Casi la mitad de los encuestados aparecen en la Corte de Inmigración de Portland sin un abogado. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sin representación legal, las personas de bajos ingresos e incluso los niños no acompañados se tienen que representar a sí mismos cuando no pueden pagar por un abogado. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Esto va en contra de nuestros valores en Oregon.</span></span></div>

Los inmigrantes que están representados en el proceso de deportación tienen 15 veces más probabilidades de solicitar asistencia y 5 1/2 más probabilidades de ganar sus casos y prevalecer contra las deportaciones injustas que impiden la separación familiar en comparación con las personas no representadas.</span></span></div>

<i><br /></i>
<i>On November 6, 2018 Oregon voters overwhelmingly rejected Measure 105, an attempt to eliminate Oregon's 31 year old sanctuary law. Andrea Williams, Causa's Executive Director made the following statement.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
"The overwhelming defeat of Measure 105 has made Oregon a stronger and better state than it was before. It showed that love, fairness, and unity wins, and the politics of hate and fear ultimately lose. Oregon voters sent a loud and clear message, Trump’s radical immigration policies have no place in Oregon."<br />
<br />
"In 2014, we faced a similar ballot measure campaign. It was brought by the same anti-immigrant hate group. It was part of their same strategy to single people out because of who they are and what they look like."<br />
<br />
"Unfortunately, we learned the hard way just how organized and loud they can be. They beat us by a 32-point margin in 2014."<br />
<br />
"After that loss four years ago, we were in pain, but we were resilient. We came out of that campaign stronger, more organized and more motivated than before. We promised to never let something like that happen again."<br />
<br />
"Causa worked night and day to grow our grassroots movement through the One Oregon coalition. We knew we might have to face a similar battle again, and when we did, we were going to be ready."<br />
<br />
"So, this time around, when immigrant rights were attacked at the ballot again, we were prepared. We were battle tested. We ran a phenomenal campaign. And we won!"<br />
<br />
"We turned a 32-point margin of loss four years ago into a 25-point margin of victory in 2018. It shows how much of a difference we’ve made."<br />
<br />
"We showed that when we’re under attack, we only grow stronger, we unite, and we win"<br />
<br />
"But we still have a long way to go, there is still so much more to do to make Oregon the best, most inclusive state it can be."<br />
<br />
"We are going to keep fighting for our rights, because immigrant families still don’t have the dignity and respect they deserve. This won’t be the last time we see an attempt to strip away our rights at the ballot. And meanwhile, Trump is still pushing policies that break apart families and leave children detained."<br />
<br />
"We’ll have some announcements soon about what’s next for Causa and our coalition."<br />
<br />
"But today we celebrate. We’ve made tremendous progress, and we are only going to keep growing our movement."<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<i>Cristina Marquez, the No on 105 Campaign Manager made the follow remarks. </i><br />
<br />
"When the anti-immigrant group qualified a measure for the ballot, the first thing I thought about was my family. Their lives were on the line with Measure 105. So were the lives of my friends, my colleagues and my immigrant community."<br />
<br />
"Measure 105 was a statement by this hate group that people like me aren’t welcome here. That I wasn’t an Oregonian. And I know I wasn’t the only one who felt that way."<br />
<br />
"Then I thought about how much work we had ahead of us. I remembered how difficult it was to change hearts and minds around Measure 88 and how devastating that loss was."<br />
<br />
"I had to do something. We had to do something."<br />
<br />
"Leading this campaign was tough — I’d never run a campaign at this scale before, and I carried the weight knowing that so many people I love and care about would have been harmed if Measure 105 passed. It was a lot of responsibility, and failure wasn’t an option."<br />
<br />
"We were up against an anti-immigrant hate group. Then ICE stepped in last minute to drum up anti-immigrant sentiments. President Trump whipped up anti-immigrant fear, peddling conspiracy theories and fake policies."<br />
<br />
"It was hard. We cried, we laughed, we got drenched in wind storms. We had difficult conversations with our neighbors."<br />
<br />
"So this is what we did to win:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>We helped build one of largest and most inclusive campaign teams in Oregon history, led by people of color, women, LGBTQ folks, and immigrants and children of immigrants. </li>
<li>We grew our coalition to over 500 endorsers with everyone from law enforcement, labor, small and large businesses, advocacy organizations, and frontline communities.</li>
<li>We raised money from more than 1,500 individual donors across the state.</li>
<li>We filled more than 5,000 volunteer shifts </li>
<li>We knocked on nearly half a million doors through a unified strategy. </li>
<li>We organized volunteers everywhere from Hermiston to Bend to Eugene, Astoria, Ontario -- places all across the state."</li>
</ul>
<br />
"And most importantly, in this campaign we shared our stories of struggle and resilience and through them changed hearts and minds - showing the nation that in Oregon we believe in fairness and we welcome immigrants."<br />
<br />
"What I’m most proud about is how my family and my community came forward. My mom appeared in an ad. Even my 6-year-old sister went canvassing. This victory was a community effort. We worked night and day to change the hearts and minds of Oregonians and today we succeeded!"<br />
<br />
"We have a long way to go until immigrants have the opportunities and resources needed to thrive, but we are one big step closer, and today it makes me proud to call Oregon my home."<br />
<br />
"<a href="https://secure.everyaction.com/GCb871z97E2rO_nNSk5e-w2">Please commit to staying with us to continue this work</a>. President Trump isn’t backing down, and we can’t either. The work we’re doing now is essential. You saw how your work made a difference. We could not have done it without you. Thank you for bringing us to victory!"<br />

