Two Million Undocumented Migrants Deported Under Obama

[Lily Briscoe]

The rainforests around Forks, a small town in Washington state, have long attracted hunters and fishermen, but beginning in 2008, this lush, remote landscape acquired a new breed of pursuer and prey.

That year, Border Patrol agents started targeting undocumented Latinos who lived in the town and worked in the woods, collecting mushrooms and salal, a shrub used by florists.


The agents set up roadblocks, tailed vehicles and trekked through the forests, sometimes disguising themselves as hunters, in a tense – and, eventually, lethal – game of cat-and-mouse.


Not all the Latinos living in Forks at the time were undocumented, but dread still gripped much of the community, which represented about a third of Forks' population of 3,500. To avoid “la migra”, they kept watch for patrols, shopped at night and minimised contact with schools, police or anything official.


On May 14 2011, a Forest Service officer stopped Benjamin Roldan Salinas and his partner, Crisanta Ramos, in their truck after a day collecting salal. They showed their permit. But minutes later, to their horror, a Border Patrol vehicle arrived. Ostensibly the agents had come to help translate, but according to activists, it was a familiar case of the Border Patrol using local enforcement agencies as extra sets of eyes and ears.


The couple bolted into the woods. One agent ran down Ramos and handcuffed her. Salinas vanished into the Sol Duc river. Every day for three weeks, neighbours and friends searched for him. On June 5, they found his body, snagged on an object in the river.


“He died in the water. My husband died in the water,” said Ramos last week, cradling the youngest of her three children and sobbing as she recalled the day. “He ran because he knew what would happen.”


If he’d been caught, Roldan Salinas would have been detained with hundreds of other undocumented Latinos, before being sent to Mexico to become one of the estimated 2m people deported under Barack Obama.



That 2m milestone, which activist groups say was hit in recent weeks, is a figure that far outstrips what was done under previous administrations, and it has stoked anger in the Latino community and earned Obama the sobriquet “deporter-in-chief”. Last year alone, 369,000 undocumented migrants were deported, a ninefold increase from 20 years ago.


The president, who's been hurt by criticism he's received on the issue, has ordered deportation to be “more humanely” enforced. But without executive action or legislative immigration reform, mass banishments will continue.


This article is the first in a three-part series showing how the journey from south to north, a migration which changed the face of the US, is being reversed. A trajectory, which once seemed as inexorable as gravity, is now moving in the opposite direction, from north to south. The backward trek begins in the rainy mists of Washington state, passes through detention centres and deportation transports, and ends in the baked concrete of Tijuana.


The flow does not discriminate between people who crossed the border only recently and those who came over decades ago, raised families here and consider themselves American.


Forks, a depressed logging town near the tip of the Olympic peninsula, is an unlikely magnet for Hispanics. A four-hour car and ferry ride from Seattle, bounded on the west by the Pacific, it tends to be cold and wet. Logging's decline made property cheap, however, and in the 1990s, Mexicans and Guatemalans began moving here to work in the woods. A skilled salal picker can earn about $90 daily.


“They're good workers. Do the work white people aren't willing to do anymore,” said Hop Dhooghe, 75, who sells salal and other forest products. “If you didn't have Latinos here your grocery store wouldn't have an apple in it.” He has joined an organization called the Forks Human Rights Group to oppose deportations.


Estanislao Matias, a 24-year-old from Guatemala, paid smugglers $3,500 that he’d borrowed – an enormous sum for him – to join siblings here in 2009. “In our imagination we think of the marvels awaiting us,” he said. “That's why we risk everything to come. Then I saw how hard it was, that I'd be working in rain and hail.”


Worse, he encountered a sense of siege. “It was like a horror movie. People peeking out of windows, afraid to go out.”


Matias was 3,000 miles from Guatemala and 1,300 miles from the Mexican border, his desert crossing already a memory, but he was 60 miles from a border crossing from Canada, putting him within the Border Patrol's 100-mile jurisdiction into the US interior – and an unprecedented crackdown.


Back in 1994, the nationwide force had 4,000 agents. To deter the influx from Mexico it increased to 8,500 by 2001. After 9/11 it was folded into US Customs and Border Protection, a part of the Department of Homeland Security. The number of agents in green, who have distinct uniforms and roles from other CBP colleagues, expanded to 23,000, one of the biggest federal forces.


