News I'm Noel King and I'm Steve Inskeep we find out very soon of House Republicans agree on want to do about immigration the House voted on a bill last week and defeated it they delayed a vote on a 2nd bill that's considered more moderate and meet today to discuss it the Republicans with the vote will include Jim Jordan of Ohio people who follow Congress will know him is a co-founder of the conservative freedom caucus and he joins us now from Statuary Hall this cavernous room full of statues in the Capitol Congressman good morning roaring good to be with you guys Ok so we should note as we said this conservative bill failed last week there's what's considered a more moderate bill that's been delayed the President Trump has said he has endorsed it but also said you shouldn't bother to vote at all do you feel you know what the president wants he wants he wants what we told American people we're going to do he wants a border security wall he wants in chain migration let's stop the beast a lottery let's get rid of this crazy sanctuary city policy wants to reform our solemn laws and we want to deal with the docket population and oh by the way the bill that went down by just a few votes last week would have accomplished all that and the reason the compromise a more moderate bill wasn't brought to the floor last week is because it was going to get a lot less votes then the conservative measure which by the way last week based on absences and who was here will indeed in 1000 more votes to pass that bill so we were told all along by our leadership that the good legislation the conservative bill didn't have the votes to get there and yet we were that close to making our you've put a lot on the table I hope we get to discuss just a little bit of it but can you help me understand why it is that neither of these measures seems to have enough votes to pass if it does everything you say it does Well I think the conservative bill if there would have been a serious with effort on the part of the leadership it would have passed we were there when you start with 193 votes I mean again we were told all of this only has 15160 we can't pass it and then when they put it on the floor in front of god in everybody it got 193 with with virtually no real with effort so that was the one that was consistent with what we told the American people. We're going to do and like I always say never hurts to keep your promise so this this more moderate bill I understand a number of members of the Freedom caucus that you're a part of that they have opposed to this it seems that one of the reasons is that it would include an eventual path to citizenship for people in the dock a program people who were brought here as children and don't have legal status today is that the reason that some members of your caucus are reluctant to say they'll vote yes on that one there's lots of reasons remember we were willing to allow the docket individuals to stay here frankly I think many of our members are willing to even allow those individuals a pathway to citizenship as long as it's not unique as long as it's not special and as long as it's done in conjunction with all the good border security measures I just talked about and that we all campaigned on so that's why the good legislation which oh by the way was a compromise for us for us conservatives that's why it's such a good bill and the one that should pass so yeah there's different reasons but but some of it is what you describe let me make sure that I understand what it is that you would like to happen 1st with asylum seekers who are arriving are arriving at the border now President Trump has at least for the moment ended the policy of separating parents from children once to hold them in custody although we can only do that for a few weeks at most 20 days at most what do you want to happen to those asylum seekers we want those who legitimately are entitled to asylum they should get it but when I met with ice just 2 weeks ago they said they said 80 percent of the individuals seeking asylum are not eligible for it there but they've been coached to what to say but they're not actually eligible for it under the rule of law so of course we want to keep families together but we want to do it in a way that's consistent with the law and we want to allow people who legitimately to get in but others who don't they should not be permitted to come here that's been clear and that's just that's just following the law but they should be. Family as they go through the process so we can make a real determination why not just get more people down there to interview asylum seekers or get them before judges in the cases where that's necessary your committee doesn't she well because because Chuck Schumer will vote for there's a bill in the Senate right now Senator Cruz is still a congressman that has a bill in the house and Chuck Schumer said they were not going to support it so yeah this just highlights the fact that the Democrats don't want to solve the problem they want catch and release they want open borders and they want a political issue so yeah I'm all for that well but we'll just you know the Senate was Senate Minority Leader has been real clear he said he's not going to let that legislation happen well we'll just know the Democrats would not describe their policy as open borders but I hear you I want to ask about what else is it Steve if this catch and release if they if they're saying you have it and we'll just mention the thing for 20 days there is what else is there are nothing what else it is that Congressman there are numerous other options like alternatives to detention which have been discussed on this program but I just want to ask you about one of the thing Congressman and it's what the bottom line goal is here Michael Anton former aide to the president on the National Security Council wrote a really interesting op ed the other day and the headline was why do we need more people in this country anyway it's emphasizing that he just really like less immigration didn't