes, las consecuencias pueden ser graves: una condena por un delito grave puede conducir a la detención o deportación. Si alguna persona hubiese incurrido en una de estas seis ofensas en sus antecedentes penales, pueden pedir al tribunal que cambie la pena por su acción delictiva a una felonía. Esto pu-ede ayudar a los delincuentes no violen-tos que se reintegren a la sociedad para que puedan tener acceso a puestos de trabajo, préstamos para la educación y la vivienda, y a la vez colocarlos en una mejor posición para que contribuyan a los ingresos de su familia. Este cambio también podría reducir las consecuen-cias de inmigración. La Proposición 47 ya está funciona-ndo. Desde su aprobación en noviem-bre y finales de enero, los jueces han revisado las sentencias y liberado de las cárceles de California a más de 3.000

personas. De este modo, el Estado de California cumple con un mandato federal de reducir el hacinamiento en las prisiones un año antes de lo previs-to. Por ejemplo, en el Condado de San Diego se redujo al 16% el número de presos. De esa manera, se agranda el es-pacio en las cárceles para los delincuen-tes declarados culpables de crímenes violentos y, a su vez, se disminuyen los índices de la delincuencia. Los latinos constituyen el 40% de la población de California, y nuestras voces y experiencias deben continuar contribuyendo al esfuerzo para lograr la reforma de la justicia penal del estado. Los beneficios sociales y económicos que se derivan de alternativas bien razonadas de las políticas de encarcela-miento a gran escala beneficiarán al estado, y a todas nuestras comunidades. Delia de la Vara, vicepresidenta de NCLR en la Región de California.

Thousands of Farmworkers in California Can’t Make a Living By David Bacon - NAM At the end of the 1970s California farm workers were the highest-paid in the U.S., with the possible exception of Ha-waii’s long-unionized sugar and pineapple workers. Today their economic situation is not much different from that of their coworkers elsewhere around the coun-try. California’s agricultural laborers are trapped in jobs that pay the minimum wage and often less, and are mostly un-able to find permanent year-round work. The decline in income is apparent in three ways. The minimum wage is the current wage standard for most farm workers. They receive a tiny percentage of the retail price of the crops they pro-duce. And their living conditions reflect incomes that are at the bottom of the U.S. wage scale. In 1979 the United Farm Workers negotiated a contract with Sun World, a large citrus and grape grower. The contract’s bottom wage rate was $5.25 per hour. At the time, the minimum wage was $2.90. If the same ratio ex-isted today, with a state minimum of $9.00, farm workers would be earning the equivalent of $16.30 per hour. At the end of the 70s workers under union contracts in lettuce and wine grapes were earning even more. Today farm workers don’t make any-where near $16.00 an hour. In 2008 demographer Rick Mines conducted a survey of 120,000 migrant farm workers in California from indig-enous communities in Mexico - Mixte-cos, Triquis, Purepechas and others. “One

third of the workers earned above the minimum wage, one third reported earn-ing exactly the minimum and one third reported earning below the minimum,” he found. In other words, growers potentially were paying an illegal wage to tens of thousands of farm workers. Indigenous workers are the most recent immigrants in the state’s farm labor workforce, and the poorest, but the situation isn’t drastically different for others. The case log of California Rural Legal Assistance is an extensive history of its battles to help workers reclaim illegal, and even unpaid, wages. To raise wages absolutely, workers need to increase the share of the money paid at the supermarket checkout stand that goes into their paychecks. In recent years the price paid to workers for pick-ing a flat of strawberries, for instance, has hovered around $1.50. Each flat contains eight plastic clamshell boxes, so a worker is paid about 20¢ to fill each one. That same box sells in a supermarket for about $3.00 -- the people picking the fruit get about 6% of the price. According to UC Davis professor Philip Martin, about 28% of what con-sumers pay goes to the grower. Produce sales from Monterey County alone, one of two counties where strawberries are concentrated, total $4.4 billion. If the price of a clamshell box in-creased by 5¢ (a suggestion made by the UFW during the Watsonville strawberry organizing drive of the late 1990s), the wages of the workers would increase by