A Senate bill last year proposed expanding it further, to 40,000.
With this surge, huge resources were directed to the sleepy northern border, and the Border Patrol’s green uniformed agents were sent into rural communities across Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota and New York, where they had seldom been seen before. A guard post with four agents in Port Angeles, which covers Washington state’s Olympic peninsula, morphed into a new, 19,000 sq ft facility with more than 40 agents.


Apart from the cost, there was just one problem with the addition of all these new agents: they had, according to one of them, “nothing to do.”


"During our work shifts, other agents and I always talked about how coming to work was like the black hole, swallowing us up slowly with no purpose, no mission," Christian Sanchez, a Border Patrol officer who was stationed at Port Angeles from 2009 to 2012, told a forum in Washington, DC.


Agents spent so much time driving around the peninsula that they nicknamed it the “Baja 500”, after the car race, he said.


Bored and frustrated, and under pressure to meet job performance metrics measured in numbers of arrests, they targeted undocumented Latinos in Forks, stopping them on the highway, following them home, following them in forests, grocery stores, the town hall.


“There were Border Patrol vehicles everywhere, following each other around like little herds,” said the mayor, Bryon Monohon. “They had no clear idea what they were supposed to do and were just pulling people off the street. It was creepy.”


A study by the Forks Human Rights Group – which is comprised of local Latinos, activists and social service providers – and students at the Ronald Peterson Law Clinic at Seattle University School of Law documented intimidation and harassment in hundreds of encounters.


“These include maintaining a threatening presence in the community, conspicuously following and watching people, bullying, damaging personal property, driving aggressively, harassing, and retaliating against advocates and family members,” the report said.


Almost every Latino left in Forks has a story. “When you see them coming up behind you it's like the devil is following you,” said Matias, the Guatemalan. One pre-dawn morning, he recalled, two Border Patrol vehicles suddenly appeared and sandwiched him and others as they drove to work.



He fled on foot. “It was so dark and icy I couldn't see anything, I was running into trees. I got away but afterwards I was trembling and crying.”


Roldan Salinas, who drowned, left Ramos, now 30, to bring up three young children alone. “I feel so alone. Benjamin was a good man and a good father.”


The children are US citizens, and after the tragedy Ramos was granted provisional permission to stay. But she feels haunted. Six days a week she is out working from 7am to 7pm, without her partner to help carry backbreaking loads. “I tell the children to study hard so they won't suffer like I have suffered.”


The outcry over Roldan Salinas's death – it made news in Mexico - appeared to chasten the Border Patrol. Intimidation and arrests have dwindled over the past year, said activists. The agency settled a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project by agreeing, among other things, to enhance training in fourth amendment protections and to stop doubling up as translators for Forest Service stops.


It was a victory, said Doug Honig, spokesman for the ACLU's Seattle office, but a local one, and Border Patrol overreach stretched around the US.



“Most Americans are shocked when they learn that Border Patrol assertion of authority extends to 100 miles from the border.”


Customs and Border Protection’s main office in Washington DC did not respond to requests for comment.


Forks is not celebrating. “The mood remains edgy,” said Lesley Hoare, an activist with the Forks Human Rights Group. About half of the Latino community has fled south, beyond the Border Patrol’s reach, draining money and vibrancy from agriculture, trailer parks, schools and stores.


“It's hurt my business. Most of my workers are gone,” lamented Dhooghe, who now fills just 100 boxes of salal daily, down from 500.


Apart from Ramos, a widow, the biggest losers are the dozens of families who had members – typically male, adult breadwinners – deported, often with no notification to family, said Monohon, the mayor, who also teaches at the local high school. “We had kids in school saying: ‘Daddy didn't come home last night.’”


Sofia Garcia Morelos, 33, is among those left to raise a child alone. The Border Patrol nabbed her partner while they picked mushrooms in 2011. “I cried and cried when they took him.” The blow was emotional and financial.



His income gone, she parsed her own meagre takings to help him in a detention centre in Tacoma, south of Seattle, and then in Tijuana, Mexico, where he ended up marooned. They have since quarelled over the phone.



Neither she nor their son have documents to visit him. They don't expect to see him again. “He can't get back.”

2 million of our sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, abused. Torn from their homes and families, sent back to the misery they escaped from. A crime against the working people, against their human rights. Yet this same exploiter champions himself, and his greedy capitalist party, as the saviour of the very people he is betraying. Still, the people are fooled. The many pro-immigration rallies I attend where they call for the people to beg these bourgeois pieces of sh*t to allow them to simply stay in their homes. If only these strong resisting masses would take the offensive against the oppressers, and demonstrate that we will not allow them to rob from the people their right to well being.