think that the case for immigration had been made is the actual goal of people on your side of the argument just to have fewer people coming into the country period the actual goal is to enforce the law every sovereign nation has the right to know who is coming into their country are they doing it legally are they willing to assimilate and be a part of our great culture in our great country it's not about what number the immigration levels going to be or not letting anyone in that is that that's not that's not been the our position on my position of the conservative position but it is about following the law and making sure when people come here they come here legally Congressman thanks very much pleasure talking with you you bet Ok That's Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio from Statuary Hall at the Capitol N.P.R.'s Scott d'être is here in N.P.R.'s Studio Scott what did you hear there what struck you I think the bottom line is that the Republican Party still has a massive divide within itself that it can. Can't solve it if it could solve this divide they would have had a vote on this measure instead it's repeatedly having the same conversation over and over again and having votes delayed and the problem is President Trump has set a broad parameter for a bill he wants because of that Democrats aren't going to be part of the conversation Republicans have to solve it themselves Ok so there is this more moderate legislation we don't know what happens with it will continue following it while this fight over immigration has been playing out global markets have had a turbulent couple days because of tariffs and counter tariffs and fears of a trade war now a lot of this is about the u.s. Relationship with China and part of it is about some plans by China to advance its own economy China has a plan called Made in China 2025 that plan is to dominate several high tech industries over the coming years last month the White House announced plans to restrict Chinese investment in the u.s. In some of these high tech industries and then yesterday administration officials denied those plans Robert Taylor is in our studios to help us make some sense of this he's director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States at the Wilson Center good morning good morning all right so we've got reports that the u.s. Wants or plans to limit Chinese investment in certain high tech industries in the u.s. Investment a lot of people argue is a good thing so what is the u.s. Worried about the u.s. Is worried about 2 things one is specific to economic relationship with China they're worried that China's economy is still not nearly as open as ours to China's tariffs are 3 times higher than ours and that China may be investing in the United States in industries that give it intellectual property which it can use to develop its own industry through its industrial policy back in China that will help it dominate world markets and perhaps thereby we can the United States so there's a concern about practices that are seen as unfair subsidies to stay on enterprises for example the coerced transfer of American technology to Chinese at the same time as other issue about long term geo strategic competition between the. United States and China the Trump administration has said that China is our greatest long term strategic challenge and so the trump of ministration sometimes speaks as though it doesn't like China's unfair practices it sometimes speaks of China's own development aspirations are themselves unfair right and there's a question of whether or not the United States sees China China fundamentally as a threat so how is China responding to these reports we say we may restrict investment China says What exactly are right we want to invest China says that it will counterpunch very hard that it will match our tariffs for as long as it can but because we import more from China than they do from us China is going to run out of American imports it can place tariffs on it can therefore go after individual American companies and make American companies and American industries for example like agriculture feel the pain so China's going to counterpunch Xi Jinping himself has been clear about that at the same time China is continuing to talk about the importance of economic globalization and it wants to lead in that yesterday we had a very important announcement that the European Union which shares our concerns is going to pursue a bilateral investment agreement with China to address these concerns were not part of those talks is that a big deal should we be worried about it absolutely a big deal we withdrew from the Paris climate agreements we withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership now we're not part of a what may be a new regime of trade and investment which we would have been leading at any time over the past 50 or 60 years and now the party is being held and we're not invited Ok so what we're looking at here is possibly an increasingly isolated us we also have a u.s. That is looking at China and this made in 2025 plan with what appears to be a great amount of worry that China intends to surpass us technologically should the United States be worried about Made in China 2025 we should be worried as long as we understand that Made in China 2025 is short hand it represents a whole range of concerns we have about the United States their economic. They're technological There are security concerns and yes those concerns are real they are legitimate China has 20 percent of the world's population we have 4 they have the world's largest middle class and the gap between the size of their middle class and our own is growing which means they become tastemakers to the world and drive markets of both the supply and the demand side this is a relative weakening of American economic and therefore military and political power Robert Daly is director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States at the Wilson Center Robert thank you so much thank you this is n.p.r.