25%. Most consumers wouldn’t even notice, since the retail price normally fluctuates far more than that. Florida’s Coalition of Immokalee Workers has used this idea to negotiate an increase in the price paid for tomatoes bought by fast food chains, which then goes to the worker in the field. Low wages in the fields, however, have brutal consequences. When the grape harvest starts in the eastern Coach-ella Valley, the parking lots of small mar-kets in farm worker towns like Mecca are filled with workers sleeping in their cars. For Rafael Lopez, a farm worker from San Luis, Arizona, living in his van with his grandson, “the owners should provide a place to live since they depend on us to pick their crops. They should provide living quarters, at least something more comfortable than this.” In northern San Diego County, many strawberry pickers sleep out of doors on hillsides and in ravines. Each year the

county sheriff clears out some of their encampments, but by next season work-ers have found others. Romulo Muñoz Vasquez, living on a San Diego hillside, explains: “There isn’t enough money to pay rent, food, transportation and still have money left to send to Mexico. I fig-ured any spot under a tree would do.” Compounding the problem of low wages is the lack of work during the win-ter months. Workers have to save what they can while they have a job, to tide them over. In the strawberry towns of the Salinas Valley, the normal 10% unem-ployment rate doubles after the harvest ends in November. While some can col-lect unemployment, the estimated 53% who have no legal immigration status are barred from receiving benefits. “The fruit that brings growers the most money here is the strawberry crop,” says Oxnard picker Lucrecia Camacho, “but they pay us a wage that barely allows us to live.”

Health For All Bill Passes Senate Committee By Viji Sundaram - NAM SACRAMENTO – After hearing heart-rending testimonials from three young undocumented immigrants who have seen first hand the havoc caused by not having access to health care, the Senate Health Committee yesterday voted 7-0 to provide health care to all Californians, regardless of their immigration status. The committee also witnessed wide-ranging support from representatives of more than 30 health care, labor, education and immi-grant advocacy organizations. The vote went along party lines, with all seven Democrats on the committee supporting SB 4, the Health for All bill sponsored by Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, with the two Republicans on the committee, Senators Janet Nguyen, R-Garden Grove, and Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber, abstaining. Committee chair Sen. Edward Her-nandez, D-West Covina, said before the vote was taken that he was convinced that every immigrant in the United States de-served access to health care. California, he agreed with Lara, should take the leader-ship role in making this happen. Like Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, before him, Hernandez said he too would like to be added as a co-author to SB 4. Lara’s bill would allow low-income immigrant families in California to get regular medical care through the state’s health insurance program for low-income people called Medi-Cal (Medicaid in the rest of the nation). The bill would also allow undocumented immigrants whose

incomes are above the Medi-Cal eligibil-ity limit to purchase insurance through Covered California, the state’s online marketplace set up under the 2010 Af-fordable Care Act (ACA). Undocumented immigrants are cur-rently excluded from purchasing health care through state exchanges. Lara said he’s been working with of-ficials in Washington, D.C., on a federal waiver to allow undocumented immi-grants to purchase insurance on the state’s exchange, Covered California. If that fails, he said, a provision in his bill would al-low the state to set up a separate exchange to provide undocumented immigrants equivalent coverage. Gabriel Aguila, a health worker with Clínica Monseñor Romero in Los Angeles, testified in Spanish that he was diagnosed with diabetes six years ago and more re-cently with a tumor, and accessing health care has been a challenge. “Please reform our health care system,” he pleaded. Lara told the committee that people should not die from easily treatable ill-nesses and accidents simply because they cannot access health care. It’s “one significant area where the fed-eral government failed,” asserted Lara. Ronald Coleman, government affairs manager with the California Immigrant Policy Center, agreed, telling the com-mittee members, “You have to right this wrong.” One in 10 Californians is undocu-mented, yet undocumented immigrants generate millions of dollars for the state

