“High-skilled” immigrants from Mexico are major contributors to the United States’ so-called “knowledge economy,” and fostering that relationship will benefit both countries, according to a new report from Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.

Elizabeth Salamanca, nonresident scholar at the institute’s Center for the United States and Mexico, explains that high-skilled migrants include students, professors, researchers, technicians and CEOs, among others, who specialize in fields such as health care, mathematics, computer science, life science, physical science and engineering, all part of the knowledge economy.

“Between 1990 and 2017, the growth rate of skilled (with an undergraduate degree) and high-skilled (with a graduate degree) migration to the U.S. was more than double the growth rate of low-skilled (less than an undergraduate degree) migration,” Salamanca wrote.

These high-skilled migrants help fill the gap between the needs of U.S. employers and the number of Americans in the labor force with the skills they require, particularly for jobs such as software developers and testers, health services managers, financial managers and accountants. This includes specialized areas such as cybersecurity, energy independence and biomedical research.

The impact of low birth rates and an aging workforce in the U.S. has traditionally been largely offset by Hispanic immigrants, allowing the labor force to grow at rates needed for healthy production, Salamanca wrote. These workers also tend to be younger than the native population and more willing to move to areas with better job prospects.

But the flow of immigrants has slowed, a trend that is likely to continue for the next three decades, according to the paper.

“The U.S. nowadays accounts for lower shares of high-skilled migrants and international students than it did in the past,” Salamanca wrote. “In fact, skilled labor shortages resulting from a pronounced information technologies and software development shift in innovation led U.S. multinational corporations to search abroad for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workers.”

The jobs of the future will mainly be high-skilled or middle-skilled, Salamanca wrote. She argues that the U.S. must find ways to harness the “full diversity of available talent”—not only to alleviate the talent shortage but also to propel the knowledge economy forward.

High-skilled Mexican immigrants can also benefit their home country’s economy through the sharing of knowledge, such as technical know-how or pricing strategies, which can help fill “deeply ingrained institutional voids” in Mexico’s developing industries, Salamanca said.

“In other words, it is not all about monetary incentives or corporate interests, but also about the passion for knowledge generation and diffusion,” she wrote.

After raising and disbursing more than $62 million during the height of the pandemic for the state’s undocumented community last year, the Washington Dream Coalition (WDC) says there’s still more work to be done. 

A new report published early last week details the impact the organization’s COVID-19 relief fund had on the undocumented immigrant community. The grassroots effort for the relief fund was in response to most undocumented immigrants being left out of the stimulus package last year and ineligible for unemployment benefits. The report consists of qualitative demographic and employment data taken from the application process, which one of the main organizers and writers of the report called an “unprecedented” look at the community. It also highlights the voices of those who were directly impacted by the pandemic and the fund. 

“We have so much rich data that we haven’t had that can help us tell our story and do better advocacy,” said Alejandra Pérez, a WDC organizer who was part of the effort to create the fund in 2020.

According to the report, 92% of applicants were Latin American, 3% were white. Multiracial, Native American, Middle Eastern or Northern African, Black, and Asian applicants each represented around 1% of eligible applicants. An estimate by the Migration Policy Institue says there are around 229,000 undocumented immigrants in Washington State, with 75,000 in King County alone. More than 19,000 people applied for WDC’s relief fund. 

The report also collected data on employment, which found that the largest job sectors where undocumented immigrants were impacted was agriculture, construction, and the service industry which includes restaurants. 

“The report is to tell that story of what undocumented folk have been facing throughout the pandemic,” Pérez said, adding, “The systemic barriers we were facing prior to the pandemic and how it was solidified.”

Undocumented communities are not only ineligible for unemployment, they are also unable to access government health insurance. The pandemic unveiled a public health crisis that intersected with major fault lines across race, as is seen with how COVID-19 disproportionately impacted Black and Latino communities. 

Pérez has worked for WDC since 2014 and is also a beneficiary of the controversial Obama-era memorandum known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that granted people brought to the U.S. as children renewable work permits. She said as COVID-19 began to advance quickly within the U.S., her family was immediately impacted. 

“My brother used to work in a kitchen and my dad used to work in construction,” she said. “My brother ended up getting temporarily fired because of the pandemic. My dad didn’t have access to unemployment because he doesn’t have DACA like my brother did, so we saw what not going to work and not getting paid is like, and we live together because we need to support each other.”

Latinos are more likely to live in multigenerational households which is one reason why the community was disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

More than 19,000 individuals applied for WDC’s relief fund, but only around 6,000 people were eligible for funds.

Focus groups held with 34 recipients collected anecdotes about the way the fund helped them during some of those first waves of COVID-19. It also shows gaps in the ways undocumented people are assisted, including lack of affordable health care. 

“Sometimes we don’t want to go to the hospital because we are scared of the bill we will get,” says an anonymous person who received relief. 

“It’s much easier if you could with insurance because [if] I am sick I would go [to the doctor] because I know my insurance would cover it,” said another person quoted in the report. 

The grassroots fund launched at the end of March 2020, and as a result of its success, WDC was able to advocate for relief funds for the uncodumented immigrant community at city and state levels. Still, the report shows there was not enough to provide for everyone, resulting in an “unmet need across all funds’’ of more than $48 million.

Now, Pérez says WDC is moving forward with the report as a tool, using the data to convince state lawmakers that there needs to be employment and health insurance available for undocumented people in Washington State. 