Causa urges the public to oppose the proposed rule by submitting comments via <a href="http://protectingimmigrantfamilies.org/">protectingimmigrantfamilies.org </a>by the December 10 deadline.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnXVilZiSFyL-4elSYWzaU41fimZ3ndcxWtSjZTJEXkR3wHM8p3YkKCVS7K3h2hvzh51BxCTkcfZVs9v-Xsfe5a3-Wgs3fn4kp1aqi1bERLe3fgQV22nOIw2ku6bR4G1xAal2xv9c7L4P/s1600/fb+public+charge+graphic.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnXVilZiSFyL-4elSYWzaU41fimZ3ndcxWtSjZTJEXkR3wHM8p3YkKCVS7K3h2hvzh51BxCTkcfZVs9v-Xsfe5a3-Wgs3fn4kp1aqi1bERLe3fgQV22nOIw2ku6bR4G1xAal2xv9c7L4P/s200/fb+public+charge+graphic.jpeg" width="200" /></a>The expansion to the so-called public charge rule would require the government to deny green cards <br />
to many lawfully present immigrants if they access benefits to cover their family’s basic needs, including SNAP benefits, Medicaid, and Section 8 housing assistance.<br />
<br />
“This rule change will push Oregonian families out of safety net programs designed to provide a lifeline during critical times. We join thousands of organizations from across the country taking a stand against this threat to the well-being of immigrants and their families.” said Erin Pettigrew of Innovation Law Lab. Pettigrew helps lead Protect Oregon’s Immigrant Families, a cross-sector coalition, including Causa, opposing the proposed change.<br />
<br />
Many categories of immigrants are exempt from public charge consideration. However, due to new, aggressive minimum income requirements, the regulation will effectively prohibit lawful immigration avenues to people with low-wage jobs. Many families, who are otherwise eligible, will avoid seeking life-saving assistance, as changes to public benefits regulations have previously resulted in a chilling effect, resulting in dramatic declines in enrollment by immigrant families in programs that protect health.<br />
<br />
Olivia Quiroz, Executive Director of Oregon Latino Health Coalition, describes how this chilling effect has begun to impact the families served by her organization in the Portland Metro area: “The fear of public charge is real to many families around the area. Recently we received a call from a Latinx family in Clackamas county. A mother who currently got her baby enrolled into a new Oregon Health Plan program fears public charge will impact her children’s healthcare coverage.”<br />
<br />
Historians have also warned that public charge regulations have been abused in the past to deny otherwise-eligible applicants access to lawful immigration avenues, based on race or religion. Because it would almost exclusively affect family-based immigrants, the Trump proposal will disproportionately affect families of color.<br />
<br />
“The Administration claims that the goal of this proposal is to promote self-sufficiency; but we know that their true intent is to sow fear in our community, causing vulnerable families to question whether it is safe to feed or house their families, whether or not the rule would affect them,” said Andrea Williams, Executive Director of Causa Oregon, adding: “time and again the Administration has converted its xenophobic rhetoric into policy by targeting immigrants of color, and this proposal is no different. We want families to know they are not alone. Everyone’s voice matters and we are fighting back.”<br />
<br />