It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King thousands of migrant children have yet to be reunited with their families they were separated as part of the trumpet ministrations 0 tolerance policy there are a lot of questions about how these kids are going to get back together with their parents but we do know where many of them have gone Here's White House chief of staff John Kelly on n.p.r. Last month the children will be taken care of put into foster care whatever he is right about foster care says Sherry Lockman She's the founder of foster America a nonprofit that works with the country's child welfare agencies as she was also a domestic policy adviser to former Vice President Joe Biden and she says undocumented kids become part of the federal foster care system that is run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement or o.r. The vast majority of these children are in institutional foster care Congar gets the syllogism which many children are housed together and like when told me why she thinks foster care is not the best way to serve these children I think it's important to start with the understanding that separating a child from her family and placing her in foster care in the 1st place is like chemotherapy it's inherently toxic and damaging to the child so it should only be used in cases where it's absolutely necessary to protect that child and of course the situation at the border is clearly not one of those cases so I want to get to some of the specific things that we're talking about with migrant children what are the challenges for the people looking after the kids and what are the challenges for the kids for the people looking after the kids there are several challenges that they have to deal with 1st of all if they don't speak the child language that creates an incredible barrier between themselves and the child and you can imagine being in a home where your caretaker can't communicate with you it's terrifying and then another challenge is of course the trauma most of these children have already. Trauma in their home countries and then you compound that with the extreme trauma of being separated from their families with all of this news that we've been hearing about these children and about the separation are foster care centers overwhelmed our individual homes overwhelmed the part of our country's foster care system that takes care of unaccompanied immigrant children and now children who have been separated from their parents at the border is completely overwhelmed and they're wholly unprepared to deal with this increase because one they had no time to plan for it and to the kids separated from their families who have now flooded their system are very different than the kids they're used to supporting they're used to working with youth who were old enough to cross the border on their own and now they're dealing with infants 5 year olds 9 year olds who are separated from their parents after crossing the border with them one possible outcome here is that rather than parents and children being separated the entire family is just deported together that way there's no separation but the family goes back where they came from what do you think about that it's both child abuse and a violation of. Children's rights to separate them from their families that's one of the most. Her ethic things you can do to harm not only their development us children but their lifelong outcomes and you're also violating the 2 process rights of parents and children by sending them back home without a fair hearing on whether they can or cannot receive asylum I'm not saying that none of the family should be sent home I'm saying let's comply with the u.s. Constitution and our rule of law. I want to play a piece of tape for you n.p.r. Talked to Terence shake who's a longtime Border Patrol agent on Saturday and here's what he told us about kids who are being taken from their parents we've taken them we put them into a shelter we've given them food and clothing we put them in a climate controlled environment and we are protecting them and then we are processing them in a humanely and as expeditiously as possible and I would challenge them to explain to me how that is the more to be clear Border Patrol doesn't oversee the placement of migrant children into foster care that is as you've said the Office of Refugee Resettlement or are in essence he's saying we are human beings and we're treating these children humanely what do you think about that I think that's a farce these kinds of separations and placing children and these jail like institutional facilities has lifelong consequences for their development and their future education employment and ability to live as healthy adults Sherry Lockman is the founder and executive director of the nonprofit Foster America Sherri thank you so much for joining us thank you. The trumpet ministrations tariffs on steel and aluminum are beginning to yield results although perhaps not the ones the president was hoping for yesterday Harley Davidson an American company announced that it would move some production of motorcycles overseas to avoid retaliate Torrie European tariffs on American goods N.P.R.'s Eleanor Beardsley tells us about the response in Paris in a public filing statement Wisconsin based Harley Davidson said moving production abroad was its only sustainable option if the tremendous cost increase were passed on to our European dealers and retail customers said Harley Davidson it would have an immediate and lasting detrimental impact to our European business. I reach Richard Clare foam general manager of a Harley Davidson dealership in Paris French motorcyclists tend to be extremely passionate about are these general Claire phones says the terrorists will put a damper on sales taxes on a Harley Davidson have jumped from 6 to 31 percent adding at least $2000.00 to the price tag of each bike the has also slapped tariffs on Kentucky bourbon and blue jeans they are made to hurt says French economy minister Bruno Lemaire. The president said this is we're trying to make President from reverse his decision so it's legitimate that we use every means at our disposal to make him understand that terrible against allies and friends is in comprehensible and unacceptable Harley-Davidson produces some motorcycles in Brazil and Asia that number will now likely increase Europe accounts for about 17 percent of Harley-Davidson sales and France and Germany are its biggest markets Claire phones says the mystique of the Made in USA label is part of the drawl we regularly have caught coming by the dealership asking us if the bikes are still a deed maybe United States player phone says they were able to say with pride yes.

