LET THEM WORK WITH HONG KONG
FIRST.
TO IMMIGRATION.
SAN FRANCISCO AND SANTA CLARA
COUNTY FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYING
THE GOVERNMENT'S MOVE TO DENY
GREEN CARDS TO IMMIGRANTS WHO
USE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
IS UNLAWFUL.
THOUGHTS WERE ARE FIRED INTO A
SAN ANTONIO I.C.E. OFFICE
YESTERDAY.
JOINING ME IS ANTONIO GARZA.
I WOULD ASK YOU FIRST ABOUT THE
LAWS THAT -- THE CHANGES BEING
PROPOSED BY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
WHAT IMPACT DO YOU THINK THAT
WOULD HAVE ON PEOPLE THINKING
ABOUT OR TRYING TO COME HERE?
WHAT MESSAGE DOES IT SEND?
AND DOES IT HAVE A PRONOUNCED
IMPACT.
>> I THINK IT HAS A POTENTIAL TO
HAVE A PRONOUNCED IMPACT
DEPENDING ON HOW YOU INTERPRET
PUBLIC CHARGE.
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT FROM THE
STANDPOINT OF PEOPLE SEEKING
ACCESS TO THE COUNTRY AND HOW
WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE
DETERMINED TO ULTIMATELY PERHAPS
THE PUBLIC CHARGE WILL BE
DETERMINED AS CRITICAL.
WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT ARE
GOING TO GO INTO DETERMINING
WHETHER OR NOT THE PERSON IF
ADMITTED WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
PUBLIC SERVICES.
THAT'S VERY SUBJECTIVE.
OTHER ASPECT IS THOSE PEOPLE
ALREADY IN THE COUNTRY THAT MAY
SEEK PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS.
THERE HOW YOU LOOK AT PUBLIC
CHARGE.
IS IT A MAJORITY OF THEIR
BENEFITS ARE SNUB OR IS IT A
SMALL PERCENTAGE?
IF I'M EARNING 95% OF MY SUPPORT
AND A SMALL PERCENTAGE IS COMING
FROM THE PUBLIC.
IT'S BEING CHALLENGED LARGELY
THE CHANGE IN THE RULE AND HOW
IT WILL BE INTERPRETED.
MELISSA: THE DEVIL IS IN THE
DETAILS.
GERMANY DOES THIS ALREADY.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LANGUAGE TEST
AND PROVE YOU CAN SUPPORT
YOURSELF AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE
ALREADY PURCHASED HEALTH
INSURANCE TO STAY.
HERE IT MANY GREETED OUTRAGE.
LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THIS
SITUATION IN SAN ANTONIO WHERE
THEY ARE FIRING AT THE I.C.E.
AGENTS THERE.
IS IT A MORE DANGEROUS TIME TO
WORK FOR I.C.E. AND BORDER
PATROL OR ARE WE JUST MORE
FOCUSED ON WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> IT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OF
BOTH.
I GROUP ALONG THE SOUTHERN
TBHOARD TEXAS AND HAVE KNOWNS
ICE AGENTS AND BORED AND CUSTOMS
PATROL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT MY LIFE
AND REALIZE THEY DO IMPORTANT
AND DIFFICULT WORK.
SHOTS BEING FIRED INTO THE
I.C.E. AGENCY.
14th FLOOR, 3:00 IN THE
MORNING.
WHETHER IT WAS DIRECT AT I.C.E.
OR SHOTS BEING FIRED IN THE
NIGHT, IN EITHER CASE IT'S NOT
ACCEPTABLE.
I'M GLAD TO SEE THE FBI IS ON IT
AGGRESSIVELY.
I THINK THEY HAVE SOMEBODY IN
CUSTODY AND THEY WILL PURSUE
THIS AND PROSECUTE IT IF
THAT'S -- IF THEY CAN BUILD A
CASE IT'S TOUGH WORK, PERHAPS A
BIT MORE VISIBLE NOW BECAUSE OF
THE DISCUSSIONS WE ARE HAVING ON
IMMIGRATION.
BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN TOUGH WORK.
MELISSA: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
THE EMPLOYEES AT GOOGLE WHO ARE
FURIOUS WITH THEIR COMPANY AND
DON'T WANT THE COMPANY TO BID
UPON CLOUD SERVICES IT FOLLOWS A
PATTERN OF EMPLOYEES DOING
FURIOUS WITH THEIR COMPANIES FOR
DOING BUSINESS WITH BORDER
PATROL OR ANY IMMIGRATION
OFFICIALS.
>> IT'S TWO POINTS AND I'LL
TRYING TO MAKE THEM QUICK.
I THINK WE ARE AT A POINT IN THE
UNITED STATES WHERE WE HAVE HAD
A POLARIZING AND CONTENTIOUS
DEBATES ABOUT IMMIGRATION AND
WAYS ACCEPTABLE IN THE
IMMIGRATION.
I THINK IT ADMINISTRATION AND
THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP HAVE
BEEN AT EXTREMES AND HAVE NOT
FOUND A THOUGHTFUL, SENSIBLE WAY
TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES.
AND IT'S BEEN REFLECTED IN THE
WORKPLACE.
I WORK WITH YOIRNTION AND
MILLENNIALS.
AND THEY WANT A WORKPLACE TO
WORK FOR COMPANIES THERE WHERE
THERE IS A CERTAIN AFLIENLT
THEIR VALUES.
I THINK YOU WILL SEE IT IN THE
WORK SPACE AS WELL.
I THINK THESE GOOGLE EMPLOYEES
FEEL THEY ARE TAKING A STAND ON