Causa urges the public to submit comments before December 10 via <a href="http://protectingimmigrantfamilies.org/">protectingimmigrantfamilies.org</a>Causa Oregonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00470561721384460130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7719771123055525600.post-40151225311001577122018-09-24T16:59:00.001-07:002018-09-24T17:00:22.973-07:00Public Charge Proposal would Harm Immigrant Families This week, the Trump administration released<a href="https://www.protectingimmigrantfamilies.org/"> a new proposal</a> that would radically expand the definition of “Public Charge,” creating new immigration penalties for low income families who access safety net programs.<br />
<br />
Public Charge is a term the government uses now in immigration applications to describe a person who relies on cash assistance or long term institutionalization to survive. Being considered a Public Charge can result in the denial of a green card application. The new proposal would expand the application of Public Charge to impact millions more families than it does today, prioritizing wealth while punishing lower-income families who have waited for years to realize their dreams of obtaining permanent residency.<br />
<br />
Read the statement from Causa’s Executive Director, Andrea Williams:<br />
<br />
<i>“In Oregon we know that healthy families create strong communities. These proposed changes would harm immigrants living in Oregon by forcing them to choose between qualifying for a green card, and providing basic services like food, nutrition, and housing to their families. The impact could be enormous; twelve percent of Oregon’s population are US born children with at least one immigrant parent. To protect the health and well-being of all of our families, we strongly condemn the Trump administration’s harmful new proposal. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The Administration claims that the goal of this proposal is to promote self sufficiency - but we know that their true intent is to sow fear in our community, causing vulnerable families to question whether it is safe to feed or house their families, whether or not the rule would affect them. Time and again the Administration has converted its xenophobic rhetoric into policy by targeting immigrants from racial minorities, and this proposal is no different. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Causa is joining with hundreds of organizations in Oregon and throughout the country to stop this attack on Oregon families, and we’ll need your help. Soon, the public will have the chance to make comments on this harmful proposal. Join Causa and pledge to speak out against the Public Charge rule change and speak up for Oregon families.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>We want our families to know that you are not alone. Your voice matters, and there is still time to fight back.” </i><br />
<br />
Public Charge and how it affects each family is a complicated issue and it is important to get the facts before making changes in your household. Find our Quick Facts below and visit Oregon Immigration Resource to find more resources for families and providers.<br />
<br />
<b>Quick facts About Public Charge:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Public Charge does not apply to everybody. Learn how the rule applies to you.</li>
<li>Don’t give up services your family needs due to fear. Get the facts before making decisions.</li>
<li>Help is available: Contact an immigration attorney with questions about immigration options and public benefits. (Find one at oregonimmigrationresource.org/resources). Contact Oregon’s Public Benefits Hotline with questions about benefits and enrollment: (800) 520-5292.</li>
<li>The proposed rule would not apply retroactively, meaning that when and if it becomes actual policy, families will have ample time to make the best decision for themselves and their loved ones. </li>