economy, noted Lara. A new 50-state study out this week by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy finds that the 3.1 million undocu-mented immigrants currently living in California collectively paid $3.2 billion in state and local taxes in 2012. This repre-sents a $500 million increase over a similar report two years ago. “Investing in immigrants is investing in California,” asserted Coleman. But for the two Republicans on the committee, the question of where the bill’s funding would come from – the same question that stalled in the Senate Appropriations Committee a similar bill proposed by Lara last year – remained uncertain. Sen. Nguyen acknowledged that “our health care system has many deficiencies,” a significant one being not having enough doctors and dentists in the Medi-Cal net-work because of the state’s low reimburse-ment rate. But if the state were to pass Lara’s bill, she wondered whether Califor-nia would be able to “sustain” it financially. The bill, she said, comes with a price tag of over $1 billion, which she said would have to come out of the state’s general fund. Lara said he agreed with Nguyen that Medi-Cal doctors needed to be reim-bursed adequately. But he pointed out that SB 4, unlike SB 1005, the Health for All bill he sponsored last year, was far less cost-ly. That’s because under SB 4, no financial support from the state would be provided for people buying insurance through the exchange. He pointed out that nearly

one-third of California’s undocumented population would be able to afford to buy insurance on the marketplace without the state’s help. In addition, he said, if the suspen-sion placed by a Texas court on President Obama’s executive action to expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and launch the De-ferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program is lifted, an estimated 1.25 million undocumented immigrants in California may be eligible for work authorization and relief from deporta-tion. That would drop by half the number of uninsured immigrants in California, thereby lowering Emergency Medi-Cal spending on them, he said. The state is already spending about $1.7 billion on its Emergency Medi-Cal population. Under Lara’s bill, it would only be spending an additional 2 cents on every dollar it spends to provide compre-hensive Medi-Cal, Coleman said. SB4 is now headed to the Senate Ap-propriations Committee. If it is approved there, the full Senate will hear it. “I’m optimistic about the bill passing, especially because both Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon and Speaker of the Assembly Toni Atkins have prioritized the bill,” Lara told New America Media. Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access, the statewide health care consumer advocacy network, said he believed the bill would become law this year. “We have the wind on our backs,” he said.

There were 54 million Hispanics in the United States in 2013, comprising 17.1% of the total U.S. population. In 1980, with a population of 14.8 million, Hispanics made up just 6.5% of the total U.S. population. Read the accompanying report, “English Proficiency on the Rise Among Latinos.” Since 1960, the nation’s Latino popula-tion has increased nearly ninefold, from 6.3 million then to 54.0 million by 2013. It is projected to grow to 119 million by 2060, according to the latest projections from the U.S. Census Bureau (2014). The foreign-born Latino population has increased by more than 20 times over the past half century, from less than 1 million in 1960 to 19 million today. On the other hand, while the U.S.-born Latino popula-tion has only increased sixfold over this time period, there are nearly 30 million more U.S.-born Latinos in the U.S. today (35.0 million) than there were in 1960 (5.5 million). The share of the population that is Hispanic has been steadily increasing over the past half century. Today, Hispanics make up 17.1% of the total U.S. popula-tion, up from 3.5% in 1960. According to the latest projections from the U.S. Census Bureau (2014), the Hispanic share of the U.S. population is expected to reach 28.6% by 2060. After increasing for at least four de-cades, the share of the Hispanic population that is foreign born began declining after 2000. Among all Hispanics, the share that

was born in another country was 35.2% in 2013, down from a peak of about 40% earlier in the 2000s. The share of adult His-panics who are foreign born began declin-ing a bit later—49.3% of Hispanic adults were born in another country in 2013, down from a peak of 55.0% in 2007.Mexican-origin Hispanics have always been the largest Hispanic-origin group in the U.S. In 1860, for example, among the 155,000 Hispanics living in the U.S., 81.1% were of Mexican origin—a historic high. Since then the origins of the nation’s Hispanic population have diversified as growing numbers of immigrants from other Latin American nations and Puerto Rico settled in the U.S. For example, between 1930 and 1980, Hispanics from places other than Mexico nearly doubled their representation among U.S. Hispanics, from 22.4% to 40.6%. But with the arrival of large numbers of Mexican immigrants in the 1980s and 1990s, the Mexican share among Hispanics grew, rising to a recent peak of 65.7% in 2008. Since then it has declined slightly—to 64.1%—as Mexican migration to the U.S. has slowed Between 1980 and 2000, immigration was the main driver of Latino population growth as the Latino immigrant population boomed from 4.2 million to 14.1 million. However since 2000, the primary source of Latino population growth has swung from immigration to native births. Between 2000 and 2010, there were 9.6 million Latino births in the U.S., while the number of newly arrived immigrants was 6.5 million.