News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King economic demonstrations are flaring up in Iran again angry crowds protesting the plunging value of the Iranian Reale briefly close to Iran's Grand Bazaar. Video of those protests show crowds chanting for shop owners to close their businesses economic protests erupted in several cities around Iran earlier this year and N.P.R.'s Peter Kenyon is following the story from Istanbul Hey Peter I know well so what's going on in these most recent protests in Iran well there were big crowds at the Grand Bazaar you heard a bit of it they weren't shopping though just demonstrating and there were protests also outside the parliament Iranians have basically been under pain of a falling currency for some time now the buying power is weak the retail sector suffering ad has ripple effects some extremely sharp recent drops the Iranian media say the real fell 290002 the dollar on the black market now the official rates $42000.00 Wow So this protest is getting a bit more attention because it happened in Tehran but there have been protests on and off for months now in other cities so what is the Iranian government saying. Well the government says the United States is to blame for all of this Iran's economy was already underperforming before Donald Trump pulled out of the 2050 nuclear deal but it's gotten worse since then especially with American sanctions coming soon President Hassan Rouhani tells state t.v. It's part of a longstanding desire in Washington to topple the Iranian government something they failed to do for decades we're also seeing reports now that some of these demonstrators have been arrested and may not be released on bail so the government is taking it seriously well given that Iran does not have control over what the u.s. Does regarding sanctions is there anything that Iran can do to shore up its economy Well good question Iran's central bank says it's creating something called a secondary currency market they say that might ease the tensions relieve the pressure on the currency I'm not clear exactly on how that's going to work for left to see more broadly Iran is working with Europe and Asia to devise ways of keeping trade going in the face of u.s. Sanctions a big key will be the energy sector Iran needs to get paid for its oil and gas sales that's a huge chunk of their revenue and that may not be possible through normal banking channels once the sanctions kick in India one of Iran's big buyers just reached that conclusion it says it may revert to some other kind of back channel that's used in the past but there's also a domestic political aspect to this with regard to the nuclear agreement Rouhani is under pressure from hardliners and so the government is very publicly positioning itself to pull out of the deal itself if necessary and ramp up its nuclear activity that would only make things worse for the economy so there's a lot in play right now well no country wants its citizens demonstrating in the streets how much trouble I wonder is the Iranian government in over this well there's no question they're taking it very seriously I mean at home as we said President Rouhani he's a pragmatist to get support from the moderates and reformers but he is under heavy pressure from hardliners and has been ever since he won reelection last year. Now at the same time the Trump administration's stated goal is to increase economic pressure on Iran until Tiran is forced to come back to the negotiating table Trump wants a tougher nuclear deal than agreement on missiles and other things so the government's economic struggles are encouraging hardliners in Iran that they might be able to take back the president's room from Rouhani if not right away then in the next election which is still about 3 years off Rouhani had very strong support at the ballot box last year but continuing economic woes are the biggest threat to that public support N.P.R.'s Peter Kenyon in Istanbul following economic protests in Iran thanks Peter thanks to the agency guarding the southwest border of the United States says it will suspend President Trump says 0 tolerance policy it will stop referring every person caught crossing the border for criminal prosecution it was the prosecutions that led to the administration's separation of parents and children Here's N.P.R.'s John Burnett the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Kevin McElwain and said his agents would temporarily halt sending families to court to face criminal charges for illegal entry he said child separation just hasn't worked and much better system would be to keep families together through their immigration proceedings that's what the Obama administration then 2014 that's what the president has asked Congress to help us do now not to lead in was on the border in Macallan Texas yesterday talking to reporters it's a here's challenge for racially for our agents a c.b.p. Officials speaking on background confirmed that Border Patrol stations are overcrowded kids are waiting in a cage like holding cells while their moms and dads go to court in shackles what's more federal agents complain they're spending more time processing immigrants than guarding the border Meanwhile another government agency offered a rare look Monday to reporters of how it's caring for unaccompanied immigrant kids u.s. Health and Human Services gave a tour of a controversy of emergency shelter in West Texas which critics call a tent city about 330 kids mostly teenage boys live in.