<br />
Oregon’s long standing sanctuary law was passed almost unanimously in 1987 by both Republicans and Democrats for a very important reason: to end unfair racial profiling. The law ensures that Oregonians aren’t harassed, interrogated, or arrested simply because of the color of their skin or perceived immigration status.<br />

As Oregonians, we must come together to keep this important civil rights protection.<br />
<br />
We’re proud to be a founding member of <a href="http://orunited.org/">Oregonians United Against Profiling</a>, a growing statewide coalition of over 300 organizations, businesses, and law enforcement officials coming together to lead the No on Measure 105 campaign.<br />
of <br />
<br />
Stopping Measure 105 is a top priority for Causa. Every day, we hear more stories of immigrant families being torn apart and children being detained in immigration camps. Throwing out Oregon’s sanctuary law could turn local police into another arm of Trump’s deportation force.<br />
<br />
It’s going to take all of us to protect Oregon’s sanctuary law. As the campaign progresses, you'll hear from us more frequently about how to get involved.<br />

A broad coalition of more than 80 business, labor, faith, civil rights groups, and law enforcement leaders have formed a campaign to defeat the attempt to get rid of Oregon’s “sanctuary” law or initiative petition 22 (IP 22), should it qualify for the November ballot.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxlioFIdHM1X1ZTLmLA4Zkb8BAtBeGVOzq8jZtr_K9G42Zj-OjHruEm9YU5IqkEcj3CHdzOXYXyZjIVujaQggreBXicKgw1M65Cnb-GBBgLoDAbgLa2SGpcqpMuDY8BJ4iM0a3NRJS0QzW/s1600/OUAP+logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="1417" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxlioFIdHM1X1ZTLmLA4Zkb8BAtBeGVOzq8jZtr_K9G42Zj-OjHruEm9YU5IqkEcj3CHdzOXYXyZjIVujaQggreBXicKgw1M65Cnb-GBBgLoDAbgLa2SGpcqpMuDY8BJ4iM0a3NRJS0QzW/s200/OUAP+logo.jpg" width="200" /></a>If IP 22 does qualify, Oregonians United Against Profiling is prepared to mount an aggressive statewide campaign to defeat the measure. Backers of the repeal reported they turned in 110,000 signatures to the Secretary of State, which will now be counted and verified.<br />
<br />
Andrea Williams, executive director of Causa Oregon and a founder of the new coalition, said she worries that Oregon could become a “show me your papers” state if the law is thrown out.<br />
<br />
“Oregon’s existing ‘sanctuary’ law has been protecting Oregonians from unfair racial profiling for more than 30 years,” Williams said. “No Oregonian, including those who may be undocumented immigrants, should have to live in fear that doing basic things like going to work or school or reporting a crime to police could result in harassment or their families being torn apart.”<br />
<br />
Retired Hillsboro police chief Ron Louie said the law has helped increase trust in law enforcement, which is critical for officers who rely on community members to come to them when they are victims or witnesses of crimes.<br />
<br />
“Our Oregon law provides clear guidance to local law enforcement officers on how to handle complicated immigration issues,” Louie said. “It creates a bright line that says local police should be focused on solving local problems.”<br />
<br />
The 31-year-old “sanctuary” law clarifies and distinguishes between the roles of local and federal law enforcement related to immigration and states that Oregon police personnel, funding, equipment, and facilities cannot be used for activities that are the responsibility of federal immigration agents. The law was passed in 1987 with the near unanimous support of state Republicans and Democrats to address widespread profiling of those perceived to be undocumented immigrants and to keep local police resources focused on enforcing local laws.<br />
<br />
Civil rights leader and long-time resident of Woodburn Ramon Ramirez said he remembers what Oregon was like without the law.<br />
<br />
“Before Oregon had this law, I saw immigration agents, aided by local police, busting down doors and grabbing people off the street, with no way of knowing their immigration status,” Ramirez said. “My friends and neighbors, including U.S. citizens, were being harassed by local police demanding to see their papers. Passing this law made things a lot better. Throwing it out would turn back the clock and open the door to more profiling.”<br />
<br />
IP 22 is backed by Oregonians for Immigration Reform (OFIR) and the national group Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). Both groups have been designated “extremist hate groups” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.<br />
<br />
Groups backing Oregonians United Against Profiling include Oregon business leaders Nike, Columbia Sportswear, the Timbers and Thorns, and the Portland Business Alliance; civil rights and immigrant rights groups Causa Oregon, the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon (ACLU of Oregon), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the National Immigration Law Center; and unions including Oregon Education Association (OEA), SEIU, AFL-CIO, Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, Northwest Treeplanters and Farmworkers United (PCUN).<br />

