That means crops are not being picked and fruit and vegetables are rotting at peak harvest time. One Mexican farm supervisor, who asked not to be named, was overseeing a field being prepared for planting strawberries. Usually he would have 300 workers, but on this day he had just 80.

The Primary School, in East Palo Alto, CA, offered free tuition, as well as free health care and counseling for students and parents, in an attempt to show that giving kids the right support could lessen gaps between advantaged and disadvantaged students.
