Backed by Improve the Dream, this legislation would allow dependent visa holders to maintain their status, even after they turn 21: no more fear of a wait time for a green card that lasts for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent hearing of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/removing-barriers-to-legal-migration-to-strengthen-our-communities-and-economy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship and Border Safety\u003c/a>, Padilla said, \"The term 'wait time,' for many, is actually a cruel misnomer.

The nuances of the new laws aside, for economists to debate, the protests find synergy with non-farming Indian citizens, too, because of the way these laws have been passed — in the midst of the pandemic; the way in which the stakeholders most affected, farmers, were never consulted; and in the way their protests, since September, but in their home state of Punjab, away from New Delhi, have been entirely ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Modi government has easily shrugged, saying farmers are resisting needed changes for the often touted “development” in Modi’s story of India. But what the government is not saying is that the changes are only pro-business, and are too drastic and too high-handed to be pro-farmer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11849937\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11849937\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/RS46213_031_KQED_SanFrancisco_IndiaFarmerProtest_12052020-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/RS46213_031_KQED_SanFrancisco_IndiaFarmerProtest_12052020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/RS46213_031_KQED_SanFrancisco_IndiaFarmerProtest_12052020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/RS46213_031_KQED_SanFrancisco_IndiaFarmerProtest_12052020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/RS46213_031_KQED_SanFrancisco_IndiaFarmerProtest_12052020-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/RS46213_031_KQED_SanFrancisco_IndiaFarmerProtest_12052020-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rally in support of farmer protests in India outside of the Consulate General of India in San Francisco on Dec. 5, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've written a book, so you are very knowledgeable on these topics, but why in the Bay Area and why now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 10,000 Sikh Americans traveling from as far as Yuba City to Los Angeles converged on the Bay Area for an in-vehicle, socially distanced caravan protest to bring national attention to the ongoing human rights crisis playing out in Delhi.

The spark might be the new laws, but the pain and outrage is decades old and due to devastating policies that have taken too many lives the state considers expendable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new laws have poked at a deep trust deficit. They allow big corporations to be unfettered buyers against whom small farmers believe, for very good reason, that they’ll have very little negotiating power.