This is a federal criminal charge, rather than a civil charge and has resulted in parents being detained and separated from their children. There is no law requiring DHS to separate families. The policy the administration has chosen constitutes a violation of international and U.S. law, as acts of torture against children and their parents which will leave scars throughout their lives.<br />
<br />
Trump and Sessions can and should stop this horrific practice immediately by dropping these federal charges against individuals and ending the prosecution of those who enter outside of the ports of entry. Indefinitely detaining families in detention camps as Trump’s newest Executive Order dictates is not a solution. It will continue the suffering of families and funnel federal money into private prisons. The Executive Order does not prohibit the separation of family or require the 2,300 children already torn from their parents to be reunited.<br />
<br />
Instead, Congress should drastically reduce funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and stop funneling funding to private prisons. Each fiscal year, ICE and CBP are given more dollars through the appropriations process. This money is used to conduct increased interior enforcement actions that have been riddled with questionable due process violations and to hold immigrants in detention centers indefinitely. Under Trump’s newest Executive Order, more detention centers for families will be necessary. Many of these detention centers operate under deplorable standards leading to sickness and in some cases even death. Congress must stop funding Trump’s detention and deportation machine.<br />
<br />
Congress Members should co-sponsor and push to pass legislation that would provide critical protection for parents and children. The following is a list of current legislation that would provide some relief for families that are being separated at the border and unable to access due process protections in the court system:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> S. 3036 (Feinstein D-CA) - Keep Families Together Act</li>
<li>H.R. 2572 (Roybal-Allard D-CA)- Protect Family Values at the Border Act</li>
<li>H.R. 5950 (Roybal-Allard D-CA) / S. 2937 (Smith D-WA) - the HELP Separated Children Act</li>
<li> H.R. 2043 (Lofgren D-CA) / S. 2468 (Hirono D-HI)- Fair Day in Court for Kids Act of 2018</li>
<li>H.R. 6135 (Nadler D-NY) and more than 190 House Democrats- Keep Families Together Act</li>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week, the federal government transferred 123 immigrants from detentions near the U.S.- Mexico Border to the federal prison in Sheridan, Oregon, part of an unprecedented contract with the federal Bureau of Prisons to hold 1,600 immigrants nationwide for ICE. Among the detainees being threatened with deportation are fathers who were forcibly separated from their children by ICE as they arrived fleeing violence in their home countries.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This news comes as the Trump Administration’s inhumane “zero tolerance” policy to detain and separate families seeking asylum is tearing children and their parents apart daily. The damage caused by this policy - children in makeshift shelters, overflowing detention centers, and human rights violations - represent a humanitarian crisis that has now hit Oregonians in our backyard. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Causa stands with the Sheridan detainees and all families who are asserting their right under U.S. and international law to seek protection from persecution</b>. We join elected leaders and partners in the grassroots, legal, and faith-based communities in condemning the inhumane practices of forced separation and detention of parents and children. We demand that the detainees be immediately granted access to legal representation and clergy visits, and that their children be accounted for and reunited with their parents without delay. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">When our immigrant communities come under attack, Oregonians respond. A rapid legal response effort is underway led by Innovation Law Lab and the Oregon chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Sheridan neighbors led by Unidos Bridging Community in Yamhill County immediately launched a community response to demand justice for families. </span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
Last week, Multnomah County took historic steps to keep Oregon's immigrant and refugee families together. On May 31, the Multnomah County Board approved $500,000 for legal aid for immigrant and refugee communities. Multnomah County's allocation matched the city of Portland's recent $500,000 investment.<br />
<br />
The $1,000,000 partnership between the city and county will start Oregon's first <a href="https://innovationlawlab.org/blog/2018/05/12/defend-everyone/">Universal Representation program.</a> The funding will create an immigration legal defense network, providing free immigration lawyers to low-income Multnomah county residents actively facing deportation.<br />
<br />
The legal defense network will ensure equitable access to justice for immigrant residents so that they can pursue relief and keep their family united. Representation makes a difference, immigrants with legal representation are three-and-a-half times more likely to prevail in their deportation cases than immigrants without a lawyer.<br />
<br />
This victory wouldn't have been possible without the participation of community members and countless organizations that made phone calls, attended forums, and testified at hearings. Special thanks to Oregon Ready coalition partners at Catholic Charities, El Programa Hispano, Immigration Counseling Services, Innovation Law Lab, IRCO, Latino Network, Immigrant Defense Oregon at MPD, SOAR, and Pueblo Unido for working with us to make this possible.<br />

