SALINAS, Calif. - La Costa Central se encuentra esperanzada al escuchar que continúan las negociaciones sobre DACA.
"Hoy aprendí que hay cosas que se están haciendo para que sean mejores que DACA," dijo Andrea Cervantes una beneficiaria de DACA quien asistió a la presentación del Congresista Jimmy Panetta en el Colegio Comunitario Hartnell en Salinas.

This comes just before politicians head back to Washington for more immigration talks.

"I apologize for the weather," said Melissa Kendrick, the Food Bank's executive director. "First, I'd like to draw your attention to our swimming pool," she said, gesturing to standing water left from the showers.
California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris both opposed the Senate deal to reopen the federal government on Monday, saying they weren't satisfied with assurances for a vote to protect young immigrants who entered the country illegally.