News I'm Noel King and I'm Steve Inskeep What exactly is driving Central Americans to seek asylum in the United States to be clear the flow of migrants at the Mexican border right now is a fraction of what it's been in some other recent years but there is a flow of asylum seekers and we've called Send Salvador the Capitol Hill Salvador unreached k on draw day of the a group Catholic Relief Services who joins us via Skype Good morning good morning so I'm looking at an international crisis group paper in the headline of it is El Salvador's politics of perpetual violence focuses on gang violence fighting between gangs and the government while What's what's driving the gang activity. There's been gang activity in this country historically for Powell the last 2530 years but it really ramped up in the early 2000 period and the gangs that are heard about here in this country actually were born on the streets of Los Angeles in the 1980 s. Are we talking about him as 13 which is very famous in the u.s. Now or other gangs in Mr teen and 18th Street primarily So you're telling me that gangs started on the streets of Los Angeles immigrants may have been involved and at some point people moved home to El Salvador or were deported to El Salvador and brought the gang with them. Mostly it was they were deported in the early ninety's when the country was going through a transition from war to peace and while organizations were trying to rebuild the country after that war quietly festering was this discontent among young people and feeling that they were completely excluded and gang members were deported into that situation and found a very right space for building a sense of belonging among young people that felt very excluded I can understand someone needing to flee gang violence but what is it about the violence that would cause someone to say I need to flee the country and not only the country I need to flee Central America I need to go up and get to the United States don't choose to leave the country it becomes a last resort and so they may have already fled and left their home and tried to find someplace else to live they may have changed jobs and it just gets to a point where this is the last resort are there no safe neighborhoods in all of El Salvador. There are if you are from an area that's dominated by the m.s. You can't go to a neighborhood that's dominated by 18th Street crossing streets oftentimes will put people at danger the neighborhoods where a lot of these folks come from are very poor and people have scarce resources and so it's not quite so easy going into a neighborhood that does not have gang activity you need to have a lot more economic resources to be able to do that is the news from the United States the separation of parents and children which is now ended but it did happen the effort by the attorney general to narrow the conditions for asylum is that news causing anyone that you've heard of to decide not to flee to the United States not that I've heard of I'm sure that people may be causing on whether or not they're going to go immediately or if they are already in or out what their next move maybe but for the most part people are at their with and and I don't see that there's any other alternative one of the Jesuit priests here has described it being in a dark dead end alley and migration is a long dark dangerous tunnel but it's a tunnel with a ray of light at the end Ok Andrea of Catholic Relief Services in El Salvador thanks very much thank you she joined us via Skype this is n.p.r.