I thought this:

The president, who's been hurt by criticism he's received on the issue, has ordered deportation to be “more humanely” enforced.

...was one of the most mind-numbingly cynical things I've heard or read recently (not that it isn't also completely typical).

Anyway, just so I'm not reproducing that article uncritically, I should probably emphasize that it's from The Guardian, so that's the slant and it comes through in a couple places (e.g. the 'sympathetic' small businessman lamenting the deportations because undocumented migrants are "good workers" + related stuff about suffering economic vitality; "executive action" and "legislative immigration reform" as the course of action against mass deportations; the sympathetic interview with some border thug complaining about being "bored and frustrated" on the job because 'there's no purpose', which is presented as a significant reason why border patrol is terrorizing and intimidating immigrants like that isn't precisely what their 'purpose' is... etc.).

But as long as you don't just read shit uncritically, it's a pretty decent article IMO and also pretty topical considering recent stuff going on at the ICE detainment center in Tacoma

Los Angeles Unified School District Board backs call to stop deportations!

By staff



Los Angeles, CA - On April 8, the Los Angeles Unified School District Board (LAUSD) passed a unanimous resolution calling on President Obama to use federal administrative action to suspend any further deportations. The resolution, introduced by LAUSD board member Bennett Kayser, is part of the growing Protect Our Families Campaign that has already gotten several resolutions passed by the city councils in Los Angeles, Carson, Santa Ana and Cudahy. Similar resolutions have also been approved by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the City Council of Berkeley and in Chicago, Illinois.

Board Member Bennett Kayser stated, “We have a broken immigration system that is harming families and children in this school district. On their behalf, I authored this motion calling on President Obama to immediately cease the deportations that are separating parents from their children.” LAUSD is the second largest public school district in the nation, with over 650,000 students. 70% are Latino of Mexican origin. Bennett Kayser is a strong advocate of public education and has fought against attempts by the privatization movement to take over LAUSD and attack the teachers union.

A key speaker in support of the school board resolution was Los Angeles City Council Member Gil Cedillo, who spearheaded the resolution.

The members of the Protect Our Families-Save the Children Campaign include Father Richard Estrada of Jovenes Inc., Angela Sanbrano of CARECEN, Armando Vázquez-Ramos of California-México Studies Center, and Nativo Lopez of Hermandad Mexicana. They urge the public to participate and be present at future presentations to protect migrant families.

Carlos Montes was present in the crowd to show solidarity and invite all to participate in the May 1 march and rally in Los Angeles, calling for Legalization for All and to Stop the Deportations. The march starts at 4:00 p.m. at Olympic and Broadway in downtown Los Angeles.

No offense, ckaihatsu, but I didn't make this thread to be another ckaihatsu activist article dump (surely one of the 5 million threads you have created for exactly that purpose would be a more appropriate place to post stuff like that?). I posted the article in the OP because I thought it did a pretty good job of explaining the situation facing a lot of undocumented immigrants in Western Washington within the jurisdiction of the border patrol. The articles you post (again, no offense) seem to consist overwhelmingly of shitty activist platitudes which offer no understanding of anything at all, and it seems kind of rude to just spam that stuff all over the place.

Yeah, my regular impulse is to say 'None taken' in reply, but that doesn't quite apply here....

Instead of 'article dump' think 'news update'. Thanks.

[sixdollarchampagne]

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but the terrible situation faced by undocumented workers now is yet another indication that supporting the Democrats emphatically does not represent a solution for working people. The two million deportations under the current Democratic administration must represent a record number, that obviously means a great deal of human suffering. Thanks to Strix, from the upper Northwest, for posting the initial article and making this discussion possible.

[willwinall]

The immigration issue is always problematic but criticism should also be given to the countries and governments the immigrants come from, because obviously they are not coming from a utopia if they are desperate enough to leave everything behind and start a new life. I would know I am an immigrant.

[Lily Briscoe]

The article in the OP was part one in a series a three articles, which have all been put out now. In case anyone is interested:

Part Two - 'Detained in Washington'

Part Three - 'Stuck in Tijuana Hoping for a Miracle: The Deportees with Nowhere to Go'

How Change Happens: The Immigration Uprising

http://truth-out.org/news/item/22712...ation-uprising

Tampa forum demands “Legalization for all, stop the deportations”

By staff



Tampa, FL - Over two dozen activists attended a panel discussion here, at the University of South Florida in Tampa. " Legalization for all, stop the deportations!" read the banner at the front of the room. Professor Masao Suzuki of San Jose, California, an economist and expert on immigration, was the guest speaker.

