humanizing immigration. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> how did we get to this point? more and more polls show americans are against immigration. how did we get to that point? >> that is a different trend. in years past, him i grants have mostly been favored in the united states. i think what is happening, it's become politicized. politicians of constantly confronted with the issue of the border and news of migrants coming, caravans and donald trump put night the headlines when he first started running in 2016 and it has stayed there every since. >> do you think this is something that many americans have been feeling but just haven't felled like they had a platted form to voice the opinions? >> yes and no. i think most americans still believe in the immigration ideal and what they are experiencing right now is a labeling of the border migrants as people who are problems without knowing much about their background. and, so, every year i go to the border

at least twice and i was just there in october for example at the clinic that we have at the university of san francisco, we represent over 500 migrants mostly from central america. if you spent time with them, you would realize that they are fleeing violence, gauge, cartel and domestic violence. they are not coming here to find work or do us harm. and i think that is what the american public is missing. they don't have the information on who these people are. >> let's go back to the state and federal officials over u.s. border policies. what can states legally do or not do? >> that's a really good questions. states do not have the power to regulate immigration. that is a federal job. the supreme court reaffirmed that 12 years ago in a case against arizona. the supreme court through out most of arizona's antiimmigration laws saying you can't do it. it's a federal job. so, governor abbott in texas is
