US House approves bill to avert midnight shutdown, sends to SenateDallas celebrates the 76th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human RightsHere’s a Free Way to Tip Your Amazon Delivery DriversWASHINGTON — Democratic lawmakers including California Sen. Alex Padilla are urging President Biden to take action now to protect immigrants with temporary legal statuses and work authorizations. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to move quickly to crack down on immigrants once he takes office, including mass deportations. The lawmakers said during a news conference Wednesday that protecting hundreds of thousands of immigrants was not just a moral imperative, but an economic priority as well. “By taking work authorization for hundreds of thousands of workers away, we’re gutting our own workforce,” Padilla said. “For all the voters who turned out in November, who told campaigns and pollsters that top of mind for them was the high cost of living, the cost of housing, the price of food and so much more: Let’s be clear that mass deportations will directly result in an economic disaster and higher prices.” Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada said White House officials told her they are considering the request, but have offered no timetable for when they could act. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She and Padilla, along with Sen. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, sent Biden a letter last week asking him to redesignate eligible countries, including Nicaragua, El Salvador and Venezuela, for Temporary Protected Status, and to designate Ecuador for protections. They also urged Biden to expedite processing of applications for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program granting work permits and deportation protections to certain immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. California is home to about 68,000 Temporary Protected Status holders and 150,000 DACA recipients . Temporary Protected Status is a presidential authority that allows people to live and work in the U.S. when conditions in their home country, such as war or environmental disaster, make it unsafe to return. More than 860,000 immigrants from 17 countries are protected under the program, which the Biden administration significantly expanded. The program’s protection is granted for up to 18 months. Protections for some countries are due to end soon; designations for El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Nepal and Sudan, for instance, expire in March. Renewing them now would buy those immigrants more time to work legally and seek out alternative legal options. During his first term, Trump revoked the humanitarian protections for people from several countries, but a class-action lawsuit kept their protections in place until the Biden administration took office and reversed Trump’s move. It is widely anticipated that Trump will attempt to revoke the protections or let them expire soon after being sworn in. The plea by lawmakers and advocates comes after Trump said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the only way to prevent families from being separated is to deport them all, including children who are U.S. citizens. Trump also said he will “work with Democrats on a plan” to help DACA recipients remain in the country. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Tuesday titled, “How mass deportations will separate American families, harm our armed forces, and devastate our economy.” In a floor speech previewing the hearing a day earlier, Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) said there’s reason to be skeptical, if not cynical, of Trump’s promises to work with Democrats. “[In his] last term, President-elect Trump walked away from four different bipartisan compromises with Democrats to solve the DACA crisis,” Durbin said. “Democrats were willing to provide billions of dollars, at one point, for President Trump’s unpopular border wall in exchange for a bipartisan Dream Act, but we just couldn’t seem to reach a positive answer.” Andrea Flores, a former Biden White House official who is now vice president for immigration policy and campaigns at the advocacy group Fwd.us, said Biden’s decision to protect hundreds of thousands of immigrants from dangerous conditions is being politicized in the aftermath of the election. She noted that Temporary Protected Status is a bipartisan law created in 1990, has been used by presidents of both political parties and requires “a sober legal assessment of the diplomatic foreign policy and country conditions.” “Factors that are not in the law could potentially stop the Biden administration from acting,” she said. “The usage of TPS historically has always reflected the best of what our country does, which is to protect people fleeing harm from oppressive regimes. To fail to act now, to protect those people that we welcomed in and provided refuge to, would be a stain on the Biden administration’s legacy for years to come.”what is gamble on twitch 。

NoneNEW YORK (AP) — Stocks slipped in afternoon trading Friday as Wall Street closes out a rare bumpy week. The S&P 500 fell 0.2%, and is on track for a loss for the week after three straight weekly gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 81 points, or 0.2% to 43,833 as of 12:56 p.m. Eastern time. The Nasdaq fell 0.3% and is hovering around its record. Broadcom surged 20.2% after the semiconductor company beat Wall Street’s profit targets and gave a glowing forecast, highlighting its artificial intelligence products. The company also raised its dividend. The company's big gain helped cushion the market's broader fall. Pricey stock values for technology companies like Broadcom give the sector more weight in pushing the market higher or lower. Artificial intelligence technology has been a focal point for the technology sector and the overall stock market over the last year. Tech companies, and Wall Street, expect demand for AI to continue driving growth for semiconductor and other technology companies. Furniture and housewares company RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, surged 14.3% after raising its forecast for revenue growth for the year. Wall Street's rally stalled this week amid mixed economic reports and ahead of the Federal Reserve's last meeting of the year. The central bank will meet next week and is widely expected to cut interest rates for a third time since September. Expectations of a series of rate cuts has driven the S&P 500 to 57 all-time highs so far this year . The Fed has been lowering its benchmark interest rate following an aggressive rate hiking policy that was meant to tame inflation. It raised rates from near-zero in early 2022 to a two-decade high by the middle of 2023. Inflation eased under pressure from higher interest rates, nearly to the central bank's 2% target. The economy, including consumer spending and employment, held strong despite the squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. A slowing job market, though, has helped push a long-awaited reversal of the Fed's policy. Inflation rates have been warming up slightly over the last few months. A report on consumer prices this week showed an increase to 2.7% in November from 2.6% in October. The Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures index, will be released next week. Wall Street expects it to show a 2.5% rise in November, up from 2.3% in October. The economy, though, remains solid heading into 2025 as consumers continue spending and employment remains healthy, said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY. “Still, the outlook is clouded by unusually high uncertainty surrounding regulatory, immigration, trade and tax policy,” he said. Treasury yields edged higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.39% from 4.34% late Thursday. European markets slipped. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.1%. Britain’s economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.1% month-on-month in October, following a 0.1% decline in September, according to data from the Office for National Statistics. Asian markets closed mostly lower.
