A ragged, growing army of migrants resumes march toward US
Migrants marching north Sunday said they gave up on Mexico because the application process was too slow, and most wanted to continue to the United States anyway.There should be the death penalty for illegal aliens who are deported and come back.
“We’re warriors, we got to get to the place we got to get to. We’re gonna keep on going and we’re not gonna stop,” Luis Puerto, 39, of Colon, Honduras, said in English.
For Puerto, that place is North Carolina, where he has a wife and two daughters. He said he was recently deported from the United States after a brush with the law that he did not specify.
“We are going to get to the border of the U.S.,” he said. “I am not going to stop. I don’t care if I die.”

California Today : Where one in every two children has a foreign-born parent.
California’s family physicians are warning federal officials that a proposed change in immigration rules will put public health at risk because it weakens “herd” immunity, especially in the Golden State where one in every two children has a foreign-born parent.Imagine that.
The Trump administration on Wednesday proposed changes to a federal rule that, immigration experts say, creates ambiguity about what it means to be an immigrant who depends on the government for their support. In the parlance of immigration, such a person is called a “public charge,” and getting saddled with that label can ruin a shot at permanent U.S. residency for many immigrants.
“The new rule would make it difficult for any temporary visitor to adjust his or her status to get a green card if he or she had lawfully or otherwise used health and other public benefits,” said Kevin Johnson, the dean of the King Hall law school at UC Davis. “Immigrant rights advocates fear that it will discourage all non-citizens from using public benefits, even ones they are lawfully entitled to.”

Union comes out against commercial-rent-control bill. Powerful groups are on both sides of the proposal to give tenants the right to a lease renewal and arbitration.
A large service workers union plans to testify against the City Council's commercial-rent-control bill next week.Imagine that!
The legislation would give commercial tenants the right to a lease renewal, and, if a tenant and landlord can't agree on a price, arbitration would be used to set the rent. The proposed legislation is coming up for what is sure to be a raucous hearing Monday. The measure is intended to help small-business owners, but the union umbrella group, 32BJ, said that it opposes the measure because it would help corporate tenants, lead to dwindling income for building owners, who then might be dissuaded from hiring union workers.
"It would be a terrible unintended consequence of this bill if restrictions on commercial rents were to stand in the way of workers unionizing," Denis Johnson, vice president of 32BJ, said in a statement.
The union, which counts janitors, security officers, window cleaners, doormen and porters among its members, joins an unlikely roster of allies, led by the Real Estate Board of New York, lining up against the measure. Numerous commercial brokerages; groups representing multifamily-home, co-op and condo owners; business improvement districts; and a trade group representing affordable-housing developers are among those who plan to testify in opposition to the bill, according to the board. In general, the groups believe the legislation would take away landlords' rights to choose tenants and negotiate rents. But their foes are amassing powerful political forces of their own.