Querido amigo,<br />
<br />
Me gustaría presentarles a Isidro Andrade-Tafolla y Renee Selden-Andrade, la hermosa familia presentada en este retrato que celebra las comunidades de inmigrantes en Oregon.<br />

Estamos compartiendo la historia de Isidro y Renee como parte de nuestro trabajo con el One Oregon Coalition, porque la sey santuario de 30 años de Oregón está siendo atacada por un grupo con estrechos vínculos con el movimiento anti-inmigrante.<br />

Después de emigrar a los Estados Unidos cuando era niño, Isidro asistió a Glencoe High School en Hillsboro, donde fue un jugador estrella de fútbol. Isidro fue entrenador de fútbol juvenil mientras trabajaba para el Condado de Washington durante dos décadas, dedicando su carrera al servicio de su comunidad.<br />
<br />
Isidro había llamado hogar a Oregón durante más de tres décadas, y ha sido ciudadano de los EE. UU. durante 25 años. Pero nada de eso le importaba a los agentes federales de inmigración que lo describieron racialmente fuera del tribunal del condado el año pasado.<br />
<br />
La experiencia fue aterradora y humillante para Isidro y Renee, pero se niegan a ser silenciados por el incidente. Quieren entregar un mensaje afirmativo y alentador a cada rincón de nuestro estado: Oregon es nuestro hogar, los inmigrantes son bienvenidos aquí.<br />

Lo que le sucedió a Isidro nunca le debería pasar a nadie, pero podría volver a ser algo común en Oregon. En este momento, un grupo con profundos lazos con los supremacistas blancos está recogiendo firmas para la Petición de Iniciativa 22, que busca derogar la ley de santuario de 30 años de Oregón.<br />
<br />
Creemos que detener esta medida racista será un momento decisivo para Oregon. Es hora de unir a todas nuestras comunidades para decir: rechazamos el racismo y el miedo.<br />