Gospel Center Rescue Mission Celebrates 75th Anniversary The Gospel Center Rescue Mission is celebrating 75 years of ministering to the homeless and addicted in San Joa-quin County by presenting the oppor-tunity for spiritual, physical and emo-tional restoration through the love of Jesus Christ. Beginning now through April of 2016 the Gospel Center Res-cue Mission will celebrate their anni-versary through a number of events. Kicking off the celebration in May of 2015, a Pastors Breakfast is being held to bring together local pastors to bring

awareness to the history and future of the organization. The finale will be an anniversary celebration in April 2016. “Many lives have been changed in the 75 years the Gospel Center Rescue Mission has been in existence. Our commitment to making a difference, not only to individuals and families, but to our entire community drives our passion to serve others,” Bill Brown, CEO, Gospel Center Rescue Mission. Currently the Gospel Center Res-cue Mission has a number of programs

focused on serving the homeless and addicted in our community. The New Life Program (NLP) is a six-month commitment that focuses on men and women as a whole person, including spiritual aspects, family, community and environment that will affect a long-term lifestyle change. The entire program takes 3 years, which helps the individuals re-enter their community through counseling, education (associ-ates degree), work, chapel and much more. Some of the other programs

offered by the Gospel Center Rescue Mission are Emergency Lodging, New Hope Family Shelter, Gleason House Medical Center and much more.

CAL WATER SERVICE’S DROUGHT RESPONSE PLAN TO BECOME EFFECTIVE JUNE 1 SAN JOSE, Calif. – California Wa-ter Service’s Schedule 14.1 filing, which establishes household and business water budgets and associated enforcement measures in order to achieve state-man-dated water use reductions necessitated by historic drought conditions, will become effective on June 1, 2015, after a 30-day review by the California Public Utilities Commission. California Water Service (Cal Water) is the largest subsid-iary of California Water Service Group (NYSE: CWT). “Our customers are being required by the state to achieve some ambitious water use reduction targets, and getting Sched-ule 14.1 in place was a necessary step. But our goal is to take a customer-first approach, and work hand-in-hand with customers to help them hit the mark,” said Martin A. Kropelnicki, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Cal Water’s Schedule 14.1 filing, which applies to both residential and non-residential customers, is responsive to Governor Brown’s emergency drought declaration and executive order requir-ing a statewide 25% reduction in urban, potable water use. It also complies with regulations adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board (Board) and the Commission to achieve that reduction by the end of February 2016. The new regulations adopted by the Board require Cal Water customers throughout California to achieve water-use reductions between 8 and 36 percent as compared to their usage in 2013. With the approval of the Schedule 14.1 filing, beginning June 1, 2015, individual customers in each Cal Water district will be given water budgets based upon their water use each month in 2013 minus the state-mandated reduction. If

a customer uses less than his or her water budget, the unused water will be carried forward, similar to rollover minutes on a cell phone plan. Water used in excess of the monthly budget will be subject to a drought sur-charge. The surcharge will be discounted for customers on Cal Water’s Low-In-come Rate Assistance (LIRA) program.To help with compliance, the customer’s monthly bill will show his or her water budget for the following month. Cus-

tomers’ water use history back to 2011 and their water budgets will also be available online at www.calwater.com beginning in June. In the short time since the Governor’s Executive Order, Cal Water has set up a centralized drought call center staffed by specially trained customer service repre-sentatives and put additional water con-servation and drought experts out in the field to help customers meet their water reduction targets.