Professor Suzuki began the immigration panel with a report on what is happening across the country with immigration. In 2006, the House of Representatives passed the Sensenbrenner Bill, a big attack upon undocumented immigrants. The bill contained harsh consequences for being undocumented, like a mandatory $3000 fine before being deported. Also, the bill had a felony charge and up to three years in prison for friends, family members or good Samaritans housing or aiding undocumented immigrants. The reactionary Sensenbrenner bill sparked the largest marches in U.S. history, with millions upon millions of immigrants and their supporters taking to the streets of every city, big and small. This became known as the Mega-marches of May Day 2006.

Suzuki spoke about the January 2013 Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR), which was supposed to help immigrants but took a turn for the worse. The Republicans changed it, adding more and more repressive measures, until there was more bad than good in it for the people. The current CIR bill adds more militarization at the border, more stalking at the workplace thru E-verify, more abuse of immigrant workers with the Guest-Worker Visa, an extreme wait of ten years to apply, and higher cost to immigrants.

"Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are interested in the passing of CIR at this time. And that is why we are urging those who support CIR to join forces with those pushing to put a stop to the deportations and those who are urging for Deferred Action for All, or DAFA," says Suzuki. "Not only would DAFA be an immediate relief, it would help stop the over 1100 daily deportations."

The professor continued, “The executive order of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [DACA] in June of 2012 allowed for some young DREAMers to have immediate relief from being deported. If DAFA was issued to the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants, DACA could be an all-inclusive sigh of relief for the undocumented."

Professor Suzuki ended his presentation saying, “But we know that DACA currently isn't applicable to all DREAMers and we know that because of the current criminalizing of the undocumented, many don't qualify. If DAFA were to be ordered by President Obama, we also know not everyone would be able to obtain DAFA. That is why we push not only for DAFA but also for legalization for all of the undocumented."

Veronica Juarez spoke next about the tuition equity campaign of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in Florida. Tampa Bay SDS joined other chapters to organize for in-state tuition for the undocumented students of Florida. As it currently stands, undocumented Florida students pay 3.3 times as much as other students they went to high school with. SDS organized call-in days, campus speakouts and a big rally in the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee demanding politicians take action and make education affordable and fair.

"It wasn't until we started having rallies, speak-outs and actually organizing affected students that we saw bills like Senate Bill 1400,” says Veronica Juarez of Tampa SDS.

SB 1400 allows a DACA student to pay the same tuition rate as all other resident students of Florida. SB 1400 is well on its way and moving forward, having already passed the Judiciary portion needed to come into effect.

Juarez pointed out two glaring problems, "The thing is, even though SB 1400 would make tuition more affordable for undocumented students, two bad amendments were sneaked into the law; the first being that the student would on paper, still not be a ‘resident of Florida’ and the second is that a student would have to be enrolled in a Florida high school for 24 consecutive months. This means DACA students who are migrant farm-workers would be most affected. Migrant families are forced to move with the changing crop seasons across the U.S."

Marisol Marquez of Raíces en Tampa rounded out the immigration panel saying, "In Florida we saw that the majority of deportations involved the police using driving without a license as an excuse to detain and eventually deport. We wanted to help stop deportations and knew that if we pushed for Florida to issue drivers licenses to all of the undocumented, we could help."

Raíces en Tampa is working to unite with other groups around Florida and create a buzz about driver's licenses for the undocumented. Raíces en Tampa created a campaign page called Driver's Licenses for All Undocumented - Florida and is seeing a building movement around Florida.

"We take a table and place it where we know there will be people interested. We walk around and ask people to come show their support!" says Marquez, describing how Raíces en Tampa has been able to go viral in the immigrant areas of Florida. "The people want to be able to drive without looking behind their shoulder and without fearing they will be torn away from the years they have put into trying to create a life for themselves in Florida."

The organizing in the Tampa community is a completely new experience for some. "As an undocumented individual, being with Raíces en Tampa gives me not only a sense of identity, but the strength to continue fighting for everyone's dreams,” says Cristian Cintora, one of the newest members of Raíces en Tampa.

Those in attendance were able to pick up free literature, buttons, information and even know-your-rights pamphlets from various groups including: Tampa Bay SDS, Raíces en Tampa, and Freedom Road Socialist Organization. Activists gathered for a picture and held up the banner, "Legalization for all, stop the deportations!"