<b>1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: What does HB 4111 do?</b><br />
A: The bill maintains driving privileges for DACA and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders whose status has expired by allowing them to renew or replace a limited-term driver license or state ID provided that the applicant shows proper identification.<br />
<br />
<b>2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: When will HB 4111 go into effect?</b><br />
A: Starting July 1, 2018, DACA and TPS holders whose status expired can renew and replace their driver license or state ID by demonstrating the applicant’s expired work authorization document. <br />
<br />
<b>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: What type of documentation does the applicant need to show to the DMV? </b><br />
A: The applicant needs to show their most recent employment authorization document issued by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: What if my work authorization document is expired?</b><br />
A: If an applicant’s work authorization document expired on or after August 1, 2014, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will accept the documentation when renewing or replacing a license.<br />
<br />
<b>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: How long does the limited-term driver license last for?</b><br />
A: The limited-term driver license lasts for 2 years.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>6.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: How long will this law remain in effect?</b><br />
A: This law will remain in effect until December 31, 2021.<br />
<br />
<b>7.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: My DACA or TPS already expired, but I never applied for a driver license. Can I get a driver license for the first time under this new law? </b><br />
A: No, HB 4111 only applies to the renewal and replacement of a limited-term driver license or state ID. If a person’s DACA or TPS already expired and they never applied for a driver license, this law does not permit the DMV to issue a new driver license.<br />
<br />
<b>8.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: I thought DACA and TPS holders could already get a driver licenses, what difference does this bill make? </b><br />
A: Due to federal policy changes regarding DACA and TPS, some Oregonians will no longer be able to renew their status, or will experience delays in renewal. HB 4111 ensures that these individuals don’t lose their ability to drive when or if their status expires.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: My DACA or TPS status hasn’t expired, what does that mean for applying for a driver license?</b><br />
A: DACA and TPS holders whose status is current can still apply, renew, or replace their limited term driver license.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Q: What about driver’s licenses for other undocumented people? </b><br />
A: To extend driving privileges to all Oregonians regardless of citizenship status, the Oregon legislature must pass a bill to change current law. The next opportunity to advocate for driver licenses for all is during the 2019 legislative session which starts in February, 2019.<br />
<br />

A partir del 1 de julio de 2018, los titulares de DACA y TPS cuyo estatus expiró pueden renovar y reemplazar su licencia de conducir o identificación estatal al demostrar el documento de autorización de trabajo vencido del solicitante.<br />
<br />
<b>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>¿Qué tipo de documentación necesita el solicitante mostrar al DMV?</b><br />
El solicitante debe mostrar su documento de autorización de empleo más reciente emitido por los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS).<br />
<br />
<b>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>¿Qué pasa si mi documento de autorización de trabajo está vencido?</b><br />
Si el documento de autorización de trabajo de un solicitante expiró en o después del 1 de agosto de 2014, el Departamento de Vehículos Motorizados (DMV) aceptará la documentación al renovar o reemplazar una licencia.<br />
<br />
<b>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>¿Cuánto dura la licencia de conducir de plazo limitado?</b><br />
La licencia de conducir de duración limitada tiene una duración de 2 años.<br />
<br />
<b>6.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>¿Cuánto tiempo esta ley permanecerá vigente?</b><br />
Esta ley permanecerá vigente hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2021.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mi DACA o TPS ya expiró, pero nunca solicité una licencia de conducir. ¿Puedo obtener una licencia de conducir por primera vez bajo esta nueva ley?</b><br />
No, HB 4111 solo se aplica a la renovación y reemplazo de una licencia de conducir de duración limitada o una identificación estatal. Si el DACA o TPS de una persona ya expiró y nunca solicitaron una licencia de conducir, esta ley no permite que el DMV emita una nueva licencia de conducir.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>8.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Pensé que los titulares de DACA y TPS ya podían obtener licencias de conducir, ¿qué diferencia hace esta factura?</b><br />
Debido a cambios en la política federal con respecto a DACA y TPS, algunos residentes de Oregón ya no podrán renovar su estatus o experimentarán retrasos en la renovación. HB 4111 asegura que estas personas no pierdan su capacidad de conducir cuando su estado expira o si.<br />
<br />
<b>9.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mi DACA o TPS no ha expirado, ¿qué significa eso para solicitar una licencia de conducir?</b><br />
Los titulares de DACA y TPS cuyo estatus es actual aún pueden aplicar, renovar o reemplazar su licencia de conducir de plazo limitado.<br />
<br />
<b>10.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>¿Qué pasa con las licencias de conducir para otras personas indocumentadas?</b><br />
Para extender los privilegios de conducir a todos los habitantes de Oregón sin importar su estado de ciudadanía, la legislatura de Oregon debe aprobar un proyecto de ley para cambiar la ley actual. La próxima oportunidad para abogar por licencias de conducir para todos es durante la sesión legislativa de 2019 que comienza en febrero de 2019.<br />