“The name of the report is Community Provides for a reason,” Pérez said. “We started this based on community efforts and want it to go beyond that; we want the State to do this so it’s not only up to the community.”

I posted this recipe for a Cold Chicken, Vegetable & Noodle Salad first in 2017 & I continue to love it! I have updated it a bit!

This dish can be eaten cold or warm (we prefer it cold)  This comes together very quickly even though there are several steps to the recipe. While the chicken is cooking, you get everything else cooked & then mix it all together & enjoy!

The chicken gets marinated for at least an hour. Then you can grill the chicken breasts outside, use a grill pan or bake them in the oven. Discard the marinade unless you are grilling the chicken as it will burn in the oven. Some thinly sliced purple cabbage, a red pepper & a carrot are gently sautéed and added to the cooked noodles with a delicious dressing.

The recipe calls for spaghetti as the noodle but I had brown rice ramen noodles in my cupboard from Costco so I used those..really quick & easy to make & we like them! I have used spaghetti and it is great too!

The flavor is outstanding in this Cold Chicken ,Vegetable & Noodle Salad & I intend to use the salad dressing recipe on other asian inspired salads.

This recipe is easy to make with out the chicken, you could use Tofu in the marinade if you want!

The recipe is from The Nosher, but I have made a few changes!

Chicken with Vegetables & Noodles

3 tbsp rice vinegar

3 tbsp soy sauce

1/4 cup sesame oil

2 tbsp maple syrup

1/2 – 1 tsp garlic powder

4 chicken breasts, boneless & skinless

Salad Ingredients:

1/2 of a small purple cabbage, sliced thinly

1 large carrot, cut into thin julienne slices

1 red pepper, thinly sliced

2 tbsp oil

2 ramen cakes….I used the brown rice ramen from Costco…the original recipe calls for 1 pound of spaghetti so use any noodle you like! OR use 1 box %))G of spaghetti

2 green onions, sliced *** some of this is for the garnish

2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Dressing for the salad

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp honey

5 tbsp rice vinegar

2 tbsp soy sauce

Method

Make the salad dressing: Put the garlic, ginger, salt, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar & soy sauce in a  small saucepan & bring to a slight boil, lower the heat & simmer until a bit thickened & the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.

Now, cook your chicken Take the chicken out of the bag & discard the marinade. We BBQ’d it, but you can use a grill pan or saute pan if you want. Cook the chicken until completely cooked through.  Baste the chicken with the marinade that you kept aside. *** if you want, you could put the chicken breasts in the oven to cook while you are preparing the rest of this dish…if its raining..or you don’t want to BBQ…just make sure it isn’t over-cooked.

When the chicken is cooked set it aside to cool while you put the salad together. When you can handle the chicken, shred it or cut it up into bite size pieces. *** I cut it up into pieces.

Using a large bowl, put this all together

Noodles first, then the cooked vegetables. Next add the chicken. Dress with the salad dressing & add 1 of the cut up green onions; Mix it all togehter & garnish with the other sliced green onion & the sesame seeds

Enjoy!

A 47-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of running a nationwide fraudulent student loan debt relief that stole over $6 million from more than 19,000 victims over three years.

Angela Kathryn Mirabella was arrested Tuesday and was being held in Orange County Jail on no bail, according to inmate records. She was named in an 87-count indictment as the person who filed three fraudulent businesses with the California Secretary of State – Mirabella Group LLC in Huntington Beach and Student Renew LLC and My Financial Solutions LLC in Newport Beach.

The indictment, which includes charges of grand theft by false pretenses, computer access and fraud, as well as unauthorized use of personal identifying information, identifies five others who worked with Mirabella as managers or sales agents to run the scheme.

The charges include special allegations for money laundering in excess of $2.5 million and aggravated white-collar crime.

From May 2017 to March 2020, the defendants operated third-party call centers, reaching out to people who were struggling to make their monthly payments and claiming they could reduce or eliminate their federal student loan debt, said California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The call centers contacted about 380,000 student loan holders, officials said. Of the victims, roughly 3,000 were Californians.

The defendants would claim they were associated with the U.S. Department of Education, but some became suspicious, Bonta said. The defendants would then “apply more pressure by implying that their company was the only way to ensure these plans and that their offers applied for a limited time,” Bonta said.

The call centers would then convince victims to give up personal information, which the defendants allegedly used to access and make changes to borrowers’ Federal Student Aid accounts without consent, he said.

The victims would pay upfront fees and additional monthly fees totaling more than $1,000, thinking those fees were going toward their student loans, prosecutors said. But because they stopped paying monthly payments on their actual loans, some received late payment notifications, increased loan balances and some defaulted on their student loans.

The U.S. Department of Education does not charge fees to qualify borrowers for loan forgiveness programs, or other services regarding loan repayment plans, Bonta said.

“Life happens, and whether it be because a person is out of work, faces an unexpected medical bill, or other life change, many struggle to make those monthly payments,” Bonta said. “When greedy companies prey on vulnerable individuals and use misleading tactics to steal from them, they must be held accountable.”

The other defendants were identified as Cesar Sandoval-Vilchis, 35; Stephen Allen Gamboa, 39; Briana Nacole Graham, 35; Matthew Bruce Walsh, 27; Teresa Marie Lovato, 45; and Paulina Francine Pacheco, 32.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of the Inspector General assisted with the investigation.