Marquez finished the event, announcing, "Future actions for Raíces en Tampa include coordinating May Day events in many cities to call for a stop to deportations, legalization for all, and for Florida politicians to issue driver's licenses to all of the undocumented. We hope everyone can come out or show their support by signing our petition."

Florida Sen. Negron blocking tuition equality, SDS calls emergency protests

By Gage Lacharite

Tallahassee, FL - On April 14, Senator Joe Negron released a statement announcing he is blocking SB 1400. SB 1400 is a bill in the Florida legislature to provide in-state tuition for undocumented students who attend high school in Florida. Negron is blocking the Appropriations Committee from hearing the bill before the end of legislative session. The Appropriations Committee is the third and final committee that SB 1400 needs to pass through before a full Senate vote. However, a motion can still be made within the Senate to call a vote of the bill on the floor.

The bill has bipartisan support and great momentum behind it. The bill passed through the Florida House of Representatives as HB 851, with a vote of 81-33. Then SB 1400 passed through both the Education and Judiciary committees with votes of 5-4 and 7-2 respectively. Governor Rick Scott supports tuition equity and is prepared to sign the bill into law. The problem now is Negron.

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) is leading a campaign, with support on every campus, to demand in-state tuition for undocumented Florida students. SDS is spearheading the national Education for All campaign, and supports the Legalization for All movement to improve the lives of Dreamers and their parents and families.

Students for a Democratic Society is organizing a call-in April 18 to Senator Jack Latvala. Please call Senator Latvala at 727-793-2797, and demand that he opts to save Senate Bill 1400 that will grant access to higher education for thousands of Florida undocumented students.

Students will also be meeting with Senator Don Gaetz, president of the senate, at the capitol on April 21 to dissuade him from attempts to block moving the bill to the Senate floor.

Goddamn ckhaistu. Good job on shitting spam all over a good thread. Almost nobody likes your "contributions" your confusing writing style, the way you quote, your spammy liberal activism nor your graphs/charts. Why can't you get this through your thick fucking skull?
Can we start again and trash irrelevant post (which, after ckhaistus, would include this).

On the anniversary of Cesar's passing many risk arrest to support a vote on immigration reform



Rally & March!
"I harvest for 10 hours a day.
Can you take 10 minutes to
schedule a vote?"

Thursday, April 24th, at 10:30 a.m. PST
Beach Park: 3400 21st St.,
Bakersfield, CA 93301
#iHarvest #TimeIsNow

CAN'T BE THERE? WATCH IT LIVE @
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ufwchannel
and participate virtually by Taking Action NOW!



http://action.ufw.org/ir414

Today as we commemorate the 21st anniversary of the passing of Cessar Chavez we are camping out in front of Rep. McCarthy's office asking him to call for a vote on immigration reform.

Tomorrow we will be marching with hundreds of farm workers.

Can you join us either by participating in tomorrow's march or virtually by taking action now?

Background:

The anniversary of Cesar's April 23 passing marked 300 days since the US Senate voted in favor of a truly bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill that calls for a roadmap to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the country. Since that time, the House of Representatives has failed to call a vote on this issue because Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and others have been doing everything they can to block immigration reform.

We believe there are enough House votes to pass immigration reform and that a majority are prepared to vote for comprehensive immigration reform legislation. Because of this, House Minority Leader Pelosi recently introduced a legislative move called a "Discharge Petition" or more simply a "Demand a Vote Petition". If 218 Members of Congress sign on to the Discharge Petition, we can break through the partisan gridlock that is silencing the majority of Members in the House of Representatives who want to pass reform. We can get then get the immigration bill onto the floor for a vote — with or without Speaker Boehner’s say-so.

The House bill, HR 15, is currently the only tangible option to fix our nation's broken immigration system. If your Representative would sign on to the Discharge Petition as well, we could get closer to a vote. Our immigrant families and our nation's agricultural community won't accept more excuses. Doing nothing is not an option.

Hundreds of people -- mainly San Joaquin Valley farm workers -- will make their voices heard by rallying in front of Representative Kevin McCarthy's (R-Bakersfield) office. Rep. McCarthy is the House Majority Whip and a top Republican leader in Congress. His Bakersfield district represents one of the largest agricultural areas in the nation. It's time to call on Rep. McCarthy to take leadership on this issue that affects so many in his district by signing onto this Discharge Petition and allowing a vote instead of hiding in the background while the House does nothing.

Be part of the action. Join them virtually by sending an email to your Representative and Rep. McCarthy today.