<br />
HB 4111A permitiría que el DMV renovar y reemplazar una licencia de conducir de plazo limitado (2 años) para los beneficiarios de DACA y TPS cuyo estado legal haya expirado debido a cambios en la política de inmigración federal. Los titulares de DACA y TPS demostraron buena fe cuando cada solicitante solicitó un alivio, pagó una tarifa gubernamental y se sometió a rigurosas verificaciones de antecedentes.<br />
<br />
La protección legal de algunos beneficiarios de DACA y TPS caducará debido a cambios en la política de inmigración. El 5 de septiembre de 2017, el presidente Trump terminó abruptamente con DACA, y en enero de 2018, también finalizó el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS) para los salvadoreños, entre otros países vulnerables. La aprobación de cualquier legislación federal sigue siendo incierta porque el Congreso no ha llegado a un acuerdo bipartidista. Como resultado, el gobierno federal ha dejado a miles de oregonianos en el limbo. Hay 11,000 beneficiarios de DACA y casi 1,000 titulares de TPS en Oregon. La imposibilidad de renovar su estado también habría evitado que estos residentes de Oregón renueven su licencia de conducir estatal.<br />
<br />
"Este proyecto de ley otorga a los beneficiarios de DACA y TPS un grado de certeza en un momento en que gran parte de la política de inmigración federal sigue siendo incierta", dijo Andrea Williams, directora ejecutiva de Causa. "Los legisladores de Oregón dieron un paso en la dirección correcta, y tenemos más por hacer. Causa se compromete a aprobar licencias de conducir para todos, para que las familias inmigrantes de Oregón puedan conducir a sus hijos de forma segura a citas médicas, ir a trabajar o comprar mandado sin temor a ser deportados ".<br />

HB 4111A pasó con apoyo bipartidista y ahora se dirige al escritorio del gobernador para su firma.Causa Oregonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00470561721384460130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7719771123055525600.post-4199893762408100042018-03-05T16:17:00.000-08:002018-03-05T16:17:16.621-08:00Causa Applauds Oregon Legislature for Addressing Driver Licenses for DACA and TPS RecipientsCausa applauds the Oregon legislature for passing HB 4111A, maintaining driving privileges for Oregon's DACA recipients and TPS holders by permitting a person to use expired documentation to renew or replace a driver license.<br />
<br />
HB 4111A would allow the DMV to renew and replace a limited term (2 year) driver’s license for DACA and TPS recipients whose legal status has expired due to changes in federal immigration policy. DACA and TPS holders demonstrated good faith when each applicant applied for relief, paid a significant government fee, and underwent rigorous background checks.<br />
<br />
Some DACA and TPS recipients’ legal protection will lapse due to changes in immigration policy. On September 5, 2017 President Trump abruptly ended DACA, and in January 2018, he also ended Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for El Salvadorans, among other vulnerable countries. Passage of any federal legislation remains uncertain because Congress has failed to come to bipartisan agreement. As a result, the federal government has left thousands of Oregonians in limbo. There are 11,000 DACA recipients and nearly 1,000 TPS holders in Oregon. The inability to renew their status would have also prevented these Oregonians from renewing their state driver license.<br />
<br />
“This bill gives DACA and TPS recipients a degree of certainty in a time when so much of federal immigration policy remains uncertain,” said Andrea Williams, Causa’s Executive Director. “Oregon legislators took a step in the right direction, and we have more to do. Causa is committed to passing driver licenses for all, so that Oregon’s immigrant families can safely drive their kids to doctor’s appointments, go to work, and get groceries without fear of deportation.”<br />
<br />
HB 4111A passed with bipartisan support and now heads to the Governor’s desk for signing.<br />

Jan. 9th, 2018, a Federal District Court judge in California issued an order
mandating that USCIS resume accepting DACA applications for most individuals

terms in place before it was rescinded on Sept. 5, 2017. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