Good morning I'm Mark Albert you're with North State Public Radio. It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King beginning in the 1950 s. The u.s. Experienced a surge in international adoptions it peaked around the mid 2000 but in that time millions of children were adopted and brought here to the u.s. As they've grown into adults some of them are trying to learn more about where they came from which is something that N.P.R.'s Ashley Westerman knows a little bit about. 4 months ago I took a plane halfway across the world to find a woman I hadn't seen in 30 years my birth mother she did say they did a hard get. There and then left it was a steamy Saturday morning when I arrived at the Heart of Mary Bia a home for unwed mothers in Manila the capital of the Philippines I spent the 1st 10 months of my life here as an orphan given up by a young unwed Filipino who couldn't afford to raise a child walking up. The path here to get to the house. When I arrived I was greeted by one of the Nazi would help search for my birth mother I love the name where. Is the. Sister Maya Kamiya and I spoke for a bit and then she led me into a cream colored room with green trim this is the room she says where the reunions happened. It turns out a lot of adoptees have been in this position and like me they also want answers the key motivating factor I think is you know filling that void of of really wanting to know more about who I am and where did I come from and what were the circumstances of my relinquishment Debbie Riley is the c.e.o. Of the Center for Adoption Support and education or case in Maryland her adoption agency is one of the many who say there's been an uptick in adoptees searching for their biological parents while there are no hard numbers on. Who or how many are searching one thing for sure is that more adoptees than ever our intern adulthood I just turned 30 this year and I've always wanted to search now just seem like the right time like many in my generation I want to know more about who I am I already know the Ashley who grew up with a white family in rural Kentucky I want to know more about the Ashley born in the Philippines who was I who could I have been who was my mother during even look like her. While telling the story I talked to several adoptees who would also searched for their birth parents yet I'd seen a confirmation China Kaufman is one of them she didn't think about searching for her birth parents until she and her husband started the process of adopting their son from South Korea Coffman was adopted from South Korea in the early Eighties she had her own reasons for wanting to find her birth mother we met at a restaurant Harrisonburg Virginia for some reason and certified you know something must have happened between my birth mother and I maybe she had me and just felt nothing maybe she just knew she couldn't love me as it only took about 3 weeks for the Korean adoption agency to find her birth parents recordkeeping all over the world is just better today than it used to be soon they were exchanging letters photos and I remember looking at her photo and seeing my face and her face and it was so nice I had never seen a face that looked like my Before it was that was really emotional for me Coppin found out the adoption story she was told wasn't true instead of being given up by a single mother she was given up by a married couple would already had 2 daughters and decided they couldn't afford a 3rd daughter often found out that she does have a younger brother within 6 months she met them Kaufman remembers being very nervous walking into the room to meet her parents and older sisters I had to tell my feet you know what to do who for. Where turn left. That. I had watched a couple of reunions on You Tube and I was sort of expecting a loud wailing are aggressive hugging it seems she didn't do that but she cried silently. It was really touching a lot of adoptees have different reunion experiences Kaufman's reunion has been positive so far she still keeps in touch with her Korean family as she calls them she text her older sisters and has spent weeks in Korea with them others aren't so positive I've heard stories of biological families asking for money and struggles between birth parents and adoptive parents Luckily my parents have always supported my decision to look for my birth mother I didn't have any expectations when it finally happened was. That. When Lucy to involve Kanya walked into the room she hugged me like a mother who had been missing something for decades almost. And not as we talked I realized I didn't recognize her I didn't see my face and hers I was prepared for this though I'd already seen photos on Facebook that's how she was found on Facebook social media is actually making these kind of reunions a lot easier the Internet has also given rise to online communities where adoptees are not just talking about finding their birth parents but some are even trying to conduct their own searches that way too this is my family. So on the oldest we said looking through a photo album of my life sister Lana had to translate him I was he doesn't speak a lot of English and I speak hardly any Seagal Ugh there was kind of a strange interaction we talked this way for a while. As it turns out my adoption file was accurate when I came along Lucy to was unmarried and couldn't afford to keep me she wanted me to have a better life when she got pregnant she left home and pretended to work in Manila she gave birth to me in secret she's married now and lives in a village by the sea with her husband and 4 children my half siblings that's the family and life Luisita went back to after our meeting just like I went back to my family and life in the us but we were both changed and least a little bit I got some burning questions answered about where I came from and Lisita Well she got some peace of mind while we were talking to told me she was worried I would be angry with her for giving me up the least thing for him if she were you said the old lady in court that. I have. I have had a really good lover and you did the right thing. And I'm not mad about it. Then I watched as 30 years of guilt and sadness now today. Ashley Westerman n.p.r. News.
